Yes I was economical with the truth. I am probably continuing to play fast and loose with what I read, as a dilettante.

Other reading I have done recently[0] said the writings of the ancients which didn't directly inform christian thought, were not held in high esteem until quite late in the medieval world. That subsequently they became a source of non-theistically informed moral philosophy doesn't really apply.

The point at hand was that a non-theist basis for law and rule wasn't really applicable, And the leaders looked to religion to justify their acts. Did they really care about Arianism or Wanted to destroy the Visigoths over the holy book? I tend to think the more materialistic reasons of territory, lineage and wealth had a lot more to do with it.

Other reading I do of trade in the later medieval period strongly suggests a high degree of religious pragmatism before the reformation: People would trade with both the muslim and christian world, promiscuously as it suited them, and the kings would form treaties across the religious divide.

To literal truth, "across the religious divide" implies a basis of belief. I personally suspect most lip-service religion is morally athiesm-in-disguise, but I understand this is really my own view. The rise of athiesm in the modern world is the willingness of people to admit to it and I see this as analogous to the rise of visible homosexuality: It would be wrong to assume the underlying rate of homosexual desire in the past was radically different, people just hid it. I think they did the same with athiesm. Reading Marcus Aurelius was about as overt as it got.

I've been happily using localhost.run for a few years now. It's free if you don't mind randomized subdomains, and I like that I just connect with SSH instead of needing client software.
Personally I’m not excited for huge title releases anymore. Plenty of early access games that I’m down for. Recently picked up Project Zomboid for $20. It needs some work on the performance side, but playing a zombie survival game with friends is very fun. We haven’t even bothered doing any modding or other changes.
> Then please, do explain. Because the only logic I see is that you ignore other crimes to pursue these, or you increase capacity.

For example: There's a difference whether the Attorney General is Bill Barr or Merrick Garland — and it does indeed involve choice as to which cases to pursue.

The same holds true for many other offices in law enforcement and the courts. Who the district attorneys are, who the judges are, who sets budgets for police and who decides how those budgets are allocated and law enforcement resources are deployed... all of that matters.
Yes. Cost of space, cost of power, cost of business office staff to process the paychecks, cost of a bunch of CPA and auditors to make sure you're following all the federal regulations about how the money can be spend, cost of IT to provide WiFi and network jacks and bandwidth, cost of water in the water fountain, etc, etc.... At institutions where a large fraction of the work going on is grant funded if you didn't do it this way you can't really make your institutional budget balance. And 53% is actually pretty low compared to many institutions. Source: I've been 100% grant funded the last 20 years of my career and have been involved in writing 100's of federal research grants.
At that rate why not also ip ban any general purpose compute device from accessing their servers? I can't believe a major airline has programmers who think blocking jailbroken cellphones would do anything at all to thwart a hack. It makes me think twice about flying United certainly if these are the incompetent hands I'm placing my trust in.
Some of us thought of HN as a 'new, improved Reddit with smart people' when we came about 10 years back.

Sad to say, like all Empires do, all social media websites are born, grow in prestige and then decline away into garbage. Look at enough social media websites and you will be able to find them at all stages of the progression spectrum.
Thanks, that's a good observation of traditional (online?) community evolution.

It seems like software could potentially be a little different though, given zero-cost-of-copy, zero-cost-of-communication, and zero barriers (other than social inertia) to learning, inspection, modification and contribution of code.

Perhaps sufficiently-sized communities require fragmentation in order to function effectively (it certainly happens within large organizations) - that happens fairly naturally already with software projects too, though, so there may not necessarily be a scalability or community-size limit concern there.
unfortunately Russia is so large, no flights over Russia would have more impact on international travel than you'd like.
Complete travel blockade is also not something major airlines would want, because of "use it or lose it" gate slots at many busy airports.

majority of brands in Russia, much like in a lot of other countries are made in China, so good luck with that. Besides, most companies don't give 2 shits about international politics and their margins are so thin, they ain't about to lose x% of their revenue. Oh, and shell companies also exist.

lastly, all the actions you are suggesting will impact regular-ass Russian people, that have fuck all to do with politics.
There is a boarding time on every ticket. Anyone who has flown more than once knows this is not optional - closing the gate and departing early is at the airline’s discretion.

Once they started boarding and the queue is empty, they will continue with the procedures for the flight, they have an incentive to keep their on-time stats. It’s not like a train where you can simply step in a minute before it leaves.
I don't know why this downvoted. Apple dropped latest iOS support for 5c in 2017.

But 5c is most unloved device so not a good sample. It was released at the same time as 5s that introduced ARMv8 by A7. It was the worst time to release it with old chip.

I'd pick iPhone SE 16GB in 2017 that's still in support.
Yes. If someone more famous than you appears with the same name, you can be told to stop using that name. At least online. (I dont cite to cnn often, but they were the first reasonable result when i googled around for the story.)

The style of the plain English translation is hard for me to read, because it avoids commas to lower the sentence length. Is there any evidence that replacing a comma with a full stop makes a sentence easier to read, or is it just an unintended consequence of the metric?
Daft punk face mask would be preferable, if I'm separating myself from reality anyway I might as well go full cyborg. Plus a moto-helmet has the suggestion that I can see out of it, where as these things always look like blindfolds. Even with camera pass-through I wouldn't wear this in public because I think people would assume I couldn't see them. Maybe a pair of camera lenses could be positioned where my eyes would be, a la Ghost in the Shell's Batou, so that even when I'm not using pass-through, people assume I can see them.

As for the other half of my face, I really don't ever need to be taking a sip of coffee while wearing a mask, a good use of full face helmet might be to have a camera pointed at my mouth for expression-capture, transfer my mouth to my avatar.

Anyway, great product, at least I know with linux I can add whatever hardware I want on top of this.
> And I can only imagine that they outsourced their app development completely and like to keep costs low.

From my experience being on a mobile development team for a competitor. Last time I checked like most major airlines their team is in house and I’d be in shock if that changed.
It’s a pretty simplistic view to regard someone doing something that you don’t understand as irrational, especially when you’re not in or will ever be in their shoes.

You’d think past some age, people wise up to the nuance of the world.
> Do people know how to do analytic or even just AGG-quality 2D rasterization on a GPU?

I suppose the sensible answer is "do it in a compute shader if you care about pixel-perfect accuracy". Which you arguably should for 2D stuff, given that the overhead is low enough.

I just checked the subscriber count of r/archlinux, out of curiosity. With over 200,000 users, I'm not sure it can be considered "niche".

The quality of submissions is also abysmal—for every interesting or thoughtful post I see, there are dozens of really basic troubleshooting questions. And I mean really basic stuff. You can only give thoughtful answers to "how do I connect to WiFi/install GPU drivers?" for so long. At some point you start copy/pasting links or just ignoring those threads.
Both. Chris mentioned not just one.
There's no perfect filter and no perfect transmitter... correct. But the devices are required to accept reasonable interference and I guarantee that the 5g transmitters don't produce unreasonable interference. This is an issue, like has been said, of poorly manufactured/broken altimeters.

It's true that the charges were somewhat cynical in the sense that Socrates could have been charged with the same crimes 10 or 20 years earlier - it wasn't his beliefs that changed, it was the political circumstances. That being said, Plato's Apology makes it clear how seriously Socrates took this charge - proving his own piety was incredibly important.

I don't think I kept it, but a couple of years ago I made a video of a £1 coin (as thick as two US pennies) balanced in a shallow groove in the table on a long distance train in Denmark. It was about 30km before it fell over.

> I don't know how many are included in the top 25%, but I'd guess over 250 (anyone know?).

From [1], “placements of nearly 19,000 tenure-track or tenured faculty, among 461 North American departmental or school-level academic units, in the disciplines of computer science, business, and history (see Supplementary Materials and table S1).”

The 25% is from 461 universities, so probably 115 or 116 universities is included in that number.

Edit: On further reading of the supplement, there is a table that says they investigated CS faculty from 205 universities with 87% "doctorates in sample" meaning 87% of faculty having doctorates from those 205 universities being investigated. Business has 112 unis with 84% of doctorates in sample and history has 144 unis with 89% doctorates in sample.

It's not clear to me how many institutions of the "doctorates out of sample" are represented.

There is a stat in the supplement showing 50% of CS profs have doctorates from 18 universities, 50% of business profs have doctorates from 16 universities, 50% of history profs have doctorates from 8 universities.

It's possible the 25% of institutions could be closer to 51 for CS, 28 for business, and 36 for history.

And that's what allows such an approach to continue. Whenever Putin feels it, he decides that another aggressive take on Russia's neighbors is justified, and can't be countered - because he has nuclear bombs and willingness - untested, of course - to use them.

Carl Sagan had different existential assumptions. He constantly writes about the need for humanity to value it's collective and fragile existence as a whole, whereas the military cares more about WHO gets to exist and which group of people dominate the other.

Excerpt: THE PALE BLUE DOT OF EARTH Image: NASA

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Rooting an Eos Fairphone 4
Sure, but did that "2D" orientation boil down to anything beyond accelerated blitting and perhaps a few geometry-rendering primitives? Part of the problem is also that there never was a standard feature set and API for 2D acceleration comparable to OpenGL or Vulkan. So support for it was highly hardware-dependent and liable to general bit rot.
How would that work? “Conduct commerce with me or else”? Then why stop there? “Give me your territories or else”. I mean hostile annexation of Ukraine, creation of puppet micro-nations in Georgia, Moldova are already conducted with an implied threat of nuclear war. That threat is ever-present even if you impose an import tax on Russian goods. Where’s the line?

What I am most frustrated about is the broad support that Putin’s government enjoys generally from a populace that does not seem to remember where everything they rely on comes from, while enjoying their European and Turkish vacations.

Compared to industry? That's very low! Universities are cheap.

53% overhead works out to be 34% of the total money.

I've written grants with many industrial partners (companies you would recognize). All have had much higher overhead rates. Normally these rates are kept secret, but here's a fun memo from the Federal Transit Administration talking about 127% overhead rates! https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/procurement/third-party-...

The DoD gives as an example a rate of 125%!

This puts universities in some context: https://www.healthra.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Nature_K...

You'll see that non-profits and hospitals tend to have far higher rates. This doesn't include industry though. Which would be far higher.
Yeah, and given App Store owners (AAPL GOOG) have vested interest in selling more phones (or increase share), they won't be penalizing any time soon.
Germany's current gas reserves would last until about the summer, if it completely ceased importing gas from Russia (currently about 40% of its demand is met by Russia iirc). After that, things would get complicated for industry and possibly even people (in the winter).
Nice work. I'm still clinging to my conventional bikes, but anticipate when something will eventually push me over the edge, such as old age or a long distance commute. I've been reading whatever I can learn about e-bike technology so I'm ready.

So far the simplest assist I can think of would be a front wheel hub motor and a switch that turns on a constant amount of torque. This would still let me control my speed by how hard I pedal. Of course I'm scratching my head over how I would control it, since it would probably not be an off the shelf controller. But I'm also fascinated by the electronics, and having to design my own controller would be a benefit, not a liability. I also have an obsession with knowing how things work, that I have to contend with.

Of course all of this is until I think of something better.
GPU acceleration of the text editing viewport, which will not show much more than 100 lines of text at any time, has almost nothing to do with the issues in editing large files.
2012? Reddit was already well past its prime before you joined. When everyone at Reddit was posting rage comics 24/7 (before 2012), I thought it couldn't get any worse, but it did.

There are still some subreddits that are worth reading though. The trick is to focus on subjects that aren't interesting to people who are poorly educated or under the age of 25 (e.g., programming languages that are rarely used by junior programmers and, preferably, rarely used in industry).

"Reddit has an inherent problem in that the only people who are moderators are the people with the time and inclination to be moderators. These people tend, to borrow the previous language, to be below average in certain dimensions."

People often say that HN is as good as it because of dang. So perhaps there's a lot of correlation between community quality and moderator quality, and how good moderators don't just happen... you have to filter and hire them to some extent.
> Is there any evidence that replacing a comma with a full stop makes a sentence easier to read

You can't generally make two grammatically-correct English sentences by starting with one and swapping a comma for a full stop, and if you can find a case where you can, it probably doesn't preserve meaning, even in the approximate (losing distinctions of how tightly coupled ideas are) sense you can with a semicolon rather than a comma.

But, generally, yes there is considerable evidence that shorter, simpler sentences (even if the total work is similar length) are easier to read, at the expense of reducing the space of ideas that can be clearly expressed.
The point of what I am suggesting is to impact regular Russian people who broadly support Putin and his policies.
A Second Opinion
Just one more answer - why not? It seems to me that GPUs are heavily underutilized most of the time a PC is running. They kick in only in a few rare applications like gaming/rendering/video decoding and run at literal 0% utilization the other times (atleast according to what windows task manager tells me).

On the other hand, the CPU is often busy. Particularly for a text editor, theres a good chance the user is running all sorts of CPU heavy stuff like code analysis tools, databases, compile loops etc.
