PKD there ['drugs so powerful reality itself changes'] is getting into the concept of the immersion of the self in a perceived reality, one of the major themes he returns to over and over.

It can be a difficult concept to grasp for those who've lived their entire lives immersed in one single viewpoint (religious fundamentalists for example). In such cases, it's rather like trying to explain what 'wet' means to a fish. The fish has never experienced 'not-wet', and so has no notion that it's immersed in anything - that's just its perceived reality. Hence the 'take the fish out of the water' concept can be seen as a kind of deprogramming, in PKD's view, or escaping the brainwashing imposed by authoritarian socieites of all stripes. There are those who ardently argue against this kind of thinking, curiously enough - for example, they'll say we should tell historical lies to children in the name of enhancing their faith in their political leaders and state institutions.

In terms of actual physical reality, though, humans have tended to rely on shared experience of global external state, in the programmer's lingo. Internal object state has to be tested against other's perceptions, which is why if people hear or see something strange or out-of-the-ordinary, the first thing we do is ask someone else "Hey did you hear that? Did you see what I just saw?"

Now if others don't confirm our reality, we might worry about our mental state - i.e. auditory hallucinations are a well-known feature of schizophrenia, for example.
One of them is a movie and the other one isn't (although searching IMDB tells me that an Ubik movie is in development - yay!). You can't expert journalists to read books now can you?
I have a 3-lack-stack for my printer, but no paver. It sways a bit when I print, but I haven't run into any major issues without it. I should get one. A foam mat was mandatory though; the hollow core lack turns the motor noise into a scream!

I'd just try the easy thing first and set the printer on the paver without attaching. See if that works before you go through the effort of attaching it

Godot is a fantastic tool, feels a lot like how Blender felt in the early days. Pleasant to use at really productive. I hope adding a company on top of it doesn't throw the baby out with the bath water. Certainly the creates deserve to be able to make money off of the great engine they created. But opensource business models can be hard to get right, and I'm not sure if there's an example (yet) of one work in game engines. Still they seem to be doing all the right things and getting the right people into the company to help them. There's a number of things that could be added to Godot now that they have a company behind it, most notably support for consoles which require expensive developer licenses purchased from the console makers.

In my experience, you get one move from IKEA furniture. By the time you've relocated it twice, whether across the room or across the country, it will become unstable and likely to fail.

If you are exceptionally careful and always have help moving anything of size, you may do better.
Yup, that's one way of doing it (which we support at Svix). Though another great way is "thin webhooks", where you just use the webhook to notify your customers something happened, and then they can use your API to get the exact data that changed.
Your comment is off topic and irrelevant. US war crimes allegedly committed during the GWOT have nothing to do with the current war between Ukraine and Russia, or with ships sunk during WW1 (the original topic).
What does the rule of thumb even say? How high should they bid when they see an attractive lot?

If your rule of thumb says that you should only start bidding after a third of the auctions are finished, I hope you see that there's a pretty obvious way for others to arbitrage against you.

Auction theory studies both optimal bids and optimal auction designs - imho it's one of the more useful areas of economics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auction_theory
Intel's new chips have performance cores with 2 threads and efficiency cores with 1 thread. However, the efficiency cores are still cores. Take a look at their docs for the 1240P https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/132221/...

P cores: 4, E cores: 8, total cores: 12, total threads: 16.
I'm not the v8 engineer, but I do maintain software that embeds v8. quickjs is a breath of fresh air compared to using v8. it's missing some features that v8 has (isolates, etc), but has an extremely fast startup, an api that doesn't change constantly, and is much much much smaller/easier to build.

Large law enforcement orgs do have several skeletons in their closet, that's pretty much a given (and I'm not justifying it)

They also have the biggest targets and the ones that fight the hardest against their job.

But guess what, if those agencies are "big and bad", it's because so are their targets. And even then sometimes they lose
> rather, it’s that making people feel bad for having high BMI is doing them no favors in the journey to solve a very difficult problem. They are campaigns reminding people to be nice.

Feeling bad about your weight is a good motivator to lose weight. It might be bad for your mental health and it could do absolutely nothing for some people but the vast majority of people who keep their weight in check and/or are motivated to lose weight do so more for social reasons than they do for health reasons.

Compared to something like alcoholism, being overweight (which can be similarly deadly) is treated much differently. For alcoholism, the attitude has been changing from "alcoholics are degenerates with weak wills" to "alcoholism is a disease and these people need help" where the attitude toward obesity is going from "fat people are disgusting people who have no self control" to "big is beautiful".

The difference is with alcoholism the message goes from disdain to support but he solution remains the same, a great deal of personal work to solve the problem. With obesity, the message goes from disdain to acceptance and the solution is to just not bring it up.
Interesting, I didn't know they couldn't support consoles due to open source. It seems like this could be a pretty smart move.
Jumbo loans doesn’t mean risky.
No, that is treating the symptoms. The FBI is hardly the only law enforcement or other government organisation breaking the law or trampling people's rights. Banning one organisation isn't going to fix the underlying problem, unless you plan to ban absolutely everything, which would be terrible.

The right solution is transparency and accountability. Make sure power abuse gets punished, no matter how powerful the abuser.

They're using the FreeBSD filesystem and network stack, both of which are significant amounts of code. I guess they could have tried the rump kernel concept but it sounds like a lot of work.
> In a functional state the state police does that job.

If the specific crimes are Federal as it was in this case, then the Federal law enforcement agency must get involved.

Otherwise your argument reduces to "there should be no Federal laws against wire fraud, honest services fraud, and money laundering"

I won’t be able to find a source for this, but I remember hearing a discussion on NPR about how hard it was to design studies to test the link between alcohol and cancer. If you rely on rates between people that drink and people that don’t by choice there are way too many other variables. You’re not going to be able to get a large population to act as a control and not drink even though they want to for 20-30 years, and on the other side of the study ideally you’d want them to drink similar amounts of alcohol.

They estimated up to 40% of cancer could be caused by alcohol consumption.

Yes, the timing is... odd. That could be part of a natural cycle of attention, or external influence, or both.

Doesn't change the fact that ACAB, and the FBI are cops.
Makes sense, thank you for the explanation. And now that I know I see that there is a banner ad in that website about a coupon for a weekend deal which brings down the price to around $1 985, which seems more reasonable.

I wonder what's the appeal for bumping up the prices but routinely offering discounts. I guess they might sell some fully priced computers.
> - All basic types (excluding pointers and references) are const by
default and may be marked 'mutable' to allow them to be changed after
declaration

If you're not changing how const works, then this has limited utility in C++ because C++ const has all sorts of problems (e.g. not transitive). Also, what does the "mutable" annotation for a free function (i.e. main) mean? That just seems weird.

> - Lambda capture lists must be explicit (no [&] or [=], by themselves)

[&] is pretty valuable in cases where you do something like invokeSynchronously([&] {...})

I don't know that your changes will ever see much adoption because it won't be able to compile anything more complex than a "hello world" program as all the things you disallow are used & the porting effort is not cosmetic. Additionally, you're not actually fixing any of the problems people have with C++. So:

1. Consider fixing const semantics if you're going down the path of defining a new language

2. Think about how to fix memory safety and issues around UB which are the #1 sharp edges for C++

I don't know if you're achieving the goal of a safer, less error-prone language with the changes outlined. Have you looked at the things Carbon [1] is doing? I'd say that's an attempt to define a spiritual successor to C++, one that can easily interoperate with C++ but when you stay within the language it's safer.

Modelling in the type system has a cost too. You have to digest a lot of text (wrapping & unwrapping, etc.) just to understand that you're passing a length. Comparatively some extra characters in an identifier are basically free and can tossed in anywhere.

1. Does that matter? Most mechanical keyboards slowly nuke your fingers' cartilages and will make your fingers ache, since they don't have proper attenuation, hence they are rubbish. Yet people use them like it's some kind of miracle, when a cheapo 15 dollar keyboard provides better feel while typing and longevity for your fingers.

This touches a semi-related nerve. When you share a photo on iOS there’s an option to remove exif data—or at least the photo’s location—but there’s no way to always have it removed by default. Really annoying and easy to forget. /rant
Man, our culture has seriously brainwashed us.

Might I suggest something my therapist recommended for anxiety, but which I think might help here as well? Put a rubber band around your wrist. Whenever you catch yourself about to re-install a work app, or even thinking about checking something work related, snap that rubber band as hard as you can to remind yourself not to. Do that until it's second-nature and you'll be stopping yourself before you realize you're about to do it.
They somewhat do - this is the "skill" in being a chef, knowing what ingredients to add/reduce to get the result you want.
Apart from the mutable keyword, can't these be implemented as a clang diagnostic plugin? Then it can be used to enforce a stricter style guide. As another commenter pointed, mutable will be probably of limited use anyway.

Conventional mortgages didn't change but the assets associated with them did take huge valuation hit when the bubble popped, which still matters for those packaging up loans, if the assets they have a claim to have dropped 40%.
The person holding the debt of that mortgage does not win. The new bank coming in and buying the mortgage assets of the defaulting bank wins. The person holding the mortgage probably never even knows the difference.

> 1. Emulation :

> Emulation, as name suggests, is a technique that enables host system to run software or use peripheral devices especially designed for guest system. Its main purpose is to replace hardware or software components with function equivalents when original modules are not available. It mimics hardware and software of target device on computer.

> Example : Android SDK, etc.

> 2. Simulation :

> Simulation, as name suggests, is a technique that helps computer to run certain programs developed for different OS. It usually provides essential method of analysis that is easily communication, verified and understood. Its main purpose is to shed light on mechanism that usually control behavior of system. It is totally computer based and uses algorithms and equations.

> Example : iOS Simulator, flight simulator, etc.

>There's really nothing prohibiting them from doing that, I don't see why a law needs to be changed for this to start taking place.

That's exactly the point. There is nothing prohibiting them from doing that but they don't do it anyway because it makes life a little more difficult for them while making like substantially more difficult for the debt holder. Parent post is suggesting enforcing an inversion of that dynamic - put more power in the hands of the debt holder and less in the hands of the debt owner. A law is absolutely required to overcome the natural incentives at play, if that is the goal.
> Eg. if the lender is going bankrupt and selling the debt for 30% of it's value, they should offer that purchase price to the debtor? There's really nothing prohibiting them from doing that, I don't see why a law needs to be changed for this to start taking place

The argument you replied to isn't that the law should be changed to allow this to be offered to the debtor.

The argument is that the law should be changed such that this is required to be offered to the debtor, prior to offering an external sale.
I did have a chat at lunch one time with an optics engineer about high powered lasers and it scared the shit out of me for life. That said I’m not operating with any institutional concerns. I personally have a lot of experience with dangerous machinery like CNC machines, plasma cutters, welding, etc. And I don’t have kids or pets or roommates to worry about. So I use good judgment and wear laser safety goggles.

The laser itself has a 5mm focal distance and the housing is rectangular with something like a 40mm square footprint. This means that you can’t directly see the spot it creates, and this seems to help a lot. It’s mechanically very solid so I don’t expect it to tip over. It is also poorly columnated such that it diverges pretty quickly when not pointed at a target.

All this works fine for me at home, but I suspect a university would need more safety structure around it.
Book Review: Road to Nowhere – Silicon Valley and the Future of Mobility
True. Tho' I believe the arc of the point is...a system based on humans and human nature is subject to a wide range of questionable behaviours.

Just recently there was a judge - was it judges? - found guilty of sending kids to prison based on kickbacks received from the prison. And that, pardon the cliche, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Human behavior is both predictable and yet often bizarre.
Beyond it being easier to sell in bulk to another firm, I think a business would never do this voluntarily because it distills out people who were most likely to pay and makes the remaining debt slightly more toxic on average.

They would have to have a discount much lower than 30% to homeowner, and a way steeper discount to the firm buying the remaining bundle of people who didn’t take the offer.
> The defendant should get a retrial at least.

You do not seem to grasp the implications of exculpatory evidence being destroyed. A retrial would be a vindication of the corrupt prosecution - er, I mean, the corrupt law enforcement who was totally not an agent of the prosecution.

This has been my experience as well. I've worked with junior devs who understood their domain well and were very productive. I've worked with 20 year enterprise development veterans who are still doing the same basic Java work they have always done at large companies with questionable practices and literally haven't grown as a developer. Experience does matter, but what you've done with that experience is far more important than how long it is in absolute terms.
When it comes to flour, I don't understand why the USA insists on measuring it by volume when the rest of the world does it by mass. The density of flour can vary widely depending on if it's packed at all, and scooping it often leads to voids in the bottom of the measuring cup that you likely won't see unless you're using a clear measuring cup.

When using flour or baking mixes, I convert to grams (1 cup all-purpose flour = 125 grams) and do it by mass to ensure it's the proper amount.
Anonymous statements mean nothing. You can easily Sybil up multiple contradictory positions. And to be honest, I think you probably do.

If your chosen anonymous identity were tied to persistent effort, one could validate, but in the absence of that, you could just use arbitrarily many "throwaway" accounts that all claim ideological consistency on as many issues as desired. Any claims to ideological consistency are therefore of zero value.

It's like me claiming that I have given away $10 billion today to charity.

No, the point is that from the seller's point of view, the return on a sold loan/pool is higher than if you kept the loans, because the buyers pay a premium for the privilege of buying, and that premium goes straight into the seller's pocket. Then they will use that pocket cash to go buy some (% of) other loans from originators in different industries / different geographic locations / other different characteristics that they can't originate enough of themselves to have a sufficiently diversified portfolio to satisfy investors and board members who are risk averse. It is not about passing off the risk entirely (credit unions have to retain at least 10% ownership for themselves, for example), since you are still going to buy % participation in other loans that have risk, but about trading out a large investment at a lower return for a smaller investment at a higher return.

The suicide case is tricky if you go with an external IVR/telephony vendor who hasn't figured out SIP merging with WebRTC. I ran into that before.
> The enclave solution we use currently on our cloud servers is a technology called SGX built into Intel server processors. Intel’s SGX protects against introspection by encrypting RAM as it’s written into memory and decrypting it as it’s read out. Keys associated with this encryption never leave the underlying CPU, so they’re not accessible to the server owners or anyone else with access to server infrastructure. Someone with access to read the memory space of the program could not access the data because it’s encrypted, and they don’t have the keys to decrypt it. And in Signal’s case, we don’t have these keys either.

Reading this it seems Signal still relies on SGX not being as broken and insecure as it is. I find that quite disappointing to be honest.
They would be silly if they do. That music is not their property and they have no exclusivity. Why would they care if it gets distributed elsewhere?
Does anyone know what the reasons might be to compile the Ngspice benchmark with -O0? Oh, nothing nefarious, it seems to be the (IMHO misguided) default settings:

This option will remove the '-g' option passed to the compiler
and add -O2 optimisation (instead of default O0).
