I've got no dog in this series, but consider LCD monitors greater than 60hz have been around for I'd estimate at least 13-14 years

I had a 2233RZ in 2009 - one of the first at 120hz. Prior to that 75hz was commonplace.

The modes are presented by the display through EDID.

This is messy at times, but they [Apple] simply need to look there. Windows/Linux respect these just fine.

This is more on Apple than it is the vendors. The only mistake the vendors made was marketing these to the gamer niche. Office work benefits from high refresh rate too
hahaha that would be scary...
I've always found it interesting how simply "Not Megacorporation X" can be a competitive advantage. It doesn't make a lot of economic sense, but people will go through a lot of work - and it can be lucrative to you on the business-side facilitating this - to avoid having to interface with a faceless conglomerate like Amazon.
Is it just me, or do restarts sound a bit like coroutines combined with ADTs? In Python or JavaScript, you can use the yield keyword to “yield” control to the calling code along with a current result. If the yield type was an enum/variant (for example, a result), then it would be similar to the concept of a restart.
The terms of interaction have been updated with the following addition:

These terms address any legal entity, any person equipped with the ability to communicate in written language. Further any entity that can be considered as capable of interaction with my comment in a manner that can be considered autonomous. In cases where autonomy can't be ascertained, the terms become applicable to a person by definition mentioned above that can be considered in control or responsible for the interacting entity.
Exactly who formed this "general consensus"?
What can actually happen is the user is banned from a sub and goes to another sub and complains. The mod that banned them complains/reports to admins that this is target harassment and gets the user banned from the site.

Complaining about top reddit admins will get you banned for targeted harassment as well.

They can do whatever they want since it's their site. I just don't think I'm interested in engaging when I can setup my own blog.
It’s interesting that the protesters have a very clear goal and want to be heard, but rather than diplomatically solving the situation Trudeau has exercised a new level of force not used on citizens before. It took a couple weeks of protest for some of the harshest punishments to be used on citizens. It’s been misstep after misstep by Trudeau. First name calling, then offering some very threatening tweets, then executing on the threats.. when instead he could have taken a hour of his time to say he will sit down and hear out their point of view in full. It’s actually incredible that he could have misunderstood the people involved and the point of the protest so much and then acted as a military against them as if they are enemies and not citizens. Canada has state run media and I guess this was just the next step in government control.
Thanks for linking to this. It looks like something I've been looking for if I understand it properly. It would be neat to have a barebones OS running on a tiny computer that you could access a simplified internet.
I second this, and also look into activity-based clubs (sports, crafts, hobby-interests, drama, music, etc) that your school (or the town/city) might offer. These can be a great way to meet new people outside of your line of study and to have an easy ice-breaker for conversation as it's much easier to make new friends if you have a common interest. They can also offer a great and easy path to leadership. In my experience no one wants to be the club leader so it's easy to step up and be that role which can look great for future employment or as a resume/CV builder.
That's awesome. On FF, it's complaining that there's an issue with the SSL cert FYI: Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER
> I'm not seeing anything about standards compliance

Thanks! We'll make a section to highlight them. We use the JWT standard (not sure if that is what you mean?), Oauth 2.0, SAML, etc... there are lots of standards in this space
>On one hand, if the protests really were peaceful, I do not believe the government should shut them down.

Our charter right is peaceful assembly. If the protests were not peaceful, the police would be right to shut them down. The reason the Ottawa police cannot do anything for weeks is because they are peaceful.

>On the other hand, I’ve heard the protests have caused millions in trade to be shut down which I would not consider a peaceful act.

That would be an incorrect characterization. The bridge blockade did not touch the tunnel. https://www.post-gazette.com/news/nation/2022/02/12/Detroit-...

Furthermore, a blockade that isn't violent... isn't violence.

>If some non-citizen entity shut down millions in trade, I don’t think it would be viewed as peaceful.

Yes Trudeau has alleged that these blockades/occupations/sieges are in fact the US government. Even using the name occupation is a international definition. Military occupations would certainly justify the measures being taken by the Canadian governments.

I even agree, if the USA has a military occupation over Canada. Trudeau is right to do what he has done.

That's not what is happening. Trudeau is looking to squash peaceful political protests and the propaganda of calling the protesters racists and white supremacists is insane.

>Should the right to peaceful protest include the right to halt trade at this scale? Are the reports of halted trade overblown?

If the protests 'are at this scale' absolutely. Though yes, clearly the detroit tunnel was open. They even had 1 lane open for the bridge. It's completely overblown.

The correct action for the governments to do when protesters are blockading isn't to send in the guns and tear them down. It's to open conversation with the peaceful protesters. Liberal MP Joel Lightbound is a smart man. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-mp-politicization-p...

the protesters just need a roadmap to no restrictions and human rights being returned.

Trudeau has taken this action because there is no roadmap. He wishes to keep the totalitarian state.
I would agree with a lot of this. On the flip side, there's the sayings "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times." and "Wealth does not last beyond three generations".

I've anecdotally seen this where kids from rich parents take a lot of their wealth for granted and don't understand fully what it takes to build-up and retain wealth for the long-term. They usually get high-end jobs in society - CFO of company a dad started, doctor, lawyer, etc however it feels some depth to that wealth may have been lost...
My son and I made a video game when he was 6 (started at least). I did 99% of the coding, was 3d and math a little advanced but he drew it out, recorded audio and did a lot of research and work for it.

If the kid is excited about project you don’t need to explain much, it’s more holding them back from grandiose ideas. Kid doesn’t need to be a genius, hard work trumps that.
From the article: That makes Starship, which conducted a successful flight to the edge of space last year, especially threatening to the contractors and their allies in Congress.

So far Starship has flown to 12.5 km [1], which seems to be a stretch to describe as "the edge of space" [2].

It seems like the FAA Environmental Assessment for the "SpacePort" at Boca Chica has been delayed again from Feb 28th, by a month to March 28th [3]. If they recommend a full Environmental review that will delay progress even further. I believe Elon mentioned in the recent Starship update that they will move Starship testing to Cape Canaveral which already has permissions to launch Starship there if this is required [4] [5], but that will require building out an orbital pad for Starship.

It will certainly be interesting to see how long it takes Starship to get to orbit. I would guess that the raptor 2 performance/reliability and also the heatshield performance will be significant challenges to overcome. When/if SpaceX do overcome them, the incumbents will be justified in "shitting the bed", as per the article.

I don't think that's true. You lose some functionality, but since you can call Numba on select critical methods, it's not so bad. You can often sequester your performance-critical logic into some Numba-decorated methods, and your business elements that call out to the rest of your ecosystem are not decorated with Numba.

Or to put it another way-- if I'm using vectorized code in Numpy I can't deal with the external ecosystem from within my vectorized code either.

> The code is fast, but you lose the ability to organize your data the way you would in regular python,

Can you clarify what you mean by this? I lose the ability to organize my data the way I'd like if I'm vectorizing my code too.
Assembling thousands of parts on an assembly line? Probably. Anything remotely requiring critical thought? Not a chance.
What's also interesting about Falcon 9 is that it didn't need to figure out landing and re-use before it was performing commercial missions in an expendable fashion. Once the payloads had separated, SpaceX were free to experiment with the boosters; until they eventually figured out reliable landings, and could start re-launching used boosters.

I imagine a similar thing will happen with Starship: once it reaches orbit, I wouldn't be surprised if each subsequent mission was full of Starlink satellites (and perhaps other payloads, from brave customers!); even if it takes a long time to get reliable re-entry, re-fuelling, landing, etc.
Yeah, a lot of things in life are easier if you have safety nets.

Creating a startup is a lot more difficult if you have to pay for your own insurance which is why a lot of new creators that aren't super rich run a sidegig while fully employed before eventually jettisoning from their regular jobs.
You're being downvoted to oblivion but you're speaking my language. Government needs to get out of the way and let people thrive, rather than stepping in to subsidize the ways they're failing and encourage them to continue.
If I recall correctly, Scopes is also one of those languages (I know that it at least has a SPIR-V component).

I don't doubt it is a big drive, but wouldn't the military take the biggest portion of that cake?
Money opens doors, but wealthy living also tends to teach bad habits that limit ambition and grit.

Also, in that thread it was asserted that Steve Jobs did not have rich parents, but they were reasonably well off and lived in a leafy and pleasant neighborhood with excellent schools.
> Yes actually, I think people should be able to discriminate based on whatever criteria they see fit.

Now that I am clear we are discussing your personal fantasy, not the real world or moral consensus, this thread makes more sence.

"I'm not aware of any restriction on Apple employees applying for deer permits."

Are you unable or unwilling to distinguish between employees individually hunting in their free time and Apple the corporation getting a permit to kill 1 million deer and handing their employees rifles?

You seem very keen on blurring the line between corporate and private life. Should we also extend this logix to sexual relationships and reproductive rights, see what kind of distopian nightmare we will arrive at?
Don't be a smartass.

Agreed! But I'd propose refraining from just making stuff up off the top of your head that is demonstratedly wrong on every level. Don't be an idiot.
Sounds good! The SNIA presentation was very interesting.
If you're new to the 'professional' working world, then I can understand a lack of conformance with the norms of those environments. However, if you've been working in professional environments for a while, there's no excuse for not understanding those norms and why they exist, short of some kind of cognitive differences.
The date reporting the first use of true rockets was in 1232. At this time, the Chinese and the Mongols were at war with each other. During the battle of Kai-Keng, the Chinese repelled the Mongol invaders by a barrage of "arrows of flying fire." These fire-arrows were a simple form of a solid-propellant rocket.

But to your point the turbopump was a key contribution of the Nazis:

In mid-1935 Wernher von Braun initiated a fuel pump project at the southwest German firm Klein, Schanzlin & Becker that was experienced in building large fire-fighting pumps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbopump
I agree with everything except the 'first date'. I'm trying to find a person I'm compatible with, and who I can trust completely with who I am. Rough edges and all. I would much rather torpedo date 1 or 2 with a person I'm not compatible with than string things along for a couple of months and break up when she suddenly discovers those rough edges. This has not been a recipe for quantity, I'm hoping it's one for quality.
I think if you actually created a matrix and outlined costs and productivity of machines and their development and operations cost, you'd clearly see that your argument is wrong - but until someone thoroughly puts that effort in, it's all just conjecture from both of us isn't it?

What if you don't actually have to raise your taxes because the productivity increase, and reduced inefficiency, actually pays for itself? Or what if it is a temporary tax but then not only elevates the quality of life of the poorest who would arguably benefit the most (at least who's basic needs aren't met so Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs aren't met anywhere near adequately) but that also your own quality of life improves as well - more than the "$1,000"/month you're receiving in addition?

Also realize that companies/businesses avoiding taxes can't avoid a VAT, so that revenue leak is fixed and puts more money into the system that otherwise is draining it without replenishing it.

Did you get banned from anti-NoNewNormal subs for commenting in NoNewNormal? Or did the bannings come from subs like-minded to NoNewNormal because you disagreed with them?
You've heard wrong. There are residents who have opted to just leave the city because sleep is impossible. It's a fucking shit show.
your appetite for risks grows

Your need for success diminishes with wealth though. A lot of founders struggle to motivate themselves to push through the hard stuff, get over the pits of depression, and to drive themselves following mistakes and rejections if they have resources to fall back on. It's a lot easier to take a month off and book a nice vacation after you've been told "no" by an investor or a major customer than it is to keep going and fire up your IDE or pick up the phone to chase another sale.

Many of the founders I've met work crazy hard because they won't be able to pay the rent if they don't. They literally don't have a choice except to succeed. That's a hell of a motivator that wealthy people will never have.
> So there are a couple of issues at play here. First, a merchant can charge your account with only your card number, date and CVV

But the 2FA authentication of 3D secure with an SMS was fine(-ish) for me. I'd prefer this didn't rely on a phone (having network reception), but fine. It's better and more conforting than no verification at all.

Requiring me to validate two different forms with both an SMS and my bank account password is a bit much. But I'll adapt. I wish they turned those two forms into one directly though.
(PMT on the EFS team).

Yes, the wordings are carefully formulated as they have to be signed off by the AWS legal team for obvious reasons. With that said, this update was driven by profiling real applications and addressing the most common operations, so the benefits are real. For example, a simple WordPress "hello world" is now about 2x as fast as before.
Freezing the accounts of the people you just disenfranchised enough to park on your doorstep, especially in the height of winter, and when you expect them to pick up and go away under their own power isn't it. That's just creating even more problems.

I'll be frank. The government committed the first overreach here. These people were hard working, contributing members of society when they were free to do so. That was taken away, and no equitable exchange offered, or convincing justification given besides "father knows best", so I'm not surprised this has blown up as spectacularly as it has. They've been painted with broad strokes by the media as nuisances for making themselves collectively heard. That's what you do in a democracy. The ball is in the government's court to come back to the table, because those prople will still be Canadians at the end of this. So ignoring or squashing the problem won't make it go away.

If the government really has as much support as they think they do, they don't need formal policy, everyone will just do as they do; they just need best practices in place, and people to continue following them. If they actually don't, and the polling has methodology problems, then you're taking a step back toward normalcy and getting people back to work. The fact supposedly, what, two thirds, approve of the measures wasn't necessarily framed in a way where people are taking into account the overall cost in liberties in the long run. I'd have to review methodology.

I'm increasingly finding that as much of a hardline idealist as I tend to be, when dealing with the masses of dissatisfied people, pragmatism is often the better way to go. Get enough of them to leave to decrease the size of the protest. But if you double down on the authoritarian streak, get ready to hemorrhage support. This isn't the kind of thing you get the chance to do twice.
One thing I forgot to mention is that I recognize there is a lower bound to subscription fees; If you're paying the standard Stripe-esque fees of $.30 + 2.9%, it's probably not really feasible to charge anything much lower than a couple bucks per month.
As a former professor, I want to second this advice. Even asking the professor to re-explain some from class is often helpful. If you run out of things to ask, ask about their research. Building that relationship will help if you need an extension on assignment, a bump in a grade, or a letter of recommendation later.

Some professors won't care and it will be of little value. Do not get discouraged if it is not a positive experience. Find the professors that do care.
> the better your UX metrics are (time on-site, pages visited

IMHO actually good UX metrics mean as low time on-site and pages visited as possible. An ideal user experience (I would, as a user, be glad to pay for) is when you visit the page, immediately find what you want, do you job as quickly as possible and go away.

A good valuable website caring about users rather than ad-spamming them would optimize for this, not for users to waste huge amounts of time wandering through pages until they can achieve their goal.
So he is basically going to get bored and binge watch shows on Netflix for 3 days.

The irony to me is I would think curating a website like that is as big a problem as anything. That is going to take up way too much time and space in your brain.

Get rid of the blog, Netflix and social media then most the problems will go away.

No one is doomscrolling arXiv.
Ok it is obvious that there are one of three possible ways you handle terms of service:

1. You do not read any terms of service, like most people, and thus when you end up getting screwed over by a service you will accept that because you should have read the TOS, or perhaps you think the likelihood of you being screwed is minimal so you are willing to take the risk.

2. You read all TOS, do not accept those you disagree with, accept others you agree with.

3. You mix reading and not reading TOS dependent on how central you think they should be to your life, those that are not central you do not read because obviously those that are not central you can afford to have removed at the will of the corporations that own them.

But of course, you stated quite clearly that you wouldn't sign a contract without reading it, this must mean that you are doing number 2. You read every TOS you sign and some of them you refuse. That's great!

It's great because the parent poster you replied to made suppositions about how much time a person who did that would have to put aside to doing it, those were just suppositions though, you possess the cold hard facts and can tell us and them exactly how close their guestimates were, as well as answering the extremely important question as to how you manage your time to have enough of it to read and sign all those TOS, and in the cases where you have decided that a TOS did not fulfill your needs how you have handled it - how do you find services to replace them - have you ever been in a situation where you had to refuse a TOS even though your job may have depended on the usage of the service - how did you handle that?

Sure are a lot of things to find out about here, and finally someone who can help us out.

on edit: from reading further down the thread it seems when you said "I wouldn’t sign a contract without reading it." you actually meant that you would, but you would not complain when the company that you did not read the contract of screwed you over. Well that's sad. So I mean there is absolutely nothing a company could do to you that was not illegal that you would come complain about? Really?
Not literally true from the energetics point of view, but close enough that when you add in the other carbon releasing side effects (degradation of soil carbon, land clearing) that comes with increased corn production, it is a net carbon producer right now. That's what this study is all about.

comedic is your misunderstanding of what Bitcoin uses energy for. hint: it's not at all related to transactions per watt, in fact, Bitcoin is already capable of processing orders of magnitude more transactions than Visa through Lightning network.

That's surprising! I'm a big fan of Tiger and that era of Apple hardware (I have another project in mind to cram a TB of storage into an iPod Mini) though it's a wonder that TenFourFox went on as long as it did really. Maintaining something as complex as a modern web browser for long-obsolete hardware sounds like a gargantuan task, I'd love to be involved in keeping it going but I think it'd be above my ability to meaningfully contribute to.
Yep. Russians being dicks to Musk got us to Starship.

https://www.inverse.com/article/34976-spacex-ceo-elon-musk-t...

> The third and final meeting happened back in Russia. Musk flew there with Cantrell, prepared to purchase three ICBMs for $21 million. But to Musk’s disappointment, the Russians now claimed that they wanted $21 million for each rocket, and then taunted the future SpaceX founder. As Cantrell recounted to Esquire: “They said, ‘Oh, little boy, you don’t have the money?”
