There are people who can resist this naturally. It’s like people who won’t eat the sugary stuff without having to put any effort. My theory is that this habit relates to available mental energy. When you are in low energy state, you can’t read dense article or do intellectually taxing work and you gravitate towards infinite scroll because it’s the best reward you can get for your available energy. People with high energy seem to be automatically resistant at infinite scroll because reward from other taxing activities is much higher, although delayed. If this view is correct then perhaps the solution is to engage in forced mental excercise just like body excercise to increase strength and endurance at more taxing activities.

Ukraine is absolutely free to choose to join NATO. But NATO should also exercise discretion about who should be allowed to join.
This is true.

In India, from the lowest level of administration- from ward (a few blocks of town/city) councillor and village board members to governor's of states to prime minister and cabinet minister- corruption exists at every level. Every level.

Most people are corrupt.

People are corrupt, too. People regularly lie about income and property to avail government benefits.

In India, if you are not nepotistic, you are perceived badly in society. You will become an outcast and invite anger if you do not abuse Power to help people in your relational vicinity.

I know many people who seek government jobs just so they can earn through bribes.

I think to get some sort of understanding (instead of just operative understanding of quantum mechanics) you have to dive relatively deep into theoretical physics.

Spin can then arise from enhancing the Schrödinger equation with a relativistic description of mass and impulse [0].

I think, this must have been about the LISA System font. (Easily identified by the characteristic "v" and "w" glyphs. "I" and "l" actually look the same and both have a bit of a kerning problem, probably because of the requirement to match said 50% gray grid in a certain way.)

Compare: https://www.applefritter.com/content/lisa-font-charts

(Mind that the LISA didn't have square pixels and that the font would have appeared more condensed on the screen than in the printed sample due to pixel aspect ratio.)

Edit: For an on-screen sample with word spacing in button text as eventually released compare: http://toastytech.com/guis/lisaos1Clock_Close_Dialog_Large.j...

That's what people did before cheap TV cameras.

That's still the right way to do UI testing. You bring in people, you give them a list of tasks to do, and you take video of screen and user. Someone then has to watch the video and mark the places where people got stuck, had to back up, or gave up. Then create a highlights reel of every problem seen more than once. The devs have to watch this.

This has been known for decades. It's just that this fact conflicts with the mask-mandate crowd so any talk of it was cause for being banned from YouTube, Reddit, and Twitter. I am so disappointed with the level of allowed debate over the last two years. Warring ideological factions with absolutely no qualms with suppressing uncomfortable facts which were not in service to their chosen dogma. I'm not sure what the path forward is here but we need a collective retrospective to make sure we never, ever do this again.

That’s odd, because your own reply explains why this is different (the weaponisation / manipulation). The technology is qualitatively different or “generational.” Growing up with it has given this generation a different experience and different behaviours.

Such "Wellness Programs" do exist for health plans in the US, where you get incentivized (e.g. discounts/waived fees/increased coverage) for following whatever behavioral constraints they asked for (e.g. going to a gym, exercising regularly, and so on).

They're not universal, but they are a thing in some cases.
yes go is my preferred language for solo projects. Mostly because of tooling. I easily get binaries for all platforms, lot of errors are caught by its compiler. It packages everything in single binary which means less operational overhead. Its standard library contains most of the things that you need for web services so it doesn't require lot of dependencies. It is widespread enough to have a rich ecosystem if i do need something outside standard library.

There are some drawbacks too but i guess more experienced you are in any language more issues you will discover with it but you also learn to workaround them.
I have learned that it is called a "sucker pole" in New York.
Several departments in many states of India are far behind in their digitisation goals.

Because they want to keep avenues of corruption open.

The one that comes to mind is mutation of land type- very easily implementable solution, but it remains traditional, not analog.

Digitization does not do away with corruption. One example is the drivers' license office. There are "brokers" who take non-trivial "fees" so that you pass your driving tests and you do not face any hindrances or waste your time by having to go many times for a single task. The officers take cuts from these brokers.

Without them, only local people with no value of time will be able to get drivers' license.

There are also road signs tests. While hard for many, I found it trivially easy.
Which wars were brought to Europe by nationalism?

WW1 was brought by multinational empires. WW2 was brought by SSRS and Nazi (National-socialists). Yugoslavia was an attempt to build multi-national pan-slavic empire as well.

Historically imperialistic multi-national tribes try to build some sort of pseudo-national identity and erase small tribes. Be it SSRS with the new soviet man, Spain trying to incorporate Basques and Catalonians, UK and Scotland and so on.

If you look at 19th century and beginning of 20th century, nations/nationalism brought down the big empires. Austro-Hungary, British and Ottoman empires... Russian empire is still trying to survive but it will follow that way soon.

Wrong. Company ownership is perfectly democratic.

This happens now with share ownership.

> AKA bobby kotick can say to his employee's "make games with drm" and the employee's must obey or be fired, that is the fundamnetal problem with capitalism in a nutshell.

Every single time communism has been tried, it inevitably ends up that ultimate power rests in the hands of a few. It turns out way, way worse than capitalism, and belief that scrapping capitalism in favour of socialism (which Lenin stated is the path to communism) or jumping straight to communism, is always - always! - from either young idealistic but naive people, or believed by older people who never grew out of their earlier naive disgruntlement.

Besides which, I still believe now in my early 50's that what we have now isn't capitalism at all; it's more akin to corporatism. It's certainly not lassez-faire capitalism.
We’re talking about macOS here. Your complaints about hardware features have little to do with this discussion. Macs still have headphone jacks, too.
I think I agree with you insofar as adults are concerned, but this child was not given that opportunity. This is what polio does: (https://polioeradication.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/unsp...). Inflicting this on a child is quite ruthless.
I added brace to branch conversion in an MSP430 assembler I wrote. You could write code like:

add eax, 5
jnc {
nop
}

And it would automatically create the labels for you, syntactically, it was equivalent to what you've written above, but with labels like ".auto_brace_X".

You could also do the typical "if-else" branching with slightly extended syntax like:

add eax, 5
jnc {
<carry is set>
}:jmp {
<carry is not set>
}

<continue>

Which allowed easy extension to "do-while" loops:

{
<some loop>
dec ecx
}:jnz

The trickiest part is remembering that all branches are "unless" branches instead of "if" branches, and it obviously only works for simple constructs and can make refactoring and optimization a pain; however, there was plenty of code that benefited from using this.
As a counter example TB and some meningitis vaccines have been dropped in many EU countries because of cost/benefit, as in not enough of a disease incidence to justify covering the cost of the vaccine.

You can still get them voluntarily but you have to pay from your own pocket.
> instead of letting them fight it out

Nothing is "fighting it out", there are internal heuristics to understand what applications need that RAM.

This is an internal OS feature of modern operating systems. If you are not capped out on RAM usage, this point is moot. If you are truly running at the RAM cap, to where the OS is paging out memory to disk and you have contention, you need more RAM.
Children aren't vegan-friendly either, and the vaccines in question are mostly for children, so does it really matter?

Didn't Flash games sometimes employ DRM-type stuff to prevent swf jacking? Check the domain, and if it isn't an approved on, fail to run / do something devilish like make the game unwinnable with a note about it being stolen.

EDIT: Oh, you were saying Flashpoint got around some initial domain check. Perhaps the developer added multiple, one obvious, loud one upfront and a few more later in the game.
Defender UI is absolutely terrible and keeps deleting things.

It is enough for your average user though I'll give it that.
Who gets to draw that line? If one has the choice to self-isolate, and they are motivated by social obligation, then they should do so even if they are vaccinated because the morality of the issue doesn't scale with the severity of the virus. To knowingly risk giving others a disease for the sake of frivolity, even when the chances are relatively low, would nevertheless be an immoral act.

This is of course something I don't actually believe. Vaccines should be a personal choice because presumably they are effective enough that the argument for one's responsibility towards other people's health is greatly diminished to a point where we can decide what's a reasonable compromise. I more or less agree with what you're saying in actuality.
They just hadn't figured out that one can get results of the same quality from a usability testing room without one-way mirror. I don't blame them, the standard literature on how to run tests on the cheap appeared one decade later.
Any developer can still send almost any data they want into FB to track basically anything.

'offline conversion' still allows you to send in names, age, bday, gender, etc for matching, IP, UA.

Though now it's hashed before going to FB.

And you can pass almost whatever custom data you want in. So I can in my industry optimize for a long term political donor, or potentially an early vote. Or someone accidentally sends in 'this person bought hepatitis meds'

This still exists despite what someone below said, unless I'm totally missing or misunderstanding something.

However it is not as valuable, and shrinking audience able to do deliver to because of iOS restrictions. And likely with Chrome too eventually

FB used to have more detailed interest/demographic buckets to target that they supplied. Used to be able to type in basically anything from what someone likes ___ very niche page to engages liberal political. There are still interests but there are fewer of those 'sensitive' ones. Still lots of stuff like works at ___. of course age, gender, geo.

But more fine grained interest targeting seems like going away pretty soon it's just going to be broad demographics.

The ROI is just not as good without iOS fine grained targeting FB is having to do a bunch of tricks with AI/modeling to try and make it perform but it's not as good.

I'm for targeted advertising. I think what iOS is doing is uncompetitive and bad.

But I do think there should be some sensible regulation. Like no healthcare or sensitive topic data (LGBTQ, dating, etc).

** ADDITION sorry this is long but one additional thing I think people also confusing the ad product with the old FB api.

The old FB api was an absolute sieve you could get basically any data a person has on their profile and also their friend's data. This is what happened with Cambridge Analytics.

All that has been shut down even login with fb they are way more strict about actually testing sites etc
Low process culture, high process culture
Not to defend CPP-copy-paste, but MIPS has always been an open architecture (it is even open source now, you can get CPU verilog code from them). They did however hold some important patents that they used against others back in the 90s.

This makes riscv claims about having the first open ISA untrue, but that's a whole different discussion.
> If that was true, the poorest would be the most corrupt and the richest would be the least corrupt.

It seems clearly true to me that poorer countries have greater issues with corruption than poorer ones. What makes you say that's not true?
Hasidic Jews have 4.1 children on average, it's still Darwinism, just the opposite of what you think.
> Make it so any driving school can issue licenses to people who have completed a course.

Beware of what you ask. Private corruption is 100 times worse than government corruption. Good people in the government have job safety. But honest people in private sector can just be fired if they do not comply to corruption practices. I have seen this happened many times.

> because it is not the government's job to forcibly keep you safe.

There are some laws that keep others safe. Like drunk driving. Some laws are there because they keep safe the people who often have done nothing wrong.

Stock Tokio is tuned towards the general set of applications, attempting to make things work well out of the box, while being ergonomic to use. But, this isn't set in stone. There are knobs and patterns that can be used to really squeeze out performance, as seen with Actix Web, which is based on Tokio [1].

Similar story going into Syria, just before the war: we were at the Turkey-Syria border, trying to cross into Syria, and the Syrian border police decided to search all our belongings, including our wallets. Two hours later we got the visa, but it just happened to cost exactly as much as all the money we had on us.

This was a very interesting connection between headline and content. Based on the headline I assumed an article about entrepreneurship and tech. Even the first paragraph seemed to support my hypothesis. Snobby academics not getting what technical progress combined with market demand looks like.

Ultimately that was not the topic of the article. Yet, reading between the lines it still confirmed the my underlying bias that lead me to interpret the headline in the way I did.

Weren't they using MIPS previously and only recently came up with the new ISA? From the Wikipedia article you've linked to:

> Loongson moved to their own processor instruction set architecture (ISA) in 2021 with the release of the Loongson 3 5000 series.

So, again, the question is - why just not switch to RISC-V at this point?

...unless this isn't actually very different from MIPS, and is just a renamed clone of MIPS, but they're pretending like it isn't? (Which would answer my question.)
There has been some effort around this in the past if I remember correctly. A quick search leads to this list [0].

> Which I assume means that you test the "null implementations"/"infrastructure mocks" by making sure they are always aligned with the real interactions. This avoids the danger of "normal mocks" to diverge from the real interactions.

When using a typed language (TS, Java, etc) this is also the case for mocks, isn't it? I don't see a reason why the implementation of the `createNull()` factory should be less prone to go out of sync with the implementation than mocks (as long as the type signatures are checked).
I don't know why you'd only apply this rubric to FAANGs. Every company is horrible; it's fundamental to private ownership of capital, and therefore you should not work, especially not in IT
To explain further: The internal composite signal of the ZX81 (before it hits the RF modulator) has a poor "back porch"[1] signal, which prevents a lot of digital TVs from showing a steady image of the ZX81s screen. The composite mod for the ZX81 rectifies this, so the composite output can be feed into either a modern TV that still has a composite input, or an inexpensive composite-to-HDMI converter.

Looking at the picture, I expect the guy closest to the camera on the analogue console is actually mixing FOH and the guy on the digital mixer in the background (clearly wearing in-ear monitors) is mixing monitors.

You can't really mix monitors on a big analogue desk very easily, they're not set up for the number of output channels (sends) you need. Usually every main performer of a band has their own separate stereo mix.

During the show, for FOH it's usually just riding faders (adjusting volume of each channel) and making little effect/EQ changes if something sounds off, most of that stuff should be pretty well set up beforehand.
Why not microchip controlled locking bolts inside the frame that prevent pedals and or steering from turning?

Without the right key fob to unlock the bike is useless and resale value zero.

There are still a ton of people learning how to make basic games using Processing or Python. Excel is also used a lot to automate things which can be a gateway to learning a more advanced programming language. Just people kids are learning in new ways doesn't mean they aren't learning.

I do concur that it's sad that a lot of modern games and applications have gotten less hackable which has removed a door that a lot of old school programmers used to learn how to code.

Both my current and previous day jobs involve building an edge network, which involves doing TLS termination: that means dealing with a lot of crap that comes your way - much more traffic than is valid/legitimate traffic, because on the public internet, anything goes. So I may be biased here.

The situation for a purely backend service (behind an existing reverse proxy) might very well be different — but as others have mentioned, the Rust http ecosystem has solidified around async, so even if you could get away with 1 connection = 1 thread, you might not want to, just because of where the ecosystem is.

One thing I didn't mention is that epoll isn't even state of the art: there's a lot of work going on around io-uring and thread-per-core runtimes nowadays, which I'm following rather closely because again, at my day job it does matter!

Leaded fuel is still used in av gas for small planes. Avgas 100 has a high lead content.

Where I live there is a secondary airport that mostly flies Cessna's etc where people go to learn to fly.

It's surrounded by residential and depending where you live planes every three minutes endlessly doing circuits, quite low in some places. At one stage I think it was the busiest airport in the world.

I avoid living in the suburbs under the approach, seems to be a dirty secret about the fuel.

I am trying to find information on the technical inner workings of the payment system that China developed and claims it can complete transactions while completely offline.
