You can get the Mario Kart and Animal Crossing DLC as a one-time purchase, no subscription required.
I don't think you can emulate a TPM via software. You need a hook in the firmware and use SystemManagementMode/SMM, very likely.
That's a reasonable desire, but it's also not something that's supported by traditional BIOS - UEFI isn't any worse in this respect
Should I use the existing WebSocket connection for request/response operations?
The part where things are changed for no good reason.
For me, it's less about finding the best source and more about knowing how to detect and ignore obvious junk like "Top 10 Best X for Summer 2022!". Once you filter these out, you will often end up compiling your own list of good links.
It’s wild to read this thread, and see how much even HN readers have given up the idea of an objective reality. Wild, but also terrifying and depressing.
Opinions differs widely here.

My observations:

- I can get away with about half the memory on Linux vs Windows (significant contribution comes from not having to run VMs for docker and WSL, but also it seems applications and services use less memory on Linux.)

- I always used to use swap. These days it seems defaults in distro setups pushes one away from swap.

- For some reason I feel it worked better before (always w/swap).

- These days I feel I see some problems either I use swap or not.
Not his fault. The Champs-Élysées were almost pedestrian back then.
LiveView is easily the best implementation of this concept, shame Elixir is not more popular than it is.
The spurious "I'm just asking questions..." style rhetoric and a link to an embarrassing study leaves me unsure why this is the top comment on an article about gut microbiome?

The first study, the one which _narrator_ attempts to use to 'suggest ... linkage', between this fungus and 'homosexual behaviour' seems embarrassingly unworthy of being brought to people's attention. Is this comment intentionally made in bad faith?

The linked abstract fails to acknowledge the study covered 12 male and 8 female rabbits, or let on that the article itself is roughly a page and a half of prose nearly completely devoid of data and analysis.

Your SageHub link only provides the abstract, but does say two of the authors only ever authored one other article, which they again share, and the third author has only ever authored this one article.

Google Scholar[0] has both a link to the article[1] which is from 1987(!) and labels it as having only 3(!) citations.

Of the 3 citations, two are in German and so I am unable to speak on their contents, but each only have 1(!) subsequent citation.

The third[2] has 29 citations, which is a 300 page survey of "Advances in Rabbit Sciences", and only briefly references the effects of infertility on the female rabbits, completely ignoring the 'homesexuality linkage' claims, and uses the very soft language of 'possibly':

> Feeding female rabbits with mycelium from
Fusarium roseum produces infertility, possibly due
to contamination with the mycotoxin zearalenon,
which has effects similar to those of estrogen
(Nilsson et al., 1987).

Yeah, but the actual evidence that brand marketing works seems pretty sketchy.

That's partly why since we've got better measurement tech in the digital ads space we've seen a massive shift to performance marketing and solid, measurable results.

I recently read "Subprime Attention Crisis" by Tim Hwang and he believes that even the performance marketing space could suffer a decline too - but he could be overly pessimistic in that regard.
Also pretty obvious that this guy is no outdoorsman. He complains about not being able to get signal so he can call 911, but then he walks down a ravine and then down a dry river bed. In that situation, you need to climb UP, not down, and get as much elevation and clearance as possible.
But ExFAT lacks the FAT's virtues of being universally supported and royalty-free, yet still is a very dumb FS with no journal (which means unreliable) and no extended attributes (which means data-metadata separation impossible) so I don't see a reason for it to exist anywhere outside severely resource-limited embedded applications. I would rather use Ext4 everywhere for everything. Is the problem preventing wide adoption of Ext4 GPL?
> Real world objects rarely change design because of the costs involved

What an astonishing claim.

Fashion is too easy, you could maybe wiggle away from clothes not being "objects in the real world" although I assure you the Emperor aside they are exactly that.

How about cars?
Maybe it's because I'm on Firefox that all these images look identical. I have no idea what the author is talking about.

EDIT: nevermind, I see it now. The square in the last few images is slightly green when CSS is scaling it.

Linear interpolation in the HCL space is not equivalent to linear interpolation in a linear colorspace. For example in a linear colorspace if the interpolation goes from saturated blue to saturated yellow, then the the interpolation goes through gray, while in the HCL space the interpolation goes through more or less saturated colors.

The possible colors produced by a display remain a cube in a linear colorspace, which is a convex object, so all gradients remain available.
Just search Hacker News for metformin: it is actually discussed quite a lot, and there are tons of posts about this effect (whether it is actually true or not I don't know, but like: the citations you seek are extremely easy to find if you just take a few seconds to look).
Apparently, Nord Pool just is an electricity exchange market - I was aware those existed. I was more asking for a local electric company which changes prices daily (and allows me to know that before so I can adapt). At least in Germany, I am not aware of anyone offering that kind of contract, and I would love to see how that is implemented elsewhere.
Looking up the one host it's at Hetzner. With $100,000 on the line I would have spent the $60 to run a dedicated server in that datacenter.

> I doubt in 26 years you could optimize a tripe A title from today to the same extent.

It helps that in this very particular case it was made much easier for him by basically enabling optimizations in gameplay code (it's fairly unlikely you'd get that one for free these days). But look at the difference in quality of launch titles for the PS4 vs what's being released today - that's 7-8 years worth of development. It's not unreasonable to expect that with another 2x that we could make similar gains. I've worked on a few AAA games and seen the codebases (and more importantly the issue trackers and profiling data). Today lots of these problems are "known" but it's a tradeoff - do you spend a person-week on fixing a frame drop in an awkward area or do you spend it on an incremental improvement across the board.
All of this, and more, is already incorporated into the current stock market share price. So the stock is still under a massive overvaluation.
There's nothing "vulgar" whatsoever about cow dung. It is an eco-friendly, renewable material and commonly used for many sacred rituals in India.
> Even FAANG employees should not really sit on these to get the maturation of these stocks to cap gains

Why do people always mention this? You pay income taxes at vesting as if the entire stock was income. cap gains is only for the difference between vest price and selling if you hold it for a year.
You clearly need to spend more time in a JavaScript team. Knock that nonsense right out of you :-D
Yeah, I took that to mean designers get bored with apps and websites after six to seven years.

So glad to see low-contrast, energy-consuming drop-shadows go away though. Is translucency gone now too so I can get my battery cycles back?
I check Hacker News regularly for credible information. The comments help me with this.
No point rushing these things!
Perhaps he uses the Mac Studio for more important work?
There's three things, how prosperous the world will be overall, how prosperous the country will be overall, and then each individual.

Even if the world economy stops growing, if the world population plateaus at a similar time, the standard of living for each individual may not go down with it.

With renewables and digital goods, we have also managed to start decoupling commerce of physical goods from economic growth, and I think it is likely, economic growth will continue for the foreseeable future despite having fewer resources.
Wow, yeah. I have done some hobby work with digital colors and rendering and I had no idea how used to the visual artifacts from math done on sRGB values directly I was that I just assumed a "fancy" transformation. Thanks for the insight.
You mean like OPEC?

Also, I did not even mention price or supply fixing: prices can be stable for reasons outside governmental and/or monopolistic-evildoer's direct control.
Correct, brutalism is concerned with total utilitarianism and a complete lack of artifice (the material is irrelevant, although a lot of brutalist architecture is made from concrete). It contrasts itself with minimalism by taking it to the extreme and creating an almost anti-human aesthetic.

This makes it appropriate for buildings that are looking to evoke anti-human ideals; churches and monasteries (divinity of God over the profanity of man), as well as many governmental buildings of the period (intimidation and hopefully an inhuman/machine-like approach to orderliness and bureaucracy)
Find one well-reputed or authoritative source and then find a second independent source to verify and corroborate the claims of the first. Basic standard of journalism. When a claim is made, the burden of independently verifiable proof is on the person making the claims.
As a Vert.x fanatic, LMAX Disruptor is one of the few technologies for JVM that makes my jaw drop. So cool.
1. They no longer need to package bios bootloaders

2. They no longer need to support bios booting in the forums - no asking "how do you boot this? Bios, EFI? Have you tried the other?", no telling people "EFI is required for feature X"

3. They no longer need to maintain the bios boot documentation

4. They no longer need to maintain the bios path in the installer/boot media

5. They no longer need to test the bios paths (or hope they don't break and be ashamed if they don't)

6. This makes it easier to switch to a EFI-only default bootloader (instead of Grub 2, which can do both)

Is this massive? No, it's possible to keep maintaining BIOS support. But it's not just freeing space on the package mirrors either.
Even if ROI on ads go down, it just means when one company's budget is exhausted, other companies will display their ads now for a keyword since there is a bidding system for ads.

On the slowdown front, some companies work in industries with inelastic demand. They advertise to stay in forefront and these ads won't go away.

Then there are companies in the want-based sector and they rely heavily on ads. I don't see this changing even with a reducing consumer appetite. They can't afford to be out-marketed as long as there is demand of any kind.

The only place where I see some reduction would be in the VC-funded consumer space in developing markets that rely heavily on cash backs and incentives as a way to get customers onboarded. I feel there will be a major push back on them.
I think the best advice is not to take people's advice!

Everyone's life, stress tolerance, maturity, health, wisdom etc. is very different.

Also, the companies are different: OKTA has a very specific market with a relatively well-known product-market fit. Other businesses don't know their product market fit.

Having a family is a big commitment and changes everything related to priorities so comparing the family "man" with the singleton is not correct.

The most important thing imho is about how you are able to deal with failure and your expectations for mistakes. The experienced founder is not necessarily wiser than you, they have probably just learned that things don't always work out. Once you accept that you will need to work, let's say, 80 hours per week average to make a startup happen but at the same time, it might not work, you might have to fire people, you might let down shareholders, you will need to have hard conversations with your close family; if you can handle that without feeling too much regret then you might be OK.

The rest of us end up having to cope with the fact that we don't deal with failure well and take things too personally ;-)
Then would a better interview technique be something like - here is a spec for an algorithm. Now implement it. I see very little value in having people studying algorithm implementations for interviews.

Of course, knowing about specific algorithms is handy, and adjusting the question to find an appropriate spec to implement for a given problem could be a nice touch.

I think that either approach above is strictly better than implementing algorithms from memory and would produce a far better signal.
Drawing the line at 10 years old is ... way too close for comfort. I could understand to drop i386 because it basically amounts to another entire architecture, and besides it seems with i386 you are also generally RAM limited which makes it harder to use a recent DE.

But a 10 year old computer is perfectly capable of running even the latest version of the heavy-est DEs.

Also, "working UEFI supports" means working enough to boot Windows and not much else. Kernel bugzilla still has lots of UEFI bugs open for early UEFI firmware, and even not-so-early UEFI firmware (cough efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma ).

... and this is why I prefer desktop apps like Lightroom Classic CC over their web-based equivalents. This and broken shortcut keys, e.g. Ctrl+R shell reverse search in a web IDE.
I think you are misunderstanding the problem. The underlying question is not how a government with good will can offer public broadband. The question is how public broadband can exist if the government is actively passing laws to block public broadband. Good ideas for how the government can fix this problem won't help.
Forced colors explained: A practical guide
This is what I was thinking. I didn't find the video here on HN. A few weeks ago my 11 year old son told me about it. Like a lot of kids his age, becoming a YouTuber is aspirational, and his reaction was "that is crazy" but it was also "this guy just raised the ante on Mr. Beast." It's only going to make some YouTubers try to top it with some kind of dangerous Johnny Knoxville-type stunt.
Having worked on this in Skia (and so Chrome, Android) for a good while, I can vouch this is an issue browser/phone developers would have liked to fix a long time ago, but have kept by default for compatibility with old expectations. A lot (~all) of web/app design was and still is done with this broken interpolation in mind, which then all breaks when math is done in a way that more accurately models light.

It’s a bit of a chicken and egg problem that we can really only fix by allowing content to explicitly opt-in to linear working color profiles. And sadly that’s not going to solve everything either: while a linear profile is good for color interpolation, sRGB encoding is ideal for brightness interpolation. You’re stuck choosing between ugly red-green interpolation and nice white-black (sRGB) or between nice red-green and ugly white-black (linear). There are some more complex color spaces that do try to be the best of everything here, but I’m not aware of any browser or OS providing support for working with these perceptual color spaces.

A similar problem comes up when trying to manage color gamut on screens and systems that are intentionally blown out to look vivid, vibrant, shiny… looking at you Samsung phones. Any properly color-managed image there looks incredibly dull compared to the bright defaults you’ve grown accustomed to. If we take 0xff red to mean “full sRGB red”, that’s much less bright these days than if we just assume it means “as red as the screen will go.” It’s much like how TVs are (hopefully were?) set in the store in bright shiny mode to induce you to buy them, not set to reproduce colors accurately.

Right. "paid advertisements were not key to the IRA's activity" That makes sense. Buying ads isn't a massive right wing-Russian conspiracy. But who cares now? lol.
What puzzles me most is that two days after the announcement of the vulnerability and the release of the patched Oracle JDK, there is still no patched version of OpenJDK for most distributions.

We're running some production services on OpenJDK and CentOS and until now there are only two options to be safe: shutdown the services or change the crypto provider to BouncyCastle or something else.

The official OpenJDK project lists the planned release date of 17.0.3 as April 19th, still the latest available GA release is 17.0.2 (https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDKUpdates/JDK+17u).

Adoptium have a large banner on their website and until now there is not a single patched release of OpenJDK available from them (https://github.com/adoptium/adoptium/issues/140).

There are no patched packages for CentOS, Debian or openSUSE.

The only available version of OpenJDK 17.0.3 I've seen until now seems to be the Archlinux package (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jdk17-openjdk/). They obviously have their own build.

How can it be that this is not more of an issue? I honestly don't get how the release process of something as widely used as OpenJDK can take more than 2 days to provide binary packages for something already fixed in the code.

This shouldn't be much more effort than letting the CI do its job.

Edit: Typo.
It's a bit sad that the author went to the depths of buying this domain, create this page and then don't provide a correct library they think it's appropriate like https://colorjs.io/

There's an article with a much more sympathetic approach:

Not sure if this is trolling or not, but the closing HTML tag misses a > :)
Yes aware of that but looking at it from an XY perspective it looks like the thing escalated from the approach.

Regarding USB / TB external disks, they do support SMART but only if the controller does forward the info to the Mac. The Mac doesn't give a shit about what's on the other side of the controller. This is where you get some reporting and some not. DriveDx is being used to circumvent that issue by I assume intercepting the commands and forwarding them to the drive. And of course at this point you have to break the secure boot chain by loading kexts that can intercept the disk traffic.

Now worthy of mentioning here, brew installed smartmontools does report SMART status fully on my 970 EVO in the cheapest USB-C enclosure on amazon. It doesn't report it in disk utility but does on the terminal.

YMMV but the problem here may be using the wrong analysis tool or the wrong migration approach.

The disk health and integrity doesn't ensure the data integrity either as it may fail after the health is checked so the validation should be done at a higher level (sha256 the whole migration before and after etc)
Content quality is the problem, like what happened with cable.

They are selling attention addiction like Facebook without caring about quality recently. Ex: Korean copycat shows and "documentaries", just because both categories tend to rate higher on imdb. Seems like a decision a PM will make, based on metrics to improve profit, not quality - i.e. give users what they want, even if it is bad for them (or the business) in the long term.
You would think being an ass was a human right the way some people whine.
>Army didn’t think to inform ATC of what they were up to?

Not only was ATC informed... you could go on public websites like adsb exchange and see exactly who the plane is.
This is a tricky one, but in my main area of interest (energy) I ask myself whether a source is "falsifiable", or whether it would be theoretically possible to come up with some way to prove their claim wrong:

Claim 1: "Wind turbines are committing genocide upon wildlife and if they weren't subsidised by Daddy Government they wouldn't exist"

Claim 2: "The levelised cost of energy is $40/MWh for electricity generated by wind versus $50/MWh for electricity generated by natural gas, and capacity factor for wind can be 35-40% in the UK"

It's a little bit of an extreme comparison, but if I feel like it would be impossible to find a counterexample to prove a source wrong, then I find it less trustworthy. If it would theoretically be easy to disprove the source, but my independent searches keep confirming it? I trust it much more.

And there's one other trick: if I don't have a basic grounding in a certain field then I will just reserve judgement. I am pretty happy to evaluate claims across engineering disciplines, but once it gets into medical fields for example? I just outsource my judgement to government health websites - they might be wrong but they are NEVER going to be more wrong than me.
I crack open the latest textbook. For fun. Multiple sources helps as well. Podcasts, videos, and online articles.
Many displays are not calibrated well to do that test justice. Also if you have a high DPI display, then the browser could already scale that picture for you, screwing with the test. You should display those images with image pixels matching device pixels.

You can visually test your display calibration with [1], but you should ensure that the image is displayed 1:1, which might not be the case with your browser and hiDPI settings.

Fedora does not maintain any code related to legacy BIOS booting.

That is done by the maintainers of the bootloader packages.

What Fedora presumably intends is to remove all bootloader packages from the installation image.

In that case, the Linux kernel can be booted only by using its included EFI stub.

One less package in the installation image might be claimed to imply less maintenance work for Fedora, but in any case such maintenance work has nothing to do with the work done for maintaining legacy code.
