> that cuts into short-term profit margins.

We can always change how profits are made in farming, and farming tends to be one of the areas that even "free market" economies like the US tend to interfere the most in.

I would be far far far more concerned about the change in labor requirements needed to use these methods. If we suddenly need 30% of our workforce working in fields in order to feed ourselves, profit is not the problem.

And we also need to evaluate these methods for actual increases in ecosystem diversity. When it comes to the ecosystem and land use, most of the population evaluates aesthetics rather than actual environmental impact in terms of how much of the non-human ecosystem is allowed to flourish. Which, for example, results in lots of people thinking that placing their homes in the midst of lots of greenery, sprawled out, is more environmentally friendly than a multi family apartment complex, or a small village with houses right next to each other, where you can walk for most of your daily needs.

Whereas in reality in most ecosystems, the constraint is land untouched by humans, so that apex predators have enough land to exist, and enough of the smaller creatures to feed them. It is very good for humans to live amongst nature, but especially with suburban sprawl we have taken that desire to live amongst nature and made it one of the most environmentally unfriendly ways of existing.

Steak is significantly safer than other types of meat, and steak in particular is significantly safer than salad.

My man you don’t have a TS clearance and you’re not on a need to know basis. Ongoing US DoD budgets are out of your element. Any public information is useless conjecture or hearsay.

$2T is a different problem and old news. Your $16B is a drop in the bucket and an acceptable cost of doing business.

Just to give you a little insight into the process here: The US annual military budget is around $800B year after year. How many times has the US been able to spend this little money to have a client state destroy so much Russian equipment? Maybe in Vietnam when the US was directly destroying Soviet equipment given to the VC. But that was hugely expensive on the US side

Yes, but if it's truly social it won't be easy. There need to be ways to see who did what and filter them out and various groups / spheres of influence. Just like in real life.

If it is a hidden algorithmically social function then of course it will be gamed.

But IRL there are certain people whose advice and recommendations you value and those whose you ignore. And in other cases you can easily ask the source of other information to find out if it is high value or not. MLM is the gamification of the IRL social structure and it's fairly easy to opt-out.

That's what search needs, a way to see the path information took to be presented to you and a way to filter it.

Unfortunately right now, so much of the best information is in Facebook groups, post and comments. The interface there is absolutely horrible though and not designed to provide you information, but to maximize the amount of ads that come across your screen.

The same is true for video information. It's not easily searchable or digestible. The web peaked when information was predominantly text form and not fragmented into walled gardens.
What you're describing is an internet that hasn't existed since 2006, or whenever Jquery and Ajax started becoming mainstream.

Sites containing "fonts and scripts" are not baggage. They have just been updated for modern times. Sites have to measure traffic somehow, and it's not going to be via a "Guest Counter" widget like they had back in the Geocities days.

Termux is an excellent piece of software, I recently saw a security researcher from Zambia using only Termux for his development[1] and research as he couldn't afford a computer. I'm sure there are plenty more like him in developing economies, Where using smartphone for better computing is not just a lifestyle but a necessity for livelihood.

Because Google with its Playstore API restrictions has stopped Termux from releasing in Playstore, It has robbed people in the similar circumstance as that Zambian gentleman of the opportunity. Now, One has to have enough knowledge about existence of third party app stores like F-Droid to make use of Termux like applications.

Even then, Android's enthusiast scene is highly dependent upon 'privilege escalation', To auto update Termux from F-Droid it needs root.

And that's exactly why I'm evangelizing Linux smartphone at every chance I get, I'm not telling those who couldn't afford a PC should move on to a Linux phone, I'm telling we need to break the duopoly in the mobile ecosystem to gain back the freedom in mobile computing. Linux phone, Especially aftermarket projects like pmos seems to be best bet for me since coincidentally developing economies are e-waste dumping grounds for the rest of the world.

You can’t make such conclusions from your own experience. It is one form of bias. There are many variables.
For me it is the opposite, for example.
It’s perfectly adequate for stability. People have suspended printers in midair with elastic cables, or printed upside down, and prints have come out fine. The printer frame is providing most of the rigidity in this case. Don’t get me wrong, people that place their printers on spring like things tend to get lower quality prints so there is a limit there.

The downside about the IKEA particleboard over hollow cardboard core is more about sound and resonance imo. It can act as a speaker for printer vibrations and amplify that sound in the same room or to the floor below it.

A popular “mod” is to place a concrete paver block on top of some isolation pad, typically made of rubber or sorbothane to increase the functional mass of the printer and lower the resonant frequencies created during printing.

I personally have two of those enclosures stacked, with a printer in each one.
You're right. Editing.
Can you modify a front end in an existing code base (as opposed to starting from scratch)?

If so I'd suggest buying a starter template. The advantage is that you already have an opinionated design app to look at for examples on how to do things properly. I personally use CoreUI for a few side projects. There are tons of them out there.

There are also full app starters out there with backends that implement auth, payments, etc.
I still don't get the NUMA obsession here. It seems like they could have saved a lot of effort and a huge number of powerpoint slides by building a box with half of these resources and no NUMA: one CPU socket with all the memory and one PCIe root complex and all the disks and NICs attached thereto. It would be half the size, draw half the power, and be way easier to program.

> the gap between 100M and 500M isn't that impressive

This is absolutely not true. The closer you are to peak performance, the harder it is to scale, and the returns diminish heavily. At many major tech companies, there's a huge amount of effort into just 1% - 5% optimizations -- these efforts really require creative thinking and complex engineering (not just "scaling existing processes".) At the volumes these companies operate, even a 1% optimization is quite significant.

But it's not a comparison of these 2 laptops in particular. They are only comparing the CPUs in a similar deployment form factor and with a (mostly) comparable power envelope.

Nothing about the laptop quality (fan noise, build materials, speakers, display, track pad, keyboard, etc etc etc) is ever discussed. That's not the comparison here.
Inside FAANG, it is literally a job title.
JS, particularly in the era discussed here, only came with a small number of standard objects. The Host was expected to provide a series of Host Objects. In a browser these might be things like Window, Document and XMLHttpRequest.

Yeah, resolving twice is a really bad idea. A good rule of thumb for security: if you think you have a clever hack (e.g. checking DNS twice as a workaround to not being able to patch DNS resolution), it probably isn't so clever as you think.
If by "straightforward" you mean "readable" I agree. If I can read it easily, it's pretty enough.

generic stock art and iconography has right-wing critics?
My "[Citation Needed]" was for the original claim you seem to agree with, neither you nor the paper's author provide evidence for this claim or substantiate it.

Hence I'm asking for a source. The author doesn't have one, do you? Not just clickbait articles either, but proper research that establishes not only that curriculum regarding sex differences has been altered on a large scale to exclude any mention of established sex differences, but that it was not caused by evolution of our understanding of the concept and the on-going debate surrounding it, but by a defined political force that could be constituted as a "movement."

As it stands, the paper doesn't do that, so it's conclusions are just ramblings of no substance.

Of course, as I said, I'm not getting said source, because no such thing exists and with your comment dodging the question as well, I was proven right.

QED?

Furthermore, neither you nor the author even elaborate on what this movement is, or what exactly is it doing. Hence my comment regarding persecution complexes.

Imagining some vaguely defined "movement" that is allegedly doing a vaguely-defined something that is framed as disagreeable is exactly what a persecution complex is.

Oh and nice try with the accusation of "hostility". I see you've learned a great deal from this paper when it comes to deflecting criticism.
This article mistakenly calls the M2 a 4c/8t part. However, the M2 (and M1) have 8 physical cores with no SMT, which makes them 8c/8t. 4 of the 8 cores are performance (big) cores while 4 are efficiency cores. This makes the comparison less unbalanced than other commenters have said.

Also comparing both on linux when one is having active work done to port linux to it also makes the entire comparison dubious at best, just like most of phoronix's articles.
ISP routers have been more-or-less indistinguishable from switches for decades at this point. They're all "line rate" which is to say that regardless of features, packet size, etc they'll push traffic between interfaces at whatever the physical link is capable of without breaking a sweat.

In the case of Netflix it is in the ISPs best interest to let them push as much traffic to their customer eyeballs as possible. After all, it's much "easier" and cheaper to build out your internal fabric and network (which you have to do anyway for the traffic) than it is to buy and/or acquire transit to "the internet" for this level of traffic.

Boing Boing used to be one of the coolest sites on the internet! I think a lot of people still have it bookmarked/RSSed/whatever, so they still keep publishing, but it doesn't feel like a work of love anymore (IMHO). It feels more like someone said "hey, we've got this site that gets a bunch of traffic, it'd be a shame not to monetize it".
Superplurality
I was programming today and I realized that there is a very common naming issue I encounter, which is that of naming variables that are 'lists of lists of something'.

For example I might have an 'embedding' object, which I put into a an 'embeddings' list, which in turn I put into a another list, as illustrated by the pseudocode:

embeddings_ = []
for X in Y:
embeddings = []
for embedding in X:
embeddings.append(embedding)
embeddings_.append(embeddings)

I wonder, what are your thoughts on naming such 'superplural' entities? In the past I have sometimes used an underscore like in the example above, or another suffix like '_list'. The paper I link to has another suggestion: 'embeddingses'. Other times we get lucky and there is actually a proper term for the 'list of lists' objects, for example, a list of lists of pixels is an image [1].

[1] This analogy makes me realize that 'superplurality' might also be seen as n-dimensionality, in the sense that a pixel is 0-d, a list of pixels is 1-d, an image is 2-d and, going further, a list of images (like a video) can be interpreted as 3-d.
