https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazelle

Jazelle was an instruction set extension to allow natively running java bytecode on Arm processors. Arm never seemed to give it any proper care and attention necessary for it to make any actual market impact, they didn't even publish the ABI.

Transmeta, that used to employ Linus Torvalds at one stage, had Code Morphing Software:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmeta#Code_Morphing_Softwa...

It was built in to the silicon, that essentially operated as a full JIT for x86 software, translating to back-end VLIW instruction set. Transmeta seemed heavy on the marketing and buzz (hiring Linus was very much a marketing move), light on the actual execution. Crusoe didn't even remotely live up to their own buzz and it just about killed off their chances of success.
Picking a color from a pallet of similar colors is explicitly rejecting the nearby colors on the swatch.

It is exactly the opposite of a weak vote for nearby colors.

Of course, "nearby colors" depends on which axis (or axes) of the color space is/are changing, the rates of change, and what is the criterion for ordering the aspects of color.

Historically, voting on colors is a strong tradition in color science.

Because color is a property of human perception not a property of the external world...turn out the lights and the apple isn't red any more.

Just remember, clicking on refresh and searching the net what is going on want make the problem go anyway faster. Few of us urgently depend on email just this hour. An even if you do setting your alarm to some suitable interval and just doing something else is much more productive. Just act like the Arab cliche taxi driver who takes the hands of the steering wheel when it gets tight and say Allah will steer (No insult to anyone, I have never visited any Arab country. Probably the story is not true anyway, but a nice anecdote to accept things you cannot change.)

When hackernews was down recently I wanted to report it as big news in our company chat. But it was rather late here and I had already closed all work stuff for the weekend. So I first slept and when I woke up everything was working again. Oh yeah, I missed to share the scoop with my colleagues, but I guess I'll manage without any damage to my professional reputation.

Edit: Reading post-mortem afterwards is a different story. If it's well written instead of some corporate communications emptyspeak one can learn something. No mistake happens only once.
I'm not a design or front-end type of mind, but seeing the terminals and visual design in TL inspired me to try working in CSS to achieve the same colors/glow.
> Any educational institution will inculcate its students with a way of thinking with regard to politics

Probably, but generally not one consistent way as the central goal of the degree program.

> Apparently you happen to have been indoctrinated into the prevailing ideology of political Liberalism, which holds that Church and State should have no public interaction whatsoever.

To the extent that may be true or false, it has no bearing on the descriptive statements about the upthread claim that the equivalent of what this college provides is available from local community colleges in the US, which is not a (positive or negative) normative claim about the desirability of the program offered.

> There's nothing unusual about a Catholic institution teaching that Catholicism is true

The central focus of this institution’s program is objectively unusual among Catholic higher education institutions in the US, though it may be less unusual for the civic orientation part of it to be an included focus in other institutions.

But, in any case whether it is unusual for Catholic institutions is as immaterial as whether or not it is desirable, this subthread is about the claim that the same is available from public community colleges in the US, which is not only very much not the case, but would actually be prohibited by the interpretation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments that has been consistently applied since the 1940s.
Your comment reflects typical nostalgic time bubble lamentation about culture "decline" due to rapid development change. Lots of older gen Chinese miss Mao's China too and complain about the decadence and corruption caused by new wealth. Meanwhile most of country eager to dig themselves out of subsistence are running after quick growth cash and pickup trucks. It sucks being poor.

> Just repeating "landlocked country" twenty times doesn't paint the clearest picture.
...
>untapped mineral resource

Being landlocked is one of the major development traps, it's highly relevant. And the point is Laos is landlocked AND underdevelopped in both infra and human capita. They're not going to be Switzerland without generations of development, if ever. All those untapped resources can't be economically exported relative to sea trade... incidentally why PRC rail development in Laos also game changer. Improves economics of rare metals (gold, Laos other huge export) but less for bulk cargo like agriculture. Laos has zero prospect for being an ag-commodity export power. The most profitable specialty ag trade had export potential of something like 600M. There's simply a ceiling on how much ag can uplift, it's why largest growth sector in last 20 years is industry, which requires capital investments, for a poor country like Laos, it means FDI and period of upheaval caused by new wealth and modes of exploitation.

> never knew how to handle that

Yeah that's what happens to nouvel rich everywhere. That's a sign of development. Laos is not usefully connected to English sphere via geography... again they're landlocked and only large economic connector is PRC. If people want to make money therer it's only prudent to learn Chinese and which will increase integration, especially in border regions. Why would Laos look to rest of world when the fastest growing region is Asia? Learning English is one way street to being brain drained and losing your best.

> GDP but it is a poor measure of healthiness of a society

This is true, ergo why Xi prioritized correcting the excesses of Deng's unbalanced growth that had caused huge problematic culture shifts. Every country that's gone through rapid growth will need manage that transition. Per capita GDP is strongly correlated to Human Development Index for a reason, you need money to make a healthy, educated, productive society. At end of day Laos/PRC relationship enables Laos to have more omney than her geography would otherwise enable. It's not upper income but it's a path out of subsistence if managed properly by Vientiane, which they may absolutely fail at.
Or have an Option (or Maybe) type. This is how modern programming languages solve the nil issue, I don't see a reason why a database couldn't take the same approach.
> I’ve read that people are working on deriving psilocybin from yeast but haven’t heard much as of late.

They were successful. A team at the Technical University of Denmark inserted the genes to synthesize psilocybin into Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast) [1] and they had excellent yields:

> a final production strain producing 627 ± 140 mg/L of psilocybin and 580 ± 276 mg/L of the dephosphorylated degradation product psilocin in triplicate controlled fed-batch fermentations

It's likely the means it will be produced commercially if it becomes a widely-approved drug. Not sure the average person will be able to get their hands on that strain easily anytime soon though. I imagine it'll be guarded as a trade secret as strictly as those modified E. coli that pump out human insulin.

I have the same experience! On the integration side of things, ldap is often easy to configure. Most software just works, when you know your parameters. The server side, however is a whole different story. It feels like most enterprisey implementations are ancient, even though they have active development going on.
Respectfully, that's a fantastic set of "rules" which will justify unconditional piracy, since no studios of any size will offer anything but a license to watch their content. That's how the market has been built.

Even DVDs will fail this test.
You know that sentence "A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what’s the problem"? Being a "monoid" is exacly why monads are very much about sequencing.

So, if I understood correctly, the article seems to say 'learning with errors' problems are now found to be efficiently solvable by quantum algorithms.

However, I seem to remember that many NIST post-quantum crypto algorithms are based on variants of LWE problems.

Is this the same sort of LWE problems, or does the new speedup not apply for some other reason?
$22k for a Model S battery doesn't sound very wrong to me, but it's going to be almost all materials and not a lot of labor. The battery I mentioned lists for $5500 from Honda, and it is only 17 kW-h. A Tesla has a 50-100 kW-h pack, so I would expect the cost to be proportionately larger, with a slight discount given Tesla's large battery purchasing power.
You are coming across here as a terrible elitist. Language is unnecessary. Referring to people as the "unwashed masses" and then a comparison to chimpanzees. In the context, this reads like de-humanization.
> They will literally cancel your visa and send you back home for admitting smoking weed in the US.

No they don't. They explicitly state, "we do not care what you do on your travels, only that you do not bring any forbidden substances with you across the border."

If you BRING something measurable (beyond a trace sample they wipe from you or your stuff) then they can take action like what you suggest. Admitting to them you do take substances on your travels is irrelevant to them.
> Sometimes they legitimately don't know. It's a good opportunity to help them understand how much work goes into what you do.

In my experience, they definitely don't know. But no amount of explanation is going to do it for them; any explanation is going to be met with stuff like "well, there must be a simpler way", which is a hell of a statement when it comes from someone who has no idea what they're talking about.

And oftentimes, at the point where you're making the estimate, you don't know how long "A, B, and C" are going to take. You might know how long they will take if the system underpinning "A, B, and C" do their jobs, but they inevitably won't do their jobs, and the extra time is usually working around the failings in systems that you have no choice but to use.
This is the my take as well, that often gets me in trouble. I just don't get the entitlement. Someone makes a movie, and gives you one option to view it. Permanently, once, for 2 years, whatever it is. Now you have the choice to watch it or not. Instead, people go into the negotiations with the starting assumption that they will consume the content, and it's up to the producer of the content to get them to pay for it. I don't get it.
>That's like calling 9/11 "a few planes being temporarily diverted from their flight paths".

Yeah it wasn't 9/11. It was more like a 2005 myspace flash-mob that was part of a poorly thought out product promotion.

> ... popular vote ...

We don't elect by the simple popular vote. Amend the constitution to change the rules. By the current rules, it was a squeaker. The "battle ground states" are battle grounds not because of widespread voter suppression, but because the brand of the other team is so bad there.

> You're advocating for terrorism.

Yeah. Medicare for all is terrorism I guess.
Can someone explain why this won't result in a renaissance for peer to peer and e2e encrypted chat/forums/social media etc.? When government or industry makes it nearly impossible for consumer needs to be met we inevitably see a grey and black market spring up to meet those needs. My prediction is that if legislation like this becomes widespread we'll see a freely distributed application rise to prominence among a gaggle of others, it'll dominate the chat and social market until even grandma is using it and the establishment will have a right proper freak out as other social media giants implode and everyone is communicating anything they want with zero oversight from the government or industry. This is roughly how I remember the Napster affair going when DRM was pushed hard by the recording industry, it eventually collapsed but not before dealing a massive blow to the status quo and forcing a transition to streaming.

For me, the first thing is "leftwingers tend to be ugly and rightwingers tend to be beautiful". It seems to mostly be political shitposting.
FWIW, that probably shouldn't be taken into consideration either? I'd argue they should "clean room" the sentence by having a second judge read an assessment of the evidence by the first judge and have them conduct the sentencing, lest sentences be more about how people look than what they did (and allowing laws to continue to be overly harsh but with enough last minute exceptions that no one "important" has reason to complain).
As someone who watch too much This Old House as a child, and lives in the PNW, if you live in a particularly humid part of the world I would strongly suggest you keep your mushroom experiments outside.

There are some non-zero risks around having saprophytic mushrooms producing spores inside or immediately outside of your house. I need to replace the framing around my back door and add a roof over it due to water damage, which I can tell because there's baby turkey tail about 4 inches up from the sill.

Exactly what the name reminded me of. It makes the name even more fitting.
No, that's not from downvotes, that's from "flagging".

Personally I only flag spam and hate speech, but some people get really upset by certain posts and will flag them rather than (or in addition to) downvoting.

With enough flags the post becomes "dead" and then you can't reply to it, and it's hidden by default. It's possible to un-flag it with the "vouch" option.

I think flagged posts are often reviewed by dang (a moderator).

>involved cleanliness, usage of needles, autoclaves and so on, right?

Most of the cleanliness is overblown. It makes sense if you are running a commercial operation, selling a starter, but less important if you can tolerate some failures.

I had a friend who grew 20x 5 gallon buckets at a time and this was is process:

1) Boil grain and and put it in mason jars in the kitchen

2) Cut a piece from the inside of a mushroom and add it to the grain in the kitchen

3) wait until it grows
4) Fill a 50 gallon trash can with wood chips

5) Pour boiling water into the trashcan outside

6) Transfer woodchips and grain to 5 gallon bucket in a dirty greenhouse

As you can imagine, this wasn't a very sterile process, but it worked fine for hundreds of pounds of Oysters.

>there's no inherent right to view this content.

this is true. I do like to support content creators.

The thing about TV and movies for me is that I hardly every re-watched things so streaming felt ok (I still do this). Though the pandemic though I did bust out some of my very modest DVD collection and rewatched and dug a little deeper, which I enjoyed.

Some of the DVD "extras" where pretty fun and haven't migrated to streaming/youtube. (for example some of the music in "The Life Aquatic" was music from "The Royal tannenbaums reversed and adjusted. Written by a guy from Devo).

The comparison with Jucero was unfair. This device does automate temperature control, misting and light. Which I understand is necessary for mushroom fruiting. I’m not sure what they do for the colonization phase which I understand is a necessary prep step. Although I bought a colonized Lions Mane log for $20 at the farmers market so it can’t be too complex. That being said the instructions I received for fruiting are pretty simple too so I’m not sure I’d buy this device unless I wanted a kitchen counter conversation piece. Or a science fair type toy.

Also Jucero was even worse than you think. It squeezed juice out of little plastic packets.
I was thinking of Tron just a couple hours ago, indirectly, because of public reaction to a video of a recent DJ set. The DJ (named Blessed Madonna, formerly Black Madonna) played Thomas Bengalter's 1995 Ventura. The video was had a lot of clips mixed in reacting negatively to the song and the DJ's skills on her mixing deck. Most of the comments were very disparaging. Knowing who Thomas Bengalter is, a co-founder of Daft Punk, it was bind blowing how people could react so negatively to the same sound behind the acclaimed Tron soundtrack.

Good clients are like good jobs, few and far between. Contracting is not the solution to bad jobs, a good job is the solution to a bad job.

If you can find good clients, contracting can be great, but bad clients can be a real drag: it’s easier to quit a job than it is to fire a client.

I’d recommend giving it a go, but don’t expect it to be better, just different. Personally, on balance, I prefer it and don’t plan to go back to full time… but it’s often just as defeating.

(Regarding how easy it is, it’s very easy, anybody who can get a full time job can do contracting, software engineering contracting is in high demand, always.)
He also never actually had anyone killed, the feds created the personas attempting to 'extort' or 'steal' from DPR. The feds detailed their transgressions to DPR and introduced the idea of murder + offered to commit the murders for a fee. Afterwards they fabricated evidence of the hit(s) to steal money from him. --These were the "above board" official and sanctioned things that the feds did during this investigation.

Shaun Bridges of the US secret service and Carl Force of the US DEA were siphoning bitcoin off to their personal accounts throughout the investigation. Bridges even tried to flee the country while on bail.

Think what you want about Ulbrict, but the cops that took him down were every bit as dirty as he was, if not more.
You can vendor your go dependencies the same way as you can java. Go is perfectly happy developing on non internet capable devices. In fact after vendoring the go tool will happily serve all of your documentation via command line or localhost web server so you don't have to go searching the web. It may deserve a closer look from you.
It will probably just lead to a rise in VPNs to access services that block British users.
And while you can link a gcc-compiled kernel with llvm-compiled rust, apparently you lose some link-time optimization, and with that control-flow integrity [1]. That's a potential security concern for the kernel, in addition to the usability issues of using two toolchains.

> This is also the same reason why I prefer macOS over Linux for my OS: forces me to fiddle less with customization because it has less

Similar here, although it has more to do with the defaults on macOS being generally decent and needing less fiddling with. I can have a brand new Mac ready for productive work in half an hour tops without any maintenance of dotfile repos or config transfer. Fine tuning things to a fully preferred state takes a little longer, but it's not even remotely critical and can be pushed off until I have some downtime due to being blocked.
TCGplayer to Acquire ChannelFireball and BinderPOS
Official ISF tournament rules[1] say:

> Touching one of his own pieces does not
oblige a player to move it.

It also says:

> Psychology, bluff and misleading manoeuvres
are considered important aspects of Stratego.
Bluffing consists of all verbal communication
(talking) or non-verbal communication (acting,
mimic or feign) which is intended to mislead
your opponent. All forms of bluff are allowed at
any time during the game, unless prohibited by
any other rule. Abuse will be considered
unsporting behaviour and can be penalized
accordingly.

So I think you won.

Can definitely see that being an issue for many people. I think as long as a person is aware that demanding someone to speak English is the wrong attitude, most humans want to try to convey what they're saying.

I'm kind of the opposite of you. My hearing is extremely sensitive to a fault and picks up more than I even want. I'll say that I'm easily overwhelmed when there is a lot of competing noise though.
