No, I'm talking about tracking and digital signal generation for the DAC, not the DAC itself.

The two players have 20 years of development apart. First one was a lower cost Sony, and the latter one is an entry level, yet higher end one (Yamaha CD-S300).

On the tracking stability, first one skips if you knock it lightly, and Yamaha doesn't care if you bump into it accidentally. Also, newer electronics can switch much faster, and in turn, creating a clearer eye pattern for DAC to work on [0].

When you used CRW-F1's audio mode, it elongated the pits and lands, so the digital part had more time to switch properly. This created a clearer eye pattern.

A clearer eye pattern allows DAC to create more cleaner signal since it switches and understands the signal much better and allows it to create a more "correct" (or clearer if you pardon the term) analog signal, esp. on higher frequencies.

It's really convenient to pass around pointers to a single GPIO pin on embedded systems that have a special region of memory where each byte corresponds to one pin rather than the usual 8. Atomic access to bits would also be convenient.

I would think about more practical ways to reduce cost fuel consumption. We are still 10-15 years away from practical fusion. We have been, for the last 50 years.

As for Germany, maybe it would make more sense not to hastily shut down nuclear reactors, in favor of coal and gas, or at least until the equivalent capacity of renewable energy is online, if they really cared about the environment?
Your region is already at stake? What's the chance that Putin is interested in "just this one piece of land" and is also willing to escalate to WW3 to get it? If he's truly that dedicated, this is just the beginning. Estonia shares a nice long border with Russia.

How popular do you think Putin will be at home when he announces he's going to full war with NATO? How would he even do that? You think he's going to launch ICBMs?
How? Policies regarding Russia haven't changed. It started in the Schroeder-era.
Yes.

The alternative is to let him repeat 1939.

The lesson learned should be that if you don't stop the thug with force, then he will eventually become strong enough to stop you.
Most top players do beat Carlsen from time to time, especially in blitz/rapid events. Why is this news?
I feel like I'm being way too obvious here, but Al Qaeda is not Afghanistan or Iraq.
This is very simplistic view. People often try to shrug it off as if Putin (or Hitler) "just wanted to grab more land".

I don't really want to change anyone's mind and give a lecture. It's just that world is not as simple as it may seem.
What's wrong with adding metadata to each file and indexing that? I thought this was essentially a solved problem.

Also, the OP solution merely sounds like a slightly altered filesystem. I thought he was going to propose something akin to WinFS, Microsoft's ploy to merge an SQL database with a filesystem, but it turned out to be a dud.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_state#History_and_origi..., "Most theories see the nation state as a 19th-century European phenomenon, facilitated by developments such as state-mandated education, mass literacy and mass media. However, historians[who?] also note the early emergence of a relatively unified state and identity in Portugal and the Dutch Republic."

Humans have been burying their dead for 100,000 years, living in cities for 12000 years, organizing states for 5700 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_Age_state_societies), and organizing nation-states for 200 years. That is, for roughly the first 94000 years of humanity, there were no cities and no states; for the first 6000 years of cities, there were no states; and for the first 5500 years of states, there were no nation-states.

Even today, many people live in non-nation-state countries like the United States, Bolivia, and India.

It's not "natural", it's not "just the way it is", we probably don't benefit from it, and it's probably not even technologically determined.
The root problem is that Russia is afraid.

Russian grand strategy is defensive. Their primary threat is a large-scale invasion. It happened once in the 19th century and at least twice in the 20th century. Maybe three times if you count Russian Civil War.

To counter the threat of a potential invasion, Russia tries to maintain a buffer zone of friends, puppets, and occupied territories. This is a continuous process, as politics change. Today's friends may be tomorrow's enemies, revolutions may overthrow puppets, and the costs of military occupation may prove too high. Russia fights wars and organizes coups to maintain the buffer zone. The rights of their neighbors don't matter to them when national security is at stake.

Russia fears NATO, because NATO has the capability to project power. They fear that NATO could be the next invader. The fact that NATO has no intention of doing so is irrelevant to them, because politics change. It's the military capabilities they are afraid of.

If there is going to be a change, it must come from inside. Russia must stop being afraid and become a member of the international community connected by trade. There was a chance of that in the 80s and 90s, but the chance was lost. Another chance may come after Putin, or the next leader and the next regime could be more of the same.

Central Asia, no (although China is actively making inroads there).

But there's still Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia to consider. These aren't Slavic, but they are of interest to both NATO and Russia. Well, Armenia is pretty firmly aligned with Russia for historical reasons and some semblance of security against Azerbaijan and Turkey. But the other two are already Western-oriented, and Georgia has applied for NATO membership in the past.

As far as Slavic affinity, it's a bit more complicated. For example, Bulgarians are Slavic, and Eastern Orthodox even, but being on the wrong side of WW1 and then WW2 vis a vis Russia/USSR overrides that. OTOH with Ukrainians, many Russians outright deny that they even are a separate nation or ethnicity, and claim that it's just a sub-branch of Russians who speak a dialect of Russian. From that perspective, occupying Ukraine is described as "re-unifying" Russia.

>no reason

Again. Reason is something one has in this mind. You may find no reason where a different person sees one.
What can they realistically do? Send German troops there? It won't happen ever, we both know it. Shutdown Nordstream 2 earlier? It's unlikely to have any effect. Direct supply of weapons into Ukraine? Earlier and preemptive sanctions? None of that will deter Putin, in fact it will probably just encourage him to act faster.

You also have to take into consideration the last 2 times Germany entered a conflict it didn't work out too well for them, so they have all the more reasons to be reserved.
The good thing about fusion is that a lot of problems stem from the size of the surface area as compared to the volume.

Hi, I built supershields.io as an alternative to shields.io.

I've written a blog article about it here: https://supershields.io/blog/1
The reason why the EU can afford social programs is because the USA and NATO provide them with military defense so it doesn't come out of their military budgets. After Ukraine gets invaded they might want to build up their military again.

Because such a system would entail its own drawbacks, such as a larger CPU load or a more fragile disk organization, whilst most people wouldn't really need it.
I wonder if it's the half who have no risk of getting conscripted into implementing that invasion. I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
Or, on the other hand, I've seen companies offering to enter you into gift card drawings to relate your positive experience with them on glassdoor, etc. :eyeroll: To me, glassdoor and the like are similar to Amazon reviews, you can't trust them, but it sometimes feels like the only way to _possibly_ get the information you're seeking.
I also think one should razor sharp focus on delivering customer value to be successful instead of introducing new tech you need to manage.
The YouTube algorithm is the problem. Any feature that was designed to maximise engagement will eventually destroy the product itself. You can only avoid the algorithm if you don’t use the YouTube app.
This reminds me of each time people criticises the European Union for "condemning" something. Big organizations do things step by step. First you talk, then you act. Even Russia prepared a prerecorded pantomime of a discussion before acting. This are the gears moving and is no small thing, it sends a message and prepares for the worse.
Something to create international connections, kind of a network, where people meet and exchange opinions or knowledge, without any border, no matter what nationality. Yeah, that would be great. I would call it "Internet"!
Limbo + some touch of Oberon-2
> Despite history since the end of the cold war (which makes some of Russia's positions somewhat understandable, and the fact that NATO didn't do anything different in Iraq and Afghanistan)

Can you expand on this? I'm entirely unable to understand why Russia after the cold war didn't become like any other European country and aimed to join the EU etc.

>According to most psychologists, humans are inherently social creatures; contact with others isn’t just a want—it’s a need.

People infer "social" to meaning talking, making friends, going to parties, etc, but there are more useful definitions here. The greater social need we have is to be judged and make judgements of others. This behavior evolved into us long before language did.

The modern hermit need not talk to anyone. They simple need to have a presence in some internet community to fill their social cup.
Ukraine gave up its working russian-inherited nuclear warheads. So, no. This is not the same.

Putin is just another authoritarian ruler, a dictator. He will use any excuse he wants to invade; in this case he is using NATO membership and separatist movements.
Good teachers try to teach their students to think. Every teacher understands that for teaching to succeed 2 conditions must be met: 1) the pupil must come to the teacher with a desire to learn, and 2) There must be an exchange of value; the teacher must receive some kind of compensation.
If that helps.
Ah. There are still some AMD64 CPUs out there that don't have cmpxchg16b capability. The Linux developers made the decision to not use cmpxchg16b and continue supporting them. Microsoft made the decision to use cmpxchg16b for Windows 8 and later. There are some libraries which probe on first use and either use cmpxchg16b or use a global lock. That's probably a viable strategy at this point, since CPUs without it are now rare. But I can see the argument against it.

In reality, Russia does have a say over its neighboring countries. So do all superpowers.
OP is stating ideology and an worldview. The one that is seems more and more wrong, the more you read about history. Generations that grew in hard times have more issues and those go away only slowly.

People regularly use this one as argument or to imply inferiority of those they look down at. Therefore, it is 100% alright to not that idiom stand.
I also feel like I'm being obvious here: Al Qaeda was sheltered by Afghanistan during and after the attack on NYC. (I agree that there were essentially no ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq.)

You have to give it to the Finnish people that they have - what should I say - some institutional knowledge when it comes to Russia.

After all they still have around 200 000 Russian troops at their borders. (6 feet under the ground but still very alive in their memories.)

For anyone who isn't aware:

- The Finnish are the ones who said - as Kremlin sent a million poor troops towards them - we are only a small country, were should we bury them all?

- The "Molotov cocktails" started as a Finnish joke about their practical invention to stop Russian vehicles. Russian diplomat Молотов (Molotov) had started the wittiness by telling that their bombing raids were just friendly Russians dropping suppplies.
Ah, I misread it as "just two wars".

The narrative of NATO expansion is a PR meme. It was created by Russians for the 2007 Munich security conference, where Putin made a speech.

NATO is a defensive pact and existing members have always been very hesitant about accepting new members, because it is intended as a cooperation platform between equals and not a substitute for building up own defense force. The initiative to join NATO has always been driven by Eastern European countries seeking to maintain independence and reduce the risk of Russian invasion. Together with EU membership, it's the holy grail of foreign policy.

The referenced Mearsheimer et al are irrelevant. They depict everything as a grand Russia vs USA standoff as if it were a board game, and ignore the delicate histories and current relationships between countries in Europe.

If you are a fan of history, I recommend rejecting grand narratives and reading a general history of every country in Europe. How has Sweden fared in the past 500 years? Why Russians have an inferiority complex with Finns? Why isn't Austria in NATO? The more you read, the more you'll see the complex network of relationships and understand what every country seeks to achieve. To treat all of them as pawns of the US or Russia is unbelivably ignorant. Even countries as small as Iceland have their own foreign policy, and sometimes have a great impact on international relations.
I like the idea, but I think it will not change the world.

Filesystems have already been reduced to storage mechanisms for systems not people.

People just don’t organize files anymore. And that’s a good thing.

Most employees in relativley fresh organizations keep their files in OneDrive and Dropbox. 10..15 folders of random names and good search function that returns recent files on top. The older files just lie there, not botheting anyone because nobody is looking.

Files from other departments are found via links in Mail and Slack search - not as attachments to Email.

People launch Powerpoint (online) and use the recent files menu instead of browsing from the ”C: drive”

To rethink storage ignoring that people don’t store files anymore is futile. It’s nice for organized geeks (like me), but in general file organization is a thing of the past.
In what way did the West not decisively defeat the soviets? Communism died, the Warsaw Pact disbanded, and several former Russian client states joined NATO. The current crisis is a revanchist attempt to revert that defeat.

Cold war is much more likely than hot war, I’d expect.
The future is fungi
It has never been true. The whole thing is a pile of baloney - everything that has happened in Ukraine, from Yanukovich rule to Donetsk takeover by a band of thugs to continued fighting - has been inspired, incited, controlled and instigated by Russia. It didn't "happen" by some magic - it happened because Russia made it happen. And Russia made it happen because it wants Ukraine to be their subject, and failing that - at least it be as miserable, poor and suffering as possible, do demonstrate to Russians - this is what happens when you refuse to submit. Pretending like it's something natural happening, as I said, is baloney.
And yet you have to wonder, on an alternative timeline, what if Ukraine says it won't join NATO and stays under Russia's sphere of influence? It would suck for national pride but maybe under that alternative timeline they won't get invaded now and possibly wouldn't even lose Crimea earlier?

Practically speaking, perhaps you should avoid poking the aggressive neighbor next door, especially when you can't have definitive assurance from the police station three blocks over?
They could have kept the lid down on the situation and prevented the East European nations from inflaming the situation further. They could have offered to veto Ukraine. The new government did not defend German interests and let it become a pawn in great power politics.
Then maybe the save files will be passed down in families as well.

Ask HN: Scope of Putin's War Aims?
For what it’s worth I would hazard to guess that Putins war aims are limited. Reading some respectable analysts who think he intends to conquer the whole country.

Can’t be sure they are wrong but putins flirtations with war were mostly focused on limited war. My guess is the same holds true here and he will declare victory when the ukraine army in the donbas surrenders plus some opportunistic gains elsewhere as the fortunes of the conflict allow.

His peace terms i expect will be very imposing. Perhaps full ukraine air overflight. Or concession of some important road junctures. Or dismissal of small, all of the the ukraine gov cabinet. What is your estimate of this ? If you agree with the above, do you think zelensky would acquiesce to this ?
Putting myself in Russia's shoes for a moment, I understand why they are worried about NATO expanding East. Would be like, Mexico maybe, joining a revamped Warsaw Pact under Russian leadership. NATO, naturally, wouldn't be that thrilled by that prospect. Depending on leadership, war would definitely be on the table. We, as in the West, went to war and invaded sovereign countries for all kinds of reasons since the 90s. Some of those reasons were also completely made up.

All that is water under the bridge so. I think if the "free" West (I mean that non-ironically, just to acknowledge that there are various ways to define freedom, not all of which are compatible with Western views. And that the West usually doesn't have problems ignoring those freedoms when needed (Saudi, China, UAE, Turkey,...)) doesn't act now, we will have to either roll over later against an aggressor or react much harsher then we would have to now. If Putin can redraw the maps now, China will be next to try. Followed by any other large country that has territorial interests against a smaller one.

…or you can just use NewPipe.
You’ve read too many Tom Clancy novels or something. People can declare whatever they want but unless there really is an attack on NATO, no one is talking about Article 5 and in such a circumstance it would be the attack itself and not the citation to a treaty that would be the issue.
Also, a “full scale thermonuclear exchange” isn’t what it used to be. Stockpiles are orders of magnitude smaller than in the past, and many aren’t “thermonuclear” at all, just fission bombs with higher yield and better targeting.
