In the coming decades, I think a lot more of this will come out... I am not saying it is right or wrong...just my observation... on my university course, women were offered lower entry grades to boost numbers.

A white male friends is worried he will not make MD at a large US bank because he is not the right sex, race or sexual orientation...The established white male MDs are entrenched and it is the up and coming generation which is getting discriminated against.

Will people start to withhold information on race and sex in their applications for fear of being discriminated against? I think so...
'Power loss' or 'power failure' for a part designed to operate at ATX specs does not mean supply failure. Supply failure can cause anything up to and including destruction of all components and even death of operator.

Anyway, let's firm up how an SSD works and what the OS knows.

SSDs have volatile DRAM buffers as a staging area to use before writing to the flash.

Flush (OS ioctl) means the data is successfully residing in the volatile DRAM of the SSD.

This is all the OS knows and usually ever knows in the ioctl cycle.

If power is lost there is some time before the >16ms is up that power good signal is lost on the motherboard. The voltage on the 3.3V rail will probably also drop enough from nominal to let the SSD controller know it better gets its housekeeping in order. In other words, dump the DRAM somewhere permanent and deal with it on the next power up.

Anything the OS is doing in the interim will not likely be acknowledged as flushed so that's not a concern. The OS userspace write will never complete. That loop works fine.

The thing that gets people up in arms is that flush means the SSD has the data only in volatile memory and not necessarily in non-volatile storage.

All performant SSDs seem to work this way. They need buffers.

The larger form factor enterprise drives, which are maybe 25% more expensive, have PLP capacitor banks. These supply a solid 50ms of power. Some manufacturers supply oscilliscope screenshots and such.

Anything else seems to be variable in its approach to power loss, particularly the smaller, hotter M.2 parts .

Capacitor banks have issues like taking up space, causing inrush currents, gaining impedance over time, and mediocre reliability at the high temperatures that latest M.2 sticks experience.
It is, but those programs are definitely "broken" if they expect any sort of durability guarantees, which was the problem with the programs that ran into problems with early versions of ext4.

I.e. it's fine to open(), write() and close() without an appropriate fsync() (note that you'll also need to fsync() the relevant directory entri(es), which most people get wrong).

It's not fine to do so and come complaining to the OS maintainers when the kernel lost your data, you didn't tell it you wanted the data flushed to disk, and you didn't wait around for that to happen until you reported success to the user.

If you don't want to deal with any of that there's a widely supported way to get around it: Just mount your filesystems with the "sync" option, or run sync(1) after your program finishes, but before reporting success.

You'll grind your "disks into dust", but you'll have data safety, sans any HW or kernel issues being discussed in this thread. But hey, consumer hardware sucks. News at 11! :)

All that being said we live in the real world. IIRC the ext4 issue was that the delay for the implicit sync was changed from single-digit to double-digit seconds.

So people were experiencing data loss due to API (mis)use that they were getting away with before. After the "do it like ext3" change they might still be, it's just that the implicit sync window was narrowed again.

There's simply no way around not needing to care about any of this and still having some items from the "performance" column as well as the "data safety" column.

All of modern computing is structured around these trade-offs, even SSD I/O is glacially slow compared to the CPU throughput.

You need to juggle performance and data safety to get any reasonable I/O throughput, just like you can't have a reasonably performing OS without something like the OOM killer, "swap of death" or similar.

You can always opt-out of it, but it means mounting your FS with sync, replacing your performant kernel with a glacially slow (but guaranteed to be predictable) RTOS etc.
I am myself could be considered an (at least partly) 'ethnic Russian", my grandfather came to Kyiv from St. Petersburg.
There are no ethnic Russian enclaves in Ukraine, there is no way to find out whether a person in front of you is "ethnic Russian" or "ethnic Ukrainian". Does it matter that 50-100 years ago somebody's ancestors came from Russia to Ukraine?
In Eastern Ukraine almost everybody uses Russian as their primary language, no matter whether they are "ethnic Russian", "ethnic Ukrainian", Jews or Tatars or Greeks (there is a sizable Greek community in Mariupol region).
The level of assimilation is very high.
What's important is whether a person is a follower of some Russian nationalism ideology, or neo-stalinism, or something like that.
"Ethnic Russian" does not mean "Anti-Ukraine".
I've read a bunch of different numbers around 30, but I've never used beacons personally. I pulled out my copy of the O'Reilly book on BLE (covers up to Bluetooth 4.1), which says this

> Each advertising packet can carry up to 31 bytes of advertising data payload, along with the basic header information (including Bluetooth device address).

I didn't know about advertising extensions, thanks for the info. Without that I'm not sure if supply chain verification is feasible? I also wonder if there's a significant battery impact to broadcasting more data. I suppose they could overload the device address uuid?
This. Often times just being around is more than enough.
The axiom "we are stronger together" is only true if participants all want the same. That is not the case at all. They all have different priorities; different geopolitical views. Are you telling me that Israel should merge with the 20 states around it, or that Singapore should do the same, just because "it is small" ?

You don't have proof that he is where he is due to racism, but assuming the is the author is telling the truth we do have proof he was discriminated against because of his colour.

I'm getting strong "I'm not racist, but..." vibes mixed with "MLK said judge character not skin color".
Could you elaborate on why is it a downside?
I think the relevance here is that this racism stems from DEI initiatives, not in spite of it.
Samsung is one crap of a company. Phones are full of bloatware- my wife had a couple and I would never buy one. We also have a Samsung TV,which is kind of decent on its own,but I had to enable special menu on it, so I could disable 'samsung only Bluetooth devices' on it, as it was essentially telling me I need Samsung headphones to connect to it.

I have certainly been happier in situations of no work than in some situations of work and happier in some conditions of being homeless than in some having a home, but then happiness is a relative thing and I have never had what one generally refers to as a happy life. It is true that having a home was in itself not the cause of my unhappiness, whereas being homeless was the exact cause.

As far as being unhappy when poor, when I spent my days in the library reading and writing poetry, but did not have any money and would dumpster dive later to get food and would have to walk through the cold Salt Lake City streets in winter to find an apartment building I could sneak into the storage area of and sleep for the night I was unhappy when I was hungry, and I was unhappy when I was very cold, so for perhaps 2 hours a day, but when I was working a job I was miserable at but could not quit for various reasons I was unhappy for at least 8 hours a day, and probably more than that as my unhappiness also affected my family after work, whereas starving and living on the street affected nobody but myself.

I hope my explanation on this matter meets with your moral approval.
Care to clarify your question?
The right word is chauvinism, no?
> We are able to maintain a stable global system with international trade in no small part because most jurisdictions don't try to do the same, legislating what foreign actors may and may not do in their own countries as a condition of their business.

This is literally nonsense. All countries do this, and have done for the entire modern era.
Anyone else get bothered seeing wild animals tagged like that? I recall watching a documentary where they were tagging rhinos and elephants for “conservation” purposes, but oops some of them suffocated during tranquilization. Even if everything goes perfectly, it still feels like a massive invasion of privacy, and it’s pretty clear the animals really do not like it given how hard they’ll try to remove them.

I’ll eat my fair share of farmed meat so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut, yet I remain bothered seeing wild animals forced into a constantly monitored and physically uncomfortable situation.

Perhaps my concerns could be alleviated by papers showing direct positive outcomes for the species under observation?
This is a great story. Frustrating for the scientists. Amusing for the rest of us.
This is actually kind of a vulnerability in itself.

It would be very easy for a competitor or random bag of dicks to cause your server to flood an email server with emails. Not that this will harm the recipient server, but you can easily find your email server blacklisted because of it, effectively locking every single one of your users out of their accounts.

I don't know what's a good mitigation strategy, since this can come from a botnet. Maybe just a global rate limit across all users that allows for some bursts.
IMHO the main reason the spectrum is brought up here is to bring some simpathy for the student. Some people would label him a racist for not supporting the selection process, but saying he's on the spectrum might get him a pass and allow those people to continue reading and see his point.

Otherwise it isn't really relevant. Not much else about him is revealed.
clojurescript used to go through the Google Closure compiler, maybe it still does?
I don't really like linking to alternative frontends. It actually makes it harder for people to decide for themselves. If I use extensions that redirect Twitter to my preferred Nitter instance hard-coding a Nitter link makes it worse for me. I feel the same way about people linking to old.reddit.com. I have configured Reddit to use the old UI automatically on desktop but on mobile I find the new UI the best of the awful options. However the old links still use the old UI because it was explicitly requested.

Basically the canonical URL serves as a consistent identifier, and the reader can choose how it opens. By linking to alternatives that you prefer you are depriving the power-user reader that choice to apply their preference.

So I think we should use canonical URLs most of the time (especially for popular sites) because I value viewers preferences more than submitters preferences or a better default.
Flutter definitely looks the most hyped cross platform SDK, but is it really the most adopted one? For some reason I don't see many flutter jobs in western world unlike you can find many jobs for react-native devs.
Generally, lawyers can only be managed by other lawyers. Exceptions apply in limited circumstances (e.g. see Australia).

As to your reference to the word 'legal counsel': a distinction must first be made.

The use of the word 'counsel' is often confused by non-lawyers. 'Counsel' is a specific term used to refer to lawyers appearing in court ('counsel of the courts', or 'court practitioners', or 'barristers').

Whereas 'legal counsel' is more specifically used in reference to in-house employees of companies, who handle regulatory compliance, general legal affairs of their companies, and so on. Such legal counsel may be legally trained/qualified, and may have had prior experience in legal practice. But they are not considered 'lawyers', in so far as they are not active/practising members of the bar at which they are practice, and in some instances are referred to as 'non-practising' lawyers. This is about the same distinction as e.g. a graduate of civil engineering, who has decided not to practice as an engineer and has gone on to some other field. Lawyering is however a very traditional profession, and the distinction between practising vs non-practising lawyers is very marked, and generally 'legal counsel' (as described above) are not treated as lawyers at all. It is not uncommon to find an in-house 'legal counsel' who has absolutely no idea what they're doing in practical/commercial reality, as they've never handled proper disputes or difficult contracts before except in non-contentious settings.

Thus in certain jurisdictions legal counsel are often prevented from performing any acts that must and can only properly be done by actual practising lawyers - e.g. 'legal counsel' cannot represent other companies/people/entities in courts (as they have no right of audience or locus to represent third parties), they cannot give legal advice as lawyers, etc. 'Legal counsel' as referred to in such context may be 'managed' by a CEO, but that's only because they are staff with legal knowledge, and not lawyers per se.
But is it AA if it's not explicitly declared? Is covert AA still AA?
You're right, physics simulation are still the most jankiest part of a game engine and for good reason. And these buggy parts are what brings humor to many games like the one's you've mentioned.

Still, I never expected ragdolls to be THAT buggy in Cyberpunk. I thought ragdolls were mostly a solved problem, they're still funny to look at but aren't that glitchy anymore. You can probably eliminate most of the stability issues of ragdoll systems (which have lots of constraints between rigid bodies) by damping the hell out of them (along with adding some realistic joint constraints). But I really don't understand what Cyberpunk's engine is doing, the 1% of cases when things align well it looks very realistic, but most of the time it glitches out weirdly (unrealistic poses) in ways I don't expect. Looking at the way how characters can get stuck to objects it seems like there are some serious issues with contact resolution...
I can confirm. Stepping off the treadmill - or just slowing it down - gives you so much more space to be curious.

It's not just a matter of precariousness. You just have a lot more time and energy for these things. You can always sleep a bit longer, or delay work to follow an impulse with your full energy. There's always time for projects, even if they're not part of some hustle. It's an incredible privilege.

Forget about the American dream. The Victorian dream is where it's at. I want to spend my days being a gentleman scientist and a student of the arts. I want my best work to follow my morning tea in the garden, and I want to join a Society of Likeminded Nerds to talk about it.
I follow your logic, but are you sympathetic to the notion that an individual might judge an unknown entity with seemingly good content (my personal example: not infantilizing the viewer) may be more trustworthy than a demonstrably untrustworthy entity like CNN.

If your response was to the suggestion to trust this YouTuber it would make sense to me, but this is a rote comparison between a bad actor and an unknown actor. If I believe that CNN is a bad actor, I’ll trust relatively-unknown-but-compelling-content-YouTuber over CNN.
Yeah, check your local law's implementation of 1999/44/EC and bring it back to the seller. The seller might urge you to try the manufacturer warranty because it makes their life easier, but ultimately they are responsible under EU law. If Samsung _is_ the seller, you can bring them to small claims.
I don't want to belittle this piece of journalism but water-channel-based irrigation systems were already being used by Romans in Spain.

I'm very good with skiing and started with age 35 to snowboard. I learned the basics quick, but now even some years later, I'm pretty good on the board, I just don't have the same safe feeling like on my skies. Now on perfect slopes, I prefer my (slalom) ski, if the weather is a bit snowy or the snow is not perfect, I prefer the snowboard.
Maybe for huge orchards, but I said it was hypnotic because it was more of a technical work. Once the trenches are in place (and they can be made with a tractor) the only work is one move with the hoe to switch the water flow from one trench to the next. I was a child and the guy allowed me to try it once. I succeded just with three loads of dirt instead of one.
I got this feeling that Aspergers is overdiagnosed.

I was a substitute teacher for a special autism/asperger class with 15yo students, in math.

Some half of them obviously had clinical introvert problems.

I was asked not to touch the students and I really understand why, becouse my first instinct was to touch them when someone didn't seem to hear me.

But like half of them seemed to be there for playing Magic the Gathering too much.

>This requires a lot of trust. The entire point of having banking infrastructure is to remove the need for trust. Like crypto, with no oversight, how do you know your local 'phone bank' is not a rug-pull?

Isn't the entire banking infrastructure based upon social trust? I'm confused at how you can say crypto requires alot of trust yet traditional banking does not... One is based upon mathematical principles, the other on social ones. Of course traditional banking is large and well supported, but it is still inherently a social system which requires trust.

Were your kids pronouncing island like "iz-land" or "eye-land"? Just asking because other people in the thread seem to be focusing on the "H" sound rather than the fact that "Island" is the German word for Iceland. Another fun layer of confusion for multilingual kids :)

I think that free services are a mistake. But for whatever reason people _really_ like it. Take Youtube. It offers a way to avoid all ads and yet people who spent hours upon hours every day either watching videos or listening to music with it refuses to spend a dime on it. And yet, they also complain that ads are ruining Youtube and so they installed adblocker specifically for it.

Since everyone refuses to _directly_ spend money, companies just move to taking money from us indirectly. To me "free services" is like a casinos, its easy to say that you should "just not do/use it lmao" but its extremely hard to think back and consider why Reddit/Hackernews/Youtube/Twitter/Facebook is free and what are the consequences/incentives of it being "free" will mean to our society. It is simply too enticing.

Unfortunately, that doesn't lead to the desired outcome of equality of opportunity with regards race in the US because of the significance of initial conditions as regards outcomes in the US.

Policies that ignore race increase the odds that black Americans who are born poor will die poor, and the proportion who are born poor is huge relative to other races because of the US history of slavery followed by overt discrimination.

(Worth noting: it may be possible to achieve the same goals by affirmative action around poverty, not race... But would Daniel have been satisfied were he told he was too rich for the honors program?)
I have a question for commenters here.

Let's assume that you have group A, in a position of power, wealth, education, connections, etc.

There is also group B, which has none of that.

Let's assume that naturally group A doesn't want to give that up. If you don't agree, you don't know enough about human nature and I'd really like to see studies that back up your opinion.

Let's assume that most people are ordinary and statistically most people don't break through to a higher position.

How do you equalize groups A and B?
