Color is not physics, confusingly.

The 'eye sensitivity response' mode is a color space. But it has problems. Notably, it can represent a lot of impossibly pure colors (because e.g. your red detectors have a lot of overlap with green so pure red acitivation is impossible).
More relevantly, a linear interpretation of this system does not match what people see. Perceived brightness is close to logarithmic. If the cell has double the activation, that looks like a constant increase in brightness.

Finally, the way we see color depends on the context, mostly the ambient light. This is largely (but not completely) captured by the idea of color-temperature / a white point. But there are also optical illusion effects around brightness and color.
I actually like this. If you start with 10 cents for the first year, it's $100 by year 10, $100k by year 20, and 100 mil. by year 30, around which it becomes impractical for any IP. So a decade for small projects, two decades for commercially successful stuff, and 3 decades for company-driving IP.
Turn over was very high. It was very dysfunctional for everyone except the two bosses at the top before the ceo. They controlled and manipulated all the information.
>The posters are correct, the Ukrainians might have staged the deaths.

I think you may be referring to the videos showing the Ukrainian solders dragging the corpses into place on the roads. This is a bad look for sure, but it is possible the Russians killed the people and the Ukrainian soldiers were placing the bodies the way they did for optics. Still shady, but you're right that we don't know for sure who is ultimately responsible for the deaths themselves. Probably both if we're being honest, after all, it is a war.
honestly at some point we should think about deprecating old code old stuff and i think 10 years might not be such a bad number, of course good deprecation policy would tell you for few releases before that something will get removed but its linux so even if they said we are removing BIOS support in fedora 40 everyone would cry

also it takes about same amount of code to boot BIOS and UEFI
I recently went through the interview process at a startup and got an offer at the end. The RSU and bonus schemes were so difficult to value that I just took another contracting gig with a simple hourly rate.

I'll keep my investments separate to my work, thank you.
The English word brutal comes from French or medieval Latin brutalis, brutus, meaning dull, stupid. Hence the word "brute". Savagely violent is only one of the meanings of the adjective. It also means "punishingly hard or uncomfortable" or "direct and lacking any attempt to disguise unpleasantness". These latter two meanings of "brutal" seem particularly apt to describe this architectural style; in fact it seems to mirror in the original meaning of "Béton brut" (though I am no speaker of French, so some nuance may be escaping me).

So, I'm really not sure that we've gained anything by this "debunking".
Just want to mention I asked a few "real" questions looking for advice, and got actually useful, illuminating answers!! This is very cool.
It's likely the inflammation that's causing the depression rather than any particular molecule produced by a bacterium though. I have the same experience with UC to the extent that taking steroids causes almost immediate relief of the depressive symptoms and I relapse when I taper. In my last flare, I tried to track depressive symptoms against CRP levels in my blood but being depressed, lost interest... Joking aside, I also wasn't getting the blood tests with sufficient frequency for it to be useful. "The Inflamed Mind" by Edward Bullamore is a good read on the subject.
I don't think it has changed, and it's not true that everyone uses it incorrectly.
I mean "in a way that would allow you to boot Windows on top of it".

>And if Microsoft stops signing your bootloaders it is an automatic death sentence for your distribution, as you can no longer boot the LiveCD without "scary prompts" and/or fiddling with the BIOS setup.

Not really?

Several popular Linux distributions simply do not support Secure Boot. Arch Linux is one of them.
How does your comment have anything to do with this post?
The majority of x86 computers I have are BIOS only, only one of them is UEFI and I only have it because I found it discarded on the side of the road. I don't use the UEFI mode though, since my current install doesn't support booting in UEFI mode (no GPT) and wouldn't support booting in BIOS mode if I switched it to GPT and UEFI.
A tank full of gas won't explode if punctured, but there might be a fire if it leaks near something hot enough. An empty tank will explode with just the slightest spark. A half tank just depends on where it gets punctured, but with gravity and all, it's likely to be the bottom half that gets punctured.
What Is Nix? (2020)
"Is this corporate influence?"

Of course? Fedora Linux is an asset of the company Red Hat, their prevailing revenue model seems to have something to do with adding their own brand of complexity to otherwise simple open source systems, see systemd.

Since its acquisition by IBM (NYSE:IBM), Red Hat has entered the conglomerate of publicly owned companies, their profits are linked together with other public hardware manufacturers like Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), through intraday traders and index funds.

In summary, removing support for older hardware increases sale of new hardware, hardware and software companies coordinate profit sharing through stock markets. Pretty simple.
Although you have to be careful not to fall into "Enlightened Centrist" mode all the time.

While there are usually solid points on both sides of an argument, you should take one side on many (most?) issues.
Yep. Because this is a perfect example of something that only matters in ivory towers, but not "on the street". The fact that it HAS been 20 years and browsers "haven't bothered" to "fix" this only goes to show how unimportant this really is. The author is not wrong about any of it, but that only strengthens the argument that there isn't a compelling "why" for "fixing" it (let alone that changing how browsers render outputs really WOULD break every site on the internet that is designed for how sRGB has worked in browsers for 25+ years).
Your comment makes no sense to me.

Failing to treat me is a professional failing with severe adverse effects for me. And it's entirely based on the judgemental assholeness of such doctors. If you can't stop blaming people for their conditions, find another job. I'm not my GPs therapist.

Also, they've been dead for close to a decade.
This reminds of a talk Donald Knuth held at Google a few years ago. In the QA someone asked how he'd search online for abstract mathematical concepts.

Don Knuth smirked and said (paraphrased from memory): "I'm x years in the field, you can bet I made a few friends along that I can ask."

> on one, the outer part of the gray square looks like there are yellow dots, while on the other monitor, it flickers, but only while the image is over a particular place on the physical monitor (this happens with other images where adjacent pixels frequently have a large difference in color).

Your monitor likely has a 6-bit panel and uses FRC to emulate an 8-bit display. This tends to cause content-dependent flickering and other temporal artifacts.
I hope that the insect and bird populations also start to recover. We don’t see that many bugs in the Boston area, and the cities spray mosquito fog every summer because of EEE.

Our birds of prey in Eastern MA are being impacted by rat poison - they eat rats which have been poisoned.

Certainly there are improvements, and we should celebrate those. But we should also recognize that there’s a way to go.
Trying to raise awareness of legislators that tracking by advertisers gets more rigid rules and support manufacturers and devices that do not feature ads or at least targeted ads.

Since it is probably the IP that is tracked, maybe implement a VPN service for the whole family or have your router to scheduled dial-ins to reset your dynamic IP (if you get one).

For web browsing I would recommend an ad blocker, It think it is pretty much mandatory to enjoy the web. Also hits sites with responsible advertising, you would have to whitelist them manually as they are often dependent on it.
This tweet has made the rounds, but it’s wrong in its claims about Secure Boot. Your claim that protection against physical presence is novel to ARM Apple devices is also mistaken. See my comments in a previous thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30738720

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30738679

Extracting the relevant bits and cleaning them up:

Macs/iOS devices and PCs—through the Secure Enclave and TPM/Secure Boot/Bitlocker, respectively—offer really good protection against physical access attacks. They verify the integrity of boot components and are only able to decrypt the system volume if they detect an untampered boot chain. Further, they can lock down direct memory access to protect powered-on systems from bypasses to user authentication. This is why nowadays, if a thief steals your laptop and you had the hard drive encryption with hardware security features on (on Windows, if you set up with a Microsoft Account, this is enabled without any further action by the user), you can feel fairly secure that even a technically savvy thief cannot access your data.

And:

This tweet is wrong when it claims that Secure Boot does not protect against physical presence attacks. This misunderstands the point of Secure Boot.
Secure Boot can indeed be disabled, but that will change the TPM PCR values, so assuming a standard BitLocker configuration, the TPM will fail to unlock the BitLocker key. So if you try to disable Secure Boot on such a machine, you will be unable to boot or otherwise access that volume (even with another machine) unless you have the BitLocker recovery key.
Yes, there is some incredible work there. A practical problem is that these solvers are written in C or C++, and sometimes difficult to configure and install. Not as simple as referencing a Rust crate ...
Before I added code-splitting a while back to improve my original lighthouse score, you actually used to be able to load the app and then disconnect from your network and still do everything except save to the cloud. In fact, you still can if you visit all the parts of the site first so that every chunk is loaded. With so much being client-side like that, web workers turned out to be really handy for things like Monte Carlo mode or running multiple simulations at once (e.g. on the dashboard).
If you're surrounded by "radicals" and you have a balanced and well reasoned opinion then you will be a radical among them.
I don't know how I feel about municipal electric utilities extending into areas like broadband, as is described here.

In most places, broadband is a fairly competitive market; and municipal utilities are significantly subsidized by the public purse: I'm pretty sure I'd be able to run a successful ISP if I didn't have to pay federal income tax and any debt I issued was also exempt from federal income tax, reducing my cost of capital.
Prioritize sources where I understand some motivation beyond traffic/ads for the existence of that source. Non-profits dedicated to providing information (Wikipedia, MDN), individual people I am familiar enough with to believe genuine interest in their topic, publicly-funded yet independent journalistic outlets, documentation written by the actual author of software, etc.

I often find these in my Google/DDG searches, after scrolling past the things I know to be “otherwise” motivated.
I do agree knowing the commands isn't something to be sidestepped, but frankly I find it difficult to create a mental image of several related branches without a visual aid. I envy people to whom it comes easy, but I'd rather save whatever brainpower I have for solving other problems...

It’s not perfect, but here’s what I do, when I run into a new domain:

1. Click bait title? Immediately bail.

2. How many trackers were blocked (ublock). If there’s a ton, then I’m now extra suspicious and might even bail at this point.

3. After that it’s really just specific words I watch out for that could tip me off that it’s fluff or content marketing crap.

4. I will often follow up on sources / searching for corroborating articles or if it’s just a regurgitated press release.

Over time you recognize good sources.
Oh sorry, yeah ugly is a really subjective term, I should have explained.

The 0.5 sRGB grey (aka 50%, 0x7f or 0x80) is right smack at the grey value most people would pick as the halfway point between black and white.

A linear 0.5 grey is way off from that, I think way too bright, but I’m about 10 months off working on this and to be honest this is one of those things like east/west or left/right that I can never remember without working out the math on a piece of paper. Too bright or too dark for sure, not at all a medium grey.

It took my team a long time to not think of linear and sRGB interpolation in terms of good vs. bad, right vs. wrong, modern vs. legacy, etc. There are good uses for interpolating in both color spaces, and an a variety of others like HSL, HSV, CMY, perceptual spaces. Sorry for continuing the problem. There’s no ugly color space; they all have good uses.

The best is a 4-way diff

It you merge a file in two commits A and B, it would show version A, version B, the common ancestor, and the resulting merged file in four different views.

xxdiff could do that.

IF a developer team his mostly iphones they will do that one first I bet. Thats how I have seen it done usually. The problem is that if most non standard use cases (like bluetooth) support are garbage in cross platform tools. So I have to make two mobile apps: one for iphone and one for android. I have an iPhone so I making that one first. If its not that popular, maybe I just dont make an android app.
They really don't want the world to see what is happening, whatever the framing.
Mentioned this above, but I think a lot of the doubt comes from the videos circulating that show the corpses being dragged into place on the roads by Ukrainian solders. Certainly doesn't mean they killed them, but it makes it really easy not to trust everything they say on what they "found" in Bucha.
That's not a choice, it's a predetermined bias.

Anyway, the "real solution" is oomd + PSI (pressure stall information), which can detect when memory is running low and the system is affected.

Sorry, I'm a bit lost. Aren't they parts of the same thing? When you put tags on pages you also need an index of all the pages with that tag?
It’s probably just that a gradient between black and white in linear RGB results in a gradient with a midpoint that doesn’t look like _the middle between black and white_ to the human eye. I far as I understand that’s what sRGB fixes, perhaps among other things, and the way it fixes that results in muddy colors when you mix different colors.
There is some part of your brain that controls how good you are at controlling your own behavior. Some people are bad at it (alcoholics, drug addicts), most people are average, and some people are exceptionally good at it (Elon Musk perhaps?). To do what you suggest is materially possible but requires exceptionally strong self-control. Odds are your self-control isn't that strong because if it were, you'd be preoccupied with other things. It's like people asking about studying higher math on their own. Ofc it's possible but for most people the self-control required isn't there.
Title is incorrect, the article merely quotes an ASML executive who claims other industries are doing this instead.
Look for them, sure. And consider the opposite. But if you believe the opposite of the Current Thing all the time, you're just a mindless contrarian. A good recent example of this phenomenon is all the people who denied that Russia would invade Ukraine -- not because of any primary sources or facts, but because they reflexively countered the mainstream consensus.

The good news is you can spot these people easily by just asking them to explain why they believe the opposite. And if they answer with empty platitudes or lofty statements that don't really address the specifics of the issue at hand, you can keep searching.
> Correct, brutalism is concerned with total utilitarianism and a complete lack of artifice

but, every brutalist structure i’ve had the displeasure to work in sucked for humans to occupy and interact with. They completely prioritize artifice over functional matters.
Brutalism is about exposing the innards of a building. It is nothing about chaos (quite the contrary). The best webdesign analogy of brutalism would be a literate programming interface like a Jupyter Notebook.

My father taught me something a long time ago:

There are three kinds of people in the world. 1) those that do not learn from their mistakes. 2) those that learn from their mistakes. 3) those that learn from the mistakes of others.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are in categories 1 and 2. Very few people are capable of avoiding risks they haven't personally encountered at least once.

The article gives several examples of these "brutalist" design elements, many of them basically bolder, thicker boundaries. I'm tempted to say that this new trend isn't coming from young upstart designers, but from aging ones who's once young eyes, once so appreciative of the subtle minimalism of design post 2008 or so, are not so young any longer, and long for high contrast clarity. I don't know that of course. But a lot of web design just makes my eyes tired. And don't get me started on dark mode design.
The relevant part being: "But it has become so dire that large industrial companies are buying washing machines in order to rip out the chips and repurpose them, according to ASML CEO Peter Wennink."
its all about UX, if you have an environment that has lots of menus and settings something even bios had to control certien aspects of your system like virtualization support and such you would like to have good UX, because of that UEFI was created. Now if you wanted to do that from OS you can but you need a technology many people hate and want to remove from their systems and hardware called Management Engine. Yes this is the purpose of ME allow changing of UEFI settings from either the OS of machine itself or changing of UEFI settings from another machine without requirement of IPMI(idrac iLo and simular implementations) and rebooting to get to it.
Implementation of some sort of ME allows you to overclock your CPU from OS. So AMD has some sort of ME(of course its not called ME since that is just name of intel implementation) as well(how wide in functionality is another question) so do GPUs.
The METASM assembly manipulation suite
After double check:

std::sort(<some floats with NaNs>);

indeed does not assert, what does assert (with a nice "invalid comparator" message in MSVC) is

std::sort(..., [] (float a, float b) { return a <= b; });
std::sort(..., [] (float a, float b) { return true; });

or anything else that is not a correct < implementation.

I'd assume they don't want to introduce a check for the FP case as it would break pretty much all the code on earth which assumes that NaNs and Infs do not exist.
