Look up the alzheimer’s is caused by pathogens hypothesis. If my parents start to develop alzheimer’s I will push for antivirals and antibiotics. Nothing to lose at that point.

Edit:
> The infectious hypothesis proposes that a pathogen (virus, bacteria, prion, etc.) is the root cause of AD [2]. The hypothesis is supported by evidence that some pathogens, such as herpesviruses and certain bacterial species, are found more commonly in AD patients. There is some variation within the infectious hypothesis field as to how an infectious pathogen explains the pathological hallmarks of AD. Direct infection and eventual death of central nervous system (CNS) cells by pathogens could explain the cognitive deficits and heightened inflammation found in AD [3].

DPL scanners in Slack, anyone? Figured Okta would definitely have those.

We get alerts when folks are sharing tutorial code with fake keys like DEADBEEF in them. It's nice to know DPL works, if you use it.
As far as the operating system is concerned, a thread is a thread. Async/await is a pattern for hiding the implementation details of multitasking or faking it in languages with limited support, it still largely works the same, except you see it as the thread being yielded to rather than from in explicit threading.
This is an interesting idea, but quoting Stalin, isn't the really important thing the program that counts the burnt fuses? Maybe that's also exploitable

Anyway, the article also says that an exploit is already available to bypass that
According to the laws I know of, distribution is prohibited but receiving an illegal copy isn't. The server is offering an illegal copy and that is the main problem in most piracy cases. Usually the person who offers the copy has more resources and acts like a central part in the redistribution, so they're the easiest and most profitable targets of lawsuits. I'm sure that was considered when the laws were written.

But again, I don't know the specifics of copyright law where you live. Perhaps your jurisdiction considers the person accepting the offer of an illegal copy to be a criminal as well.
I don't disagree.

But green threading doesn't address the OP's issue of "too many threads": a process using green threads needs to spawn one thread per CPU if it plans to use the CPU's full power.

On say, a 16-core system like the OP's, you're back to 16 threads per process -- on average, more than the OP was complaining about (15).
If you were white, straight, cis, and particularly male, then this is true. Everyone else, eh not so much!
I did a POC using service fabric years ago but I have not really read anything about it since. My company at the time was unable to give me three servers per tenant, so I had to drop it - but it's good to hear it's still being used.
Just look at Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine it's basically a chip the size of a Wafer but it's not cheap...
Yep, same configuration here other than we use 60/65/70 for (admittedly) completely unscientific reasons.
They didn't disappear, they moved online. You modify your own console, download the cracked games and burn your own physical media. Selling actual discs became less profitable (fewer buyers) and riskier (stronger enforcement).

Also selling physical (or digital) copies was rarely done by the crackers themselves (that's actually looked down upon in the community), mostly by third parties who usually had better Internet access/knowledge. When everyone started having unlimited ADSL/etc, their small business dwindled quickly.
I remember all sorts of bootleg media prior to the PS2 release, and what I suspect happened is that there were large crackdowns with FBI investigations and raids on bootleggers. They went after homeless people selling bootleg VHS and DVDs on the street, too. I haven't seen much counterfeit media since then.

Modern DRM uses cryptography and remote attestation, but that wasn't around in the PS2 era.
In general I agree with the other comments about social skill and connections. But remember you can often go up a grade or two for specific subjects, like math or reading or whatever. Don't be too sad if this doesn't work out, either. I got moved up to 3rd grade math in the middle of when they were teaching long multiplication and I was totally lost. I still aced the verbal section of the PSAT (much later lol) and got some good scholarships.
Yes, and they are part of the SoC so there is also no way to "replace" them.
Not sure where you grew up, but PS2 piracy was rampant and easily accessible. It probably had more to do with local copyright laws than anything technical.

As far as anti-piracy measures go, the PS3 is where Sony upped their game AFAIK.
That only bolsters my point. I see a lot of posts here decrying Adafruit's actions as being anti-market, or that these middlemen extracting value are somehow "fixing" something wrong with the market.

But it's not a free market! Adafruit (etc.) are only allowed to sell at particular price points, or the RPi Foundation will stop giving them inventory to sell. You can argue that is a free market, since Adafruit and the Foundation have voluntarily entered into a mutually-beneficial contract.

But then we also have to accept that Adafruit is well within their rights to impose restrictions on how the product is bought, in an effort to ensure the products get into the hands of the people they want it to, at the (lower) price point they want.

All Adafruit is doing is putting up a big "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" sign whenever an ordering bot shows up, which is completely up to them to do if they want.
There are lots of great deep dives into piracy protection for various game consoles on YouTube. I highly suggest taking a look. It’s very interesting.
I've never seen Empire of the Sun (1987), and yet the original soundtrack (OST)[1] composed by John Williams is special to me. But you are right, yes, soundtracks intensify feelings for particular scenes (or even for the entire film at large), i.e., for me: The Cider House Rules (1999) OST[2] composed by Rachel Portman exemplifies that.

I don't think that the problem is cancel culture per se. The problem is how internet identity works. If you attach a real identity to the things you say online, you have a social credit score. Hell, even if you don't attach a real identity to these things, you will very likely not say things that you think are correct, but unpopular, even if you are prepared to defend you position ad nauseam. And you will avoid saying them out of fear of downvotes.

The problem gets much worse if your karma is a thing that you are obligated to attach to your real identity to.
Merchants don’t like porn because it’s high risk: tons of fraud and chargebacks
I don't understand why you're so fixated on the partisan angle here. Both right-wing and left-wing Twitter engages, viciously, in "cancellation" behavior. How is it helping us understand the phenomenon to digress into whether liberals are paternalistic towards working class people? The thread you're writing on is rooted in a comment saying that Ken White doesn't purport to have figured out the whole "cancel culture" problem, but rather simply rebuts an NYT editorial that you yourself think is sloppy and poorly written. Nevertheless, here you are, proposing what seems to be a unified field theory of toxic political behavior: it's "paternalism", apparently.

This is weak. You have stuff to say. Say it, don't just barb people.
Much appreciated, passed on in the hopes it's useful, and when it's not 0030 and I'm awake enough to actually understand any of it I'll be having a read through myself.

There's a standout anti inflammatory that is a turmeric extract. It is called circumin but is only effective when taken in the form with a pepper extract, pipinerol. But it is often sold in this combo.

I have seen it have near miracle effects on soft tissue type injuries both personally and in others.

Interestingly I know of medical practationers that take it prophalatically against alzeimers, not sure on what research they base their decision on, it might be speculative, but it seems to have zero harmful side effects that I can tell, so little chance of harm.

So YMMV and DYOR, I'm not a doctor, just relating personal experience that might be helpful, but there is quite a lot of info out there if you care to research so just giving you something to think about and maybe try.
GPU shortages are nearing an end and with next generation products from Nvidia, AMD and Intel on deck, well probably be in a really good spot for GPU consumers come q4 2022.

My feelings as well! The way it put your queue front and center and gave you so much control over how things were added worked really well for me. Spotify leaves a lot to be desired in its UI.

I still remember opening the site one day and reading the weird appology letter. I think that was the first time I saw something I really cared about just dissappear off of the internet.
> The fact that your knee jerk response is to frame professionals using judgement their jobs as "letting you state by" is just crazy.

The UK system (builders choose their own building control inspector in the free market, building owners choose their own fire risk assessor in the free market, makers of building materials choose their own flammability testing house in the free market) produced hundreds of tower blocks clad in flammable cladding and insulation, and a fire in which 72 people died.

After all, why choose the guy who's going to give you a hard time, when you could choose someone friendly, helpful and trusting?

And inspectors and testers know that. And those that are still in business are so very friendly, helpful and trusting, in fact, that the person certifying whether your insulation is flammable will let you set up the test rig yourself, and they "won't notice" you've put magnesium oxide fireproof boards over the flame sensors.
Yeah and he just won eastern conference player of the month. Article makes it sound like he's at risk of any game now dropping down with a heart attack, which on the face of it is ridiculous.

Exceptions do not contradict the rule - athletes in high demanding sports rarely have heart problems, and the idea that they are at equal risk than the gen pop is laughable.
The article that gp linked mentions that it's stored in non-volatile memory that supposedly is "programmable" only once. Obviously, it depends on the chipset, but how is non-reversibility guaranteed in this case?
I kept using the word "employee", not "owner". And I think most people would agree that the largest shareholder who is CEO is not an employee in the standard use of the word.

Since the OP responded in a different post that Zuckerberg, by virtual of control of the majority of Meta stock isn't an employee, he's clearly referring to power, not to equity. And I think it's true that Bezos (if he chose to reassert himself) or Musk can do whatever they want with their respective companies. I mean, even if he doesn't control more than 20% of the stock, who do you think is going to stand up to Musk? The institutional investors? A coalition of people who bought into Tesla because they worship him? The minority that is none of the above?
I'm sure you meant this out of genuine curiosity, but it comes across as a bit "prove it." The fact is that people have a broad range of experiences. Speaking of "brown people," 10% of e.g. Indian Americans say that racism is a "major problem" in America: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/09/16/miss-americ....

But 48% think it's a "minor problem" and 38% who think it's "not a problem at all." At the end of the day our social norms around race have to be broadly workable. Gearing our social norms around the 10% are not cost-free. The folks directly affected those norms may well be more worried about stifling friendships and interactions than about racism. It's like having your immune system--too sensitive isn't good either.
> Why can't the pirates simply copy every single bit of the newer game media as they did before?

Ah! So actually, they implemented a really (technically) cool DRM that is totally sideband to the bits of data on the media. It relied on tracking servo feedback that most (all?) cd burners ignored.

Though, this pertains to ps1, I'm sure they did something similar and perhaps harder to spoof for ps2.

Too bad Nintendo produces some of the most popular game franchises like Pokemon or Zelda, and the only way to play them is to buy their hardware. I used to resist buying a Switch, but Breath of the Wild was such an amazing game that I had to get a Switch myself. And to be honest, other consoles are locked down in the same manner. Probably the most open "console" one could get right now is an x86 PC.
It's good to get attention from teachers when you're actually moving faster than the other students. If you move up to a level where you're average, you're going to get an average amount of attention.
Not too helpful, but not useless. On the entire first screen there's an "I" or "Me" in every sentence. Then it gets better.

He's on point with this looking like the runup to WWI. And with Putin wanting a multipolar world.

The Institute for the Study of War has a better analysis of what Putin wants.[1]

“For the first time in the past two hundred to three hundred years, [Russia] is facing a real danger of sliding into the second and possibly third echelon of world
states,” - Putin, 2012. Putin has been consistent about his aims. He wants a world with a few Great Powers, with buffer states between them. That's very 19th century, when Europe had about five empires pushing back and forth.

Putin’s Russia—unlike its predecessors—has no state machine or elite capable of balancing out
his instincts and narratives. This is extremely important to understand.
After Stalin, no leader of the USSR had the authority to start a nuclear war.
Unlike the US President, the Premier of the USSR did not have launch authority.
Only the Politburo did. That was built into the command and control system. Among other things, the army controlled the launchers and the KGB controlled the warheads, so they both had to work together to launch.

That separation of control has not survived into the Putin era. It's now official policy that Putin has launch authority.[2] That's what so scary this time. It's one guy.

That is correct. We run baremetal and all process run on all boxes. The one exception is we put our remote browsing product in gvisor which does use containers.
As Lion Feuchtwanger put it: "Talented person is talented everywhere."
That's pretty common I think. The retailers get their orders in and planned well before consumers can.

In some cases you're finding far flung regions relative to the source having better availability, because they were allocated a percentage of the original supply but are also too far away for scalpers to be interested, so they just haven't gone through it as fast. Australia hasn't had too many troubles with some items that are pretty hard to get elsewhere for example. Getting a 3080 in NYC is probably a real challenge, but I can walk to my local parts store and pick one up no dramas.
Yeah this is all reasonable. Parent felt a bit reactionary
> I'd never buy something like this

You'd never buy a Switch because of this?

I hear what you're saying, and I philosophically have similar feelings, but I purchased my Switch to play games I purchased for said Switch. The Switch does exactly what I want it to do, and this technical limitation doesn't impact that.

Could Nintendo do something in a future OS update that I really dislike and will make me change my tune? Possibly.

But they've also built enough trust that I'll take that risk.

Obviously you are free to make purchasing decisions for your own reasons, but I don't fully understand the hardline stance in this context.

I'd never buy a general-purpose computing device that did this, but that's because I buy general-purpose computing devices to do whatever I want.

I bought the Switch to play Breath of the Wild and arguably some of the best games I've played since I started playing games in the early 90s, and don't regret that.
Great discussion. Many have asked the same questions.

It depends on the subject. I don't have the right to deny racial equality without fear of being shamed or shunned. But I certainly have the right to point out that transgender biological males aren't women in the normal sense and don't match many people's definitions of the word "woman" without fear of being shamed or shunned.
We do, power activity feeds and chat for a billion end users using cloudformation, cloud-init and puppet on the infra side. Code is based on Go, rocksdb and raft.

Don't see why we would want the overhead of K8 and docker. Infrastructure is already defined in code, everything is redundant and automated, why have 1 extra layer that can break and cause performance issues?

Use docker for local dev though its good for that.

First generation copy-protection efforts were lackluster.

Case in point: I ordered three DVD box sets from eBay, new and sealed, a few weeks ago. All three were counterfeit, and all three were from different sellers. Very convincing counterfeits all of them - but the single-layer discs (because pirates struggle with the more common dual-layer) and lack of copy protection on studio releases (because pirates can't recreate it) were the giveaways - along with some sloppy data layer cutting edges.

Compare this to, say, Blu-ray. It has also been cracked - but counterfeit Blu-rays are far, far more rare and easily detected. Why? The DRM is stronger, sure - but Blu-rays are also entire Java programs and much harder to replicate or rip than a DVD menu. Many Blu-ray Discs have Cinavia, which embeds invisible data inside the video and audio streams informing the player that the disc should have copy protection. Cinavia can't be removed without massive distortions to the video and audio, and pirates can't create their own copy-protected discs - thus, any attempt to make (even press) an unprotected disc with a protected video stream will fail. And finally, rather than DVD which has the recordable and pressed discs with a similar color, Blu-ray uses almost transparent discs for pressed ones, but dark black for burnables, making spotting fakes visually easy.

Where am I going with this? My point is that DVD used only one real form of protection, and it was weak and broken less than a year after release. Blu-ray uses up to, I believe, five different methods all assuming the others have fallen. And that's for a system that doesn't get software updates and came out 15 years ago, unlike a video game console.

DRM in breadth and in depth.
Nintendo is probably still feeling burned by the NDS.

It was a fantastic console, and fairly open. It had two ARM CPUs (one per screen), and there was a terrific homebrew scene. Some of my first embedded C programs were for the NDS lite. It had ebook readers, paint programs, a toy Linux port, the whole 9 yards.

But, that openness also made it open to piracy. The way you loaded code onto the system was through "flashcarts". They were shaped like game cartridges, but they had a microSD slot on the top and an internal MCU which often ran a firmware that could load game ROMs from the filesystem, and even add features like cheats and save-states.

The widespread availability of those devices dramatically shrank the market for NDS games. Developers were dropping off the platform well before the 3DS came out, and Nintendo started to pay much more attention to DRM.

It was sort of a sad situation. The ability to write your own software for a handheld game console was amazing in the 2000s, but that openness ended up suffocating the platform.
Republican king makers are considering backing Schwartzeneggler in the same way that Ronald Regan was backed. The intent is to counter Trump. Are the democrats going to back Oprah Winfrey to counter him? Converting popular actors into popular politicians sounds about right for these crazy times.
Theory: Sound qualities (texture, pacing, pitch, etc.) map to archetype, which map to general stories running through our minds.

(I guess you could map this to the theory of shared unconscious symbolic awareness, the patterns of stories that emerge from every culture)

To the degree that those stories REALLY run through our individual, subjective pasts/minds, the corresponding soundtrack will feel REALLY powerful.

This can also explain why you can play a soundtrack for someone else and they give you a flat "that's nice" rather than a "whoaaaa" every time you want them to give you a "whoaaaa". Which can be really frustrating. But the composer has your back.
The gene coding for APOE exists in three frequent variants in humans: APOE2, present in 8% of the population, APOE3, the most common, and APOE4, which is found in nearly 15% of people and increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by a factor of ten.

What might be in the pi 4 that it is being bought out? Is there just a limited supply at the moment?
I guess for me, I like having them be different things, like they are in Clojure. But that could certainly be because Clojure is my first and only exposure to a LISP type syntax.
I don't see the "non-volatile" part at first, sorry about that. I guess non-volatile just means the data persists across resets, not necessarily that the fuses are stored in flash or something that can be modified.
Nintendo is worst then Facebook (in different ways)
They're actually scarce because of the wonderful debacle the whole supply chain has become in the past two years. This short-term scarcity is being exploited by bad actors who are seizing upon an opportunity to attempt buy up all the remaining stock in hopes that the legitimate end users will be forced to purchase from them at inflated prices.

As far as "nobody can do anything about it" is concerned, 15 states have made ticket scalping illegal because it harms consumers, and if this sort of thing continues you can bet that will expand further. Such legislation would even be fairly straightforward to write, but I suspect it will be more entertaining to watch as various scalpers of retail gear get nailed for various forms of tax evasion.
