> Anybody claiming they regularly use the internet with JS disabled is just lying for some sort of feel of superiority.

Nope. I do, and I'm not lying. I started because it was required for my work and I just got used to it and now do it everywhere. The internet with NoScript is the best way to browse 90% of the time.

Even today, the vast majority of the sites I visit (including the one linked to in this post) work just fine (for what I want) without JS. That means the text I clicked to read is displayed and is readable, the images I clicked to view are displayed, etc. Other parts of the site may not work (menus for example), but if I'm just following a link to an article I want to read and I can read it without javascript why do I care if the menus on the site are broken or if i can't leave a comment?

For the sites I regularly visit that really do need JS I enable only the JS files needed to accomplish the things that I want and that's only necessary to do one time for each site. NoScript remembers my preferences on each domain.

For those rare occasions I actually need to enable JS to get the functionality I want on a site I'm visiting only once I can just temp allow only the scripts I need to get the content I want and the next time I close my browser (or clear those temp permissions by hand) that site is no longer allowed to use JS. Ill admit that for some random sites I wasn't that interested in in the first place, there are times where I'll still just close the tab and move on.

I really don't understand why people think it's so hard to use the web with NoScript. Overall, websites load much faster and look cleaner without JS and I'm much much more secure. Most of the time, it's really not a problem.

I will say, I do have an add-on called NukeAnything that lets you right click and remove whatever you want from webpages (only until the page is reloaded) and that occasionally does help fix some issues for sites that don't handle the lack of JS gracefully. If somebody's poorly designed JS heavy menu is spewed all over the page and covering the content I want to see, I can just right click and remove it. Same with obnoxious "we use cookies" banners that I refuse to interact with.

Honesty it's the other things I've done to harden the browser (disabling redirects, service workers, WebGL, WebRTC, Wasm, location sharing, DRM, plugins, cookies, web storage, etc.) that cause the most problems with sites, and I do keep another unhardened browser around (brave atm) to handle the sites I absolutely need to access that depend on that junk.
I like tiff format too, amirite!?
I like this one too. He shouldn't have signed that prenup. Kind of left him on the hook for some alimony. I thought it was a new trolling tactic.
Is this something unique to Twitter or is this just Biden or someone else trying to stop the Elon deal?
lol but that's like most ppl in tech tbh
I think of self repair as a way for people with the right knowledge to be able to repair their phone. I don't think it means that a novice user will be able to actually repair their gadget without having the right knowledge. It's away for people to get their phones fixed without having to go to Apple.

This article is just BS.

It's not a rover so it didn't get as much attention.

Also one of its goals was to drill a 10ft shaft with a heat probe to study subsurface temperatures, but this drilling operation did not succeed given the soil composition was different than expected.

This just creates a market for zine reviews. And what you write is eventually true of every medium: movies, books, apps, etc.
absolutely love his level documentation for such a niche project.
Also love FGHC on a theoretical level but I've never had anything to use it for that Prolog wasn't a better choice from a library perspective.
I'd argue mods as well. My account was OG and in a local subreddit after a local incident occurred, I suggested that the issue had made me reconsider my views on a subject. Pretty innocent. The mods banned me from the sub, when I replied why and gave a couple of paragraphs about how it's my local area and it would be quite upsetting to be banned over a non-offensive view, they responded with "F$£D OFF" and then my account was permabanned for "Spreading Hate or Violence".

I think I would have been able to goto the website and appeal, but I didn't really want to be part of it any more in the end. A year later, I don't miss it. I just consider it dead.
For normal enterprise programming, they are fairly good for writing rules that normal business folks can eventually figure out. Every business has jargon to describe their business.
I'm going to be honest and likely argued with, but my standard of living has been falling for a long time. Even while my income has been steadily increasing.

I've been in a recession for the past 10 years. If you don't hold assets you've been in a recession/depression whatever. It's been miserable.

Meanwhile most of the physical services are getting worse. Healthcare, road conditions, housing, etc.

This isn't progress.

People have become obsessed with manipulating digits and symbols, rather than building a physical reality.
Actually, there is!

Run Ubuntu Server in text-only mode (reducing the amount of RAM allocated to the VM) and set up to ssh into it.

Then run RubyMine from Windows.

Make a work directory on Ubuntu that has the same branch checked out as your Windows work directory.

Then set up RubyMine: Tools -> Deployment -> Configuration... and set up remote rsync with automatic update of remote files from Windows.

Any file you change on Windows will automatically sync to Linux. You only need a script running on Linux to live update/restart your app on file changes.

I do a version of this for Ruby/Rails development with a cloud VM instance from Mac RubyMine editing machine.
It's important to note that if you're not self hosting this, you're giving unlimited internal network access to this service (unless you properly firewall of course). It's not specific to the single port/address that is used when downloading the config.

I had no idea that could be done with Falstad.

That's really amazing.
Google forced me to give a phone number to verify my 10+ year old account, not because I forgot my password, but because they want all your information (I think that they buy ID info from the phone companies)... and I don't even use any kind of 2FA...
No code is a great way to connect solutions together.

He said he think trump should have been let back on the platform (I'm agnostic on the matter) but he's had a year to take that action and hasn't. Point is that he's expressed remorse about several things that he easily could have made an executive decision to change but somehow hasn't. Hope does interesting stuff with crypto though.
Based on the users comment history I'd say that the person you replied to is concern trolling you.
One day, but I have to confess I like that there's still mysteries below us. Vs everything being known already.
Huh? TFA states "It was a circuit, implemented mostly using digital logic chips, with a few timers and other analog components." and provides schematics from which all the components can be identified as digital (74xx) or analog.
I am neither angry or riled, and I hope people who read my comment don’t get angry or riled.

There is a correlation chart[1] of gun ownership and gun deaths per state for 2013 in this article:

>If it's such a "complicated issue", why did the frequency of mass shootings in Australia drop to negligible levels after they took the simple step of enacting a comprehensive gun ban?

It appears largely because the gun ban simply changed the method by which massacres occurred. Using the list from here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Australia), using the Port Arthur shootings as the pivot point for a 25 year look back and forward, we find before Port Arthur ('71 to '96) there were 123 people killed in some form of multi death incident and a total of 22 incidents. After ('96 to april '21) there were 146 people killed in 37 incidents.

There are some issues I take with that list as a whole, for example for this discussion familicide probably doesn't really enter into it, or a number of the incidents include the perpetrator (which I have tried to filter from the numbers above). If I try to cut the values down to just non-familicide incidents, it looks like 88 deaths in 16 incidents prior and 89 deaths in 23 incidents after.

Admittedly yes the raw number of shootings did go down. But at least to me, that would be a cold comfort to know a dead relative or friend was burned to death rather than shot. If the end goal is to stop people dying by firearm, then fair enough, Australia's laws appear to have done that. If the goal however is to stop people from being killed or attacked in senseless acts of violence, then I think these numbers make the argument that killers will kill with whatever tools they can get their hands on and the issue is indeed more "complicated" than just making one such tool illegal.
Thanks for the examples! I will have to review these.
The really hard part is the combination of the very short range of light transmission underwater and the very large size of the oceans. How many centuries are you willing to spend on the project?
> you have to throw away 88.9% of the water that you mine on site

Nobody cares about that. People care only about the end results, not about the efficiency (or inefficiency) of the intermediate steps. As long as you can travel to Mars and back in half the time it takes with a chemical rocket, exactly zero people will shed tears for all the oxygen wasted after splitting water on Mars.

Besides that, chances are you will be able to find uses for the oxygen you produce. I don't need to remind you that people breathe oxygen, astronauts included.
I would guess a big part is switching/routing specifically geared towards low-latency audio/video.

Just as an example, they probably use UDP for latency, which has no ordering as part of the protocol. However, for streaming stuff, you really want to drop out of order packets and prioritize whatever the latest packet is.

Zoom probably has some kind of custom routing that handles that. If they get congested or clients are unstable, it prioritizes serving the latest audio/video rather than trying to push things out in the order they came in, only for the Zoom client to discard the out of order packets anyways. Amazon can't really do that, because they don't know which bits of data are the ordering.

On the pricing side, people are probably the component that scales the least. You're probably going to need a dedicated person to monitor/fix/upgrade it, and deal with calls from people who have issues. Between salary and benefits, that's at least a 6 figure expense. Zoom's most expensive tier is $240/license/year, so $100,000 would buy you 416 licenses. And $100,000 is a lowball here; that's roundabouts a $60k salary, and the other $40k is paid out in benefits/space/etc. This also doesn't count the bandwidth charges, nor the hardware to run the system on.

Imo, it's also just generally a bad idea to DIY anything business-critical that isn't a core competency of the company. It tends to cause issues. What do you do when the person that built this bespoke Zoom alternative quits? Can you risk it breaking and not working until you can hire someone new and they figure out how it works? You could hire 2 of them, but Zoom is definitely cheaper then. What do you do if the open source project gets abandoned? It also distracts from things that actually make you money. It makes more sense to me to focus on your core line of business, and use the additional proceeds to just pay for Zoom.
Because maybe we can't! Many scientists think we are already too late to stop fairly major climate change. So the sane solution is surely to do both.

Nothing that the guy was quoted saying in OP says that we shouldn't do anything proactive about climate change.

> It's basically impossible to optimize induction variables without undefined signed overflow

Here's a piece of code you can compile with:

gcc -O3 -Wall -Wextra mandel.c -DINTEGER=size_t -o mansize
gcc -O3 -Wall -Wextra mandel.c -DINTEGER=int -o manint

https://godbolt.org/z/Wx4aavvjj

Both versions, the one with the signed integer UB you claim is so important, and the one using size_t with no UB worries at all run in about .28 seconds on my desktop.

I can imagine you'll have some objection: This isn't a true Scotsman, or this isn't representative of real world code, or this example makes it too easy for the compiler to optimize, or that's not about induction variables, or something creative...

That's fine, but the next example is on you. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

> it's possibly the most important optimization for C code, maybe after inlining and simple manipulations such as dead code elimination.

Dead code elimination is one of the most important optimizations?!? Are you worried about binary size or CPU time?
Improvements in car seats would be my guess. Plus, vehicles were required by law to include special latches for anchoring car seats starting around the early 2000's. It was surprisingly tricky to properly install a car seat before those latches.

Figure 10-20 years for old cars to get swapped out for new ones and we're probably at a point now where most cars are equipped with those latches.
Awesome and congrats, I might use this if I start training again (company pays the gym now!)
Is there an equivalent for powershell?
I think the argument is if they dont have a gun, they will ram a truck or have a bomb - will find ways.

The real question is that of motive - why innocent children in the first place? USA has more than an epidemic of mass shootings, it has an epidemic of school shootings. Where does the urge to do such an evil thing come from?
I wanted to dim the chart plotter. I turned it off: was the same button, required a push of a different length. If I wasn't aware of where my bow was pointed and what I was trying to do at the time, it would have been a big problem, particularly in traffic. But because I knew where I was and what I was doing I was able to continue to sail and turn everything back on.
Cool. So the defense, "Facebook does much worse!" didn't fly? #justSayin
The one time I tried to make a Twitter account it locked me out "due to suspicious activity" and then later required me to provide a phone number. I never even made a post or really finished entering account information. So it seems it's now basically required for an account period.

I was outraged and agree with you. It also takes on a new cast in light of this FTC action.
I don't think pools or beaches have to be monitored by lifeguards anywhere that I have lived.

You just have to have a sign that says 'no lifeguard'.
It'll be exciting if the clock cycles keep stalling like they've basically been doing in the last few years and we end up having to learn and do things at this level again to squeeze out what we want happen out of a long-term fixed compute budget.
Oops, yes, -c indeed! Thanks!
This is really cool. I've worked on a lot of side projects in my free time, and my most successful one (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1607228378) pulls in just $11 in MRR. Even though it's so little, I get really excited when I get a new subscription or a subscription renews.

I've had a lot of trouble trying to market the app. I've experimented with Instagram ads, but the conversion rates were really bad. I'll try the Instagram accounts strategy you mentioned and hopefully that helps.
I don’t disagree that reparations is more than monetary, but it certainly includes monetary compensation and therefore it’s worth discussing.

The dilemma you described (using stolen goods to do otherwise good deeds) boils down to whether you want to take a utilitarian or deontological moral view. Having said that, no one (in our capitalist society, at least) would accept me stealing your car to drive patients to the hospital as OK, even if my car otherwise sits completely unused. And similarly, if I crashed your car while doing my good deed, there would be no question that I owe you a replacement.

I think the more interesting question about reparation is whether there is truly a “continuity” (of the institution, state, or country on the one hand, and of a family unit on the other). If there is, then obviously the institution owes everything needed to make you whole. If there isn’t, then they owe you the same as any other citizen.
The NRA has long been a poser organization riddled with corruption, their only useful characteristic being their size.

Strongly recommend you check out the GOA if you're 50 and under, since you're probably part of the huge new generation firearms community that cares about training, equality, activism, and community.
This seems very much US and academic field specific. Here in Europe when I did my PhD in physics the supervisor is the boss designing the project and giving out orders on tasks to be accomplished. As somewhere in this thread one mentioned it is a true apprenticeship.

It is though very much opposite of what new PhDs expects judging that from my own experience, conversations and confronting my supervisor who eventually frankly said that “academic freedom is not for PhDs”. This created an environment which reinforced itself.

This made me look PhD as a job which I tried to treat as such looking through cost/benefit lense. Probably, if my supervisor would not keep up with regular meetings I would have done less (after being introduced with concept of “academic freedom” for PhDs).

I would not look in that as lack of self motivation. In contrary at the beginning many PhDs were quite curios on what they do and what happens around them. But by the end of it many my colleagues went away from academia to work it in finance because it pays and frankly many have said that PhD is just a job. Thus I would assert that self motivation does not make PhD thesis alone unless if someone cares about it.

Harder, but far from impossible. I work with the adult (26+) I/DD population in the US (individuals with developmental disabilities) and one of their biggest challenges is coping with and learning to buffer emotional reactions, while also being able to understand the emotional experiences of others. This often takes years of practice, and sometimes therapy for a neurotypical individual to master. And yet, I see progress regularly enough in the I/DD population that I often wonder what excuse the neurotypical population has when they collectively display a lack of emotional checks and balances, or empathy.

We're reactive, sure, but let's not throw that out there and use it to discount the fact that we can, without a doubt, learn to control those reactions. Social change often moves at a glacial pace because of this attitude, when the reality is that it up to us, right now, to break the cycle or change the pattern.
Idk about this one, and 10x sounds past physical limits unless their original footprint was ridiculous, but I heard a story at Google that sounded kind of like this.

I think there was some colo in the day that charged only by sqft and gave away the electricity assuming customers would have reasonable densities. Somehow Google crammed a completely unreasonable density of machines into the colo. I would guess this was corkboard days. When the contract was renewed, the colo was sure to change the terms.

You would think. A while back it was the thing for some to walk into a store with a semiautomatic rifle around their neck, scaring the S out of everyone around them, just to prove that they have the right to do it and the NRA was their to support the right.

Walmart and such have had to post signs in many states stating that they don't allow firearms in the stores.

I agree with you but consistency is important.
