Yes. Go watch a dozen or two of these videos, it's quite common for bystanders to interfere with police, endangering police, endangering themselves, and endangering other civilians in the area.

At 3:42 an onlooker throws a full trash can at the officers that are actively trying to handcuff an ARMED FELON that is fighting tooth and nail to escape.

I don't seem to be able to post on his blog (400 Bad Request), so posting here instead...

Interestingly, it looks like Rust (and C via clang) both generate something like the following as their one-at-a-time main loop:

.LBB5_14:
addl (%rcx), %eax
addq $4, %rcx
cmpq %rdx, %rcx
jne .LBB5_14

It's one fewer instruction than the Go version (because it has combined the MOV and the ADD), although I don't know whether that would actually result in higher performance.

I say their "one-at-a-time" main loop, because they actually seem to generate lots of code to try to take advantage of AVX or AVX2 to add 4 or 8 values at a time if available and the array is long enough!

It might be cheating, but summing an iterator over numbers is built-in to Rust, so summing an array is just: v.iter().sum()

The fun thing with this is that it's not just generic over number types, it's also generic over any type of iterator, so I can even use it to sum over the values in a HashMap: hashmap.values().sum()

That article came out just around the time 286 clones became affordable which was the beginning of the end of the 8-bit age. A 285 machine was still a little over $1000 but that’s inclusive of the monitor and a hard drive. The performance though was ‘on another level’ compared to 8-bitters and people like John Carmack and Mike Abrash were just about to figure out how to make games like Commander Keen.

You should consider adding Lively Vitamin Co, Clear Probiotics and Vital Planet to your list.

Brenda Watson sold Renew Life to Clorox a few years ago and was missing something in her life after. They called it “sellers remorse”. She is back with a new line of probiotics called Vital Planet. If you don’t know who that is, she is credited as being the person who brought awareness to the public around gut health, probiotics, and the microbiome in the 90’s.
The blog post is good in showing that the "non-starter" because cannot "display text correctly" doesn't hold. Specifically it talks about how Macbooks by default utilize fractional scaling that messes up pixel-crisp text. Gonna bet that there's a significant overlap between those that call for ridiculously for their size high res displays yet are fine with those defaults.
So you're building a business. Presumably you have a hypothesis for why it's going to work. Then some people tell you something negative. You give up despite not even being sure what they mean? If these were potential customers or investors that would perhaps [0] make sense. But if you think you're still right, and some irrelevant people simply have a different opinion (which you don't agree with), then just proceed. I assume the disagreement isn't about what the product is, but whether it can grow into a big business. The "feature" argument is essentially that it can't and won't, but surely you must have believed it can.

[0] still overrated since a small minority of them liking you may be enough and customer behavior is tough to gauge pre-product despite what many will have you believe
I am using 100% on my 1440p 14” without problems. I guess good then.
I can’t claim much about what people thought or did in their daily lives before the advent of written history but I do know that we still experience all of the same thoughts, feelings, vices, worries, failings and dreams that anyone who has ever kept a written record has throughout history. Our wider scale dealings and political intrigues are largely the same although dealing with different natural or technological events, the ones regarding interpersonal or strictly human matters are practically identical though.

You say that agriculture, writing and democracy have changed human nature but I argue they have only changed the backdrop against which the play takes place, the players and the lines are the same as ever. People didn’t think any differently when they were hunter gatherers, illiterate and living in a family group instead of a city. The subject matter would differ but the nature of the thoughts would be the same as if you were thinking about the same things.
> I assume they are better built than the mass produced stuff.

I wouldn't assume that. I'd assume this is a mass produced stuff going through an ODM like Clevo.

If it isn't, there certainly isn't any reason to expect system76 to be capable of better production than the "mass produced stuff" coming out of eg Dell's XPS line or Lenovo's Carbon line. Especially when those companies have decades of experience and tooling investments here.

But I also don't think the dismissal of "mass produced stuff" is really even fair here. The Clevo and other ODM designs have been quite good for a long time now.

Operating under the US military umbrella, as a major US & EU trading partner, had its advantages.

Japan's resource scarcity combined with long-term political stability (like Britain, it's been spared invasion for well over 1,000 years) promoted highly-efficient industry. Post-war industrial policy emphasized efficient transportation (motorcycles and small cars), and electronics, which worked pretty well up through the 1990s.

Russia had been industrially-backward until well past the Communist overthrow (and had lost a war to Japan immediately prior to WWI). It has mineral resources but a small population, difficult trsnportation challenges, and a precarious food situation. The country itself is huge and multi-ethnic, with a legacy that tends to breed frictions.

You can easily split solitons in water, just cut it in the middle and both sides will continue to live on as the water displacement field is still there.

On the other hand, try grab a part of an electron cloud around an atom and you will either get the entire electron or you will grab nothing. No matter what you do you can't separate one part of the cloud from the other, they are always connected. Trying to grab the electron will either remove all of the wave parts outside, or remove all of the wave part you try to grab. There is no classical system that behaves like this.

Sure, 1-2 officers responding to an incident are just going to arrest an angry crowd of 10, 20, 50 people while fearing for both their own safety and the safety of the public.

Better than average but the majority of laptops use the same hardware and drivers. A bad wifi chip here or an odd fingerprint reader there are the majority of issues.
It's not that hard, we have compute-intensive servers running 24/7 in production and written entirely in Python on our side, using C++ libraries like PyTorch.

You just have to isolate the complicated parts, define sensible interfaces for them, and make sure they are followed with type hints and a good type checker.
My point is not to suggest that the platform should be making value judgements, but that the user remember that it's not doing so. The authors you trust are ultimately just people, and people are flawed, and the medium exacerbates those flaws.
OOI, why System76 for those? As far as I can tell they're just off-the-shelf NUCs, and System76 are ~$200 more for a sensible spec than buying the NUC, some RAM and a good NVMe drive yourself.

How do you find them for noise? I had an 8th gen NUC that was unbearable under high CPU load - I replaced it with a slightly larger ASRock DeskMini X300 with Ryzen 5750GE and Noctua AM4 cooler that is silent, even under full load.
For companies who try to keep their tech stacks minimal and employable, and devs who try to develop marketable skills, CoffeeScript would have to offer some very significant perceived advantage for it to enter common usage. It doesn't, so there it is.

But this is front-end tech we're talking about, so who knows - maybe everyone will have to know PineappleScript in two years to do web dev. (Side note, I had to do a few googles to find a joke JS transpiled language that didn't actually exist - that should tell you how bad it is).
Nothing fundamentally wrong with a fantastical element, but the issue then is that the story essentially splits into 3, among the politics and human stories, the actual science parts, and the fantastical parts.

I bought the full set of Pragmata Pro on sale, but I also really like Iosevka.
If you like the style (slender/condensed), both are very appealing.

Pragmata Pro is several notches above in overall quality IMHO. Hand-hinting at smaller sizes makes a world of difference if this is important to you. This means you can use the same font from low-res console to a 4k monitor and will consistently look wonderful.

At higher DPI settings, Pragmata has a more cohesive sense of style. This is hard to quantify as it's quite subjective, but as pixel-perfect issues go away, the overall artistic direction start to become very important IMHO. The fact that this is done by a single individual shows in both little details and overall direction.

I'm not trying to push Pragmata, I just want to say that I think the price is fully justified and absolutely worth it. The work that went into the fontset is absolutely huge.

And as I said before, I also like Iosevka. Wonderful effort as well. It's slightly less packed, which I'm not super-fond of, and I find it only really shines if you have a high-DPI monitor. I use the different stylistic sets in my editor to subtly highlight different keywords.
Neither the violence nor the rhetoric have been equal on both sides. The right wing is deliberately ignoring that fact, because it lets them continue to escalate their behavior.
I have bad eyes but apparently not as bad as yours. Let's go ask a blind man if they prefer 1080p or 4K, that'll settle it.

If you don't see the difference, it doesn't mean there's none.

The problem is what you say: political and religious prosecution. Not today, but hey, who knows when, given a situation. So it is better they cannot have our data, right? I mean, that is the safe part of the fence.

I am concerned about any actor, as well, but take into account that a state has a huge amount of resources and if they are motivated enough can make your life worse than almost any private actor. It has happened in history, this is not something fictional.

The reach at which a private actor can harm you is much more limited in the general case IMHO.

Switch from "regex to english" and write "email".

Instead of saying it will match the string "email", it says the opposite, english -> regex conversion

> regex = /\A([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})\Z/i

> This regular expression is used to match an email address. It starts by matching any character that is not a space or the "@" symbol, followed by the "@" symbol, then any characters that are not a space or the "." symbol, followed by a "." character, and finally any characters that are not a space.
House price fluctuation is still local market dependent. People who purchased overpriced, new mass developer homes in saturated newer markets may suffer a contraction. Areas with supporting high demand, low inventory, and inability to develop newer properties will maintain increasing valuation, but not at the same rate. A savvy home flipper can still make money, it's just harder to do so with increased competition in that area.

This isn't a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis, in which financial institutions overloaded on mortgage-backed securities fueled by easy access mortgage loans without thorough loan application vetting. The deluge of foreclosures isn't likely to occur and people are likely to hold onto their houses and maintain firmer home prices during this slowdown.

Just had a brain fart... remember in the 90s/2000s. trucks and cars would have stickers that read

"This truck is tracked and protected by satellite" and have their numberplate painted on the roof.

Would be 'somewat funny' if you get stickers like that for laptops

'This laptop is protected by satellite and rdfi' and have some random macaddrrss as part of sticker.

This would be perfect to hide your ugly laptop logo :)

ok who is buying and how many stickers you all want ??

It is an amazing contrast with the situation when I was younger. House prices were bounded by wages and were understood to be depreciating assets. That is, without constant investment they lost their value and became unusable and difficult to trade. Even in the best of times it takes time, preparation, and fees to sell real estate. Landlording was a rich person's game because of the risk involved and if you really wanted to make money it was expected that any properties to be rented should be fully paid off because of the slim profits and high risk of damage to the property.

The whole idea of fearing loss of value was completely different: Nowadays houses are bidding chips and people want to make the numbers go up to feel rich. In the past sharp losses of value meant the area was no longer desirable so that people were not moving in and so wages would no longer support prices in that area. Either things were modest and relatively stable or unstable and sinking.

The current attitude toward housing is based on the recent explosion of house prices which is driven by financialization, extremely low interest rates, and demand outpacing supply where there are jobs. Economic, political, and demographic changes are very likely to wipe all of that out in a relatively short period.
Emergency types & context vary and the appropriate radio will depend on the situation. Sometimes it’s not just about the hardware, but knowing where & when to get a signal — and the best way to use the signal while you have access to it.

Beyond that, having apps, systems and data that are available offline and have appropriate plans for powering them without grid power is also critical.
I wanted to use Julia for some experiments but it's so confusing. I would call a function with VSCode and get "potential function call error" or something, with no details. Is it valid or not?

Also, I hate the idea of re-building all the code when the program starts. Python's JIT can at least ignore the performance-critical code that's written in C++.
The problem is that all existing tooling needs to adapt, from custom package repositories to security scanners. It’s no longer possible to use grep to find out which of your projects’ dependencies use a vulnerable package.
