Their priority is also their weakness.

Just look at the slow Russian advance without railroads in eg. Kyiv in the beginning of the war. They were stalled for weeks, because the composition of their BTG's are based on nearby access to railroads infrastructure.

No, that’s the point: if you put this stuff in the standard library, it gets frozen forever, and that’s why Rust doesn’t.
Karateka is a poor example of Parallax on C64, as it apparently does (slow) bitmap scrolling in front of a static background.
Parallax on the C64 tends to rely on the ability to redefine the character set and effectively use it as a tile set. You can smooth scroll characters using the graphics chip, so you only need to move them every 8 pixels.

Combine that with multiple character sets and you get a variation of the Duke Nukem II approach for "free" - you scroll the characters for the background with the foreground, but you flip to a partially scrolled definition of the tiles.

Another approach often used when the background is limited in complexity, is sprites.

A third option is banding. E.g. if the background you want to parallax scroll is above the normal play area, you can use the raster interrupt to control the scrolling independently for each band.

A fourth option is a bitmap scroll of the tile data. This is "easy" if your parallax bands are limited patterns. E.g. you might fill one band of the background with 0123012301230123 over and over, and then just scroll that as a 32 bit pattern in the character definition.

In any case, the key to all of these is that few c64 games use the bitmap mode (a few do), and so you get to offset the slow CPU with moving far less data around. Tack on the hardware sprites and raster interrupt and you can do a lot of interesting stuff.

Here's a great page on Parallax in C64 games with some video:

Is the choice between having no intelligence service at all, and one that consists of warmongering, drug-running, black site torturing, extrajudicial assassinating, media infiltrating, Epstein exonerators?

Is that the only way to maintain a presence on the "global stage"? Are we in a stronger position for having spent trillions to replace the Taliban with... the Taliban? Was Vietnam smart? Was all that murder in South America for corporate profits justifiable?

I actually game on a Mac and have had fairly good luck with VMWare Fusion. Granted, I'm not playing the cutting-edge stuff, but I just finished Typing of the Dead: Overkill entirely inside a VM with no apparent problems. I have an i9 CPU, purchased the Macbook about a month before the M1 was announced.

I wish the "running hot" part was true for me. I feel cold so easily, to the point that I had to get myself checked out this year since my toes would go numb at the slightest chill.

The hunger thing rings true, though. I often just forget to eat and end up eating one meal a day or maybe a meal and a snack. Then again, on other days I might snack through the whole day. It seems to balance out though; after a day of frequent eating usually come a couple of those totally-forgetting-to-eat days.
The time of a changing world order is usually a time of war. I am not sure why you think it would lead to a more peaceful world.

Furthermore, I am not sure a world dominated by China would be more free and peaceful than a US-dominated world order.

I would also disagree with you assertion that the troubles around the world are due to US efforts to contain China. China could have easily stopped Russian aggression in Ukraine, but chose not to. China could have left Hong Kong with its autonomy, but did not. Had it made different decisions on those two issues, it could have gained tremendous soft power in the West, leading to pressure on Western governments for friendlier relations, peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue, and greater role in world affairs. As is, China has demonstrated that a world dominated by China would not be a nice one, and left the West with no choice but to resist its growth.

Now, I do realize that this view may be naïve, and that the US would have been resisting the rise of China regardless, leading to conflicts. Unfortunately, there is not an international mechanism for peaceful transition of power.

Sorry but that's just nonsense. Gaining muscle is beneficial at any age and can lead to better quality of life and longer longevity.

Gaining a lot of muscle and putting a lot of effort into gaining the muscle (bulking + workout) is where the troubles maybe appear.

Also, the metabolism of a 20yo is a completely different story frok the metabolism of a 40yo.

So to sum up: working out and staying in shape == good. Don't worry about gaining muscle. That's just nonsense

Diabetic?
I have currently exactly 20.0 BMI (1-3kg under what I consider my optimal weight), I don't really think I'm less hungry, more like I have better self control, obviously if I ate everything I like all the time I could easily gain 10 or more kg (I'm right now 11 kg away from my record weight), but my approach is when I reach certain weight I start limiting my intake to not go over and stay on my optimal target range.

Also you can get used to feel hunger, I think most of the people in developed countries eat so much and so often they don't even experience feeling of hunger.

Plus if you get used to smaller portions it's also easier to fill your shrunk stomach with smaller portions, it's about what your body is used to, it's all about self control.

When I started to travel around Asia I weighted 88kg (my max), after year of traveling, lot of walking/hiking when I found new job in China I had 68kg when I liked like skeleton from concentration camp, now I am on my optimal weight exactly in middle between.
There's an asterisk to that: they serve the underlying content through two different APIs so one can side-step the HTML wrapper around the bytes: the discovery phase has a formal API (both REST and GraphQL) for finding repos, and then the in-repo content can be git-cloned and one can locally index every branch, commit, and blob, without issuing hundreds of thousands of http requests to GH. One would still need to hit GH for the issues, if that's in scope, but it'd be way less http requests unless your repo is named kubernetes or terraform.

Imagine if you were living in this period - England was constantly at war, the trees had all run out, and quality metal was nowhere to be found. You would think you were in the late stages of humanity, not at the cusp of the greatest moment of human progress.

Also, if we wanted to go back even further, the true roots are probably the Enlightenment. Before Wilkinson and Watt and Darby could think to develop technology, they needed certain political rights that didn't exist to previous humans. The rights to privately acquire land, create corporations, sell across markets - things that lay people didn't have access to in earlier eras. And most importantly, courts that would enforce said rights for you!

And they needed double-entry bookkeeping! Perhaps one of the most underrated human inventions of all. Your wealth was no longer determined by how much stuff physically hoard, but by a record of entitlements.
I actually tried this and it didn’t work for me. My weight stayed the same. Maybe my body is just hopeless.

Th comment I was replying to[1] cites this[2] wikipedia section that is irrelevant to the topic and further comments in the thread mention the Glen Greenwald tweet. But, she didn't write the article wasn't written by her, but rather Marty Makary M.D., M.P.H. and Tracy Beth Høeg M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Makary. The source is on background, but that's typical for government agency sources who aren't whistle blowers. Any professor of medicine at Hopkins definitely knows people at the CDC, as many people from the Hopkins MPH program end up there.

Criticizing the meat of the article is fine, or pointing out a particular ax the author might have to grind is valid too. I'm taking issue with the criticism that Bair Weiss is a bad woman therefore anything on her site is fake news.

This is something that already exists, but I'd like to see more OEM Linux Laptops that aren't dropshipping Chinese laptops to you. In all fairness, some of these Chinese laptops aren't half bad, but I'd much prefer to see the approach being taken by Framework propagate through the community. The Linux desktop stack feels as mature as it's going to get, now we just need good hardware offerings.

If we're really making pie-in-the-sky wishes, I'd love to see some well-made, upgradeable RISC-V laptops make it to mass-market. I really want to start porting things over in preparation for a new wave of RISC software, but the hardware options simply aren't there yet...

That’s very interesting. I’m curious how it could relate to humans. Not to say it can’t be 1:1, but there are mental aspects that can effect human hunger and I’d be interested in research around that. For example someone who eats a lot but falls into a depression might slow eating considerably (or eat more depending on the person) it’s not to far fetched to consider the possibility of mind state altering medication that could stimulate the brain causing less or more hungry.

Not "with benefit of analyzing all their moves since 2004, does a clear strategy emerge?"

The rule would have been "you can't say everything is strategic."

I actually think they would have refused to play that game. Because calling things "strategic" is stupid.
Yes, IBM/Redhat decided to make CentOS less attractive to those who need a RHEL work alike. This was done on very short notice, leaving people with the uncomfortable decision to A) pay for RHEL B) tolerate a rolling release (not directly related to RHEL 8 or C) switch to another OS.

I mean the Duke Nukem 2 parallax is impressive because it's basically beating a square peg into a round hole.

The Amiga had a lot more helpful hardware. Lionheart really is an incredible title for squeezing so much out of the OCS chipset.
Maybe try Windows LTSB/LTSC. Not sure what will break, but there's a community around those.
YOu could also go back to Shadow of the Beast 1, much earlier on the Amiga, with a very impressive feat when it comes to parallax scrollings.

Honestly, PC games were a complete joke compared to whatever was on the Amiga, until Wing Commander 1 came out.
Hmm, maybe my memory is failing me, but VLB went from 0 to 100% on 486 motherboards pretty much overnight. The ISA bus limits (and hence EISA) were well known, and most of the SVGA cards being sold in the early 1990's (like those cirrus logic's) were "accelerated" to compensate for the lack of ISA bandwidth. AKA, they had blit engines, hw cursors, line drawing, etc, and windows drivers to utilize that functionality. I'm fairly certain, although to lazy to dig up the tech manual for them that the blit functionality included alpha channels. Given that 486's themselves were considered high end, I frankly never remember seeing one with an 8 bit EGA card, even 386's usually in the late 80's early 1990's were shipping with 16-bit (S)VGA cards because the 3rd party cards were fairly inexpensive. While EGA lived on in lots of games because it had some convenient modes, actual EGA cards were also fairly short lived in that little window before VGA was released so by the late 1980's weren't being sold with new machines. It was also fairly common to overclock the 8-MHz ISA bus to 10MHz on boards that didn't have VLB. Anyway, my point is that in 1992, low end machines were coming with Hercules graphics and monochrome monitors. Anyone who could afford a color RGB monitor wasn't getting it with VGA/EGA because the monitor was 80% of the price (few hundred dollars) and a 512K SVGA card was well under a hundred.

Anyway, I guess the benchmarks in there were to show how slow plain VGA was, but really by the time frame of duke nukem, 486SX's and VLB were radically changing the PC's performance characteristics, even on fairly low end machines.

PS: I still have the cirrus technical manuals because back in the 1990's you could call up these companies, tell them you were a software developer and they would send you a 400+ page technical manual that details registers and operational/functional characteristics of the boards.

pip-tools has a minimalistic design philosophy, while poetry and pipenv have a maximalistic one. In other words, pip-tools tries to do one thing well, while poetry and pipenv try to do about a dozen different things well and have various opinions on how to do them. Minimalistic tools often lose out to maximalistic ones in the short term, only to win out in the long term as the maximalistic ones lose the momentum and resources needed to maintain their feature set.

pip-tools was never advertised as well as poetry or pipenv, despite in my opinion being a better tool for the job, and having a best-in-class dependency resolver.
Python is "batteries included", Rust isn't. Different design choices entirely.

You can do a lot with pythons stdlib, and a lot of popular libraries (requests, for example) largely are just usability wrappers for underlying stdlib stuff.

Whereas with Rust, you have a very minimal std, and things you want to achieve are imported specifically.

The SMOM isn't a network state (it doesn't have pockets of sole sovereign territory spread across the world granted by different states as a result of ground-up political pressure from its members), though it is a sovereign entity that is not a traditional state (specifically, lacking any sole sovereign territory, though it has some diplomatic extraterritorial enclaves and some co-soveriegn territory with Italy.)
The point of this app is not really to have a place to store bookmarks, but rather make a new internet with the links you have saved.

Nope; they didn't find anything wrong at all luckily (aside from slightly lower blood flow in my right leg that didn't lead to any cause for concern after more investigation). Just said it happens for some people, especially at lower bf%.
It makes sense evolutionarily: if there's lots of food available now, you should eat it, because there might not be enough in winter.

We live in a society where there's always lots of food available for most people in developed countries (who are mainly the people who are overweight), so it makes sense that you will instinctively eat more than you need to.
This may not be generally practical, but just to get a prototype working I'm surprised they didn't employ gravity. The vacuum wasn't strong enough to lift the cob debris up 5-10' to the top of the hammer mill, but it certainly could have pulled it out of the bottom of an elevated tub grinder and down to a lower hammer mill.
I find it rather worrying in the long term. Russia has been an extremely inefficient and corrupt state for the past 2 decades. Export oil & gas, import everything else, let the cronies pocket the proceeds, while having most manufacturing, defense and tech exist mostly on paper. People like Rogozin were promoted based on the loyalty and willingness to give a cut of the pie further up the ladder.

Currently this trend appears to be reversing. The country is getting increasingly authoritarian [0], the economy is switching from a highly corrupt trickle-down-oil-money model, to centrally managed industrial economy driven by the war needs.

I don't like where this is going. If Russia is pushed back into its borders, it will take a couple of years to ramp up weapons production and will retry. If it manages to successfully take over Ukraine, it will very likely press forward to attack other ex-USSR states. If China decides to join the party and rally out against Taiwan, we pretty much have a guaranteed WWIII until mutual exhaustion.

It's really quite amazing how quickly it affects aerobic endurance as well. I had a knee injury, waited 9 months for surgery, recovered, did a self-planned physio routine, and started feeling ready to get back into aerobic exercise.

There was a 5km fun run in town that I figured I'd use as motivation. I did a slightly modified HIIT routine: walking warm up to the football field a few blocks away from my house, 8x flat out sprints from end to end with 15-30s recovery, and then cool down by walking back home.

I went from probably 15 months of completely sedentary life to running a 23min 5km race in about 6 weeks. I ended up finishing somewhere around 15th in the race, and every person who did better than me was listed as "M (18-23)"... and I don't even pretend that I can compete with testosterone-soaked young men :D
There was a post last week where this was debunked.

That said, I do hit for the cardio benefits of improving myself instead of thinking it's a weight loss miracle.
