“Everything” working in a web app is unlikely to happen any time soon. The security model is so different, though less different between mobile and web than mobile and desktop. Also the Apple/Safari ecosystem is the new IE and dragging down some of the innovation.

However, I believe it might not matter. 95% apps can be done as web apps today, especially what comes to boring business applications. 5% we can wait for some time.

What comes to Flutter, it can never integrate well within a browser as it sufferes from the same issue as Java applets. It does not use the web browser native rendering engine and widgets will always feel kludgy, have accessibility issues and so on. Not a big deal for some apps like games. And Google Docs is already using Canvas based rendering so seems like Flutter canvas based apps might have hope.

With a better sim (prepar3d, x-plane, etc) and good aircraft models, you can build up a lot of systems knowledge that translates accurately to the real world (instruments, avionics, navigation, fuel system, hydraulics, air, handling failures, etc). But not so much the aircraft handling.
Wordpress code base is the best argument for the MVC design pattern specifically because it shows what goes wrong when you toss the idea of encapsulation out the window.
I went to Georgia Tech 2016-2020. CS 2803, 4803, and 8803 are all codes for special topics courses that haven't been standardized or established, so the class you linked is pretty obscure. The reddit thread you linked is 9 years old. I think the heavy emphasis on OOP in the GaTech CS intro sequence is the most outdated bit, with the worst offender being the "Objects and Design" course with lectures involving a dated and useless picture of enterprise Java design and a group project involving either programming an Android app or a JavaFX app: https://gt-student-wiki.org/mediawiki/index.php/CS_2340
> For example, some of my homelab servers use older AMD Athlon 200 GE as their CPUs, due to the fact that there are on board graphics and because the TDP is 35W, both saving electricity and also allowing me to use passive cooling (with just a large heatsink https://www.arctic.de/en/Alpine-AM4-Passive/ACALP00022A).

I have a server with a 3700x. I originally had a cheapo discrete AMD graphics card in it, but I ended up just yanking that and running the machine without any graphics card. Saves power.
Because the drivers for the consumer GPUs are not licensed for datacebter use and obviously VM == datacenter
That book has held up surprisingly well.

Do you mean this like python pip? Or performance improvement? .. or?

(Sorry, just trying to understand your remark. FWIW I'm a bit disappointed with skablik in this chain, why so pedantic, self-centered, and close minded?)
Oh the irony. The people who write this code and the people who spread modern coding best practices are two separate sets of people. They sometimes overlap but rarely.
Often you even get the world-class professors when you’re at a community college in a town with a big famous school. Lots of UT professors will pick up extra classes at ACC here and there.
Authoritarian countries are often good at maintaining a friendly facade. They understand that the legitimacy of the regime depends on keeping the middle class happy, or at least under control. When they consider someone beneficial to the regime, they will try to treat them well. They are not cartoon villains that treat people badly just because they can. They usually need a reason for that.

I've seen the same differences in the attitudes of Chinese and American immigration authorities. And if my memories of childhood visits to the USSR are correct, the same differences existed between Soviet and American authorities. I believe the main reason is that America is fundamentally suspicious of anything foreign. Authorities are more likely to see threats than benefits in international dealings.
But that’s specifically what OP mentioned - their own experience with front line officers and their conduct. So what else can be there if not “anecdotal”? Every commenter citing a separate research paper including surveys from millions (or thousands?) of people?

Or is it just fashionable on hn to drop a “ha, anecdotal!” comment?
Unsure why I'm downvoted. What I meant was: Yes, energy density would be nice to improve, but is not what is stopping people buying EVs currently.

Imagine if they halved in cost but kept the same energy density. Yes, driving 1 tonne of batteries sucks, but I'd gladly do it versus my current polluting ICE, if the appropriate vehicle was available at an appropriate price.
Well, if your ancestors did not go through the immigration process then it was "easy" for them.
> I've never been aware of your interpretation. I've always understood "fat-ass" to just mean "fat," or perhaps closely-associated derogatory traits like "sedentary" or "lazy."

Yes, that is my interpretation—unless you mean to dispute my claim that "fat-ass" means "fat, and an ass" by asserting instead that "-ass" is a meaningless intensifier. I'm also OK with that interpretation; what I mean to reject is the interpretation that "fat-ass" means anything specifically about a fat ass, as opposed to fatness in general.
Maybe... depends where weight is added and removed, and how much. Most cars aren't particularly prone to flip in the first place, and a few hundred pounds probably won't make a huge difference. (ICE cars vary in weight depending on whether the gas tank is full or empty, and it's generally not an issue.)

I've heard that having more than 50% of the weight on the rear wheels is dangerous because if you lose traction on a corner it's the rear wheels that would lose their grip first, which is hard to recover from, whereas if the front wheels slip first it's more self-correcting.
Given that code is a medium created to be written and understood by humans, I don't think the idea is particularly unreasonable or outlandish.

A better analogy is probably something like "demystifying music". Not something that everyone is into by any measure, but certainly there are more people around who "get" music than there are musicians who make music, and there are accessible and approachable entry points for people to learn a little or a lot without obscurantism. There are of course people to whom music is just noise, but they are a tiny minority. There may be an equivalent tiny minority of normally intelligent adults that are incapable of computational thinking, but I haven't seen any evidence for it (dyscalculia isn't it any more than dyslexia is).
You're correct. I was saying that correlation implied either causation or at least a common cause, and you correctly point out that there can be (edit: and frequently are) spurious correlations. The desire to see causal effects is strong in us humans, and it is easy for us, me especially, to fall prey to this logical fallacy.

For people who would like to see a demonstration of the effect yolo69420 is pointing out, you can visit the website below [1]. It, among other things, shows how Nicholas Cage movies are correlated with swimming pool drownings.

I completely agree that the Twitter post does not prove there is a direct causal relationship between the maps they compare, nor even that there exists a common cause. I would contend that this is a very high standard to hold for interesting content on the internet. If you would like to hold to this standard, you will likely come to more robust and defensible conclusions than myself.

I find it fun to speculate on possible common causes. If I had any actual ability to change things based on my conclusions, I'd likely increase my burden of proof to a much higher level like you suggest.

What aspects are particularly interesting to you and why?
When I ran it the vram temps were actually fine (although not the scorching GDDR6X variety of course). Since it's not sharing thermal mass with the GPU die, the direct airflow on its own was plenty.

You actually can see this with the 3090 in fact. Simply pointing a fan at the back of the card does wonders and easily keeps them in spec without a heatsink at all, although the backplate is acting as a bit of a spreader. Which makes sense since each memory chip is only like 2-3W. You don't need a heatsink for that, just a little bit of airflow
Sadly, it's also not the actual GPU driver, just the kernel part; you still need their massive closed blob in userspace. Almost had me excited there for a moment.
I think Top-2 is a dead-end. It bakes in the assumption of parties as the ultimate power brokers, and further entrenches FPTP.

Even simpler option: implement STV. Then primaries are optional as you can essentially bake the primary candidates into the main election if you like.

I think it’s quite repugnant to offer Republicans the choice of two Democrats to vote for. (I’m not a Republican). Top-2 admits that FPTP with party primaries is broken, but declines to actually fix the problem beyond a band-aid.

In this context of legal immigration, the point here isn't about sovereignty. It's simply documenting one persons experience - I don't see it as a call for open borders. Also, does the US recognize a country's sovereignty when it conducts its foreign affairs? It constantly meddles in the internal affairs of other countries, not to mention the countless military interventions over the years.

So if a non-IP-lawyer reads the redistribution terms of the RH Universal Base Images, there are some very dubious implications in there, such as #22 and #42.

Has anyone done a third party analysis of their EULA? My org, an ISV, may need some legal cycles to avoid stepping in this trap.

I'd be just fine avoiding UBI because of that, but there are some orgs whose security posture demands only UBI images are allowed in their domain so ISV's may be forced to pay to play.
Not a bad question at all.

It's all about what the client needs. The advice I give on this subject these days is that Wordpress is fine to use for a blog or a very basic, low traffic read-only company websites. Think like a small restaurant or something. The two things to be aware of:

1. Somebody has to support it, whether that be you or someone who comes after you. While Wordpress doesn't have as many security issues in and of itself as it used to, it still does have some occasionally and will still need to be patched up to more recent versions. Security vulnerabilities in Wordpress are almost immediately exploited, so the sooner you patch, the better.

2. The minute you start trying to push Wordpress beyond the bounds of being a basic CMS or blogging platform (like adding online ordering, inventory management, etc.) you are better off finding other, better suited options.
I 100% agree with you here. Clients have an awful time working with Gutenberg.

While the editor UX continues to get more convoluted, so too does the DX. PHP and React interfaces grow further apart in their capabilities and it's really just outrageous to have to master so many things to create a simple block in the editor.

It's really just not worth the effort.

Very interesting, awk(1) also does this style of string concatenation; does anyone know of other languages with a similar design?

It's not particularly "weird". Even today, black nationalists get along better with white supremacists than white progressives. It's all about perspectives. Ethno-nationalists share the same worldview, they can understand each other and agree on fundamentals. Ideologues can respect their enemies, but they'll never like people who they disagree with on fundamental ideological grounds.

I first used OpenGL on linux in 1995. Software-based commercial X server that was unusably slow. By 98 or so I had Mesa, and was running software-based open source OpenGL (still pretty slow, but almost usable). By 2001, I think, I had a FireGL card that was supported in linux doing hardware OpenGL, I think it was a partly open source kernel driver- first time I had competitive performance to lower-end SGIs in the lab). FireGL was then acquired by ATI which sold their cards as high-end and continued the driver. After that I reverted to software for driver reasons, then to the nvidia driver, which I've used on linux for over a decade now. I will give ATI and nvidia credit for having at least some fairly good level of support for linux over the past two decades.
Yeah, it made its way into my quiver by hanging around slashdot for years.
The kernel driver was never distributed as source. The driver itself was a giant compiled object file that was linked into a kernel module with some shim code using DKMS. I know because I dug through it trying to fix the RTX 2060 in my G14 not going into D3.
Recently I was road-tripping through Nevada and saw signs warning people against going into old, abandoned, mines, some of them pretty blunt about what can happen[1]. I wonder if an industry of certified mine explorers that lead tours and train others could help the way that cave diving certifications help.

I mean, I guess he can spin any way he wants. He has branded Disney as a "for the woke" company.

I am no "mouthpiece of the woke" but I thought the actual "woke" wanted lesser copyright years? And he's trying to deliver that.

The best thing here is for the "woke" to loudly cheer him on in this - thus supporting what they want AND confusing the fanbase he thought he was targeting.
I think like many things in life, the answer lies somewhere in between. You want inflammation—-just enough, not too much.
It seems to be the simplest explanation of what he wrote
The Constitution sets a minimum district size, but not a maximum. The minimum is 30,000 ppl, the average now is over 700,000 ppl.

Congress could easily double the size of the House, and should. That and a law requiring that districts have maximum compactness/population density would I think solve many of our problems with running a democracy.
Mark Rippetoe swears by a remedy he developed for elbow tendonitis, based on pin firing. Pin firing is an old treatment for certain injuries to a horse's leg, whereby inflammation is intentionally exacerbated using a hot poker. The idea being that this increased inflammatory response causes the original injury to heal.

His remedy for elbow tendonitis basically involves a few sessions of doing chin ups until your elbow pain is unbearable. And then keep going. Many low-rep sets over and over. The idea is that this will increase inflammation, causing your body to heal the original injury along with the inflammation.

He claims this healed his own elbow tendonitis and has worked for countless others.

I follow Rip's strength training program. However I can't say I'd ever give this a try and I'm not sure there's any scientific evidence that it works.

Just thought it was pretty interesting, even if it's just bogus. I have no idea!

The thing I don't get - and may not be equipped to get - is why we can't make room for people to express themselves as they are without causing them to resort to surgery and hormonal intervention to better fit the available categories.

It seems like the various expressions of gender dysphoria are more a result of external influence rather than some sort of accident of nature.

I am sure it is very distressing to feel that you need to alter yourself in irrevocable ways to better fit what you think are societal norms.

> These glasses contain lenses which can be self-adjusted by the wearer to their prescription, and were developed as a low-cost and accessible eye care solution for people in developing nations. The lens consists of two membranes, in between which silicon oil can be pumped with the syringes on the side of the frames. As fluid is pumped in or out, the focal length of the lens is changed, meaning the lens can be tuned to the specific requirements of the eye. The syringes can then be removed. The inventor of these glasses was nominated for a 2011 European Invention Award.

> Meanwhile multi-cultural urban school, really a bad idea to have regular and repeated situations where students strike others, IMHO.

I see it as a chicken and egg problem.

It can be hard to manage situations where people from different background and culture have to intensely interact with each other, especially as they are pushed to their limits. But it is also by having multi-cultural people regularly interact with each others that you help improve their relations and make these situations better.

If it seems hard to enter the cycle, a smaller first step to have the kids get used to be around each other could help.
'Upstreamable' means that they send Linus a pull request, and Linus merges it into the kernel. It would then become part of Linux.

It's a negative that it's not upstreamable. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's bad, but it's less than good. That means you'll continue to maintain a separate kernel module that's rebuilt for each kernel.

It would need to be modified to match the kernel's coding standards and whatnot. Part of what makes linux such a strong thing is that you're just not allowed to do certain things in the kernel. They won't include ZFS in the kernel because it's got its own entire vfs -- linux filesystems are only permitted to use linux's vfs, and if you need vfs changes to make it work, you modify the 'one true' vfs. They didn't include the original AMD Radeon driver because it had its own hardware abstraction layer; you're supposed to do that in user space or not at all. (the Radeon driver was changed to remove the abstraction layer, and it was later merged into the kernel)

It's not immediately clear to me how much work it will take to get the driver into the kernel. Hopefully it won't be a lot of work, but it's possible that it would require basically rewriting it from scratch. It's at least written almost entirely in C, so that's a good start.

Regardless, this is tremendously good news.
