No, thats my point, its possible to shim say 3d sound into a driver/HW stack that doesn't support it via software. In the cases that you truly need a new HW feature, you assure the userspace API your providing to applications doesn't fail when that feature doesn't exist. AKA you don't make your entire software stack dependent on that feature, you provide fallbacks.

That way the old HW/driver that doesn't have the new feature continues to work.

AKA, like I said its a mindset, its hard to come up with a HW feature that has been invented in the last 40 years that is absolutely required to keep an OS/Application stack working. Sure your OS now has support for 3d headsets, that doesn't mean that it should fail to continue playing games when the user doesn't have that hardware, it just means they don't get that experience, or the games that only work in that environment aren't compatible.

Its not actually that hard, windows/linux on x86 prove that its possible to run newer OSs and frequently applications on old hardware, and in the case of windows frequently without upgrading drivers for decades because the underlying driver API/ABI is extended rather than replaced.

EX, there is hardly a game in place that requires the ray tracing features of the newer RTX/etc series GPUS, but there are plenty of games that support that feature at the same time they work without it.

I love Discord for some usecases but a while ago I pressed the mute button to talk to my brother sitting next to me and my discord friend made a joke about what I said while muted.

I double-checked Discord and the mic icon was displaying as muted but I could still talk to my friend regardless.
I'm fascinated by your last point. Are you saying that being deaf impedes your written communication ? As a layman I would have thought that written communication would be a godsend.

Cause why should we trust these companies to be honest?
Russian oil can just be replaced with American or Saudi oil. They produce a lot but I don’t think this helps reduce demand for oil other than high prices making green alternatives relatively cheaper. Higher prices also means that more people invest in oil and gas exploration and drilling.
A better way to do this sort of thing is not an actual "delete", but a "cryptographic delete". The data should be encrypted, and you just delete the key. The data is then unrecoverable everywhere, including backups. Of course you probably don't want to just nuke the key, but disable it for some period of time, and then nuke it.
Apparently not. This 1991 document [0] says the GPHS [1] heat source's iridium cladding has an upper operating temperature limit of 1,300 °C (1,573 K). There's a suggestion this could be safely raised to 1,500 °C. (This is the structural part that contains the Pu-238 fuel; the plutonium itself could be hotter than this, and the thermoelectric junction is much colder).

(Note the reason given for this limit is to guarantee that, if this capsule accidentally falls to Earth, the cladding has the mechanical performance to stay intact on impact. If iridium gets too hot, its strength is permanently degraded (so it says). I suspect if you voided this requirement -- if you created a separate of class of spacecraft "no longer capable of impacting earth" -- the limit could be raised much higher).

While I would love to work for Meta due to engineering challenges & caliber of their engineers but sometimes I wonder if I would be able to sleep at night.

Makes me wonder if those engineers who worked for Nazis through IBM felt any remorse later, or if they were able to compartmentalize their work from their personal lives.
Right, you do this small act of service because you are in love with your partner. Ideally not even because it makes her happy, but because it makes you happy to make her happy.

The upshot of the article, IMO, is that they were no longer in love.

And that lack of love became most apparent by observing all the tiny acts of service that people in love do for each other, and people who are merely co-habitating and perhaps also co-parenting, do not give a flying fuck about and use as a safe thing to argue about instead of admitting the truth.
Cartels smuggle hundreds of millions of dollars through the actual banking system. It's scary how connected they are. I was very surprised.
I'm still not sure how SIGIL only got a 2019 runner up. A 5th Episode of the original DOOM, made by John Romero, which was completely awesome, kicked ass and had a soundtrack by Buckethead? I fail to see how any of the competitors could have matched it.
I dunno. Everyone fairly-publicly shares their entire friend network and what they had for lunch, now, usually under their real name.
Also I wonder if, using similar principles to a heat pump's operation, you could still get juice out of stored heat at lower temperatures. Surely you can have this hot graphite sitting at under 2000°C, heat some fluid/gas to say 1000°C, and then compress the gas to increase its temperature? Surely that would be the ideal solution anyway, since you don't want your hot graphite to become a chunk of useless heat simply for dropping below temp briefly.

On the topic of heat pumps, you could also use a TPV for geothermal power. Since there are no moving parts and presumably no huge steam engine installation, it would be more feasible to have one of these in your back yard. The grid powers a heat pump, you compress the fluid till it hits 2000°C, and your TPV extracts power. The heat pump itself is >100% efficient, so overall you can steal a fair bit of electricity from the ground. Right?
I thought the same thing but in the past I've also found the official python documentation to be somewhat verbose. Maybe these days I'd appreciate it more.

I always found the MDN documentation striking a better balance of being in-depth but not an essay.
This narrative doesn't really ring true to me. In any case, if you're saying that this result indicates that the system is no better than a bag of words model, doesn't that indicate that humans are equally no better, considering the errors made by the two commenters in this thread?

To me it just seems like a query that is likely to trip any imperfect entity up, since a "when" question usually implies that the event in question is known to have happened.

The author makes it clear that these things were communicated to him. No one needed to read anyone's mind. He just felt like it wasn't a big deal, so he chose not to change his habits.
A healthy relationship involves giving and taking - it isn't bullying to have certain occasional needs. Nobody on earth is perfect, we all come with some quirks - because we only have one pass through life it can be difficult to tell what's reasonable and what's unfairly demanding, those making demands a third party would call unreasonable are often blind to it themselves... that said most relationships will compromise on arrangements either partner needs to operate healthily. My SO happens to suffer from absolutely atrocious migraines that can take them out for weeks at a time - I am flexible for accommodations on this point and they're flexible on my own needs, even if the exchange is uneven it may still be desirable to stay in a relationship that adds a lot to your life in other ways. Each individual needs to make the decision that's right for them.

On the topic of your anxiety, if you discuss it with your partner there is a good chance that through communication you'll become better at functioning as a unit then you could on your own.
One Google feature that I miss terribly is hard filtering.

Used to be if you included "term" or -"term" you'd only get results that did/n't include those terms. But it seems Google has gone all in on the "I don't think you really meant that" approach [], and the hard filters have become suggestions at best.

[] Ok, I know it's probably because they're switching more and more to semantic search and ML, but they could retain the hard filters on top.

The touch bar is like an idea that works really well in your head. It has so many theoretical cool uses. But in reality I end up never using it for anything.. I would have been happy if the new one had the touch bar and the function keys, but that would have been extra cost for a feature people just aren't using.
TO AYBABTME:

>It's not hypocritical to want "your" side to win, and it's not from a lack of moral standing when you're motivating this taking-sides with "well, I like and wish democracies on people more than I like and wish brutal dictatorships on people".
Yes, it's a "our side is better than theirs" but I think hard and yes, our "side" is indeed better than NK's, Russia's, Iran's, Cuba's. I could contort myself in saying that our side is only better insofar as it makes me ~believe that it's better, behind a veil of fake democracy. But then that's be contortionism, and not a down to earth, pragmatic look at it.

>All sides in this stuff will play realpolitik and use their armies and kill and what not. But at the end of the day, where do you want to live? In which of these regimes is life preferable?

I agree that this is the correct framework to think about things, discarding the chaff of what is fair, good guys, and bad guys.

However, I don't think that where I would want to live translates to my country can do no wrong.

For example, I would rather live in the US than Cuba, but I don't think that warrants an invasion and regime change in Cuba. I also don't think it warrants sanctions on Cuba.

I think life in the US is better than most countries, but I have a moral and logical framework that usually opposes foreign intervention and coercion.

That is to say, I don't think the US has an moral obligation to be the world police and initiate regime change around the globe
For me personally the second. But I am sure that regardless of what we think regarding what he did, we can all agree that it's a shame that someone like that won't be around to work on cool tech due to his sentencing, kinda like with Hans Reiser.
From google's point of view, it's not second guessing you. It just associates words it decides are similar. You'd probably accept results for "dead generals", "killed generals", or "killed commanders". To google, dead = killed, generals = commanders, Russian = Ukranian, and moon = mars. It will expand the meanings of words until it has a page full of results and ads to show you.
Exactly. You continue to change until finally you reach a breaking point and the relationship is destroyed. Alternatively, you change on some things, push back on others, and try to reach compromises when you can. If your partner refuses to accept anything other than "victory" in every conflict, hopefully at least you learn this before you've sunk 20 years into the marriage.

There are many cheap system-on-a-chip microcontrollers that have enough computing power for many basic uses for which RPi is overkill, and some GPIO and built in wifi and/or bluetooth wireless, and they support dev frameworks like arduino or micropython.

Another comment mentioned a bunch of other models, but I had some fun with the Espressif ESP32 platform where the bulk chips are like $4 each (depending on quantity) but there are some nice beginner-friendly devkits using the same chips for $15 like https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/atom_matrix or https://shop.m5stack.com/collections/m5-controllers/products... that are sufficient for a bunch of tasks.

This used to be a feature of Google Search. It then moved from the Google Account to Chrome. I'm not sure if it still exists in the Chrome browser. It can be done with addons but of course that doesn't feed back to Google.

It does surprise me that Google wouldn't want to capture this signal. Maybe it is too susceptible to abuse?
I've been trying to buy one (bluetooth). I'm on headset #3, advertised as having a mute button, like the previous 2, which does absolutely nothing, like the previous 2.

I'd gladly shell out 100 bucks for a bluetooth headset with a real mute button, which just cuts off the mic, instead of telling the PC to do something (which the PC apparently won't do without custom drivers, which I can't install on my company-issued laptop, and which I wouldn't trust either).

Bonus if it's 1 ear only, I find those (esp. the ones with the arc overhead) more comfortable in long sessions, and my job has a lot of those.

Can anyone point me at one known to actually work? Thanks!
And what do you do about this discomfort? Asking for a friend who is also uncomfortable with that "guidance".

On Macos, there is an indicator dot in the status bar, on all chat apps, the mic dot is always active while the camera dot does turn off when the camera is disabled. The most likely situation is that turning the mic and camera on at the OS level has delay which is acceptable for turning on video but not for audio where you want to be able to respond to something quickly.
Always judge companies on how they handle a crysis, not on how they do when everything runs smoothly.
So why did they publish the text now then (other than obviously for self-promotion)?

Why not finishing their research first, discussing with lawyers how not get sued, and contacting the company about it so that they can fix it or comment on it, and only then publishing the proper, responsible research that is actually useful to someone?
I always thought the reason for due dates was to prevent the worst kinds of yak shaving from taking over a project's bandwidth.
It looks like someone asked for a glyph that would look like a chart with a downward trending zigzag, someone ended up getting the instructions and drew this thing, and the request proceeded bunched with other requests through the process with no one adequately challenging that the glyph really looks like what it's supposed to look like.

And yeah, actually a downward zig zag on a x/y plot glyph would be useful to have.

Like "chart with downwards trend" added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010, 25 years after "right angle with downward zig zag" was proposed and included.

I imagine it's to avoid getting sued by the company behaving poorly. Companies bring lawsuits against good-faith security researchers all the time to try to silence them, so if you were a researcher, why would you expect the one company among the several you researched who's potentially misbehaving to not misbehave by trying to sue you into silence?
Problem is so many websites have these arbitrarily low password lengths that usually max out at 20 characters.
Three times 50%? So 337.5%+ of your salary pre-first hop? I assure you, the far majority will not just get offers for that, if they can even find a job willing to make such a jump in comp. They'll be looking for those offers themselves. If only for the fact most devs are still in the first 5 years of their career.
Conventional trains that run under wires can also dump excess braking energy into the overhead. That seems feasible even if you had to have your resistive heating elements somewhere outside the tunnel system.
For Python programming I would say 100% of the time you should look the answer up in the official manual for a well-defined problem (delete a file) because the manual is correct, well-written, etc. It's astonishing how often Google and Bing snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on queries like this.

If you go looking in splogs, spam overflow and other spam sites at best you are going to get wrong answers, at worse you will get answers that "aren't even wrong".
Vietnam is certainly a lot more relaxed than it used to be. That coincides with the world deciding to do business with them.

So far, the track record of “cut off all interactions with the country until they instate the government we want” doesn’t have a good track record. Iran, Cuba, and North Korea are still doing the same thing they were doing 50 years ago. Thinking another 50 years will change things is insanity. Let’s stop continuing this obviously failed experiment.

Sanctions are potentially effective in the short term. Once they reach the scale of entire human lifespans, you’re just making the people suffer for your own moral superiority.
The deletion of customer data was engineering mistake, that is not what I was talking about

The Negative fall out was not due to the deletion of customer data, as the Story and multiple customers have stated the negative fall out was the SILENCE / lack of communications, which is Sales / Customer Service not engineering

As the comment I was replying to noted while engineering was trying to recover from what might possibly be the biggest outage in the history of the company Sales was partying and not handling customer communications

That (the failure to communicate with customers) should be a resume generating event of all leadership customer service / sales. It will not be because sales will simply redirect their failure on to engineering in the exact same manner you just have
Of course not. You cannot make lemonade with cheese.

Yes. Scratching your own itch is one of the funnest parts of scripting.

I made simple script that converts DB ids output per line that you'd get from a query into a comma separated line with a one line bash script.

e.g. converts:

1

2

3

to:

1, 2, 3

Since I do a lot of querying it is very helpful. To achieve the same thing in Excel is a fucking nightmare.

The cool part is when I feed it like 50000 lines of input how relatively quick it does it.

>Even so, it usually took repeating half a dozen times or more before my significant other exhibited any reaction beyond dismissal (i.e. moving past "It's just a cup. It shouldn't bother you.").

At least you actually repeated yourself half a dozen times. Many people would throw a fit about "you're not listening" before then.

Every so often I want to derive a fraction from a decimal value, such as 0.571 => 4/7. The key point is I want good approximations, not exact values. That is, I rather get 4/7 than 571/1000. I had found a tool at one point that did it, but it stopped working, so I made my own.

I see you are out of touch with the housing market. Zillow doesn't give an average but most of the homes listed in Fremont there are above $1.3M, more like 1.5-1.8M if you want something bigger than 1200 sqft. If you filter by >1500 sqft everything starts at 1.5M+. So no, there's no 6000sqft "average" home, these are all starter homes averaging 1.5-1.8M. Then factor in that most houses get 100-200k over asking price during the insane bidding process.

> If you make only 100k with no savings or partner you might be priced out of that 6000ft average home. Most people will buy as a couple, have a down payment and get help from parents which puts you at a disadvantage but it is still possible

Do you listen to what you're saying? A top 10% earner in the region needs to buy as a couple and get help from parents to afford a _starter home_? So everyone else that's under the 90th percentile is just screwed?

> Top 1% nationwide is: 538,926 Top 10% in bay area: 534,600

90th percentile income in 2018 in the Bay was $384k [1]. Someone in the top 10% of incomes should not be struggling to afford a basic home with 3 bedrooms in a mediocre area.

Well, their explanation makes sense. These are multi-tenant environments where not every tenant was affected; sensibly, the backups appear divided by environment, not tenant. You can’t blindly revert to an environment’s last backup in this scenario, although you’d think they would have done it before.
