> I'm saying that the Muslims did the world a favor by saving them from the Mongol destruction.

And I'm forced to repeat my question. Who is saving whom? The world? Because it appears the millions who got raped and genocided by "the Muslims" would be likely to strongly to disagree with you.

I hope you don't think Niall Fergusson's view is an isolated opinion. Most historians appear to share similar viewpoints. Here's a quote from Will Durant.

"
„The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history.“ — Will Durant, book The Story of Civilization Will Durant, The Story of Civilization: Our Oriental Heritage page 459. The Story of Civilization (1935–1975), I - Our Oriental Heritage (1935)

"

Interestingly enough, there is written history on this, provided by Islamic historians of the period themselves! Because the Islamic historians were "proudly" chronicling of the conquest.

“The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and children to slave markets and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to 1700 AD. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period.”

Francois Gautier in his book ‘Rewriting Indian History’ (1996) wrote:

“The massacres perpetuated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks; more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese.”
We've been using tabulator for few years now on an internal project. It's been doing quite well so far, has a lot of features out of the box and is easy to customize.

It is impossible to know if you have successfully uploaded a consciousness, just as it is impossible to really know whether your neighbor is conscious, or whether the device you're reading this on now experiences consciousness, or whether a rock does -- or an electron, or a cell, or a city.

One related word: Panpsychism.
Celebrities who are douche bags are criticized all the time — I'm not sure what your point is exactly. Musk is not just a "celebrity," he is one of the most powerful men on the planet. Most celebrities don't control 10% of one the most powerful media apparatuses in the country.

Musk is seen by many as a sociopathic narcissist who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Doing things like sending private investigators to try and dig up dirt on that rescue diver who criticized him hardly distances him from that image (and doesn't help his claims of being a "free speech absolutist" either). Those traits combined with tremendous power are generally not a good combination.

We don't owe him anything for his business ventures. He isn't running a charity. He isn't doing it for you and me. Electric cars and rockets are very cool, but are not moving humanity into some new dawn. The idea that he is some necessary component of "hard evidence that we can build new things" that deserves special treatment is borne straight out of a personality cult. Pointing this out is a far cry from "claiming his work isn't valuable."
How to support reader-mode for Safari?
Just shooting my shot since I don't expect Apple to open source their reader-view implementation just because I asked the question. Maybe someone here figured it out or knows the source? The top answers google yielded were did not contribute to solving my problem.

The point of peer dependencies is to allow users more flexibility in choosing the specific version of the dependency. It’s not intended to specify any kind of conflict between the packages, it’s effectively BYO sub-dependency.
I just want to know if this means Musk or anyone on the board can veto “bans” either on himself, themselves or for others…

Will that account that tacks his plane continue tracking his plane?
Absolutely, and any time you can use the built-in asm support, I'd recommend using it.

But also, I'd love to see support for C and assembly files in rustc.
The PDF export feature sounds great - but even something simpler like a CSV, JSON, heck even XML would give others a lot more freedom to handle the data however which they choose.

I appreciate your perspective from already creating something similar, I'll consider this moving forward. More verbose audit logs are a great idea and I'll add that to the feature board, thanks!

They allow you to spend much less time thinking about resource constraints and/or performance optimization and just focus on what you're trying to get done and/or do more than would be possible with conventional systems. Workstations let you buy your way past many limitations.

The closest example today would be people like developers, AI researchers, 3D designers and video editors buying high-end video cards (quite possibly multiple) running in Threadripper systems. They're paying up for GPU power and huge amounts of cores/RAM/IO bandwidth/whatever to either do something that isn't feasible on a lower end system or to complete their work much more quickly.
I've used GitHub Actions quite extensively now, across infrastructure automation, Python CI/CD, and iOS CI/CD, and while not perfect, it's the best platform I've used for this stuff so far.

Compared to Jenkins it needed far less maintenance. Compared to CircleCI it felt much easier to work with and to build reliable pipelines due to the locking primitives it provides, and compared to Semaphore I found it easier to understand how the pieces fit together.

My criticism would mostly be about missing features, but the pace of development has been great and the only one I have left on my list is SSH debugging, which didn't end up being much of a blocker to our adoption anyway.

As for reliability, nothing is perfect, but in my experience it's at-or-above the level that CircleCI provided, and far surpassed our in-house Jenkins server.
Does that mean he's now announcing the next five years, that Twitter's next feature will be ready next year?
AOL didn't exist when Neuromancer was written.

While the others did, Gibson seemed not to have been aware of them, and he didn't even own a computer at the time.

You can tell his vision of cyberspace came entirely from his imagination because it doesn't even remotely resemble any actual computer systems of the day.
Why can’t they use two way or even one way radios?
They made 50 neutrons from this shot! You can make billions per second, steady state, with a tabletop device plugged into a standard outlet.

Edit: Fusion makes ~ 10^15 neutrons for every watt-hour of energy released (for the easiest kind of fusion)

> Google works by pushing employees to build their entire identity and social circle around the company. Eat and relax on campus, find yourself a spouse in the company, sure. Work way over full time and have way too many ties to ever, ever leave.

This hasn't been my experience at all. Granted, I am one person in one team in one corner of a giant company. But my experience is that when I was in the office I went home consistently at 5:30. On days when I spent time playing pinball or got a massage I still went home at 5:30. I am friends with exactly zero of my coworkers. I don't think I know a single person at Google who hangs out with another Googler I know outside of work. And in spite of making very hard boundaries between work and life, my career growth rate has been in the top 5%ile of engineers at the company.
What makes you sure your version is true, while there's isn't? They're not your friend, they're a giant, exploitative megacorp.
One problem is the culture he's created at his other companies.

"He broke the rules!" ok, sure.

But why is that form there and what is the consequence of filing one way or the other? I mean besides being punished for doing it wrong, why does that rule exist and what are the effects of filling it out one way or the other?

Why is this anything more than an administrative mistake? Did he get some benefit from filing the form that way?

... or, what it seems, is this just a "gotcha!" for people to complain about on the Internet.
we're part way through switching all our monorepos from lerna to pnpm & simply could not be happier & more excited.

lerna has soo many issues, is slow & cumbersome. #2142, no way to update dependecies in monorepo subprojects? how is there a monorepo tool where projects cant update their deps? everything on pnpm's built-in monorepo support just works, nice & easy & fast.
As I recall you also had mag strips on some 35mm films but it wasn't very widely used. (And it may have been all films that were originally shot in 70mm.)
> It's an interesting notion that the "my-ness" of my consciousness requires continuity – it must be continuous and uninterrupted.

And yet, it's interrupted every night when I sleep (at least, for some definitions of consciousness). I've been out for some surgeries, too, and I was still "me" when I came back. So I disagree with the "must be uninterrupted" idea.
Devices using the exact same Qualcomm SoC can have significantly different performance and efficiency [0]. Samsung devices tend to do very well, even though they are typically among the first to ship the chips.

In the article I've linked, you'll see the Samsung S10 gets the longest battery life of any device using the Snapdragon 855, while still placing at or near the top in the performance charts.

> On hot, sunny days at the end of the summer, warm up the water stored.

Phase change stores/requires much more energy than simple temperature change. 0°C Ice to 0°C water transition is 334J/g, 0C water to 100C water is ~400J/g (ie 4J/g per degree C), 100C water to 100C steam is 2260J/g.

To store heat from the summer for winter warming (say best case 40C summer temp) you'd be looking at least 3x as much material for heat storage vs ice storage for summer cooling (at say -10C)
Your example looks great! Indeed I trolled every piece of nix documentation I could find -- it was the only way to figure out what I should be doing.

Here's the simplest example of an utter failure when I tried nix: installing ruby 2.2. It's very possible I did something totally wrong, but when I have to use ruby 2.2 and nix cannot do it, it sort of kills your awesome example of being able to override openssl.

Another extremely frustrating experience was the bifurcation between nix and nixos. Clearly one experience is preferred over the other. So many blogs and docs talk about things like HomeManager and other configurations that are nixos specific.

On top of nixos/nix, there's also shell.nix/flakes. There's just too much development in nix right now to make sense of what's going on.
As mentioned by others, not really. Lumen can use either software or hardware raytracing as one of its components, but it uses them for different purposes. (One of the downsides of hardware raytracing is that you're limited to the very specific kinds of acceleration data structures that are supported by the GPU.)

This documentation page covers some of the differences between Lumen's software and hardware raytracing modes: https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/lumen-technical-deta...

And if you want a ridiculous amount of technical detail about how Lumen works, check out this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdV_e-U7_pQ
Interesting, but how does it actually work?
I know how much wine costs. I got bottle of wine in a restaurant for $35, at grocery for $4, in Spain at grocery for 1 Euro and free with 10 Euro meal in Barcelona. I know what one bottle of wine makes to my body. I don't smoke weed and I don't know if 1/8th of cannabis is something I could use in one evening, so it would be equivalent of bottle of wine.
Unless they refuse to get vaccinated.

It may seem like an off-topic point, but I recently had a big wake-up call with the kinds of people you mention. The flip side of your flowery description is that they're often short-sighted, vicious people who can get worked up into a frenzy with little warning, or reason. Sometimes they want to for no reason.

You're trying to describe the nobility of people with no skills (valued by society). But imagine if the entire world were populated by them. Would you really want to live in it?

And if not, can they be called heroes of humanity?
Nowhere in my post did I make that argument. If Elon used slave labor to run his factories, I wouldn't defend it. However, "being a troll, exaggerating, and sometimes lying" are not mortal sins.
I was hoping "unpopular" would be the word we used
you're right, hopefully all those political woke people will go elsewhere. Then they can be replaced by people who believe in minimal oversight and free speech, and then twitter will be truly apolitical.
> Why would you say that? Did you not see the second line that you quoted from me?

I saw the second line. It was a reluctant acknowledgement that "they probably should not have covered the outrage itself until the later reporting was done", which is the most tepid and gentle characterization that can be mustered without lying. On top of that, you also proceeded to say that $2 billion in property damage and "mostly peaceful" can co-exist. Sorry, but $2 billion (with a "b") in property damage and a much larger - but difficult to quantify - amount from lost business and other collateral damage is far too great to make the allowance of "mostly peaceful".

If you still think that the media isn't trying to gloss over all of this, look at the coverage of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. I'm not a fan of the kid, and I'll gladly argue that, as a 17 year old, he shouldn't have been there. But he was trying to help in a peaceful manner, and in the events that unfolded - all seen on video - he clearly was cornered and forced to defend his life. Yet the media tried to paint him as a racist monster who chased after others to commit murder. Facebook wouldn't allow discussions of his innocence. GoFundMe refused to let him raise money for his defense on their platform. And night-after-night, the media, who had access to the original video the whole time, told us of his murderous exploits rather than give an honest accounting. In the end, a jury, having seen all of the evidence, acquitted him.

It SHOULD give you pause. What if, because of being deplatformed, he couldn't afford a competent defense and was convicted because of the media's actions? Who will be the next collateral damage in the narrative wars?

The major media outlets - on all sides - are corrupt. And we tolerate it.

At least on phone it only gives you one sentence per page with a slow transition, so it wasn't as quick as you suggest to go over it again to confirm.

Either way, the point seemed to be more about the different feeds which is not a surprise anywhere while the real and only relevant information actually is that the content is banned.
Is the argument that Musk will make Twitter less ideological? My assumption is that he’ll push for his own ideology. If so, nothing gets better unless you happen to agree with Musk’s ideology. If nothing gets better we’ve traded one echo chamber for another.

I can appreciate Trump, and I can appreciate Bernie. I appreciate Kanye’s art and often his blunt words. My vote for him was purely symbolic. He wasn’t even on the ballot in my state.

What's wrong with Snyk?
Games span a bit of a range. With the copper you could change the palette while the screen updated, so you could do more than 256 on AGA or more than 64 on ECS Amiga's, but even on AGA Amiga's (A1200, A4000, CD32) it was rare for games to even reach 256 because of memory bandwidth. 32-64 was a more common range. Even that often used copper tricks, because using fewer bitplanes meant less memory bandwidth used, and so it was often worthwhile using copper palette tricks.

A handful of games did use HAM for up to 4096 colours, but mostly for static screens (there's somewhere in the region of half a dozen exceptions total)

Some old "Super 8" 8mm handheld movie cameras recorded audio magnetically on the side of the film, which is weird because the film itself is not magnetic at all. There's just a thin magnetic strip running along the edge. I've seen it on recordings from the 1970s, but it probably dates to the 1960s.

To see why you're wrong, all you have to do is look up a survey:

From Maricopa county (Phoenix): https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/why-is-...

That's 2,239 people (16 percent of all surveyed shelter-visitors) that cited "economic reasons" as the cause of their homelessness, and there's a separate entry for unemployment.
Some ends justify some means. He lies to some investors. Not good. Because of the this the chance we get into serious trouble due to climate change is significantly reduced. We also gain the technology to go to Mars economically. So Yeah I would say this end justifies lying to some investors.
Hah - this sounds not dissimilar from the first fission bombs that were "gun" type.

Elon Musk definitely does not believe in free speech that criticizes Elon Musk.
Do we defend people for being annoyed by a drunk guy at a bar?

You seem to be under the impression that there is nothing legitimately off putting about Elon’s public persona.
No. I’ll admit I’m pessimistic on such things. Sure Twitter could improve, but I don’t see how/why that would be led by Musk. I don’t see what he brings to the table other than himself as a person. It’s not like he was an expert in a similar field/company like FB, IG, TikTok, etc.

Edit: so it seems Elon is already promising changes, but Twitter says he has no say in content policy. So the nonsense may already be starting. Source: https://twitter.com/reckless/status/1511387364563767298
I just want to look for ways to contribute to the lives of my family, friends and community. Both of my jobs were 50+ hours per week minimum and 1 hour daily commute.

The pro Elon crowd here is a minority. Something I’ll never understand, being that this is an entrepreneurial forum and Elon is the worlds best entrepreneur. Jealousy perhaps?
You can use nitter instances instead of Twitter. UI on there is super lightweight and usable, something you hope the original one would be. Also you are not distracted by constant popups for logging in.
