It's the year Linux Gaming enters the race. I see it as the rising tide: not a world beater out of the gate, but will slowly and steadily improve to overtake the backrunners.

In short, the Android console craze (OUYA, soulja BOI thing) of 2012ish will probably happen again with a mini-Linux console craze. At least one other PC vendor will release a console or a handheld. If there was a Sega still in the race that were looking to just become a wrapper rather than a full product Chromium Edge style then they would switch.
Yeah wish I could too but didn’t have the capital to bag a chalet and sort things out with my silly friends and I think have a wedding at the and weekend. Also I miss it was when later in the year and was sunny outside at you cool just roll around in a pile of minirigs and buckfast. Also the dichotomy of us making our chalet immaculate and some other person throwing a kettle through their window and us both getting the deposit back
Sounds like something easily repeatable in the US, or that almost happened here recently...

I've always heard ringing at very high frequencies; 17-20kHz when it's quiet. Can't remember ever not hearing this. Sometimes the ringing has pulsating increases in loudness synchronized with my heartbeat. Also have a little bit of tinnitus on both ears, different frequencies.

Never really considered the high-frequency experience a problem; it's just always been part of my sensory experience.
I think it's a bit disingenuous to read "People here want lockdowns and masks to not work" and instantly paint it as being in favor of "pro-authoritarian" measures. I personally value individual freedoms but not at a level that erodes the individual freedoms of others. I prefer the freedom to not be murdered to the freedom to murder and I'll gladly accept the freedom to not get sick in exchange on some limits on what restaurants I can go to - that doesn't mean I'm on board with everything Stalin ever said.

We always live in the grey zone - there aren't absolute good actions we can take in the world so every choice needs to be a balnce.
I've never heard of any company being punished. I've been fortunate in my career and only ever signed one non-compete agreement. It was in California, and before such things had been struck down by the courts (1980). I took the time to read it before I signed, and it basically said that any invention I produce henceforth (even after my employment was terminated) would belong to Teledyne. I knew it would never stand up to scrutiny in court so I wasn't too worried about signing it.
I've always been a bit suspicious that despite having seemingly no way of making revenue they manage to plaster every corner of the internet with their paid ads. Like, aren't they supposed to be a damn nonprofit or something? Makes absolutely no sense.
On second thoughts, that should be 100: I stuffed up mixing households versus individuals.

“The final sample consists of 4.5 million returns, corresponding to 8.9 million individuals. Individuals in the sample were randomly assigned to receive a letter (86%) or to a control group (14%). One letter, addressed to the taxpayer(s), was sent per return. Hence, randomization was conducted at the household level.”

So 86% of 4.5 million households were sent a letter, and that led to a 1.3% percentage point increase in signups compared to the 14% of households that were not sent a letter. They are then saying that those 1.3% of extra signups led to saving ~700 lives. There is the risk of a selection bias because we don’t know why those extra 1.3% signed up versus those that didn’t.

The actual paper uses months, since everyone dies, so zero lives can be saved in the long term.
I mean to be fair, bailing them out, was also bailing us out. Banks can borrow some of people's money to fund mortgage loans. It just happened many loans at the time did so, and soured due to irresponsible lending. If they didn't bail them out, and you had 20k deposited in a bad bank; good chance it was simply gone. Bailing out the banks, guarantied that the innocent people got their deposited money back.
Actually, the main risk factor seems to be age, which is also why Hong Kong was hit so hard. Otherwise, I don't think we can say much about the difference between Chinese and western comorbidity risk factors...not without data anyone we are not likely to get access to.

I'm a hiring manager and coder. This last 12 months alone, i've interviewed 100+ engineers.

Bootcampers have these common problems, caused by the bootcamp's perverse incentives:

- Inflated sense of self worth. Often, they expect to be senior in 2 years, and consider themselves "experts" after leaving the bootcamp.
- Inflated entitlement, making placing them within teams difficult.
- Inflated sense of what the job market is like, how hard you have to work, and what an engineers learning curve looks like.

This is a generalisation, and there are outliers, but I find the above to be true. They're not students, they're customers, and they're lied to in order to make a sale.

I'm self taught, no qualifications; I have no objection to self-learning ... but the bootcamps do real damage.
>since DDG isn't open source like searx, how do we know there is ANY truth to their marketing claims?

You wouldn't know this even if it was open source. Open source does nothing here. Looking at the source code will not tell you their data retention policies or what is actually stored in their databases. It will also not guarantee the source that you see matches what is on their servers.
Yes, they do (in fact, they have custom hardware to do it), but the power budget is very, very small, so there have to be tradeoffs made, both in terms of the processing and in terms of the actual transducer.
With respect to the Mozilla project (not so much to its current state) - that does not mean much. Different people were involved with it, and that was 25 years ago.
We've definitely considered it! Unfortunately both of our families are from the same area and it is very high CoL. Not only parents, but grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles all live within 30 minutes of us... Luckily our parents help out with the finances a bit to help us through the first base stretch of our mortgage.

While it would ease things for us financially to move, we'd be giving up A LOT with family to do so.
Would you apply the same logic to a 4-year bachelor's degree?
USA, PNW specifically.
>> there aren't 10% useful ones.

> 100%. Any functionality NFTs offer already has a less technical solution.

So according to both of you, that means with 100% certainty it is going to completely go away after this crash; guaranteed?

Are you both sure? I would not argue against it completely going away entirely with such certainty and absolutism.
Closer relatives would be SARS-CoV-1 and MERS. Thankfully -2 is nowhere near as virulent as either.
It's frustrating when anti-lockdown folks don't differentiate between lockdown now, when the disease is basically endemic and vaccines make COVID a non-issue for healthy/abled individuals, vs. in March 2020 when there was no vaccine, a mask shortage, a ventilator shortage, no consensus on transmission (the whole aerosol vs droplets shit), and just general pandemonium.
Almost worth it.
If you found out about such a ring, got visibility into what they were doing, and didn't immediately seek competent legal advice - you would be an idiot.
Yeah I've definitely thought about this as well! A 6 month to 1 year sabbatical could be massively helpful in sort of being a reset, and providing clarity. It seems like more developers are doing this. It's a bit hard for me to justify the opportunity cost of what I could make and invest in that year, but you do only live once...

For me at least, doing some freelance or contract work during that time to help cover my living expenses would ease my mind. Of course, then it's not really a full mental reset.
Both the .Net Runtime and the JVM provide this functionality for all the languages they support ... I mean it requires a bit of work for the languages to acctually enable this in a proper workflow, but C#, Java, Kotlin, Visual Basic, ... all support this (which I must say makes even testing a joy. Test not succeeding? Step through and if something goes wrong, just change the code, press F8 and it restarts at the function call or sometimes even the basic block you changed) I believe Visual Studio supports this even for a C++ without a .Net Runtime.

Microsoft calls it "edit and continue". Not sure what Oracle/IBM calls it but it works.

It's not guaranteed to work and there's edge cases where it silently corrupts stuff. Function pointers of course don't update, for example. The Clojure way is cleaner.

There have been tech demos showing that LLVM can do this for C++ compiled to machine code. I don't know if it's really working anywhere, but it certainly can be made to work if someone puts in enough effort.

I once actually established a debugging connection from eclipse to a telephony server running on JVM that was actually serving calls and live-replaced the dialplan handling code, stopping a ddos without making things worse. It even works for that case. Not something I'd advise doing, but I love that this can actually work ...
I don't know what kinds of things you're doing on the JVM, but the only situations where I've seen these kinds of errors were either a) batch jobs on massive amounts of data (which yeah... it figures that they could OOM, not sure how you'd prevent that), or b) a serious error in application logic.

In general, I don't really encounter these problems and neither do most other people who write for the JVM.
Damn, get the body bag
RONALD BAUER was arrested in the United Kingdom. CURTIS WILLIAM LEHNER, COURTNEY VASSEUR, and JULIUS CSURGO were arrested in Canada. ANTHONY KORCULANIC was arrested in Spain. PETAR MIHAYLOV was arrested in Bulgaria. Finally, DOMENIC CALABRIGO was arrested in the Bahamas. The United States intends to seek the extradition of BAUER, LEHNER, VASSEUR, CSURGO, KORCULANIC, MIHAYLOV, and CALABRIGO to the United States. CRAIG AURINGER, a citizen of Canada and resident of the United Kingdom, HASAN SARIO, a citizen and resident of Turkey, and DANIEL FERRIS, a citizen of the United Kingdom and resident of Monaco, were also charged and remain at large.

The arm of justice is looong. I hope Turkey and others resist the extradition orders though and say "too bad" or as a joke not "until you investigate pelosi". Yeah I hate crime as much as the next guy, but the US cannot play world police forever.
Sometimes latency does not really matter and is not as important as jitter (variance of latency). Classic example of this is real-time live video streaming over satellite networks.

Interestingly the article is written by one of Aspera's vendors, a popular proprietary software and that uses FASP protocol for fast bulk data transfer [1]. The alternative is that you can use open protocols, for example UDT, to transfer enormous e-VLBI data for radio astronomy [2],[3].

I think it's assumed that a natural-born citizen is less likely to have a hidden agenda favoring a different nation. Or looking at it from the other side, more likely to have a vested interest in the good of the nation.
> I don't think your comments about moving to China are at all productive to the dialog though.

I want to address this. Why is it not productive? One great thing about the world is that we have different jurisdictions that value different things, so they can compete and like minded people can potentially get together somewhere and live as they want. Many people are moving to Florida e.g. because of its approach to covid. If you want the opposite, and your initial comment I understood to basically be support for China's approach, there are jurisdictions you can go to that provide that. It's better for you because your priorities are supported, and it's better for people in other places with different priorities. What's not productive is trying to lobby the government to force everyone around you to behave the way you want them to.

Seriously, if you support China's approach, and value it more than what you're getting in Canada, move to China, don't try and make Canada any more authoritarian
They sure sound like a Microsoft shell company. Because nobody that's fully conscious will ever deliberately use Bing they had to get creative and rebrand it with the usual privacy and safety buzzword slogans that VPNs have perfected in the last years.
One possibility is to make it open source like Moodle and sell consulting and services around it instead.
> Meanwhile roundabouts can safely and efficiently move staggering amounts of traffic.

I don't find this to be accurate--at least in the US and in my limited experience in the UK. In computer terms, roundabouts don't guarantee progress under contention.

Roundabouts seem to work when there is semi-continuous, medium-level amounts of traffic. They are better than stop signs, better than unsensored signals, and probably comparable to sensored traffic signals (which are more expensive).

However, once the traffic becomes high, roundabouts are TERRIBLE. Stop signs and controlled intersections at least guarantee some progress while someone may sit at a roundabout entrance almost indefinitely since "give way to traffic on the roundabout" is the normal rule. This is particularly bad when you are entering a roundabout between the most popular inlet and the most popular outlet.
Not clear on need for fsync and sync.

Are those for networked like NTFS or just as security against crashes.

Logically on a single system there would be no effect assuming error free filesystem operation. Unless I'm missing something.
I agree, but it's still problematic. A couple concerns off the top of my head:

1. This can impact behavior of the labor force despite lack of enforcement. Not everyone can afford to pay a lawyer to review their employment contract, and not everyone will have the knowledge to know if such terms are applicable or enforceable to their situation. This causes fear and hesitancy which in turn drives behavior and decision making.

2. If you're unfortunate enough, there's nothing stopping a company from attempting to make an example out of you. Even knowing it's unlikely a former employer will come after you, why should individuals be forced to take on that risk to earn a living?

Most operating systems log things —- it’s a feature. Most consumer software collects telemetry —- irrespective of platform.

Have a look at what a typical Android phone sends out! Including your GPS location! Apple isn’t immune either because the Facebook SDK that’s included with everything would make the NSA blush. TikTok even tracks your phone motion sensor.

IMHO raging about 30-year old diagnostic features is misplaced anger. Be angry about how every piece of software now goes through these stages:

1) Opt-out telemetry only collecting the important stuff, we promise!

2) Okay, collecting it synchronously was a mistake and it slowed down everything for everyone that’s not sitting in our head office. We fixed it though, don’t worry!

3) Umm.. apparently some people are behind corporate web proxies which makes the async code leak threads and melt CPUs. We fixed it though!

4) Some people have used the newly added proxy support to inspect the encrypted blob. We promise that it was an honest mistake collecting every single point of information we possibly could about your system including mouse movements and key presses. Don’t worry, we fixed it! We now “anonymise” the information. Don’t worry about why that’s in quotes.

5) Those socialist Europeans sued us when we said we deleted their data but it was still there when they reactivated their accounts. Oopsie! Our bad. We promise to “wipe” your data including telemetry when you request this form. Fill it out in triplicate and fax it to this Cayman Islands number please.

6) We can no longer sell our software in some jurisdictions. Don’t ask why or what that implies about how we treat our customers in other jurisdictions with weaker legal protections.
Great idea! This seems to work:

I would bet that no such ideological grounds would be found in discovery, even if it were true, unless the board are complete morons to discuss such things over email.

Instead, it is easy to expect they would discuss the sincerity of Musk's offer (the chance that they may accept it only for it to be retracted, as happened with the board membership offer), the plausibility of him having the required financing, the stock price today vs 6 months ago compared to the offer, and similar business discussions.

I also don't personally believe this is an ideological battle at all - it's much more likely to be a financial manouever or simple ego-driven ambition by Musk.
I looked it up for California and the best I could find is that if someone stops or slows inappropriately they could bear partial blame. Partial as in not all of it, so some of the blame stays on the person doing the rear ending. To me this infers that you are not following the book if you don't leave enough space to stop in time.

>What is it about driving that makes threads personal?

How did I make this personal? By using the pronoun "you"? I was doing that in a general sense and not targeted, which I thought you were doing as well in your own post.
I ditched DDG after it started to "downrank Russian disinformation". Thanks, I'll decide for myself where real disinformation belongs to. It became just another tool of western propaganda. I'm not sure if Google does that, but at least they don't paint themselves as good guys anymore.
We've found quite a few ways to tune DB testing to make it as light as possible but yea - it's still not free by any measure - you can ensure a sane base data set (any static data, all the table schemas) and have minimally necessary writes to set up test cases but you'll never get as close to pure in memory exercise.

I wonder if you could write a postgres shim layer to run your tests on a SQLite in-memory instance - though I guess you're at the whims of whatever that shim layer is doing matching actual postgres functionality bug for bug.
Quit using DDG when they decided to start censoring stuff. Been using brave search ever since, it's actually pretty good.
Would you be ok if Trump was setting mod team policy?

Like is this a we need a speech dictator even people I disagree with is better than chaos point of view?

Or is this a my point of view should be enforced on everyone and platforms should not be allowed to publish things I disagree with point of view?
I was literally wondering what would happen. ETFs are supposed to be algorithmically traded right?

There's a race condition between the poison pill being instated and the ETF updating their strategy. I wonder if a board could maliciously take advantage of that somehow.

I just wanted to say: I'm super anal by nature and I was fully expecting to have some criticism to make of your site or your language, but this is one of the most high-quality, well-thought-out projects I've seen. The sheer thoroughness of it is extraordinary. I especially love that you've written a proper reference for the language. Chapeau to you. This is better than some Google research projects I've seen.

I'd be really interested in the underlying theory, or any insights you had when writing this. I'm not quite old enough to really be familiar with Hypercard, so I may be missing something.

(I did spot a couple of minor typesetting mistakes, of course, haha. You've got 'anymore' ['any more'] on the '/comparison' page, and 'propogate' ['propagate'] in the reference.)

And there exists at least one field in Scotland in which there exists at least one sheep, at least one side of which is black.

The most important thing about bootcamps, and the reason the best ones produce people who are better-prepared than many CS programs, is because they provide real feedback from skilled coders on the code individual developers are producing.

You can no more replace bootcamps with internet websites than you can replace teachers with books: people need interactive experiences built on sound pedagogy to learn most effectively.

The reason the VC-funded bootcamps are scams is because they call what they do teaching without having any foundations in pedagogy or instruction and using un-qualified recent students as the only "instructors" looking at students' code.

That doesn't sound like a great excuse for an arbitration clause. Unless you're in a position to alter the contract, the terms of arbitration are chosen by your employer. They wouldn't set themselves up for failure by handing out too many protections by adding an arbitration clause; if the company doesn't benefit, they would avoid the clause.

I don't know the terms of your clause, but I haven't heard of any arbitration clause that's beneficial to the party not writing up the contract.

The bailout was required to keep the financial system running which keeps literally everything else running. Supply chains would have broken down overnight without the availability of capital. If the major financial firms had shut down it would have had much worse effects than people losing their savings.
