Explicit threats, defamation, calls to violence, harassment, inciting riots, fighting words … these have a legal precedent for the reason that cause and effect are traceable.

By the same token, ‘cancellation’ if it leads to loss of livelihood etc. is questionable.

Being offended or hurt by someone’s words are much harder to quantify.
> The widespread availability of those devices dramatically shrank the market for NDS games.

Nintendo sold just shy of a billion software titles for the DS, far more than the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance combined. So when you say "dramatically shrank"… compared to what?!
> uses pro-resolving lipid mediators to protect the brain from cognitive decline. These lipids are fatty acids, like omega-3, which are capable of easing inflammation.

The ol' crazy monks seemed to be onto something in the Sushruta samhita, Volume II:

"The term Nasya, in the specific sense, is particularly used with reference to the snuffing of any Sneha (oleaginous substance) with a view to make up the deficient oily matter in the brain in the case of a patient complaining of a sense of void or emptiness in the head or to impart tone to the nerves and muscles of the neck, shoulders and chest, or to invigorate the eye-sight."
I always thought that "array of ints" was a greatly unappreciated concept for declarative ... anything. They can be easily hot reloaded, they compile fast, and they're not terrible. OTOH, you'd just be reinventing the Lisp-wheel but in ints.
Own and ride a Brompton, which has 16" wheels. It's perhaps marginally less stable than a full-size bike, but I'm willing to believe that it's mostly down to steering geometry (smaller wheels limit how far behind the intersection of the steering axis and the ground you can put the contact patch) not gyroscopic effects.
ironically, the modchips were only "undetectable" because MS never thought a KV (the keyvault containing the RSA keypair tied to that mobo serial) would not match the motherboard it ran on.

The first players to use a xenon keyvault on a jasper mobo got away with it for years just because MS overlooked a decent assumption.
You agreed to the terms of service. There is little to nothing you can do.

Besides plant extraction, 5-MeO-DMT is also very easy to synthesize. For example, a commercially available and innocent precursor would be melatonin (which can be converted in one step to 5-MeO-T using KOH and then to 5-MeO-DMT using the usual techniques).

When I was on a larger team that actively participated in sprint demos was regularly a witness to this. Senior types that came along and needed to be heard - not really having a deep understanding of the application - would pick at trivial consistency issues in the UI or whatever. Such eye-rolling behaviour and hard to believe they didn't realise how transparent it was. Probably have been guilty of it myself tbh.
I thought its moving to CRI-o as well instead of containerd, or is k8s just not using docker, and containerd still supported in the future?
It was possible, just incredibly difficult, to correctly respond to the challenges requested, and stay online, undetected, indefinitely.
Xbox Series X and PS5 support high refresh gaming with lots of support in current titles. iPhones ship with high refresh displays as do iPad Pro's. High refresh rate displays are here in force in the mainstream.
> The Wii never got an account system, and the Switch still hasn't gotten a web browser.

the PS5 also did this, but I think both systems are doing it in the pursuit of preventing people from easily jailbreaking/exploiting webkit. It can still be done via DNS trickery and finding an http:// link within a game (some game cartridges with 0 updates have them).
The Brompton is bigger and heavier than this though. The Brompton A line is 25.3" x 23" x 10.6" and 25.6 lbs (64x59x27cm and 11.6 kg.) This is 21.6" x 15.8" x 9.8" and 20.9 lbs (554025 cm and 9.5kg.) Nearly five pounds lighter, 7.2" shorter and 3.7" shorter - that's a big difference for some of these use cases.

For example, lugging it around on public transport, or bringing it on a plane, or just dragging it around a city for the day - this thing easily wins, there’s just no comparison. I haven’t rode one of these so of course I can’t say, but the fact that they rode it all around the entire IJsselmeer (one of the largest lakes in the world) - which is a serious bike ride even on a normal bike - is a pretty good sign that this bike isn’t terrible to ride on, even if it may not quite be a Brompton. So the comparison becomes “decent portability and excellent biking” vs “excellent portability and decent biking”. I think that’s a fair tradeoff. If anything, I wish it would go further - give me half the size and a mediocre biking experience and I’d buy one in a heartbeat.
A phenomenal tool that “just works”. Saved me lots of fiddling with the physical monitor buttons.

I think the Dell 8k 32" is pretty close to what you want — https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-32-8k-m.... It's certainly not cheap!

edit: in case anyone knows, I see this monitor "requires two DisplayPorts" for full 8k. Does anyone know if I can plug two display ports into a docking station, and one cord out of the docking station into my 14" m1 mbp? Ideally this would also charge the mbp. Is this possible? If I were to buy such an expensive monitor, I really only want one cord.
Wouldn't that "platform" need DRM to attract third-party developers too?

>The fact is that there are certain occasions where "canceling" seems fine, and others, where it does not.

To me, this hints that the concept is a convenient tool to own people over social media or use in political attacks for rallying a voter base. There isn’t anything new here except people being shitty to each other. Anything else from it is what you normally get with reputation damage (justified or not).

Once we get rid of the annoying exercise of trying to define cancel culture, there’s some real action items we can talk about regarding reputation/livelihood damage for dumb things being said. Any reason to revisit that is because of technology’s reach now and how seemingly easily it can happen, not that cancel culture is a new thing.
This is doubtful in my opinion, but Nintendo would certainly like us to believe that. I think that Nintendo does this for profiteering purposes, and also because they are irrationally restrictive of unintended usage of their hardware/software/artwork.
This - last year I broke something because I'd changed a query in a file completely unrelated to the ticket I was working on, and the guy who did the review treated code review as a rubber-stamp - he completely ignored the fact I'd accidentally committed a change to payment processing code in a patch to tighten up company number validation.
The CPUs are designed and made by Apple, the ISA is licensed from ARM. Those are not like ARM Cortex CPUs that are actually designed by ARM.
One of my customers used to deploy on "Application Servers" which were essentially just VMs with CentOS and Tomcat. You push a WAR to an HTTP endpoint and that's that. The servers themselves were just images made with Packer and Ansible (two staged; first get a public image, update and preconfigure it, then the second stage templates Tomcat). While running ~1K nodes that way works, the problem wasn't "can it do the job" but "can we find enough people with knowledge and will this scale with more people". The answer was no and migration to first Mesos and then Kubernetes was done.

For developers, not much changed in the end (push code, receive rollout progress), technically, traffic is still the same too (external -> Load Balancer -> Application), but the glue is much more 'standard' making it way easier to support, buy support, and hire people that already know how it works.

Our "Big Data" is just a fat cluster of machines with Apache Spark, no containers. Technically we could add a container in there somewhere, but there is no benefit, so we just build server images that do exactly the same thing. I think that containers only make sense if you need to run multiple things per node, or if you want things that you can re-use (knowledge, existing software, local vs. remote environments). For everything else it doesn't really matter, a static binary does the same thing. That said, the people finishing software engineering school hardly know how to compile their down code, let alone link it statically.

While containers can solve a technical problem, they are mostly solving organisational and knowledge problems. Applies to microservices in some scenarios as well.
Quite right. The devs probably had a bunch of "TODO: This can be refactored" through out the code or at least mentally stored, yet the pointy haired bosses decided it was good enough and re-assigned the devs to other tasks.
Find a lawyer who can get the max then try to move on. There’s no justice in this world but at least you can get some money to take care of yourself.

I have sleep apnea and I went through the regular process of confirming.

1. I would have more faith in your sleep apnea system if you gave more detail. I see three pictures of what seems to be a small sensor.

2. The reason why people don't convert after around six months is because they don't get used to the sleep apnea prevention.

3. CPAPs are the best solution to this problem. Why can't I buy a CPAP or why can't you recommend a CPAP supplier?

4. Why should I trust you? The information on your website doesn't seem fleshed out enough and doesn't give me enough information. If you put the same amount of information in this HN post that would give me much more trust. Also telling me how your CPAP system works (even vaguely so that it can't be reverse engineered) would be great.
You can't write just want you want in an agreement. There are things that are not legally enforceable - even if the other party has agreed to them.
VMware actually filed and was granted a patent for the same technique, years earlier, though to my knowledge they never used it for anything (not even for counter offensive purposes against MSFT :).

> Concerned about the deadly effect of crack within their own communities, black members of Congress led the charge to pass the 1986 federal drug laws. The bill that was passed — which included the crack/powder sentencing disparity — did so with the support of the majority of black congresspersons. None at the time objected to the sentencing disparity as “racist.”

> In 2006, the feds tried 5,619 crack sellers, and 4,495 of them were black — out of the 562,000 blacks in state and federal prisons at the end of that year. Add in county and city jails, and the figure rises to 858,000. And states’ crack cocaine laws are not the culprits. Only 13 states employ differing sentencing guidelines for crack vs. powder — and their differential is much smaller than that of the feds.

App stores are the worst of both worlds, IMO.

On a PC, you get the freedom to install what you want.

On consoles, you get a certification of quality, integration, and style for the console. Everything fits with well-defined hardware as well. And since it's just video games, it's not a huge deal if it's limited, you can always install indie games on your actual PC.

With an app store, you just get shovelware that is unduly promoted combined with a gatekeeping what software you can run on your device, which could have otherwise been open.
Biggest fear is people being put in prison based on deepfake video evidence.
@oh_sigh It's completely irrelevant whether other nation states have a 'huge' or small far right wing neo nazi problem. The Ukranian oligarch Kolomoyskyi is behind the current Ukranian leader's media and political rise and is also a major funder of neo nazi 'battalions'. The Ukranian media was just 'unified' to be one voice (ie far right autocrats now control all their state media).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihor_Kolomoyskyi

Given the very serious diplomatic disaster and subsequent hot war is now endangering the planet the tight focus is on that nation state's leadership.
I consider Russia a fascist country that lost tens of millions to the nazis last century. There is a fringe far right in the US with little political power, but those two realities are of minor importance compared to the disaster that has been inflicted on the Ukranian people who absolutely don't deserve this.
No, but if they have read it before they may realize it sooner. I have seen (2021) in titles here already.

I did look into this before and it seemed like yes, curcumin is effective if it can get into the gut, but also it's mostly destroyed by stomach acid so you need to either take huge amounts or take specially prepared capsules that will release the curcumin in the intestine.

I'm not a doctor and I didn't follow up on this for a few years. But it's something to consider if you plan to take this - just eating loads of turmeric is probably not going to do anything (although it's tasty and probably has other health benefits not related to curcumin).
It's interesting to see more associations between inflammation and dementia being acknowledged.

My father was diagnosed with celiac disease in his late 50s but failed to adhere to the diet out of stubbornness. He suffered from much digestive pain (worth it, he said, to enjoy his much loved bread and ale) but over the course of a couple of years "independently" developed vascular dementia despite being mentally sharp (indeed, he was a C++ developer into his 60s) prior to this. (Long story short, he had a triple stroke in early 2021 and is now aphasic, living in a specialist care home, and seemingly lacks much connection to the world.)

I've read some recent papers that begin to consider the possibility of inflammation caused by lack of adherence to medically necessary diets or allergic reactions leading to brain damage and vascular dementia, but it seems we're still a ways off mainstream medicine being in a position to use this as the basis of any advice for future patients. It's not very scientific of me, I admit, but I'm convinced there's a connection here, so my interest is piqued here.
If you look upthread, there was a mention of F# unit types. Taking off my programmer hat and returning to my middle school anecdote which also evidently made no sense: expression of a unit without a value is (or should be to my mind, based on my education) a cast, not a computation of N+1 values.

- 1 is unitless

- 1 * m casts the value to a value 1 of unit m = 1m

- 1 * m * m casts the value 1 * m = 1m to 1m then casts 1m to m which = 1m

Admittedly my educational background here might be wildly unconventional but it certainly prepared me for interoperable unit types as a concept without changing values (~precision considerations).
We see things differently, I guess. I found it jejeune (and the tone behind it rather obnoxious).
Normally docker-compose should be portable. If they have OCI images they should be runnable on MicroVMs (no lxc container) with fly.io, Google Cloud Run, https://katacontainers.io/ and others.

The point I'm trying to make is that if you're aware of different ways to run an OCI image, you can run things in virtually the same way as the old way of having things packaged as a VM image (AMIs on EC2).

It does prevent you from setting up your own OS distribution and integrating the app directly with it, but so do AMIs.

There's some fine reasons to use blocking I/O. Often you don't have anything to do until it comes back, so it's the most natural way to write it. For a very short system call, it's faster to make it blocking because you can resume the thread instantly without the overhead of however you send/handle an async reply. It avoids space leaks, because a blocking call will… block if it can't make progress, so you can't send an infinite amount of async calls.

And it means backtraces in gdb work.
Very much! The treatments are completely different.

Obstructive apneas are caused by an anatomical problem - your upper airway is blocked by relaxed tissues.

Central apneas are caused by a neurological problem - your brain doesn’t communicate the signal to inhale to your diaphragm.

I understand the desire and the attachment to particular media properties.

There are a few movies that I would rewrite if I could.

All I can say is that there are good games that are very open to the mod community, and they would welcome more contributors.
I didn't try to rebut the blog. And anyway, my comment doesn't hang on right to no-shunning/right to food being identical. My point was that the blog is strange because the author agrees with the spirit of the op-ed while taking pains to criticize it. I think this is clearly because he dislikes being on the same side as conservatives.

If I was going to disagree with the blog, it would be over this strange idea that we should only talk about specific cancel culture incidents and never about the principle of free speech. Why not both?
Wouldn't this kill compile times?
Just because it's possible in theory to construct an undecidable FHIR Shorthand expression doesn't mean that's a real problem in practice. Could you give us some specific details about how that issue impacted MyHealthRecord? Have you created a Jira issue and brought it up to the FHIR Infrastructure Work Group, or registered a negative on the latest IG ballot? I'm sure they'd like to know and would try to find a solution.

A few edge cases are really not a serious concern. There are many organizations using these standards. In fact in the USA we're getting thousands of practitioners to follow a single IG right now because they're mandated to by federal regulation. Of course there will be some technical challenges and defects but those will be gradually resolved over time. And in practice there won't be thousands of independent implementations; instead a few vendors will implement the specifications and then the provider organizations will use that software.

HIPS appears to be a tool for doing patient index matching, and for converting between legacy HL7 V2 Messaging and CDA formats. That's useful functionality, but doesn't indicate any sort of problem with FHIR.

Instead of complaining about the standards I would encourage you to get actively involved in improving them. The standards development process is totally open and transparent, and the work groups welcome new members who want to contribute in a positive way.

Nvidia Announces Hopper Architecture, the Next Generation of Accelerated
If all the threads are idle then you could exit all of them; this makes sense if they're using async system calls. The OS would just create a new thread in the process to resume it again.

Of course, there's a lot of tradeoffs between that and just keeping an idle thread around.
I first encountered one of these as a 100 in 1 or 150 in 1, sold at a local flee market. I remember it almost broke my brain seeing that thing. Not only had it more than one game on a single cartridge, it had so very many, but the cartridge was also a lot taller, maybe twice as tall as a regular one. And it was sold at less than the price of one official game.

I never got one, tho. My dad didn't allow me to buy one, saying these things were unethical and also saying these things were of an unknown quality and might break easily or may even break my Gameboy (not sure if he really was concerned about that, or said so to stop me nagging, as the ethics argument went straight over my 7 or 8yo head). But some of my friends eventually got one, so I regularly borrowed these things :P

My 2017 4K iMac has a DPI of 219 and supports Display P3, a color gamut that's 50% larger than the standard sRGB.

For most of what developers and even graphic designers do, 120 MHz refresh rates aren't required. People who need high refresh rates on large screens already know that and are prepared to spend the money necessary.
High res isn't very clear when the image is frequently blurry because of slow pixel response times. Higher performance monitors end up more immersive in practice because of their low latency and fast pixel response times. Gaming with high performance displays, even casually, is a much more fun experience.
How does that work? Is every legitimate CD different, with some unique key? Otherwise why can't pirate versions use the same key?
Good documentation has different level of criticality depending on where you are on the "I use a closed library with no access to the source" down to "this library is just a stepping stone, we have full control and will modify it as needed"

If you are on the completely blind side, documentation is your only window into how it works, and good documentation is non negotiable (you will take a slightly worse working library if it has way better documentation).

In comparison if you adopt a library as a time saving move, and audit all of its code the same you would review your own code, good documentation is a nice to have, but won't be the make or break point of your decision. You'll chose the better working code even if its documentation is meh.

I you are putting your fate into a specific stack or library, I hope it falls on the latter category than the former. On the two json libraries, I guess they both work decently, and the only criteria is which one feels better to use ?
Here's one studio's opinion

“We definitely found that piracy was a significant factor in our Nintendo DS development efforts. When we approached publishers to propose potential game projects with them, most of them brought up their concerns about piracy at some point. Many publishers even cited the issue of piracy as a specific reason why they decided to back away from our game project, especially with it being an original intellectual property concept. The publishers’ fear was that, in a climate where piracy is commonplace, original games and new mechanics are far less likely to be successful than games based on previously successful mechanics, established licenses, sequels, and sports.”
