> In an ideal world, the number of threads in a system would be the same as the number of logical processors

... no. Not if you rely on blocking system calls. Or wait for anything that isn't the CPU. Or run more than one application per CPU on your system. Or manage concurrent code flows at any level higher than source code.
They compete with UE, so whatever UE does, they must also, for at least the appearance of parroty.

But make no mistake: Unity is the reason Unreal suddenly got cheaper and open source a few years back. Both companies read The Innovator's Dilemma and both know WTF they are doing.

BTW Will Epic's ludocrisly, mission-distortingly successful Fortnite, like Wrigleys, cause them to become The Fortnite Company? (similarly will Rockstar become the GTAV Company?)
>Censorship is the prohibition of the expression of certain ideas, not the prohibition of the expression of specific language

You completely missed the point, the "selective" part is doing most of the work. By having a vague and ill-defined rulebook that nobody but an ideologically homogeneous group of people can invoke and enforce, this group acts as a censor that selectively switches on and off certain expressions it deems "not polite".

You also uncritically assume that polite language is universal, capable of expressing any possible issue. If I told you "you can write any program you want, just don't use C/C++/Rust" I have effectively banned you from writing a huge variety of programs, from OSes to Interpreters. Similarly, some things are inherently non-polite to say, because they express non-polite truths, and those truths will always exist because the universe is under no obligation to be polite. You can never discuss (say) Putin's human rights abuses in polite language, nor can you ever discuss how sexual predators use a trendy identity to escape retribution in a polite way using nice words.

>The parenthetical is a strawman, and not what I said, nor is it true.

Not at all, see above for my reasoning for why this is a natural implication of your words. You are free to dispute the major 2 points it rests on.
I am a little bitter about my parents’ decision to skip me ahead. In fact, I was given opportunities to cut corners on the advanced work as a result, and that led me to some bad habits as my schooling continued. I’d much rather have been the consistent leader in the clubhouse with my age peers than “meeting expectations” at the higher grade levels..
Only a support engineer was compromised. Not great, not terrible.
One cannot live in 2022 without catching covid, the level of precautions I would have to take to avoid it would be extreme and damage my quality of life and probably my mental health.

I've definitely had it once, likely twice, just doing basic things exposes me to it now, so what can I do?
in what way?

According to my understanding you don't need additional threads for this.
That sounds extremely impressive, thank you. I hope to find some time to try out Nix soon (appending it to the list of technologies to learn...).
> that power has arguably been gone

That must be situational. In my circle of family and friends, religion is still extremely powerful. Even to the point where I demur when the topic of religion even looks like it could be discussed. I "pray" right along with everyone else at the dinner table at family gatherings.

And even on a national stage -- how many politicians will admit to being non-religious? There is still a tremendous amount of social power from the right.
This might be the most excited I've gotten about a comment in hackernews for a while! So interesting to see your style of code (I was actually on 4.0 so gave me the impetus to upgrade to get the new pipes). fct_reorder - what a hugely useful function I didn't know about. The chicks vignette was nicely illustrative. And label_date_short also super useful. Also curious generally about your bracket style (I just tend to pile them all up when closing, which is something I only do in R and probably shouldn't!).

Renaming factors is one of those things that always seems a bit awkward. I think I've used several methods. Passing a list of named vectors into `levels(x)` allows a many-to-one mapping but was quite dangerous. I've used revalue and mapvalues from plyr. fct_recode is new to me. But yes, renaming while reshaping could be quite convenient. Just looking at fct_recode now, it looks really nice. Seems to support many-to-one and being able to pass it a name vector is very convenient.

Learnt so much today, and this is even before trying out the python and julia examples! Many thanks for this and all your work in R!
> I don't understand your concern with the possibility of a FHIR Shorthand expression being undecidable. This just isn't a problem in any real world system.

My discovery of the format being undecidable came with the experience of building a system designed to ingest and interop data for an entire state (Victoria) during the construction of Australia's MyHealthRecord [0], which I would classify as a "real world system".

It was just one of the many edge cases I found with the standards, and led me to believe that no, it isn't possible to normalize the data that these standards are supposed to encode. And no, there is no way in hell that you can get many thousands of practitioners all to follow a single IG.

It's such a lovely set of standards that MHR developed the HIPS Middleware Standard [1] to sit between all HL7 documents and the developer interfaces of MHR.

yah you can be snore free and have apnea. apnea is a scary thing.
It is the ideal activity for a thread, but you actually don't want too many threads hanging around because each thread costs additional memory (stack + bookkeeping) and some amount of bookkeeping complexity for the OS scheduler, assuming native threads. That cost can really add up over the entire system.
in an ideal world you don't use blocking system calls?

> The window of what is considered beyond the pale has grown quite a big larger than it was in the past.

Nonsense. I was born into a world where being gay was beyond the pale. My parents were born into a world where interracial marriage was beyond the pale, and advocating for integration in some states could get you shot. For most of my grandparents lives it was literally a crime to be a socialist, or to hand out leaflets opposing WW1. When my parents were children the state was busy arresting people for distributing information about birth control, and beating up anti-war protesters. There was a government agency that controlled “decency” in media. When I was growing up people lost careers over protesting the Iraq War. Jon Stewart lost his first hosting job after Marilyn Manson burned a bible on set, and Sinead O’Connor got death threats for (correctly) accusing the pope of covering up child sexual abuse on SNL.

We are not a perfect country, there is always room for improvement. But the idea that the range of “cancelable” acts is wider than it used to be is absolute nonsense. We have way more free speech now than we’ve ever had in our past, its not even close.
Like you, I definitely started starring repos before I knew these were public, years ago.

I’ve never quite understood why there isn’t a private way to bookmark repos.
It's more accurate to say that technology competes for our time against things like doodling.
I had the same sentiment, I was thinking is this the localstack of the Firebase world? have you doomed yourself to replicate their problems? but no its a firebase _alternative_ not a replacement, well played. Lots of good explainer content too.
Hey, happy you’re doing this, as a sleep apnea sufferer. But in my hometown, they’re doing at home sleep studies, with a recording unit you wear at home and upload the results. Way more convenient than an in person study. Not sure if that’s limited to major cities or what.
I met a lady whos daughter was highly advanced in her ability to learn. She made sure that her child was enrolled in the proper grade for age to get her to be part of activities with her peers but she enrolled her in a local community college for her academic classes. She would take her to her college classes and stay outside the class until she was done. It was a full time job to care for her child. I don't know how old the little girl was but I would guess she was 10 or 11 years old.

I wish I would have known her better so I could find out how things worked out for them. It's been years since this happened.
> All psychedelics are at least as safe as alcohol

This is false. LSD and mushrooms are arguably as safe as or safer than alcohol. However...

There are hundreds other psychedelic compounds in existence, and some can acutely cause death, some even at doses close to recreational levels. Phenethylamines can all be deadly, and nboms cause extremely dangerous vasoconstriction. Some significantly lower seizure threshold.

I think the therapeutic potential for psychedelics is very promising, but there are definitely some psychedelics that are much more dangerous than alcohol.
"Five Hundred Ninety Nine US Dollars!"

But for both the PS2 and PS3, Getting folks to adopt the new formats was definitely a factor.

In the case of the PS2, I think less so; It wasn't the cheapest way to get a DVD player, but IIRC it wasn't that much more than a DVD Player with Component out at the time (note; All PS2s can do Component out, but only later models can play DVDs at 480p) and that made it a lot easier for families to buy-in.

Ah okay that’s cool then. I thought you were calling out some low level implementation detail of lisp I had overlooked. I’m trying to build a lisp as the intermediate of my new toy programming language. So I wanna get that right.
Your name is ironic, I suppose. It doesn't get much larger than when the POTUS sanctions canceling people he doesn't like.
I agree with everything in your post but the word “forced”, which is not quite right. It’s hard to sanction a fait accompli, sure. But there was a certain eagerness in the West for at least some sanctions. A lot happened in just one week.
Nope, 1030 has 37 Gflops/W... G13 786/20W = 40... and that's 14nm vs 5nm... still I'm pretty sure there are things the 1030 can do that the A13 will struggle with.

Game Over!
It's ideal in the sense that you don't need to block to wait and you can avoid context switches. But obviously that means abandoning some common patterns.
btw. this can be fixed with readiness probes. and applications should implement them.

i.e. application still gets traffic, readiness probe fails because of SIGTERM, application will respond with an error on the probe, the loadbalancer/service sees that and removes the endpoint/service the application can still respond to the inflight requests since it should not stop directly on sigterm, if everything inflight was done it should stop.

(this also works with non http, if SIGTERM is handled)
This point feels like arguing why any organization would seek density in computing if they can just buy more of something and spread it out. I don't know about you but I've saved a ton of effort on design complexity by not distributing workloads when it can be avoided (but distributed computing is a solved problem).

I recognize what you are calling out/that performance will be the same on some workloads if you distribute or not. I would just point out less manufacturing causes less e-waste/I would rather live in a world where Nvidia sells 50 million 10*0 cards, than 500 million 1030 cards to create the same amount of compute in the world. It's not just the power costs to consider (but it could be there is a reality where running 500 million 1030s for their lifetime wastes so much less power, that the manufacturing costs to the planet are worth it).

Personally, I have a folding bike with small-ish wheels; yeah, it looks quirky, but it works well and fits in my closet, trunk, etc. so I don't care. I'd maybe buy the kwiggle too if I could afford it

As an aside. I have made it a point to simply login to my google sock puppet accounts annually from my desired location simply to avoid these such lockouts.

Their primary denominator seems to be ISP. I also use a linode instance for many as wel. Gives me two locations.

> But that, once upon a time, and it wasn't too long ago, there was a thing known as "civil discourse" in this country. In which (and granted the boundaries are fuzzy hear) -- in itself the mere fact of having an unpopular (or difficult) opinion on the state of the world ... did not run such an alarmingly and dysfunctional risk of getting you shut down in form or another as it does today.

This is so disconnected with history its almost delusional. Go read about how civil rights advocates were treated in the south, or gay rights advocates a mere 30 years ago. Go read about how distributing information on birth control was a crime, or how being a socialist brought the state down on you. Go read about the labor movement before WW2, and how many workers and would be reformers were shot for their words.

For a decent chunk of the 20th century, straying outside the bounds of “civil discourse” wouldn’t get you “shut down”, it might get you killed or jailed.
It's not clear that Mauritius has such a strong case here. The history is complicated, but "On 5 November 1965, the Governor of Mauritius informed the Colonial Office as follows: Council of Ministers today confirmed agreement to the detachment of Chagos Archipelago"[0].

Of course now the current Mauritian government is claiming that it didn't really mean to agree to this detachment, and it's certainly possible that the Mauritian government in 1965 felt that its independence process (completed in 1968) would go more smoothly if they agreed to give Britain territory for a military base, but that doesn't mean that 50 years later they can try to reverse history (and claim for themselves a nice rental fee from the US for the island).

Once US society made the jump from "right vs wrong" to "good vs evil" it became an intractable problem.

@dang: was this a mistakenly flagged post? I don't think what I said was off topic or objectionable...to anyone, really.
Perhaps initially, though today any religious influence is merely the result of organizational interia, not genuine concern for the opinions of Christians.

But I don't think that's the only reason. My thought is that there would be concern over connections to actual criminal activity (human trafficking, abuse, revenge porn, etc). I'm not saying all porn is those things, but I imagine it might be harder to be sure porn isn't connected to those things.

Edit: I think pram probably has it right.
We want to live in a culture where a joke on the internet doesn't lead to a struggle session at work. It isn't batshit insane, it isn't gobsmackingly wrong, and it isn't that difficult to understand.

I question, however, if there's been as much societal change between the internet wild west days we all miss and the current day. Sure, you could write a ten page screed on how much you hate those evil left-handed people and think they should all be put into death camps, but you weren't doing it under your own name and your next-door neighbor wasn't reading it. It's only when people insist on linking their online persona with their real-life persona that they have problems. That is what I think changed. Not the way people respond to speech but peoples' propensity for making that speech under their real name.
I don't really understand the proposal that employees deserve shade in this situation.

This might not be the general consensus but in my experience development on a Mac feels extremely sluggish, mostly because of the window manager.

There's no window tiling, no true fullscreen for many apps, forced (and pretty slow) window animations, no drop-down terminal, changing windows and desktops is often slow (especially if there's multiple of the same app open), and the file manager lacks many QoL features. It definitely feels like it does not cater to power users at all.

The worst part is that nothing is customizable, and if it is it's often only through some third-party app that costs $20.
seemed more to be technical and organisational. More and more teams all the time, more and more products, more and more technical requirements / tuning etc, needed a strong abstraction to reason about it all.

Homelab would be fine =)
Yep, that's a great goal, and I/O-intesive applications do this, managing concurrent workflows with custom user-mode schedulers.

But now you have more than one application on the machine? Or even, code from multiple vendors which all need to issue I/O concurrently? How do you integrate their work with your custom scheduler?

You need some centralized, system-wide scheduler everyone agrees on.

That's what threads are.

Have you ever hit rock bottom? Have you ever not wanted to exist anymore? I have, and it was terminal. Do you know what saved me? DMT.

DMT saves my life. And every time I wanted it to end and I chose a pipe before going through with it, I was saved again. DMT taught me many things, but most of all it taught me how to love myself and how to love life.

Mushrooms reinforced those lessons. It took me from poverty to using my natural gifts (coding, tech) in a way that added value to society & let me acquire prosperity.

If it wasn’t for psychedelics, I’d have been 6 ft under many years ago and all the good I’ve experienced and spread would have never happened.

DMT let me make contact with an eternal and boundless love. Maybe it was imagined, maybe it was real, but in any case if an illusion teaches you how to love and how to flourish, tells you that you have an important contribution to make, and sets you on a positive course — is it really an illusion? If actionable and material manifestation occurs as a result of the internal changes, then the “reality” of an experience is confirmed.

5-MeO-DMT is like a shortcut stargate straight to that eternal love. It has and will continue to save many, many lives.

You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
You can, and it will certainly help, but as the old saying goes "unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself". In some contexts no amount of reading will give you the insight that experience does.

Unity has been courting the VFX community for years for building prerendered scenes. Unreal is doing much better in that area than they are. Gaining more ground here was why they acquired WETA Digital. If Unity can gain a foothold, then they don't need a lot of users...just a few really big ones.
This level of automatic tracking would require all players (VOIP company, network providers (eg, via wifi), cell phone companies, Google + Facebook + Apple, along with significant tracking effort...

Just to find out that phone #5 is Pete.

Whilst it could be done, things aren't quite that far along yet. Further, I believe you are presuming I intend to remain unknown from all parties.

I believe you, and a few other commenters here are jumping to an extreme interpretation. My goal is to cut automated tracking.

A key example may be photo radar, and those license plate covers which make plates illegible (presumably). In this case, should a police officer, or the government in general want to track you, yup, they could.

For example they could go through video looking for you again. Your exact car. Including, the covered plate! It really wouldn't be that hard to do, but it would take time. Effort.

However, plate readers are networked, and databases are being kept of car movements. Having that plate cover breaks this automatic tracking, even if a dedicated person may want to track.

So you raise the bar. You remove automation.

And that's the guts of it. Because profitability in this business is won by doing a few simple things, and then collecting massive amounts of data. Remove any degree of automation, and it is no longer profitable to track someone.

I bought my phone with cash, my sim card, my minutes with cash, used a fake address and name, signed up to Google with a different fake name, bought a play card with cash, which was basically zero effort for me.

I do this whenever I buy a new phone. A new, clean slate.

I then, using my already existing infrastructure, only allow people to reach my mobile via a voip number. Done.

Yet everyone here thinks this is loads of work, with zero benefit. Welp, I disagree.
