They're really desperate for clicks and that has made the quality of their news really decline. Their pages are overrun by ads and even pop-ups now and that makes them really look like a tabloid.

Opinion pieces are strewn throughout regular news links, and that really cheapens the brand of news delivery they had.

In a highly competitive market, the key to winning is not to imitate competition, it's to decrease overhead costs and to deliver a higher quality product, but in the age of social media, everyone is losing sight of that because of the allure of instant virality and it's getting really toxic to normal human beings more and more every day.

They regularly forgo important local and international stories unless they're comical or sensational and it's contradictory to provision of news, and that makes them competitive with every single commentator in podcasts and on social media, which is silly because CNN has far mor resources than that competition. Too many of their stories are subtle ads for big industry products as well, which also erodes trust in their brand and increases potential for conflicts of interest in reporting objectively.

It's a terrible tragedy that they really watch reddit mostly to determine what is newsworthy, because Reddit and users there all have agendas of their own... The downvote/upvote system is not transparent and it has been totally compromised by brigading. News stories, especially online should not be competing with each other for noteworthiness, because everyone has a different set of things that are relevant to them... Now we simply have one pipeline for everyone, which is taken over by commercial or sensational interests, and quickly put on mute once it becomes boring or too repetitive, despite lives being deeply affected (e.g. Water pollution in Flint, Michigan).

This is why CNN is suffering a decline in revenue and spikes in hype during a time they could really shine most... They're wearing social media blinders instead of returning to the traditional book on news coverage.... That and all the pharmaceutical ads perhaps... (I am not a journalist FTR).
Porkbun.com – An Oddly Satisfying Experience
As a matter of fact, animal agriculture - including the growing of crops required to feed the animals before slaughter - is the largest contributor of greenhouse gases. You're right that there are other awful practices that need to be remedied, but not doing one because of the other taking place seems short-sighted, no?

Not eating meat is simply the single most impactful thing you can do to reduce human impact on climate change. Plus, it may also help your conscience, as there is a strong dissonance in our relationship with animals.

Food and nutrition is certainly important, and there is plenty of research that shows vegetarian and fully vegan diets are healthy at all stages of life; ADA recognizes this as well: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27886704/

The amount of options available have increased dramatically in even the last few years. Talk with your doctor and try it again sometime!

Lerna is defunct? Can you link any blog post about it? I thought the JupyterLab team was using that for their monorepo.

I do not like the prospect of having to use a TS/JS specific build tool, because of wanting to use monorepo, but fortunately, I did not yet have to do that, as I only ever developed extensions, and did not fork JupyterLab, to change anything core. Lerna and the whole setup brimborium is definitely something that scares me away from even trying to change things in the core.

Yeah I didn't get what that meant in the Godfather movie, but I got it when I read the book (which is amazing, so so good, not as good as the movie but still).

First CNN the way it is packaged and broadcast isn't really news, it's entertainment.

In this case, "Breaking" really just means - "latest development" so I don't really mind the word - the problem is the accompanying music and banner font and color scheme used make it seem like it's 9/11. So they say "Breaking", but make you think "Groundbreaking, earth shattering".

Hopefully the next things to go will be

* when they are interviewing someone that actually made a sacrifice to be on their program, like a civilian from a war zone, etc.. but you can tell the anchor is getting nervous because they have to go to commercial - I can't stand that.

* the news you must hear after the break where it took longer to tell you it was coming up after the break than to just tell you the news

All these cable channels probably have great reporters and news staffs but getting you the news is secondary to advertising, which is fine, I understand that, it's just the medium is not that well suited since it requires frequent interruptions and baiting you into staying through the break. If it has to be broadcast, the news hour with Judy Woodruff on PBS is the best in the US. Yes, it's curated, can't possibly cover everything, but they make decent editorial decisions.
I think of a wavetable as a system with multiple short, periodic waveforms, where you can interpolate between them. On the PPG, you get something like 32 waveforms, and interpolte between consecutive ones. On the Prophet VS, you get 4, and you interpolate between all 4 at the same time.

It sounds like you use a different definition, which is fine. I don't think we're going to learn anything by litigating this kind of disagreement.
>The monarch is the disabled root account of the nation. The government is the sudoers

except, even with "disabled root account", you can do "sudo su" to get a root shell. What's the equivalent of that in uk?
None of that monarchs is involved in actual legislative, executive or judicative activities. Sure, they are heads of state, but that's where it stops. European monarchs don't write laws, don't sign laws, are not part of the elected government.

Did any terminal ever implement the ANSI escape codes for block mode (i.e. form) fields?

The block mode terminals on IBM mainframes (e.g. the 3270) have all the functionality of a basic HTML form if you squint hard enough: the screen is divided into form fields and labels, the user can fill out the fields (and tab the cursor between them) while the terminal is offline/not communicating with the server, and then when the user presses one of the special 'submit' keys the terminal sends all of the data from the form fields to the server and awaits instructions on what to do next.

The 3270 even had hidden fields, so the server could stuff a bit of state information (like a session ID) into the form, which the terminal would dutifully echo back to the server when submitting the form....

It's a very different style of interaction as compared to the conventional Unix/PC character-by-character terminals, and leads to some pretty weird user interface conventions:

Salesmen can try and avoid customers that look like they might be a PITA, they mostly don't. It's really not a problem in practice when someone

Your boss has a list of all tickets. There is no list of all possible police interventions so it's going to be way less obvious when a policeman does it. Also salesmen avoiding undesirable customers absolutely is a problem. You just don't happen to be the type they ignore (e.g. obviously poor people)

> You're damn right I don't want the cops enforcing a state law on weed, or anything, when they know that a greater fraction of the locals consider said law unreasonable and would just give them a 0/5 for it.

It's not about what a greater fraction of the locals want though. It's about what the particular person they are contemplating enforcing a law against wants.
What does "master password" mean? What is the meaning of the word "master" in this context?

Is it like a master key? A master key operates all locks in a set. Other keys can each open one lock.
The master key doesn't own or otherwise control the other keys. It "lets you in everywhere" directly.

A master password is a password used to control access to other passwords.
The other passwords are slaves. This is a master-slave metaphor.

Also, changing which word you use to refer to a thing is really not that hard.

I remember a github repo like this from ages ago. How is the token used? I assume the token has a function that triggers an abort, but does that mean the downstream code has to constantly check the token, or does it simply generate a fault/exception at the lowest level that bubbles upstream? I'm not sure of the token mechanics.
I think it is simply a consequence of technology enabling instant global communications and decreasing marginal costs precipitously giving bigger players an enormous advantage.

[Discovery CEO] Zaslav and mentor and investor John Malone have been public about their push to bring CNN back towards hard news coverage, and away from progressive commentary.

I had missed that. That's very welcome - I hope they succeed. I imagine it could be very hard to pull this off after a ~decade of whatever CNN has been doing though.

More context: Discovery and WarnerMedia (former CNN parent company) merged back in April. The resulting entity "Warner Bros. Discovery" is led by David Zaslav, Discovery CEO since 2006.

Great observation, however Social Security only has 11 years before the system as we know it today has to cut payments [1]. I too would love to know the breakdown of the 200k.

It's 2022, and Windows 11's ISO lacks drivers for 2020 laptops Linux and BSD has
Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft, but not on Windows. I am a FreeBSD "Ports" (packaging) committer.

I own a HP Spectre x360 14" which dual-boots Windows 11 and FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT. The Spectre is my personal laptop. I recently reinstalled Windows.

Laptops on Intel's TigerLake platform use something called VMD which supposedly helps with Intel's Optane SSD by taking over the NVMe. Some laptops like Lenovo ThinkPad models allow you to disable VMD, but my Spectre does not, so you need a second USB to sideload the drivers.

What else? There is no touchpad on the Windows installer. Linux and FreeBSD both have had TigerLake touchpad drivers for a while.

I remember working with a developer to build FreeBSD drivers for the VMD, and submitting a patch myself for TigerLake touchpad, and both are in FreeBSD 13.0 from over a year back.

Yet neither are in Windows 11's ISO, even the latest "Visual Studio" downloads, and on both Windows 11 Home and Enterprise.

The mainline Linux kernel has drivers for Apple M1 outside the GPU, something that needs many man-hours of reverse engineering. Windows 11 doesn't even have drivers long committed in the Linux and FreeBSD trees.

While I can install Windows 11 on an 8th Gen WhiskeyLake Spectre fine, touchpad and NVMe, it's a hassle on 11th Gen hardware even when the hardware isn't even super new, 12th Gen laptops are already out.

I guess the wrong person at Redmond got the note for the drivers :-). If someone reading this works at Windows, please add drivers for Intel's VMD and TigerLake/AlderLake touchpad.
Yeah, Android has the same.

I would argue this can only be proven by showing the number of individual users buying crypto over time. Of course, due to the pseudonymous nature of crypto this is impossible to prove. One person can open 10 billion accounts and make a minor transaction on each in the extreme case. Do you have any data that proves your case conclusively?

Most political positions are really about group membership and we want to read things that re-affirm that we belong to those groups. The easiest way to do this is to attack some "other".
That all depends on the temperature ;-)
>Do you have any sense of how long these works are?

While I have no clue on these specific works, I tend to use things like books of the Bible as a benchmark. Other works have similar length "books," like Caesar's "Gallic War" is split into 8 books of 5000 to 15000 words each or Aristotle wrote 400 books of about a thousand lines each.

Maybe some are significantly longer, but I'd assume the majority are that length. Keeping longer works in one piece for centuries is incredibly challenging.

Engineering Levels at Honeycomb: Avoiding the Scope Trap
> but in the age of social media,

I honestly doubt that social media has anything to do with it, but rather the consolidation of ownership of news sources over this same period of time and an ongoing desire to have very high ad sales rates while having rock bottom news room costs.

This is simply the result of that financial calculus playing out over the past two decades.
Sometimes I wonder if folks want nutritious food, or just potato chips.

It's the same sort of thing, I think. There's what we say we want, and there's how we behave, but (what is often lost on advertisers) how we behave is not always an indication of what we actually want. I'll eat potato chips, but I really do want nutritious food.
What's interesting is that, from my experience, they are one of the few schools that don't recruit from the same "pool" of talent as everyone else.

If you want to do engineering in French, it's either score a spot at EPFL, or go to Polytechnique in Paris (very small) or all the way to Polytechnique in Montreal (8 hours flight time?).

Suppose a GoI website is geo-blocked such that only the citizens of India can access it.

Now that a global vpn company has removed its servers out of India, does it mean its customers (while using that vpn service) is blocked from accessing the said website?

Reducing it down to "O(1)" is disingenuous. While true, that "1" in the Big-O can actually be pretty large.

If my car burns 30 gallons of gas every week regardless of how much I drive, then that'd be pretty damn bad considering I work from home and drive <15 miles per week on average. The fact that I could then drive a 2,000+ mile road trip and still only burn that 30 gallons doesn't make it good if I never make a road trip like that.
I'm curious which model you're referring to. I scanned pages and pages of options without considering Seek.

One of my requirements, I probably should've mentioned, is that the unit had to run standalone -- no smartphone app. I've got enough useless e-waste in my closet that requires the obsolete 30-pin iPhone connector or whose abandoned app has long vanished from the app store.

I agree with you overall points.

For historical reference for folks who are interested in the poker boom of the 00s but were not there, it’s more like 20 years, if not more.

The book Let There Be Range was published in 2008.

High stakes players were discussing the issues covered in that book amongst ourselves (live and online) with quite a bit of sophistication for several years before that.

All that said, and supporting the point made above, advanced computational support for ranges (esp. via “solvers”) didn’t really start becoming a thing until the early 2010s.

There's a market for cruise ships... as a destination. There's basically no market for ocean liners. There's, what, one left?

I've driven across the country, twice, and I can recommend that too. It's no prob if you have good luck with hitchhikers.

Coast to coast took just about 72 hours.
