They are related. Latin, Sanskrit, Russian, English, Greek, German, Persian, Bengali, etc are all descended from Proto-Indo-European. Knowing one is not any better than knowing any other in terms of awareness of meanings in other Indo-European languages.
Yeah I remember that. At the time, the web browsers were starting to aggressively throttle javascript on background tabs so badly behaved tabs wouldn't impact performance. But the throttling behaviour didn't work for flash. And flash banner ads were popular for some ridiculous reason.

I watch CPU usage closely, and for awhile there most of the time my CPU got pegged was because some random flash banner ("Click the monkey" crap) went out of control and started busy-looping in a background tab. I'd often came back to my computer to discover some random tab I had open was melting my computer. I hated flash for that.

But there was an easy solution. Pretty soon after that I installed a click-to-play flash extension; and the problem went away overnight. About 90% of the flash content my browser ever loaded was advertising, so it was like a lightweight ad blocker for the worst ads. Pretty soon Chrome built that behaviour into their web browser. And that was the beginning of the end for flash.

Steve Jobs did finish flash off when he blocked it on the iphone. But that didn't come out of nowhere. He first challenged Adobe to make Flash perform well on mobile devices. But Adobe couldn't meet his challenge. Flash never worked well enough on the low power smartphones of the day. People can blame Steve Jobs all they like, but flash would still be alive and well if Adobe had been able to ship a performant browser extension when it counted.

But they didn't. And now their product is dead. I pity the creators who made flash professionally, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for Adobe.
As a mechanic in a previous career, I can verify that.

Also for a beginner, WebGL is far more accessible. I'm just getting into it myself, and started with WebGPU. Bad idea lol.

Superior Employee Engagement Through Radical Team Autonomy
Companies compete for resources. When there is more money out there (low interest rates from the Fed) companies will be able and willing to pay more for resources. When that happens it becomes more expensive to create products which lowers margins. Companies need to keep margins at a certain level (effort is related to … is the profit worth it to run this business?) prices need to go up to keep those margins.

Commodity and base resources go up—>retail prices go up

Very simplified explanation.
I recently ported a ~9-year-old game from Flash/AS3 to Haxe. It was an amazing experience, plus I got it to run on all kinds of crazy platforms and added a bunch of new features.

I'd advise anyone wanting to scratch the Flash itch to see if it is a feasible thing. Won't be straightforward for all applications, but I found it almost cathartic.

Haxe is a gem of a hidden language. It's just too bad the community isn't gigantic and the tooling support (IDE) is rather lackluster. I've become quite fond of it (especially after working with it nonstop for months in my free time). I recommend everyone check it out!
You can choose not to have "Western values" imposed on you.

Don't use the products whose creators' values you don't agree with.

It's even easier in software with its widespread and thriving open source ecosystem.

Yet you don't seem to promote that. Instead, you seem to promote the idea that people who want stuff should be able to impose THEIR values on the creators of that stuff.
You can't accidentally leave a field of a struct uninitialized in Rust or in other sane languages.
Many of the people you meet in cloud services today at places like IBM, Dell, HP etc, are "old hippies" from that internet 1.0 era. Or even earlier from the Unix golden age of SG and Sun workstations. Mostly drifting into sales / pm roles. Although everyone remembers things differently. That institutional grounding of having to build internet services from fiber up really puts things in perspective for how easy it is to spin up a cluster ;)
If there is one thing this war has taught me, it's that any action, at any time, and for any reason, can be interpreted by anyone, as an act of war. Putin has a black belt in this kind of rhetoric. Russian assets, including boats, are being seized all over the world right now. The potential difference here is that the order will apply to international waters. The US never signed UNCLOS, so it wouldn't be breaking any treaties with Russia.

However it would put at risk merchant fleets all over the world through reprisal, and I think the rest of the world has a lot more to lose in this game than Russia. For this reason, I do not think this will be ratified.
It's pure propaganda by now.

Even journalists of RT in the West decided to quit their job ( publicly announced through Twitter), because it went insane.

I don't at all mean to say he is wrong about performance. Casey is brilliant, his approach to writing software is optimal or near optimal when viewed through the lens of performance.

And yet this is not the only lens through which to view software development. Correctness, expressiveness, portability, developer hours. There are many possible things to optimize for, and Casey barely gives these an ounce of weight compared to performance. The reason to target a program towards a platform with an operating system and a file system is because writing these things takes time, using them affords flexibility, and minimizes bugs from you're bespoke code. Casey does not view these as problems.

Casey writes near-C for bare metal, or when not using bare metal directly against the platform API and if you only learned from him that's the only approach you would view as valid. When talking about his approach to writing code he constantly derides, sometimes very harshly, those who would think about program architecture any other way.

I don't think the Rustacean evangelists' obsession with memory safety is the last word is software development, or Linus's assessment of languages other than C, or Jonathon Blow's and Casey's orientation with performance above all else. These are ideas, opinions, and there's some value in representing them as such.
Yes, it would have. Some code creates an instance of some struct, but doesn’t set the flags field to zero. It thus keeps whatever value happened to be in that spot in memory, an essentially random set of bits. Rust would force you to either explicitly name the flags field and give it a value, or use `..Default::default()` to initialize all remaining fields automatically. Anything else would be a compile–time error.

The offending commit was authored by Christoph Hellwig and possibly reviewed by Al Viro both of whom combined are close to 100% of Linux filesystems and VFS knowledge. Point being with the level of complexity you're just going to live the fact that they'll always be bugs.

VFS/Page Cache/FS layers represent incredible complexity and cross dependencies - but the good news is code is very mature by now and should not see changes like this too often.
It's not a bad system, per se, but is a poorly documented system.

There should be a note on American menus that says "We underpay our staff, so 15-20% tipping is expected." And European menus should read "We compensate our staff sufficiently, so tipping is not expected."

In reality, both of these are never written out, and everyone is expected to learn them culturally. Which ultimately leaves tourists in an awkward spot.
Ukraine was the same last time I checked. Which, admittedly, was 2006 when I bought cracked software on an Odessa book & CD market (lots of small vendor stalls, a permanent market). I've been to both Russia and Ukraine a few times since but that was the only time I needed software (temporarily, only while I was there, relax guys - back then I had a paid license for the entire Adobe Suite back in the office at home).

The illegal software actually came with pretty good support and money-back guarantee, and it wasn't just en empty promise.

So, this phenomenon is not limited to Russia and in the specific current context, unless things in Ukraine have changed(?), they both do it.

Am not an expert but... that doesn't show loudness difference to me. That shows dynamic range difference to me (even the Youtube description says they actually normalized the volume). I can hear the difference between the two version and how distorted the retail version is compared to the more clean sound of the GH3 version but it's not simply up to loudness.

Honestly maybe loudness war is a wrong term? Should be dynamic range war or compression war.
> if staff receives no tips: the restaurant is required to pay them minimum wage

> Tl;dr - restaurant workers make over minimum wage only if tipped

Your tl;dr doesn't match. According to you workers make minimum wage irrespective of whether you tip (unless the owner breaks the law), and all your tips do is directly offset owner costs.
Funny how that is always used as a counter-argument when nobody gave a shit about light-bulb efficiency until three decades ago. Like, I'm sure it's technically true. I highly doubt this was in any way a motivation back in the day, especially since light bulbs, as inefficient as they are, were still much better than the candles and gaslight that preceded them.

There is a difference between a conspiracy theory and a well-documented conspiracy. The things the Phoebus Cartel did falls squarely into the latter, including the planned obsolescence.

I'm afraid this may be out of date. Lee Camp said Saturday on Unauthorized Disclosure [0] that RT America was done. [EDIT:] I suppose that is a different entity from RT itself. So, it seems the synchronized censorship (DirectTV, Roku, Spotify, YT Europe) has achieved its real aim, of silencing American critics of capitalism, imperialism, and war. That the mouthpiece of a different imperialist regime remains available is a trivial matter.

With Git everyone has their own personal repository on their machine. Like you could “break away” and be “the central repo and people could start syncing from you. So like remember it’s all “self contained repos” you’re just syncing changes from “somewhere upstream”

Make sure you’re merging changes from your upstream regularly.

When two people change the same area of code, you get a merge conflict.

So sync often and merge often. Don’t wait until you’re ready to push to merge upstream or you’re gonna have a bad time.
I’m curious how git bisect was applied here. Wouldn’t you have to compile the whole kernel somehow and then run your test program using that kernel? Is that really what was done here?
In recent years, no. Everyone was afraid of huge fines (and maybe even jail terms, if memory serves) for pirated software, and there was a time when police actively searched office computers for pirated software from major suppliers that had branches in Russia (Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk etc).

Torrents, on the other hand, is an entirely different story.
Yes it would. That is implied because writing arbitrary files means you can also edit the permission systems
> Plus intense sunlight carries the risk of cancer.

Not the whole truth. Broad spectrum sun exposure is correlated with a decreased risk of death from melanoma. The presence of solar elastosis (basically sun damaged skin) was associated with a 60% lower hazard ratio for death from melanoma, with a 0.009 P value in a 5 year study of 500+ women: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15687362/ (cited almost 300 times)

On the flip side, avoiding sun exposure was found to double (!) the risk of all cause mortality in a 20 year (!) Swedish study of 29k people (!): https://doi.org/10.1111/joim.12251

Categorizing people from lowest to highest sun avoidance behavior (self reported), those who sought out sun exposure the most (sunbathing throughout the year) had a statistically significant 40-50% lower hazard ratio for all cause mortality.

I will still use sunscreen, but given that we evolved to be diurnal on a planet orbiting a sun, I would be more worried about not getting enough sun than getting too much sun.

You're sort of building this up as the idea of the US forcing its norms and laws on others, but that isn't what this is. The merits of protecting IP exist whether or not they are prevalent in any country.

When participating in a global economy, other participants expect fair dealing. What do you think will happen now with Russia? We'll assume they are going to try to steal our tech. Instead of trading with them, we won't do business with them at all whenever possible. We learned this the hard way with China. And their internal incentives to create IP also disappear - who would want to spend time building an app in Russia when the guy next door is now allowed to steal it and sell it as its own? Nobody.

You're going to see much more draconian DRM. User experience will suffer. Less tech will be created. People will avoid doing business with Russia (and we already see that happening, and it was already true to an extent before they started murdering Ukrainians). And Russia's economy will continue to fail.

> Of course it's analogous to theft, because someone very literally ends up with less money in their pocket.

I don't think this analogy works very well here. What if the alternative is that the potential buyer would just never have purchased the product in the first place? Then there is simply no exchange that would have occurred, and the seller's "money in their pocket" was never going to be any different in this case.

To think about this analogy some more...Is it theft if one walks into a store, sees something interesting that they remember for their own benefit later, but they choose not to make any purchases? Does that deprive the shopowner of income in some way that the potential buyer should be made responsible for?

This isn't to argue that copying software (or music, or movies, and so on) is universally good or bad here, just that the theft analogy really has some serious problems with it.
I absolutely would! But hen I'm one of the few people that never really considered Afghan or Iraqi resistance against US and / or NATO forces to be "evil".

> require all fields to be initialized any time an object is created

I'm not a fan of such a policy. That usually leads to people zero-initializing everything. For this bug, this would have been correct, but sometimes, there is no good "initial" value, and zero is just another random value like all the 2^32-1 others.

Worse, if you zero-initialize everything, valgrind will be unable to find accesses to uninitialized variables, which hides the bug and makes it harder to find. If I have no good initial value for something, I'd rather leave it uninitialized.
From Stewart Brand's The MIT Media Lab: Inventing the Future:

After a dinner of take-out dim sum, Minsky, who had been reading
the Koran with some dismay at its violent inquiry-blunting formulae,
sermonized, “Religion is a teaching machine— a little deadly loop for
putting itself in your mind and keeping it there. The main concern of
a religion is to stop thinking, to suppress doubt. It’s interested in solving
deep problems, not in understanding them. And it’s correct in a sense,
because the problems it deals with don’t have solutions, because they’re
loops. ‘Who made the world?’ ‘God.’ You’re not allowed to ask, ‘Who
made God?’”

“Science feels and acts like a kind of religion a lot of the
time.” Minsky had heard that one before: “Everything is similar if you’re
willing to look that far out of focus. I’d watch that. Then you’ll find that
black is white. Look for differences! You’re looking for similarities again.
That way lies mind rot.” That lively loop has been cycling in my mind
ever since!
