It is one of the basic tenets of Buddhism† that humans are constantly deluding themselves and doing self-defeating things. In modern terms, you could say they are all mentally ill. This is asserted of humans in general, not just those who meditate a lot.

It's unnecessarily mean if it's not true or, arguably, if there's nothing they can do about it. But if it's true and there's something they can do about it, then not saying it is being unnecessarily mean.

The Buddhist prescription for how to get better (from common garden-variety self-delusion, not schizophrenia) is called the Noble Eightfold Path, and a large dose of meditation occupies an important place in it. Other important ingredients traditionally include material renunciation, strict nonviolence, celibacy, abstinence from alcohol, honesty, politeness, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path

It wasn't the speed of light, it was the size of atoms that was the issue here. As old-style scaling (the kind used up until about 2003) continued, leakage power was increasing rapidly because charge carriers (electrons / holes) would tunnel through gates (I'm simplifying a bit here, other bad effects were also a factor). It was no longer possible to keep increasing clock frequency while scaling down feature size. Further reduction without exploding the power requirement meant that the clock frequency had to be left the same and transistors needed to change shape.
Well that's why I said "or". I'm honestly not sure, I never tried to play them while not having a subscription. The subscription at 20€/year is much cheaper than what Microsoft or Playstation are offering though.

Edit: I looked it up, it requires the subscription and updated my comment accordingly.
Nobody claims that most private schools are set up to cater to gifted kids: What you get is a whole lot of different schools, catering to different backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses, some of which will cater mostly to gifted kids.

This is easy to see in metro areas with a balkanized public education system, like Saint Louis. Your typical child has access to one public school, which could be quite good, or horrible, depending on where it is: The better the school, the more expensive it is to get a house that can sends kids to it. If you don't want to move for your favorite school, you go into one of hundreds of private schools. The differences amongst them are so wide, locals ask others where they went to high school as a shortcut to get a lot of information about them. On the gifted end, you will find private schools where less than 15% of the class is stuck "only" at grade level in math, and that's probably because they are way ahead somewhere else. Those schools tend to be so interested in high performers that there's a great chance there's quite a bit of financial aid for those with blue collar parents.

So yes, most private schools are definitely not better: Hell, I'd argue that in a city like this, most private schools are worse academically. But when there are enough private schools, self-assortment surrounds kids with others that are more like them, whether it's athletic focus, qualifying as gifted, following Christian Science, or making sure most girls are rich enough to own horses. Whether this is good or bad for the city is a different story, but I suspect the gifted kids come out ahead.

And yes, all of this will only happen in large enough metros with enough children. A gifted child in a small town is probably served more or less equally badly by public and private schools.
Yes, you can, but only if you are signed into your Apple ID and connected to Wi-Fi. I believe Macs and non-cellular iPads send messages over Wi-Fi to the iMessage servers.
Yeah as an Iranian, I have experience with these sort of decisions and they are discriminatory and an excuse for xenophobia. I never chose where I was born. I left the second I could. Holding me to my birthplace is just as fucked as having a "no Browns allowed" sign.
I think Trump's praises may increase his chances for Putin to accept Trump's proposals. IIRC Trump wrote a book about making deals that's why I believe it.

Besides that I think that Putin made genuinely smart strategical steps to ensure that nobody will get between him and Ukraine... How it will turn out we yet have to see.

Cornering a leader with nuclear capabilities benefits nobody and can get dangerous, leaving him with nothing to lose. I think Trump wanted to use Russia to counter China.

Maybe. The other reason is resources are constrained. We can't fight on every front. People don't tend to like wars, so government has to be careful.
There's an argument to be made that mobile gaming in Asia is what forced Nintendo's hand on the P2W mobile games. I don't (yet) see a world where Steam has the muscle to do this.
We had a room of BBC Micros, a room of RM Nimbuses, and a room of Macs at school (UK). The Macs were evidently the coolest. Pretty much the first thing I did when I got to university was buy a IIsi (funded by the articles I was writing for an 8-bit magazine).
> Discovering that the car you ordered is a pizza is not something you just... abort and undo/ redo. It's: wtf did you do? My age is "pizza", your name is the function "not", your account balance is a database connection. It's ridiculous to say the least and using a tool that makes that > 0% probability is just awful.

Agree, which is why I think the author proposal of just ignoring them (he's using this as an argument to say that runtime type checks are useless, cause they crash the program) makes no sense.

In practice, if the car I ordered is a pizza, I want to know! In production, thanks to unit/integration tests with reasonable coverage, dynamically typed languages will typically exhibit typing errors in very unusual circumstances, typically in branches or combinations that are rarely exercised (otherwise the testing infrastructure would have uncovered the bug), typically much later after the code was written. So, yeah, I don't think any proposal of "just get rid of the checks" deserves to be taken seriously.

But neither do I think your implicit proposal of "just crash everything cause somewhere some very unusual request received the wrong type" makes sense, at least not for large scale reliable software. Just cancel the very unusual request (and recover safely, and make sure to log the very unexpected situation), but don't turn a single request failure into a huge outage.

I think languages should aim to detect these inconsistencies statically, at compile time, as much as feasible. Failing that, they should aim to detect them at "test time". Failing that, at runtime.
Latency is everything.

I believe that sometime around 2010 we peaked on the best software solution for high performance, low-latency processing of business items when working with the style of computer architecture we have today.

I have been building systems using this kind of technique for a few years now and I still fail to wrap my brain around just how fast you can get 1 thread to go if you are able to get out of its way. I caught myself trying to micro-optimize a data import method the other day and made myself to do it the "stupid" way first. Turns out I was definitely wasting my time. Being able to process and put to disk millions of things per second is some kind of superpower.
I don't know why GCC-12 was in the picture, but I hope all of you can understand one thing: python's source code must be compatible with GCC 6. And no so called "Threading [Optional]" features. It is all because CentOS is dead. CentOS has been sold to IBM. There is no CentOS 8 anymore. The free lunch is ended. And there wouldn't be another OSS project to replace it.

Linux kernel developers want to use C11. CPython developers want to use C11. But does your compiler support it? If you were a C++ developer, would you request C++17/C++20 also?

CPython must be aligned with the manylinux project. manylinux build every python minor release from source. Historically manylinux only use CentOS. CentOS has devtoolset, which allows you use the latest GCC in an very old Linux release. Red hat has spent much time on it. Now you can't get it for free because CentOS is dead. So the manylinux community is switching to Ubuntu. Ubuntu can only provide GCC 6 to them. If anycode in CPython is not compatible with GCC6, then manylinux will have to drop ubuntu too. And they don't have any other alternative. As I said, for now Red Hat devtoolset is the only solution. When IBM discontinued the CentOS project, most people do not understand what it means to the OSS community.

(I work for Microsoft. It doesn't stop me to love Linux.)

I actually just commented on this very issue in reply to a tangential question about the direction/orientation of burial [0]. In Islam, burial should be in a shroud and not a coffin specifically so that the body may decompose quickly; this is actually rarely an option due to specific laws and regulations in Western countries, but it’s changing due to ecological interests.

GoG (2008, the wii was 2006) is probably at the forefront of old games that just work on modern hardware, though there is some occasional hiccups. I think the oldest title is from 1980.

I've read a lot of code. Peter Norvig's code operates at a different level to anything else I've ever read.

And he's been doing this a long time. I've read part of the way through "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming" which is from 1991, and uses much the same approach as in the OP, but with Common Lisp.
Code switching originally was a term in linguistics to refer to the same speakers using multiple languages (or multiple registers of the same language, etc.) in a single conversation, which is probably why imbnwa is confused about the application here. In the last few years it's been picked up by the broader social science world to describe people using different modes of speech in different situations, which is how you're using the term--e.g., using a "white" voice, using a "straight" voice, etc.
That's perhaps the saddest part of this ordeal, the Deck struggles to keep framerates consistent in all but the easiest to run games. From what I've seen most games are playable, but there are often stutters and interruptions because of things like shader compilation that seem to make the whole experience quite frustrating.

The other issue is that the manageable framerates only exist when the Deck is throwing everything it's got at the emulator. The advertised battery life of the Deck is shorter to begin with, and the chip constantly running at max power only makes that worse.

I doubt anyone is going to buy a Deck instead of a Switch to run Switch games. Any fan seeing clear footage of game performance should realise that to play Switch games, you should really just get a Switch. By killing the videos, they're giving off the signal that they're afraid of emulators encroaching on their territory, which will only drive Deck sales.
> I'm not sure it really matters, in the end. How often would people want to run PowerPC-era Mac software on modern hardware natively if they could?

It includes much more recent software too. It seems like half the mac games on Steam are 32-bit binaries published before October 2019 that no longer run on modern versions of macOS.

Yeah... SSDs are so much faster than spinning disk it's not even funny.

I literally refuse to run a machine that boots its main OS from spinning disk anymore. The 60 bucks to throw an SSD into it is so incredibly cheap for what you get.

My wife's work gave her a (fairly basic but still fine) thinkpad - except they left the main drive as a fucking 5400rpm hdd. Then acted like assclowns when we repeatedly showed them that the machine is stalling on disk IO, while the rest of the system is doing diddly squat waiting around. I finally got tired of it and we "accidentally" spilled water on it, and somehow just the hdd stopped working (I left out the part where I'd removed it from the laptop first...). Then I just had her expense a new SSD and she no longer hates her work laptop.

Long story short - Storage speeds are incredible compared to what they were when I went to school (when 10k rpm was considered exorbitant)
They just don't care. They're not a public service altruistically serving their users' videos up until the point the law requires them to take it down. They're an ad platform, trying to serve ads and not get sued.

They should just surrender. They don't have a chance it would be a suicidal defense.
Semantics. My point is that they tried something that had never been done before, but needed to be done because cultural and economic effects were subverting students' constitutionally-guaranteed rights to a basic education. And just because socioeconomics/class warfare undid the effects thereof, that doesn't mean these latest approaches should be deemed DOA. Instead they should be debated, hypothesized, and rigorously evaluated... something that is much harder than lobbing cherry-picked data and anecdotes at one another (not what I think we are doing in this exchange, but how I would characterize the intersection of ed reform, parental advocacy, and privilege).

> And when people try to fix this by starting better-run charter and/or magnet schools, these efforts are basically sabotaged by the public education establishment as seen in this very article.

Another opinion... though I respect it. I don't really think there is a difference based on my 12 years of working with and being in proximity to education reform efforts across the U.S. Nonetheless, we can trade sources all day proving[0] or disproving whether or not charters (I can't speak to magnets) are better run or more academically effective or being sabotaged by the establishment. Either way, any conclusion is as anecdotal as this very article, since both systems operate in a distributed manner, and are designed to produce data that protects their political self-interests rather than improving the quality of public education in their respective locales.

Are you measuring that with something like ICMP ping? I think the way to gauge the actual network speed is to look at the all-time minimum RTT on a long-established TCP socket. The Linux kernel maintains this stat for normal TCP connections.

Such a fascinating read, thank you! I'd love to read/see more about those other numbers with unique forms, and also features of the way numbers combine. (like the way you described 7+3 or 9+x), I want a part 2! Thanks again.
Honestly, I understand this, and I don’t.

I know that ensuring interoperability across implementations has always been the key to a healthy web platform. I get that Interop 2022 is not about interoperability with individual sites, or about focusing on one browser. But if you want a web that actually has more than one engine so that interoperability initiatives like this even exist or matter, you need to make sure that you still have users.

The top webcompat issue for the past two years has nothing to do with editing, or viewports, or pointer events. It’s Microsoft Teams not working[0][1]. The Bugzilla ticket has the highest priority, highest severity[2], and it is still broken. For two years.

I’m aware of the irony of Editing API being one of the interop problem areas since it was basically a “try to write down how IE works so all the IE-only sites with text editors can work in other browsers” spec, and now here I am advocating for Mozilla and Apple to basically just go do that again, but when you are in a position of weakness sometimes you have to take the L and be pragmatic instead of bleeding users as you say “well it’s Microsoft’s fault so Microsoft should fix their shitty code”.

It feels so tone-deaf to say that that bug reports from webcompat were used to guide decisions on interop focus and then ignore that 3 of the top 5 issues are voice and video. I mean, I’m sure that they were used, but I don’t know how everyone who is in a good position to fix it seems OK with just ignoring this situation.

I was hoping this was about spacious, softly upholstered, two-person coffins for live people with vampire fetishes to screw in.
I bet it'd be more of a contested thing if there were more environmentalist intellectuals living in the countryside seeking to justify their lifestyles. How far does each population's food travel? How often does the average person in either location travel by plane? What is the lifecycle cost of treating water in a concentrated location versus local wells? What are the positive effects of human activity on the environment in either local?

There are a lot of factors to consider when making that comparison, and if you're going to criticise upstream commentators for handwaving justifications of their own lifestyles, it seems important to consider more the availability of public transit.
What's being described here sounds very analogous to the bitcoin lightning network, as Jack Mallers describes to the IMF here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb-45m9f76I
In what way? Most homeschooled kids that I've met have been painfully unaware of how the world actually works. They're slightly better at trivia because their parents try to surround them with "fun" things that they also like, but they're way worse at understanding advanced concepts. They also tend to be poor at behavioral adaptation.
I do something very similar, but with power-2 numbers (and have done since my childhood, long before I knew what power-2 numbers were).

There's something very rhythmic about counting beats that line up with powers of 2 and I'm able to count things extremely quickly and precisely without even thinking about the numbers I'm counting. When I want to remember how much I've counted, I simply think back at where I am in the rhythm and come up with the results in a strange vibes-ey way I'm not really able to describe (for example, I'll just intuitively 'know' the difference between having counted 32 beats and 64 beats, and then I can use that knowledge to hone in on the precise number I'm at using a sort of mental binary search).

I'm sure someone with more knowledge of musical theory or neurology could provide a better explanation, but it feels like I'm somehow taking advantage of whatever part of the brain keeps track of beats and rhythms in music, then using it to count.

Edit: I just tried this technique while listening to music and, as expected, I completely lost the ability to count in this way. Almost immediately I lost track, before I even hit 16.
They sell the old games, they are not free. All of there games are overpriced and never go on sale, probably because it seems like they only have a handful of games.

I don’t think it’s fair to say valve is late to the party, if anything they are first. There is a distinct difference between consoles games and pc games, the steam deck focuses on bringing pc games to a portable format, that opens the door to an almost endless supply of cheap indie games, as well as the potential for large AAA titles like Assassins Creed. The best part? Unlike Nintendo or PlayStation you don’t have to buy the game again if it’s already in your steam library, outside of Xbox play anywhere it’s the first time players don’t have to repurchase a game in order to play it on a portable device.
I disagree with the "young" part, to the extent that plenty of young people who are not power users understand this tradeoff viscerally just as much as older people do. The main difference I see is that people who are of working age tend to be more willing to pay money/a premium for someone to remove the need to make those choices.
Not every Ukrainian is located in Kyiv. There are Ukrainians living abroad, that have left Ukraine, and have the ability to leave Ukraine.

Why is the standard an imaginary Ukrainian grandmaster currently trapped or engaged in fighting?

Perhaps they should cancel it for everyone because this imaginary person can't make it. After all it is also unfair that people can travel from Germany and the US while the imaginary Ukrainian can't.
These shoulder-murdering single-piece keyboards are a complete nonstarter for me going forward. On laptops, they are a necessary evil; everywhere else, merely an evil.

Unfortunately AFAICT options for much more natural and comfortable split keyboards are still very limited. I've been waiting for my UHK (https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/) for a year now, and it would appear Mistel Barocco MD600 60% keyboards (which I use at work) are no longer available.

Hmm... no, I take that back — https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_det... has a weird-looking new version of the MD600, but I guess the design is identical so functionally should be okay. (6 is still on the wrong side...)
