Why is that surprising? The perl interpreter is fast and dispatches just about everything to heavily optimized C. Just like python does, it is only better at it.

This is the kind of thing where perl really shines.
This is already the standard for speedruns and high-score records for certain games. Partly just because it makes the recording more interesting to watch, but increasingly it's for evidence of not-cheating.

> VW’s leadership crisis has plunged the company’s electric-vehicle strategy into uncertainty

The word “electric” is redundant here. If there’s one thing the last few months have shown is that no country can be overly dependent on a single source of energy. EVs allow cars to be powered by whatever source of energy is available and can be converted to electricity.

Whereas ICE cars leave your nation beholden to whoever controls petroleum, which coincidentally or not, also happen to be amongst the shittiest countries in the world.

EVs are a very clear national security issue. And any car maker without focusing on EVs is gonna not exist a decade from now.

(I’m using EV as a stand in for a variety of potential technologies, such as hydrogen or something we haven’t seen yet…the point is that it needs to be an intermediary source of energy that can be created from a variety of sources. Currently EVs are the only one of those technologies that have taken off to any extent so it’s the most likely contender).
Who are you to moralize/legislate what people should and shouldn't be able to do with their own bodies? These people aren't harming anyone but themselves. Even if just about everyone agrees with you, no one has any reasonable claim to ownership over another's person.

Certainly. My point was that (perhaps) the grid in actuality has reliability issues, and the reason I thought that might be true is because of its current reputation.

Not to mention them saying "if you use AAA games, you may already have such a thing running already so one more won't kill you." whereas, in real life, it increases the odds that a system will get hacked due to it since the attack surface increases (The number of bugs in "EA+Riot" could not be less than "EA", but could be higher, and the other way around)

I had a friend who worked at Planet labs for a while - he had the craziest stories as to how laser based communication systems worked.

A while ago I tried to see what compression I could get out of screen recording losslessly to a scratch disk and encoding afterwards as slowly as I could wait. I didn't write any numbers down, but the difference in efficiency was significant. Some observations:

- Of the lossless encoders in OBS/libav, utvideo was the best in both CPU usage and efficiency, followed by lossless ultrafast x264.

- An SSD can handle even uncompressed 24bpp 1080p60, which is 375 MB/s. Typical screen content compresses well below the ~100 MB/s write speed of an HDD. Fullscreen video does not, instead gradually filling the write cache until either OOM or thrashing.

- For onscreen content, I prefer the bitrate tradeoff of keeping PC color range and not chroma subsampling.

This technique isn't as effective for this use case of recording several hours daily, since reencoding must be fast enough on average to keep up. Best to already have a home server (any spare desktop). Otherwise, use AOM codecs, known for poor multithreading, to encode at full speed without hogging CPU.

ps, temporal compression means that dropping framerate makes surprisingly little difference with modern codecs. But I really should be writing down the results of my ad hoc tests...

I'm guilty of not reading this paper in any detail but it feels that the default setting "nudge" idea should work as described. So if you e.g. nudge people by setting up a pension plan by default (that they can opt out of) does that seriously fail to cause more people to have a pension? Or is this claiming something else?
Unless their plan is “let’s get permissions so that if the subsidy is put in place, we’re ready to build.”

That doesn’t suggest that they’d build without the subsidy, but that they want to be able to take advantage of the subsidy right away, if it gets put in place.
>The unfortunate souls shipped to the New World as slaves were directly bought from Benin slavers, though, not taken in some kind of hostile pirate-like raid, which is the mental picture that the word "ripped" conjures to mind.

Agreed.

I estimate that 90% of Americans/Europeans would, if asked "how slaves were caught", would describe some variant of "white people sail to Africa, catch unwary Africans in giant nets, and sail away when the ship is full".
Suppose an experiment takes 5 years, nothing written after the experiment begin should have any barring on what was done and the resulting data.

The same is true to a lesser extent for any research. Now if the field has discovered some flaw in what was done then things go well beyond the simple need for a citation.
There are studies that show asymptomatic transmission, but at a lower rate.

This is very concerning. Installers on Windows in 2022 should not even require admin permission (only elevating if a user wants to install for all users). What if Riot had a supply chain attack and someone attached something far more malicious to the kernel?
The ebooks we work on are often very old, and have been illustrated various times over the years. We don't want to have to pick and choose a single set of illustrations, nor do we want to forced to constantly justify exceptions for everyone's pet book, so we just have a blanket "no decorative illustrations" policy.

Note that this only refers to decorative illustrations, which is not the same as an illustration required to understand the text. As someone pointed out elsewhere, books like Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie, which can include narrative-critical illustrations like a map of a murder scene, or nonfiction which can often have relevant pictures but are not "illustrated" in the decorative sense, get to keep their images.
One reason people don't use all the time is because it gets exponentially more difficult to track more and more pieces as the solutions also get longer. An intermediate cuber can easily 4 pieces in inspection and plan out where they go within 15 seconds, but an additional 2 pieces might require them to spend an additional 45 seconds or more. At some point you recognize your limits and you can't do any better with the additional time and you just go.
The protocols used for space communications are a mix of standards and proprietary.
For example, the SpaceX Falcon 9 uses an Ethernet-based protocol called XDR (evolved from NASA's TDM) to communicate with ground stations during launch operations; this is also known as "ground station control" or GSC mode in industry parlance. This allows engineers at both ends - on Earth & onboard spacecraft --to monitor telemetry data being transmitted by sensors aboard their respective craft via standard IP packets over TCP/IP using UDP datagrams when necessary.
So I'm not going to belittle you, I'd actually like to get to the bottom of what's going on here. You say you're a developer, but then ... I'm wondering why you think you can't solve fizzbuzz? Do you have trouble with loops? With conditionals? Do you have trouble knowing where to start? What kind of programming do you normally do (what languages or tools or frameworks do you use)? How did you learn to program?

Sometimes I've taught kids to program and they could solve it in a single lesson. Sometimes I've tried to teach people and they just couldn't learn at all. I'll probably end up teaching some more people in my time, so the better I understand, the better I can maybe help people in future. I hope you have a minute to help me out here!
I used to use chronolapse, a python program to take screenshots, including picture in picture with a webcam. It can use mencoder to create a video. I found I preferred using ffmpeg for my use case.
But when you call it "anonymous branching" you lay bare that the only advantage is that you don't need to name your work "branch", and meanwhile you have a workflow that's needlessly incompatible with most other git tooling.

In particular, since this is the one I see usually called out as a benefit of branchless:

Stock Git does not have good ways of rebasing a sequence of branches.

A sequence of branches can be rebased by rebasing (or otherwise rewriting) the longest one (the only one you'll need locally) then pushing the individual commits in the current branch to the remote under any relevant branch names. This doesn't take zero time, but with good git UIs it will take less time than remembering `git move`, and it's not especially hard to do with the stock CLI either.

Library Writing Realizations (2015)
Due to cheaters, anti-cheats, and a general trend towards invasiveness... I've been thinking that individuals compartmentalizing gaming to dedicated machines (e.g., gaming consoles, dedicated PC gaming rigs) is a good idea.

Separating out the requirement to run games, from the general-purpose computing requirements, opens up more options. It also pushes fewer people towards buying into Windows way of life for everything desktop/laptop.
Games? You mean literally every piece of software on (most) computers? Most default Windows, Linux, Mac single user setups are vulnerable to having everything be intercepted/exfiltrated by every program installed. Why would games be of concern specifically?
I did try to spice up thing with copious extensions and tweaks. But the problem is that you'll need to be on a fixed version then (no rolling OS) because every update breaks some extensions and it can take a while for them to be updated. It became a buggy mess. The tweak tool is better supported but even there if you have an issue the community is very happy to point out you're on your own.
For Microsoft you need a code signing certificate [0], shell out about $500 and to follow some instructions.

> I sympathize with the other comments explaining that Git is highly nontrivial, but I think the point is being missed.

Git is nontrivial and has many ways to do things, and it is only one of many ways to do most of these things.

If commit messages and merge squashing take the discernment and nose of a winemaker, you can't tell them to crush some grapes and leave it at that.
First of all, this isn't WW1. Secondly, there is a difference between using violence to impose an embargo on someone else (what Germany did and what the US threatens to do) and embargoing yourself, which no country has ever done ever.
You could probably sell that software.
Bzr has a pipelines plug-in which does basically this. Branches can be stacked on top of each other forming a “pipeline”, and propagating changes from one branch to the dependent / subsequent ones is achieved with one command, “bzr pump”.

Bzr has no concept of rebasing, so what you get is a simple merge, but with very little work on your part.

Can these effects be explained without inventing a new term? Because if they can then these studies didn’t really find anything did they?

Whenever I see a new term being introduced as an explanation I am hesitant to accept it, as it may turn out to just be explaining the planetary motions with epicycle, when the motions can be easier explained by moving the sun to the center of the solar system instead of the earth.
A lack of proper skip level management at all levels.

C* / VP is the one looking at the budget and deciding out-sourcing makes sense.

The problems with out-sourcing results are technical and detailed and only obvious to those at the other end of the reporting chain.

To a C* / VP, they see "Weird, my projects keep missing their schedules for no discernable reason."

To a developer, they see "This code is obvious shit and devs are missing basic hygiene practices."

There's no link from the latter to the former. And so out-sourcing continues.

I feel sorry for hunters. They are sociopaths, yet they think they're decent individuals. They operate without responsibility, as though Newton's Third Law of Motion doesn't exist, and actions have no consequences. There is really no difference between the Nazi with the human-skin lampshade and a hunter that decorates their walls with dead things as trophies.

The animals hunters kill are more human than the humans murdering them. Animals are people, and only idiots believe otherwise. All mammals have the same experience in the world, are sentient, with memory, experience joy, love, fear, pain, etc. Birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish all experience pain, and undoubtedly are sentient.

We really don't need ranchers any more, certainly not as many, probably only a tenth of them, maybe less than that. They need to train for new careers. With less ranchers, there will be less entitlement to natural resources, and much less animosity towards wolves.

I think we should arm the wolves, and only allow hunters to hunt each other. Everybody wins.

Bullshit. In real life nobody will hack you with a videogame anticheat kernel driver exploit.

They will hack you with a browser exploit, a ms office exploit, or just because you downloaded a malicious executable and decided to run it.

That's an extrapolation. There hasn't ever been in a country that decided to sanction themselves within wartime from most of the world economy, and leaked documents show that one of the reason China wants Taiwan to begin with is to make their trade more secure.
The logistical problems are already solved. WCA competitions have a strict set of policies designed to minimize people's abilities to cheat. When No Inspection was an official event, it operated similarly to how blindfold solving does today: the competitor removes the covering of the cube themselves after starting the timer.
I always figured leetcode was just a slightly harder version of fizzbuzz (because fizzbuzz really is a bit too easy.) You can often puzzle out a solution based on experience alone, if you've been programming long enough.

I guess the leetcode idea fell afoul of goodhart's law, and a lot of people just started memorizing algorithms instead?
Stocks aren't anywhere near as hyped, and countries aren't making stocks into legal tender ala Bitcoin, and Chivo. Not that I'm advocating for any of this BTW.

It just seems like a perfect storm of massive hype, a lot of very convincing marketing, and the wind blowing in the right direction between a pandemic, Brexit, war, and a possible recession.

When desperate, and many big names are involved, it can obviously look quite seductive. Used to work in this predatory niche about 7 years ago. Never again.
Wrong way to think about it. A lot of people, if interviewed, will never say out loud "All government is terrible," and yet will still knee-jerk react as if it is.

I assure you that I can find a TON of people who will reactively cheer any reduction in "government" regardless of harm, who would never say they are anarchists. This is many, if not most, so-called "Libertarians."
Yeah, I think a restraining order is a reasonable course of action. The 'strange neighbor' does not seem to have the best intentions and she could have easily spoken to the parent without involving the child.
The implication is that Riot only stands to gain a small amount of money if they decide to actually start a botnet using their customers' machines, with a lot of risk of lawsuit/bad PR if they do so; and that cheap cheat makers, due to their already-shady business and anonymity, are more likely to start selling botnet access on the side to make extra cash.
Linear algebra uses the Hermitian adjoint [1], sure, but how often do we graph or build functions out of it for analysis purposes? I understand that it is useful in formulating equations, relations, etc.

Linear algebra does a lot of things, ie. transpose, that aren't algebraic. I think it's important we understand what is computational versus algebraic. In that vain, linear algebra proves to be immensely useful, but we will trip ourselves if we start thinking certain aspects of it are analytic.

Anyhow, point taken, that image hardly looks interesting.

I think we agree and like you said, are just talking about aesthetics. I agree that the utility of math doesn't end at algebra or analyticity.

Great, so for the first few iterations hardware bans are effevtive!
My understanding is that this is incorrect, and it was coal power plants that weren’t properly winterized that failed. Of course you had a lot of people claiming the opposite, without evidence.

EDIT: Okay there was some loss in capacity in wind power, but the greatest loss in capacity was natural gas plants, which lost 15GW of capacity. I confused natural gas with coal as I don’t consider either to be climate friendly. Wind lost about 3GW of capacity.

The risk isn't that Riot uses the module maliciously. The risk is that the module contains a security vulnerability, and that someone else then uses it maliciously.
I think it’s important to have a system that works for you. For me, the key is having an organized way of capturing and organizing my notes so they are easy enough find when needed but not too much effort required at any given time (i don't want them taking up more than 1/2 hour per week).

I programmed for years (1981-1985) with line numbers and cassette tapes. In hindsight, yes, it was tedious, but you don't know what you don't have. I do remember being amazed at how fast a 3" [sic] floppy disk was when I finally got one. I don't think I have ever used a BASIC without line numbers to this day.
