Windows 7 was decent. I remember not being able to choose between windows 7 and linux because they were essentially on par in usability. nowadays setting up linux takes less time than it takes for me to set up windows 10 without all ads, candy crush (god knows why) and telemetry settings. Not to mention some settings get defaulted everytime you update windows.

My only gripe with linux is their terrible coherency in userspace. The command line is a mess of utilities and availability worse than your browser feature implementation. Everyday I come across a myriad of inconsistency that I dont want to be bothered to learn. a few examples of needless inconsistency is when you have temp and tmp folders, -h --help -help man and any combination of these. Then there's the online linux sphere, where arbitrary commands fail due to any difference in distribution/package-manager/default-configurations. At least deleting / works flawlessly.

I do understand why userspace in linux is a different beast but as a user-oriented operating system I cannot recommend it. Generally, people dont ever read instruction books ( or terms of service) and at most you can ask to comprehend everything on a single a4 paper. beyond that if its not their area of expertise theres no willingness to learn more than the absolute basics needed to get up and running. Solving most windows related problems already fail the a4 test which is why I get bothered by people because "you know computers"

Passing the a4 test is already next to impossible with how big the industry truly is. but maybe one day when linux drivers are assumed and every option is ubiquitous and translated.
beautiful game, its available on cloud gaming services like PS Now
Yes but my sense it is coming pretty soon for ES, and switching to Pinecone has a huge rewrite cost. As NNs keep getting better, vector search keeps becoming more important, and it becomes more and more existential for elasticsearch to do this well. I wonder if there actually some fundamental reason they won't be able to do so.
The first time I saw someone using a VR headset, was someone playing Doom with one in 1995.

It has been more than 10 years.
Every interaction I’ve had with the rust community was toxic in nature.
Also for whatever reason all those „rust vs go“ articles are always coming from the rust corner.
It’s like the rust community is frustrated about go success and they individually feel the need to attack their perceived competitor meanwhile the go community has no issue with any other language.
Good thing is there is no halting problem when using 64bit pointers.
>> Their current CPU-features-as-a-service marketing push doesn't look like a right move to me.

That was bothering me a bit too, but then I realized it may have a use that most of us don't care about. Sure they could charge more for AVX512 or whatever, and they might try to charge rent for such options which I'm not a fan of. But what if they are being asked by 3-letter agencies for chips with custom circuitry that would be relatively low volume, somewhat annoying to produce? If it's not too much area they could just add those features to every CPU and only enable them for those agencies via SDSi interface. Just speculation in a direction that is IMHO less awful than excess monetization.
Calling the cloud "less" in terms of return is certainly a take. Writing software in a DC was pretty miserable, managing the systems in a DC while having zero control over provisioning, having to file tickets, sending endless emails, and dealing with single lane DCs with little to no redundancy was particularly miserable.

The cloud has a lot of flaws, and I do think we'll end up back in DCs again, but it'll be different this time. Companies will have to have redundant internet providers, they'll have to provide APIs as opposed to helpdesks, they'll have to implement a redundant internal structure that scales well, storage will demand options. All of these things existed before the cloud, but became expectations when the cloud hit the market. That's why a lot of companies moved and I doubt they see it as "less".
We are aiming for a small batch of early units to ship in Q4 '22 (prioritizing Founders Edition units and early buyers). We aim to ship the bulk of our headsets in Q1 '23.

RE ergonomics and comfort: our headset is shooting for a split weight distribution between the front and the year, with good thermal management.

- Most of the components in the front of our headset are low-power, which helps against heat.

- Our detachable compute unit is in the back of the headset, with airflow going away from your head, so heat there shouldn't be too noticeable. (Contrast with the Quest, which, e.g. has everything in the front of the headset).

- We are looking into active cooling for the front of our headset regardless, in order to sustain long sessions and prevent facial sweat due to low circulation.
All of those things exist with anything that is easily exchangeable and valuable. I am confident there are more people using crypto for legitimate purposes than there are scammers. I would question why examples of ne'er-do-wells in crypto is all you hear about.
>I read somewhere pay transparency just lowers the amount of pay for disagreeable people who try to earn more. It makes things cheaper for businesses in general because it's harder to get a rise.

Then wouldn't you see businesses fighting for it instead of against it?
"one size fits all" means it fits poorly if it works at all. seems to be one of the basic elements of being human, as is pretending the phenomenon doesn't exist.

all of "those people" are identical enough to be called "those people" and [hated | revered] because of it. some people were helped by $X treatment, therefore all people should receive it, and they must be lying if they claim it didn't work. ... and so on.
That puts them more at the mercy of their suppliers. Replace "nimble" with "not in control".
I love this game, I still play it on the original hardware, a still functioning Fat PS2. Beautiful game, and honestly deserves a play from all, whether that be through an emulator or a remake.

The soundtrack is also one of the best pieces that I've gotten on my iPod.

I can't stop peaking praise for Shadow of the Colossus.
Plus all the revenue is generated from cryptocurrency trading. It’s all circular.
Hey macilacilove, thanks :)

from the service dashboard you can rescale vertically your service at any time manually in few clicks, we also have an api that allow to do that (and anything else that can be done from our frontend).

Doing it on a single node imply some downtime to rescale the instance. We do have an auto-rescale feature in our roadmap for later this year with our clusters plans
This is an intervention study, not a double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT. Patients knew they were getting ivermectin and the control group knew they weren't. With an effect that small (1.2% vs 2.0%, p=0.024) and only in >40 year-olds, bias/placebo effect seems very possibly confounding.
The only way I've seen this been well handled is to break out the value adding concepts to "bonuses" or add'l comp for details like:

"we give people and extra $24k per year if they do oncall rotation" and we give "x% more to those who work more and contribute more"

otherwise once it becomes public it turns into infighting of "we're both L3s, why do they get more?" (ignoring that one of them leaves early 2-3x a week to care for their child, or is a single worker with nothing better to do than contribute and thus does more than others) ...

They're simple concepts, but hard to get people to be grown ups about.

Also people psychologically overestimate their contributions and underestimate others... Has a lot of application in both the workplace and in intimate relationships.
I get the feeling the image from the link might just be wrong, though. It has 3 identical blocks in the user logic area. That doesn't fit the 8x8 FPGA story. There's no factor of 3 there. Maybe they just used a random example built on the same platform?

Edit: yup, they just picked a pretty picture they had of what was apparently the first design in MPW1. You can browse it here:

https://siliconpr0n.org/map/gsky/mpw1-00010001/mz_mit10x/

Almost certainly not the actual FPGA design.
Edge cases like Raid5/6 which had the write hole issue approximately a decade after btrfs was released. At some point you say "This filesystem has lost so much of my data that I will never return to it."
I'm a week from signing another offer and leaving Microsoft for that reason.
It might be surprising, but it is like the "smaller shops" you described here. The annual increase is only 2-4%, and promotion increase, from any level until a few levels above senior, is only 5% on average. You usually don't get both on the higher side if you get promoted. So if you get promoted from mid to senior (an excellent employee), you expect to get a 7-8% increase at that year.
It actually made me very depressed to stay here because of that.
The attrition is high (relative to other FAANGMULA) but surprisingly not as high as you would expect.
Many stay because they are too lazy to interview, and most of them start to become lazy workers.
What does the tethered version weigh? My biggest gripe with the Oculus Quest 2 is how heavy it is. If the tethered version of the Simula One is considerably lighter, then I'm interested.
I have a Pixel 3a XL I am seriously considering installing a custom ROM. One question though, how is the camera app? Is it as performant as the one preinstalled?
The most epic of speech is as rare as bug free code by the unpaid intern.
I worked with Hans Reiser before he want off to Russia to found his company in Russia (we were at an EDA company, not on the same project but in the same small group). ReiserFS was very much his vision, the core ideas were his, so the names are appropriate. Most of those other people you mention were once his employees. He was very driven, and at first he struggled to explain his ideas. I didn't want to believe that he killed his wife, though I knew he was very troubled and tended to see people as tools.
If you were guaranteed to sell 100k units, what could you price the standalone at?

> "it is evolving and I cannot be bothered to keep up"

No, I actually teach C++ and have been keeping up with it for decades. It was the second language I learned in 1994 and I still code in it professionally today.

> Give it time, and it will accumulate "incoherence" of its own; the faster it evolves, the faster that happens.

Like I pointed out with Matlab, it’s a much older language compared to c++ yet is mostly coherent, far more than c++. This has less to do about C++’s age and the March of time or the human condition. Otherwise more old languages would be as incoherent as c++ yet that’s not the case.
For a lot of things such as tables, lists, adding links, etc, markdown allows you to do it "inline" while typing, instead of forcing out of band operations.
> we are experiencing problems with our web site, sorry

> we are working to settle it correctly ASAP !

Probably
I am probably not going to change your mind. But I think some stuff you should consider are:

Is the volatility an inherent problem built into the code and design of bitcoin et al? Or does the volatility stem from external factors like it being new, difficult to value, and much lower market cap then other currencies? I personally believe that bitcoin's volatility is not by design and will not last forever.

Secondly, you should rethink whether comparing bitcoin to fiat is correct (I would suggest gold) and rethink if bitcoin really is deflationary. Bitcoin has a lot of similarities to Gold. Check out this report: https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/bin-public/060_www_fid...

There is nothing in bitcoin's code that makes it deflationary. The reward for mining bitcoin does decrease over time, but never does the supply decrease - it only grows or eventually stops growing at 21 million

> I'll be that guy and point out that "Unique" is interesting because it falls in the same category of words as forever, infinite, dead, and pregnant, adjectives which do not take comparative qualifiers because they describe Boolean states.

In common contexts "unique" just means "unusual." It's like how "theory" can just mean "hypothesis" in normal discussion, but in strictly scientific contexts it only applies to explanations that are supported by a large body of evidence. So if one is in a rare context that is sensitive to the strict boolean definition of "unique," then you are correct. All other times (i.e., most of the time) you are incorrect.

When it comes to language, the most common usage is the correct usage. This may occasionally annoy us (see: "literally", "begging the question", etc.), but the fact is that languages are fluid and evolving, and there was no moment in history when the English language was frozen and declared perfect. Language is inherently democratic, and sometimes one is outvoted.

Granted, it's fine to try to realign the language to match your preferences, but more often than not this is a fool's errand.
That is not what I asked though. Every experience is subjective. I’m asking how they envision this being a good business model.
Every bootcamp grad who can whip up a database backed web app can build a note-taking application that covers the major features. There is literally no defensible moat here and the incumbent is giving away theirs for free. What feature will you compete on? There are limits to how much innovation you can add to “storing rich text in the cloud”.
>I see how much money goes to American companies like Tesla meanwhile European companies like Mercedes-Benz get less investment and no media attention at all, even when they outperform their American counterparts.

That's not really because of American vs European, it's because traditional automaker vs EV disruptor. Tesla has a bigger market cap than all of the "big 3" US automakers combined.
This blew my mind. The bug is actually the main intended behaviour.
Go is at about the same abstraction level as Java, maybe a fraction slower due to lack of runtime VM optimisations.
The local radio news. It takes 3 minutes or so a day and is followed by the weather, which ends up mattering a lot more than most news do for me.

I don't want to aggregate news, because that would just give me ten wrong perspectives on a subject I don't care about and/or upset me for no reason.

Really I just want to know that nothing terrible and relevant has happened, so my ideal news source would just be empty 99.99% of the time.
> To me, I don't find Jq at all intuitive.

Same here. Intuitive is probably the wrong word. I think I'm still looking for the right word to use to describe the idea. I think there was some progress from a fb team that translated english language queries into sql.

I hope there is more progress in the field so that the same people who write the content can search it and use it like a dev would. I think that given a stack of 5K blog posts, any dev can pump out a dozen charts and word graphs or whatever given some time, and it would all look pretty good but probably not have as much value as an editor's summary. But if the editor could also make use of the dev tooling to do more in depth research or produce some new insights, or get to the "important" information more quickly, than that would represent a step in the right direction.
If Russia exports oil to Europe, then Russia has leverage over Europe (we will stop exporting to you). But Europe also has leverage over Russia (we will stop buying from you). Europe just has to be willing & able to use that leverage. Which it probably isn't, since it requires cooperation among several democratic countries.

If Russia exports all its oil/gas to China, then neither Europe nor Russia has leverage over the other. But Russia must be leery of tying its fortunes to China, since China is much bigger economically, not scared of Russia's military, and as an autocratic regime able & willing to use that leverage.

Geopolitique...wheels within wheels...
> The fact that you can consider the 1950s in the US a "nightmarish historical moment" is nonsensical

Well, you can go upthread and read about the lynching of Emmet Till, or familiarize yourself with any of the many ways in which the Jim Crow laws were formally and informally enforced. You can look at the photograph of Emmet Till, even, before or after he was lynched.

Maybe you have thicker skin than I, but I think living in a community where you could be brutally killed for any or no reason, and knowing that your killers would not be convicted, is a nightmare.
I remember reading about this on SA a long time ago, but never really followed up on it. It wasn't until I saw the Down the Rabbit Hole video years later that I realized how tragic this guy's life was. It's sad, but I would be lying if I said I didn't get some amusement reading his hypothesis.
Isn't a high false positivity rate favorable to revenge porn being uploaded? Shouldn't it be on the uploader to prove that a scene depicting sex is legally filmed rather than assuming that it is?
Windows Vista included WAV files with the OS that contained MP3 audio :)

I don't know if newer versions still do that. I'd be a little surprised if they don't, given the previous version.
Yes. This has happened before when the conservative prime minister, Stephen Harper, asked the governor general to prorogue parliament and block a coalition government from forming:

> These sudden joys have sudden endings. They burn up in victory like fire and gunpowder. When they meet, as in a kiss, they explode. Too much honey is delicious, but it makes you sick to your stomach. Therefore, love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.
Unlikely implies non zero risk.

Additionally, you’re making the fair strong assumption that the state has to expend more than a nominal amount of resources to crush you, when is it becoming easier and easier to do so without significant effort.
Is it though?

The article specifically talks about people's lives being ruined by sites like this.

Plenty of feminists are anti-porn, and are not right wing nor "puritan" in the least.
Yes. I file by hand every year using Free Fillable Forms.

What makes writing more readable [for people with learning disabilities or ESL]?

These strategies make writing less readable for the rest of us. The example paragraphs are clunky, and meaning gets lost.
>but many of them are simplifications that lose depth and nuance.

They reminded me of Hemingway's simple, declarative style. I know some people like it, but I always found it somewhat lacking for creating a sense of emotional connection to the characters.
>If you’re getting your bang for buck on it as a consumer (and I know I am), then moral arguments are useless. As with all things the market makes the ultimate decisions, not the individual.

Don;t take legal advice from someone online who cannot even spell correctly. I am not your lawyer. I will never be your lawyer.

Back when I practiced I had several clients come to me with the same story: My daughter is at home crying because she got drunk at a party and now there is a topless photo of her on facebook/youtube/email etc. We had the image taken down but it keeps popping back up in reverse-image searches. To these clients I offer two scenarios:

(1) Pamela Anderson's approach: Sue the internet. Bring lawsuits against every platform where you find the picture. Everyone in town will hear about this. It might make the news. You daughter will probably change schools. She will likely have to testify or record a statement describing the impact the sharing of these images have had on her. She will need to talk to the police at least once, perhaps many times.
For the next several years her life will be interrupted by this issue again and again. It will define her life as a teenager.

(2) The "what's best for my daughter" approach: Only go after those incidents where her name is attached. I, your lawyer, send a note to the platform and they remove the image. If necessary we get the boy who took the picture to sign over copyright and I get the image added to the platform content management engines. It might be uploaded again it but won't be associated with your daughter's name. Your daughter never has to involve herself with this again. Unless she is trolling deep in amateur porn forums she will likely never see the image. It will be lost into the constant churn of a thousand other images uploaded every day. Net result: It will not define her life.

(Yes, this might well be an illegal image of an underage person, but enforcing that law isn't the responsibility of the victim or her family. Once it is reported to authorities the victim is under no obligation to hunt down copies all over the internet.)
Battery tenders are great things to have if you don't drive often enough to make up for natural discharging. Especially so if you're in a very cold climate.
Heavily editorialized title - for "EU to..." to be accurate it would have to be much further along the legislative process. This is at a draft report stage, not even voted on in committee yet.
What's weird is I don't see any anti-crypto comments except in reply to your anti-anti thoughts. The arguments you're stating seem mostly straw-men to me.

Some people get very very excited about crypto and kind of overly sensitive to discourse. I think some of that is early-adopter fervor.

Some of it, too, could be the understanding that the more adoption it gets the better the party is. The higher coin-caps go, the more respect, legitimacy and outside resources they command.

Take stocks on the other hand. If you tell me the stocks I'm buying are worthless-- that's good for me! It means you're not buying and driving the prices up when I buy and better prices when the businesses repurchase shares. So maybe that's partly why I don't care when people disparage stock ownership.

Point is, sometimes I wish labels like "pro-" or "anti-" crypto fell out of use-- it's a complex topic and most thoughtful people have more nuanced views.
This is the kind of thing the App Store review process should be flagging.
I remember one of the early "selling points" of nginx was it didn't traverse the directory tree for a .htaccess file to dynamically load config from, for each request, when that was specifically a "selling point" of Apache, which is very useful for shared hosting contexts when users don't have access to change the webserver config.
xfs dynamically allocates inode storage space. A very typical failure scenario of ext4 is to run out of inode quota while there are plenty of free blocks available. This scenario is not possible with xfs. This alone makes it more dependable than ext4 in practice.

There used to be major performance variances where xfs was better in certain workloads and ext4 in others, but those appear to have been smoothed out and now their performance seems very similar across all workloads.
For nvidia, in the datacenter, they made all the features of most cards a service you can't buy, and it paid off big for them.
