Nitpick, but there are certainly parasitic fungi which do not have a symbiotic relationship with plants. Also only some fungi have a mycorrhizal relationship with plants. Most are saprophytic meaning they decompose dead organic material.

This is of course extremely beneficial and required for a closed ecosystem, but the symbiotic relationship isn't as direct as mycorrhizal fungi and is really part of a much more complex network of soil organisms that all need to be at play. Simply introducing a saprophytic fungi to your soil will probably not result in any benefits to your indoor cannabis garden.
Was it wrong for the Soviets to invade Poland to fight the German Nazis in WWII?

We accept that people have different religious views. Is abortion completely wrong? Is it so difficult to see they have very different world views?
A type of joke but definitely not "merely" a joke. Even that brief explanation says so in the second sentence.
Most of the retention issues is about retirement. The generation of Boomers are retiring or retiring early. Many civil jobs you can retire at age 55 or 20 years of service. So you have a very large generation of boomers hitting retirement age and a much smaller subsequent generations to fill those open positions.
As another commenter pointed out, you literally did not.

In fact, you went so far as to imply that it's constructed and not synesthesia.

As the same commenter pointed out, if multiple people have interpreted your comment in a particular way, regardless of your intentions, then it's maybe time to step back and re-evaluate.
Is this unsigned integer overflow? Isn’t that well defined in C++ as well?

Edit: I didn’t research where the corruption comes from in this bug.

Edit again: it looks like the source file is actually C and not C++.
He did nothing of the sort.

He, as a layman, asked a medical expert about the possibility of some kind of injectable "disinfectant" (not bleach, specifically). While one might characterize that as naive, it's a long, long way from "Trump told people to drink bleach".
As I think about this, maybe it really is a Windows vs Linux thing. On raw read speeds, SSD is only about 2-3x faster than HDD. This is barely noticeable compared to the speed from RAM, or for almost anything you could reasonably launch. (Videos are huge, but those are basically streamed anyway)

But, random access reads of many small files scattered across the disc, obviously SSD will do much better. Sequential reads (large files, non-fragmented filesystem) it's not so clear.

Maybe it's simply that Linux, as well as being better at file caching and not wasting RAM, is also better at not being fragmented. Perhaps I have my OS filesystems to thank for my indifference.

On that front I guess it's also saving me money by allowing me to enjoy ginormous cheap discs :)

This number is a little bit of a guess. It is the number of calls to `<canvas>` divided by the total number of page loads. Obviously some pages are using more than one canvas, hence the large range.

As for fingerprinting, most canvases are 1. not their default size, 2. not 1x1 (like fingerprintjs uses) 3. never call `getImageData`. All these things together point to the idea that these are legitimate uses. Yes, fingerprinting on the web platform is a problem. It's also a problem with canvas. I think it's disingenuous to say "canvas is mostly used for fingerprinting" without ways to support that statement.
The peak of the delta wave was 160k cases/day, and the current case levels are ~52k/day. So given that, you think most areas are having higher case loads than the peak of the delta wave? You just aren't look at the data. There is also strong reason to believe that right after a huge wave is over you can expect a relatively smooth period of time to follow since so many people will have extra immunity from having recovered from covid.

The people making these decisions are not idiots, they can look at the data and make sane and rational predictions about what might happen in the future, and then adapt if necessary.
The east cost for the most part doesn't have these problems or at least not to the same extent (with a couple exceptions for Philly and NYC both of which are nowhere near as bad as cities in CA/OR/WA)

This isn't an American problem. This isn't even a liberal/conservative problem. This is a west coast problem.
I was thinking that but others also mentioned to have a trial mode font that didn’t have a complete character set also. Rendering a picture might become costly.
Turns out it's even simpler, actually! There's "Desktop" and "Gaming" modes. Standard KDE Plasma and flatpak. They're really letting people shoot themselves in the foot with this ;)
>Germany is still importing Russian oil

Like the USA

> you're in Germany, tell your government to ban Russian oil. This will hurt Germany.

And Russia would sell to China.
So Germany hurts itself and Russia doesn't care
Fords electric cars have gotten very good reviews. I've driven the Chevy electric cars, and feel they'd be pretty popular among hacker news types. It's a normal car that happens to be electric, bringing all the advantages motors bring(silent, incredible torque), without feeling like the half baked feel Tesla can have.

That was something that caught my eye in the picture, it seems to have an endless number of tires on the ground.
https://bookwyrm.social/ is a project to basically make a group of decentralised book-based social media sites, a little like Goodreads (but on the Fediverse). Something being made available over ActivityPub isn't a copyright license to use it, but you could contact individual people and ask to be able to use their reviews, if that's something you wanted to do. (There's probably some degree of “permission by default” that you get, but as I'm not a copyright lawyer I tend to play it safe.)
If Putin can be tamed without a war between Russia and NATO depends to a large degree on Putin now.

EDIT: I had this discusion a couple of times now, consensus: As long as invoices are paid, transportation is avaialable, neither party (customer, supplier, banks,...) nor product are on a sanctions list or under embargo you continue to respect your existing contracts and obligations and continue business. Things like oil and gas have been excluded from any snactions (last I know, things are changing incredibly fast...).
How often do you get cold emails?

I was told that I received several thousand per day when I worked for a startup that evolved into a big corporation. It did not help that my email was in the ARIN/RIPE contact fields for our address space. I never saw them because ProofPoint and O365 rules quarantined all of them.

What's your public job title if you do?

I was a bit of everything in engineering and operations when we started. As we evolved I had a few different titles. I don't actually remember them.

How often do you ignore them

If I were ever to have seen them I would have ignored them. If the business had a need for something I would research vendors, who backs them, their history and then decide which ones to contact and start negotiating proof of concept hardware or PoC account creation to try out the service.
"Protests" in Minneapolis damaged 1,500 property locations, destroyed 100 property locations, and caused $500 million in total damage. 150 buildings were set on fire.

I'd say the surveillance is warranted.

That's a neat one! Never knew about it
Most homeless people in America are people who has some form of mental illness or have suffered from some traumatic event. In any case just giving them a home won't help much, those homes would quickly become drug dens.

A better solution is to provide them with shelter, community, mental help, education, and generally good care. This is actually even harder to do than just throwing houses at them.

But there is also merit to giving housing to people who are homeless but not mentally ill. Many European countries do this.
While we also, additionally use the media frenzy to quietly either bury other topics or do implement laws that would otherwise create a big outcry.

Like throwing money at energy companies to keep nuclear power plants running longer while already having thrown money at them for over a decade for closing down these plants.

I am all for becoming more energy independent. But this is just something I can't wrap my mind around.
There are often lots of housing options with strict drug control policies which prohibit many homeless for joining.
But probably the source of a large portion of the antisocial behavior that cities are trying to deal with (e.x. human feces in subway escalators that cause constant breakdowns in the escalators that aren't actually designed to be defecated into).

I'd hate to hear what you think of the way I usually do it. On second thought, no check this out.

It's shorter and easier to type, and just as "clear".

Web3.0 folks are trying their best to change this.
there seems to be an imbalance of reporting about this sort of thing. When state power is used against BLM protests, we get articles about "shadowy surveillance". When state power is used to track down Jan 6 protesters, it's apparently a good thing.
This feels like one of those “you’re a fan of X? Name every Y” memes. If someone has some examples that a reasonable person would write, specifically examples that look like the simplest way to do something, then I’d love to hear them. Negative shifts and infinite loops with counters are just not things you normally encounter.
That was the same reason the US used for the Afghan war. If the people believe that there are bad people killing and Russia is going into Ukraine under similar special operations, would the people think this is a good thing for Russia to be doing?
I'd argue the vast majority of Linux desktop users (already a small group) don't use SELinux. So naturally when trying to help someone using something we don't have experience with and don't find necessary, that advice becomes more prevalent.
The licensing is unclear/vague/contradictory... I'm totally confused what the 'developer' license actually means when it says you can use it for "personal use in professional context, but not commercial." And how is a subscription for a print product handled? Do I have to burn my printed materials if I don't renew a subscription?

Font vendors seem to _love_ coming up with weird snowflake licensing schemes rather than trying to stick with something well understood.
>those homes would quickly become drug dens.

I don't see a problem with that. Sure it's trashy and sure I'd appreciate it if I didn't have to pay for it but a) the alternative is drugs on the sidewalk b) who am I to tell others how to live?
as a Bulgarian and Russian speaker, I find Interslavic easier to understand. Slovio has some stuff that takes me a bit longer to process.

I have always enjoyed the closeness of Slavic languages. I don't know a lick of Polish, but I can read and understand maybe 70-80% of a polish paragraph. same for a lot of Slavic languages.
Pretty strong accusation, are you sure re-data isn't "inspired" from Monte Carlo? :)

SWIFT will disconnect in 12th of March banks from sanction list.

Not "any Russian bank".
Of course it's possible that in future all Russian banks will be under sanctions.

Right now even bank transfers between Russia and Ukraine works fine. My ex-girlfriend still has a way to support her parents in Kyiv.

If you meant possibility of total blockade: it's probable.

Zelensky campaigns exactly for that.

At least his ideas more realistic than Macron voiced: to block bitcoins in Russia.
Saddam had already matched that scale of destruction in the Iraq-Iran war, which killed many times more people. That fact doesn't exonerate the USA (which supported Iraq at the time!) or justify the 2003 war, but the human cost of his reign wasn't small, and given his subsequent invasion of Kuwait there was very little reason to expect he was done with invading and occupying people.

Although I agree that weapons support could have been done earlier, you must concede that the western response has been an order of magnitude larger than what happened in 2014. A simple look at the value of the Ruble can confirm this.

>Getting the feeling you're being actively stalked by a sentient creature is legitimately terrifying, and it's the first time I've felt scared by the intelligence of a game's AI.

I've heard that the easier difficulty is scarier, because the alien appears less often so when it does it's more terrifying.
I've seen projects posted here that render your code as a screenshot for posting online or something. (??) That always seemed silly to me.

The author might want to review things that happened in the US immediately after 9/11. Action, yes, but in almost every case exactly the wrong actions were agreed to in short order and executed. Both parties, united as one. Just look at all the unity! Maybe out of this tragedy will emerge a new sense of cooperation.

We're still paying the price for that fever-induced debacle.

For me it's spine-tingling.
The most interesting part is that Switzerland gave up its neutrality, something they didn't even do in World War II.
You might be interested in futurefonts.xyz. Kind of like Kickstarter for fonts. You pay for typefaces in development. Price goes up as more features and components get added but you get everything that’s included when you buy it and then everything that’s added afterward for no additional cost.
Congrats on the launch! As a former data scientist, I suffered from bad data on a daily basis. Can you provide some details on how anomalies are detected? Is it some kind of threshold-based approach defined by the user or are you running statistical analysis on user's data? Curious to learn more!
For me the same, I'm using a GTX1060 with Ubuntu LTS for over 3 years now without any issues, ever. I mostly attribute this to using the Ubuntu and the LTS version of it - it is probably one of the only few desktop distros nvidia tests/optimizes for as part of their QA.

However, during my time at Uni I maintained over the course of a couple of month a patchset against a kernelmodule for my research, and I remember what a mess it was. Slightest kernel updates broke it, and even supporting just 1-2 distros we used in our lab was very time consuming. Even after I left I got a couple of mails from researchers whether I could assist getting it to build on newer versions of the kernel. And even though I had a fraction of funcitonality compared to what NVidia provides, I absolutely understand how difficult it is to maintain a non-upstreams patchset over time - so I definetely believe all bad I hear about nvidia on various distros/setup is 100% true. It is just NVidias fault not to go the AMD route and at least try to get as much as possible upstreamed and open source.

On a sidenote, the only reason I went with NVidia was that at the time due to crypto-hype, a competetive AMD card was 50-70% more expensive (in retail, not the manufacturer suggested price). I'd definitely would go AMD next time.
Not FAANG, but GitHub explicitly allows employees to work on side-projects while retaining the IP rights, and you get paid Microsoft stock.
healthcare/housing/transportation are good for economic growth and "capitalists."

the issue is more that the landowner/rentier class are still the most politically vocal, and anything that upsets the status quo for them gets an insane amount of pushback.
President Biden has been sounding the alarm for a month, "Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine". Literally none of the EU nor NATO members did much until they literally started driving the tanks in. Russia was trying to convince the world they were simply doing military exercises near the Russia/Ukraine border and most of the EU actually believed it!

The invasion was a bad, bad, no-good idea, but to add some color to what you're observing, one of the biggest conversations within the US at the turn of the century was whether we should enact foreign policy according to a moral mandate. It was a constant topic of punditry ("Should we be the world's police?") and off the top of my head I can say the movie Airforce One and the tv show Westwing both directly talked about it, and both suggested we should.

Again: bear in mind that the invasion was a bad idea and some Americans at the time said so, but there was also some sense that non-involvement was selfish or immoral. There was much less understanding that the pain it would inflict could so far exceed the intended benefits. We have - I hope - now internalized as a country how wrong that viewpoint is.
A font snob wouldn’t ask this question :)

But I’m glad you asked. Learn about how font characters are structured[0]. Then zoom in, inspect and compare the details of a few characters from both fonts. This will help you understand how they’re different.

Too many. I review them in batches every 1-2 weeks. It would be an extremely rare case that I reply. But my accounts have had decades of time and I own a business. Maybe you have better luck with new graduates who want to kit out their new jobs.

The cold emails from locals have been my favorites though, for sheer variety of scope. One local guy said he was retiring as an engineer and looking for $35/hr. contract work having to do with databases. He sent me a list of everything he thought sucked about my website.

Another local person said they couldn't find any other places to pitch to because my local SEO was too good (it's not that great, but it is a rural area).

Good luck in your work, I used to do sales support many years ago and it seemed like one could get really involved in the technique side for effective leverage.
There are a few cloth masks in this data set showing around 50% filtration of test particles smaller than Sars-Cov-2:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M0mdNLpTWEGcluK6hh5L...

N95s and similar are obviously better but cloth masks do ok. Also remember they changed guidance to recommend cloth+surgical masks, which everyone laughed at. Lo and behold that combination tests in the 80% filtration range.

So cloth masks work, the guidance for double masking was valid, and the N95 recommendations more valid still.
Okay, so 80ms of light speed travel, or about 120ms assuming today's fiber optic medium, so that only leaves maybe 30ms of potential improvement. Sounds very believable, thanks!
if the game itself runs via a decentralized computational model then there’s no need to appeal to authority to honor the ownership. The game itself, just like the skin, would exist on the p2p network.

We are of course very far from that happening, or knowing if it can happen, but it’s still a possibility to consider
The alternative _is_ no card. Even 5 year old cards are twice the MSRP if you can get them.
Why can't you implement malloc() in ISO C?

Or do you mean you can't write your own malloc that complies with the OS's memory management in C?

Because I'm pretty sure you can write a malloc in ISO C when you aren't dealing with an OS (which is usually when you need to write a malloc).
> Mr Malpass said the economic impact of the war stretches beyond Ukraine's borders, and the rises in global energy prices in particular "hit the poor the most, as does inflation".

Food prices have also been pushed up by the war, and "are a very real consideration and problem for people in poor countries".

So effectively it already is WW III, with perhaps the worldwide economic fallout to far exceed the damage to the two countries involved.

The irony is, we were promised that a global economy would all but guarantee peace. Until it doesn't and then the shit hits the fan.

It must be nice to be one of the elites.
I’m using the fully specced M1 Pro Max with the laptop screen, 6k Pro Display XDR connected directly and 2x4k Dell monitors connected via the Caldigit thunderbolt hub (HDMI). It’s working great, haven’t had any major issues, the newest M1 MacBooks are quite impressive.

Apple’s default screen management tooling is awful though so I can highly recommend SwitchResX for that.

Also have a TB4 dock from Sonnettech (3 TB4 inputs / one output), to which I have a 10Gb/s qnap tb3 adapter plugged in. (The qnap works great btw if you are on the lookout for 10Gb/s networking for your MacBook. Make sure to get the sfp+ and not the ethernet version)

They might be reliable, but with reliably poor performance. A battery-powered EV relies on chemical reactions and all chemical reactions are sensitive to temperature. Hot or cold, it will always be an issue for everyone beyond socal.
The advice to start the cars heater while it’s still plugged in is very good advice!
Assuming a single character has something in the order of 100 possible values (I.e. a US English keyboard, no Unicode etc.) then a 12 character random password would take about 11.5 days to crack if you had a billion machines that could each crack a billion passwords a second.

Assuming NTLM hashes you can currently crack almost 100 billion hashes per second on a single AWS p3.16xlarge that costs $25/hour to run (https://www.thesecurityfactory.be/password-cracking-speed/)

I.e. you’d need 10 million hours of these machines to try every combination possible, with an average time to crack of 5 million hours. I.e. a total cost of $125 million, although I bet you could negotiate a pretty good AWS discount and/ or build the servers yourself and optimize them for cracking, so let’s call it around $50 million to crack a truly random 12-ASCII character password today.

Assuming Moore’s law improvements and improvements in energy costs/ efficiency and we can reasonably assume this cost could roughly halve every 18 months, to under $1 million in a decade. That’s not a lot of money to a nation state actor, so if you’re in a position where you seriously worry about active attacks against you specifically, perhaps using passwords that are longer than 12 characters is worthwhile.
