No, people could just use their style. We've seen that in some subgroups. Often for example with AutoCAD users scripting in AutoLisp / VisualLisp.

Consistency is a virtue on its own. Consistent coding standards improve readability for a wider group, even if the coding standard would be slightly less optimal according to some other metrics.
Hyperbolic or otherwise, it happened and I remember it well (it changed my purchasing decisions at the time).

I'm aware of most of those details as I took a keen interest in the matter at the time. I'm also aware of the argument for the use of said algorithm.

Whether one adopts this approach or not is philosophical argument and I just happen to believe it's bad (and ugly) engineering - and in this case witnes the outcome, it cost Intel dearly in both monetary and PR terms.
Just because they have those banners up doesn't mean those point to some latent reason for whatever is responsible for their woes. Granted it gives a window in to the culture of the Fuschia team at Google, but to me, personally, it doesn't come off as virtue-signalling at all but rather a conscious effort to put diversity and inclusion in the front and center of what they do. As another example, Google has had socio-political doodles for decades, but I never considered those as virtue-signalling.
Nice - although the coverage locally is a bit spotty (I'm not talking missing shows, I'm talking missing theatres!).
>Following this reasoning, all children would be subject the whims of their backwards city or rural enclave. Parents will have more of an ability to brainwash their kids, I suppose, but that's not what we usually mean by "liberty."

At least their whims affect only the children in the backwards city or rural enclave, which by definition is small.

How much liberty there is in a system where all schools are subject to whims of a national government, which you can't hope to affect with your single one vote? No chance even if you, your spouse and friends all decide to weigh in. Sounds positively totalitarian.

One can't even talk about tyranny of majority: In most Western democracies -- no matter if the electoral system is proportional or not -- the percentage of people who vote is so small that any government seldom was voted in by majority of the population, only by a plurality, anyway.
Is IP recording Confidential?
I was interested in taking this implicit bias test [1] by Harvard, but hit the following line that's concerning me a little bit:

"IP addresses are routinely recorded, but are completely confidential."

What should I make of this? Why would they store my IP address, and can they guarantee they do it in a confidential way?

Proportional voting for congress per state would solve this.

If the 27 seats from New York would be distributed via proportional voting, then a party with just a few percent of votes can get some political power.
>but not being under the influence of lobbyists and party leadership would allow congress members to truly vote on what they think is in their constituents best interests.

Or, it would allow them to vote in favor of the biggest donors with impunity.
The major downside I see is constituents not being able to hold their representatives accountable. You can't trust what they say. You have to look at their voting record.

Yeah, I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. Some of the founding fathers that it was fair to give people in smaller states equal representation in the Senate and part of the electoral college, because they didn't want them to be effectively ruled by the people in cities.

I can understand why many people think its unfair, but there's at least an argument to be made that it should exist. OP was saying he has only met people who think it is unfair, but you are pointing out that it exists for a reason.

I do think there is some concern with having people in cities effectively rule over those outside of cities. I could see it resulting in poor economic outcomes for those outside of cities, since rural areas and cities tend to have very different economies. This could lead to some poor outcomes. Like rural areas becoming even less populated, even more political unrest and division, etc.

I also think that the effect of the electoral college giving some individuals more of a vote doesn't come close to the effect wealth gives. Wealth will always generate way more of a "vote" then living somewhere like Wyoming.
Yes - you can't run untrusted native code in the first place outside of the emulator ;)

That's why the bug says:
"The overall impact of this bug is pretty minimal in our current set of supported products, since none support running untrusted native code, and if you can run your own code on the system, then (at present) you can also use other existing supported workflows to obtain kernel logs, but it does seem to be a useful stepping stone towards privilege escalation if you have already obtained code-exec in some process through another exploit."

So while not awesome, also not possible on a real device right now without a code-exec exploit.
This is called "sortition", and Wikipedia has an interesting discussion of the history and pros/cons of such an approach.

You might want to look into my timeline thing [0]. At it's core, it's a database of Entries with different schemas.

- Output: There's an API you can query Entries from, and Destinations that automatically export them.

It's meant to be more like a diary and less like a dashboard, but once you have the data in a single database, it's easy to do other things with it.

Counterpoint: if you want to stay relevant in technology and be above regular level, you gotta have the passion for it and that implies doing your homework.

If you don’t want to learn, you become irrelevant and get replaced.
Is "low tech" really cheaper?

Curious, because I thought the reason nobody did buttons anymore was that printing a pattern on a touch capacitive surface was dirty cheap.

Whereas I assume tactile buttons require a lot work when mounting/building the product.

Am I wrong?

I guess an 8 digit display is still cheaper than a touch screen :)

>>No honest person who is informed about how the electoral college works thinks it’s fair.

I do, because I support the concept of Federalism and I do not believe in a Centralized "America" I believe in 50 independent States, a Republic

I also think popular vote for senate was a mistake. The States need to have power over the federal government not just the people.

The US Constitution reserves powers and rights to both the people AND the States for a reason, that reason is the fact that our system of government is a Federalist Republic, not a strait representative democracy. Nor would I support a transition to a strait representative democracy as I believe the federal government is far far far too powerful today

I would support changes to the Electoral College, like the Wyoming Rule, or requiring all states to delegate their votes Proportionally by congressional district instead of Winner take all, etc but calls for elimination of the Electoral College are short sighted and ill advised
I have my first computer still, an IBM PC. The last useful thing I did with it is copy the 2015 demo “8088 MHZ”[1] to it. (I still had Telix installed on the hard drive so I was able to copy, via USB drive, the EXE file from my Windows 7 box which didn’t have a serial port to my XP box which did. And then use Hyperterminal and a null modem cable and 9 to 25 pin adapter to the serial port on the PC to send it via Zmodem (I think) protocol. (The demo runs most of the way but I get a parity error/crash at a certain point because it requires 640K and I have a little less than that due to some bad RAM. Even though I set the dip switches to less than the full amount, I think the demo tries to use all the memory space anyway.)

I think that an structured routine should help me organize through the day but whenever I search online for an "optimal" formula, I end up with generic SEO crap like organize your meals and take vitamins.

What unit is "Efficiency" in? Wh/km?

It's interesting that VW seems to use a standardized 82kWh battery back in their MEB platform and achieves basically the same range as the Tesla 3 with 75kWh. Appears this is engineered to the point.

Why is Teslas Efficiency 10% better? My understanding is that they use SiC transistors in their inverter while the MEB uses Silicon IGBTs. A trade-off between reliability (Si), cost (Si), performance (SiC). How much of the difference is caused by this?

> And here's lies the problem with the American view of the matter. No, guns are not amoral. Guns are tools _literally_ designed for killing people. In what world is a killing instrument amoral?

It's not an American-centric view, because it's also held in Switzerland where you see Military walking around in full fatigues and fully loaded automatic weapons on a daily basis and no one cares; the issue is your conclusions are lazy at best, firearms may have been designed for that purpose, I agree, but they can also be used to hunt, ward off predators in the wild or on your land, or protect your from a would-be assailants just the same.

And that is not what is taken into account in your very biased assessment, firearms were/are required in the frontier that the US is/was for all those reasons, and more. Much of the US is vast and still mainly uninhabited and very far from what you'd call civilization.

As I said, I'm likely the closest thing to the ideal fire arm owner: I own only one and I know how to use it, I have been screened by the DoJ and and have had that firearm since I was in my 20s. I've gone to hunting training safety courses, too.

As for the War part, no this is exactly a byproduct of nations like Germany and Italy and most of the EU building their entire economies around Russian energy knowing full well what the consequences were and enabling despots to commit crimes against Humanity to maintain the status quo; the invasion may have taken place in '22 but war has been ongoing since '14 in Ukraine and still Nordstream 2 was well under way. This one single aspect on the European continent has led to lots of deaths, too. Just because it didn't affect YOU directly doesn't mean that it doesn't count and THAT is most certainly cultural in Europe--just for context I've been involved since the Maidan Revolution in 2013 and most Europeans are entirely oblivious to have has been happening in order for them to live their lives as-is to the determent of Ukrainians in the Donbas and Crimea regions all these years.

My point is that just because you outsource your violence to those 'other Europeans over there' in order to live your cushy lives in EU then there is no point in having this conversation because you willfully have blinders on that make you incapable to see what the real issue is that my entire argument is based on.

The totality of the issue needs to be taken into account, and the only one here moving goals posts is you.

You don't need to convince me about how life is the US including the violence, I lived in it for most of my Life (I'm from SoCal and grew up when LA was ground zero for some of the worst gang violence in the US in the 80s with the crack epidemic) and I chose to move back to EU after COVID because I was concerned with the growing violence from that time was coming back and I was tired of fighting after nearly 20 years of activism, but the truth is I feel way more threatened here than I did back in the US.

And it had nothing to do with the fact that I do not own a firearm in the EU.

I clicked the link again. I don't see any of that. It starts with claims about 1) a cursor (which I ignored) and 2) the issue with the characters, which is further elaborated on in a couple follow-up tweets. Then your comment mentions all these news outlets and I don't understand how that connects to the claims about the characters, or makes them taken out of context. It looks like a pretty stand-alone claim/issue that should be something to quickly do research on if you care about the topic, nothing taken wildly out of context.

NWN is a great example as well. It's imho quite underrated/overlooked how ground-breaking that game was, considering it's editor- and GM-tools.

Probably not - the plastics harden are a different type with different properties. The industry was burned with early plastics that did have problems and is paying attention to this. PE has been used in plumbing for more than 50 years with no problems, PEX should last even longer.

A massively multiplayer text-based industrial game where players produce raw materials/parts/products that other players can use to produce theirs. A player can gradually scale up from a one person production (clicker based production) to a fully automated factory. On the screen is just blocks of tables with ever changing numbers (e.g production rate, wear and tear of parts, etc), and the goal is to optimize your bank account balance (no stocks/fund raising mechanics). There can also be an internal IRC where people can negotiate and collaborate. Parts that are not produced by any player yet can be produced by an AI until someone comes along to replace it.
