> Faster for which usage? Locally yes, but not remotely where it's worse..

How do you know it's actually worse for remote? I can render my entire UI on the GPU & route that straight into a video encoder incredibly quickly. Faster than XLib can draw in the first place.

Now there's the bandwidth question there yeah. The video stream takes X Mbps, and the Xlib stream takes Y Mbps. Unless you've measured it recently, you don't actually know if X or Y is smaller. You can make a guess that xlibs is smaller, sure. After all it's vector, right? Except it isn't, not really. Text is all pixmaps. Images are all pixmaps. Path clipping is all pixmaps. Are you compressing all those pixmaps before sending? If so, to what? And is that faster than your GPUs h264 encoder? Almost certainly not. Is it smaller? Also probably not really.

And I don't know about you, but I got way more bandwidth than I have latency for my Internet connection. So whether or not X or Y is smaller doesn't actually matter to me. What matters is which gives me less end to end latency, which all but certainly is the video encoder & decoder path, which are incredibly well optimized and hardware accelerated.

People should really try to understand what’s happening in blockchain. Eventually the computational capacity will reach the levels that virtually any app can be replicated inside of it, with a much lower fee for the developers/owners/users and often having full open source code for the components. The blockchain development environment is fundamentally less terrible than the centralised database world, and eventually the computational differences between the two will be so low that centralised databases will be less desirable just because do the warp in the social contract.

Databases encourage centralisation of power to developer/owners, with aggressive bent towards monopoly. Blockchain encouraged opennesss and portability. It’s simply a better social contract.

>But then the computing world isn't the same, and my needs aren't the same.

Strongly disagree, the needs are the same, the interfaces and information flow are different.

This is not a reason to abandon basic UX and UI principles.
On the desktop, the paradigm is still a mouse (pointer device) and keyboard. Accessibility and Usability requirements are the same.

Risk management really is the unsung hero of the modern world. A good book on the topic is "Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk".

The answer to the question "why did a thriving capitalist economy emerge in Europe in the 17th century?" is simply "risk management". It was the intellectual leap that made it all possible.
I think the point of the different storage tiers of AWS S3 is to get customers to classify their own data, then AWS can pick the right mix of hardware, software, and compute that satisfies AWS’s requirements for availability and COGS.

If the difference between standard S3 and S3 Glacier was just slower disk, then rate limiting the customer would suffice.

But if there’s a significant amount of compute thrown at data de-duplication, compression, and indexing, then it starts to clarify why there’s a pricing penalty for using Glacier with the same access patterns as one would use on standard storage.

This is my perspective as well. Apple products are basically out of the box usable for me (short of a couple of helper apps on MacOS) and frankly just do not crash or cause me any downtime.

But…I am admittedly well past my “OS tinkering” days. I finally realized how much unproductive time I spent trying to make whatever OS I was using “productive” and visually “correct” and realized it wasn’t net positive. So I just decided the default options was good enough, short of my couple of must have helper apps (Rectangle and Hiddenbar)
The fundamental acid test of any political economic system is how it can organize for and conduct. Combat for a very long time now has required close organization and synchronization of elements and units and this continues to require structures of authority in hierarchies that are even strikingly alien and ill at ease with today's democracies. The author cites examples of guerrilla war and tribal conflict but societies that relied on these as means to maintain their sovereignty have perished or have been diminished so that they are utterly at the mercy of nations that do not.

Moreover, decentralized political economies cannot either deliver the goods when it comes to economies of scale that modern capital makes possible. Democracies strain to deliver large capital intensive projects like the Hoover Dam or the construction of aircraft carriers but these are simply currently beyond the pale of even more decentralized political economies.

Of course, technology can change how warfare is conducted and reduce the relative advantages of economies of scale. If one prefers anarchist political economy, one should be interested in anything that levels the playing field between decentralized and centralized coordination strategies. When push comes to shove though, will you be so enthralled by anarchist ideals that you would scorn or deny technology that tends to centralization if it makes humanity wealthier or wiser than alternatives?

> You'd need a much larger study with totally different design to even begin to approach the question

Yes, that is my point. As the OP remarked; "The others may be “complicated” but the effect also looks close to noise. " is disregarding that data.

When one thinks of the word "noise" one hears something that bothers them, like "there is too much noise in here". This is the problem with research. By getting rid of the "noise" they will only zero in to the thing they wish to hear clearly.
Oh come on. I never argued that Vancouver had more homeless per capita. Not to mention the challenge with accurately counting the homeless and where the homeless reside (these stats counted Vancouver proper, which ignores the homeless in the surrounding cities).

I argued that the state of the homeless is no different (because OP argued "you just need universal healthcare and the problem will be solved). People putting up tents in the street, people overdosing on the sidewalk (did you know 10,000 people have died from overdoses in Vancouver to date? [1]), people suffering from untreated mental illness, people suffering from serious medical issues.

The point is not that Vancouver and SF have the same number of homeless, it's that the areas where the homeless are don't look all that different in terms of human misery.

Even in extreme B, they may still sometimes need to import power. Or, they cannot be sure they won't ever need to. If they ever do, they will anyway know well ahead of time.

Clearly B is better, but they get to A on the way there. On the way to B, they may find they import power infrequently enough that they prefer to stop building out. That is a legitimate choice for most.

Well, on the one hand, you're right. But on the other hand, X is still being used to do all that stuff (not necessarily using the body of its drawing command set). So even if X's drawing commands themselves are less relevant than they once were, X itself is still entirely capable of presenting GUIs with blurs, anti-aliased text etc. etc.
Maybe the runtime safety in debug builds? Like for out of bounds, int overflows, etc. In my zig projects those checks have saved me from using a debugger or valgrind in many cases.
That solves a different problem.

A remote desktop does the CPU-intensive computation on the remote side, not the local side. A tunnel like Wireguard or SSH does the computation on the local side, foz GUI programs that don't run in a terminal.

Now, quite a lot can be done from a terminal, but some compute-intensive things are better suited to GUI programs. CAD/CAM, for example.
I/O. An anecdote. A friend of mine was modding a 360/PS3 game recently. He was trying to animate a texture by cycling through an image sequence. The first attempt read every image from disk each time, and ate shit. The second attempt pre-loaded them all, and it works perfectly fine
Not to mention, a new groundwork for light clients was laid out in the first upgrade to the beacon chain. Come merge, clients could effectively poll for e.g. balances directly from the network, instead of going through Infura.

More on Ethereum light clients from Chainsafe, the builders of Lodestar, a Typescript implementation of an Ethereum consensus client: https://blog.chainsafe.io/the-road-ahead-for-ethereum-light-...

TL;DR: "Light clients enable more people to participate as first-class citizens, verifying on-chain data without relying on single and centralized JSON RPC endpoints."

SSDs could still do it for speed and to write less pages, making the drive last longer, and simply report the uncompressed space as used. They already do all sorts of tricks on pages such as moving them logically, having more internally than they report to use as pages wear out, and so on.

Given that, it's good sense to compress if at all possible simply to make the drive live longer.

And guess what - I just googled, tons of hits, and this has been done for a long time :)

So it makes sense, is done, and is important for modern SSD behavior.
Prop 13 applies to both residential and commercial property. Also new home construction would be assessed at the currrent market value. So no difference from a tax perspective for the town/city.
>An enormous amount of women have faced unfair (or worse) situations with negative (or worse) personal outcomes for just the fact of being women.

You can replace 'women' in this statment by any number of other group tags and still preserve the truth of the statment :

--------

An enormous amount of men have faced unfair (or worse) situations with negative (or worse) personal outcomes for just the fact of being men, like

- forced military service,

- genital mutilation (amusing fact : searching this term in google only turns up results about female genital mutilation in all pages),

- and child labor.

I leave it as an exercise to you how you can correctly apply the template to a random group label of your choosing.

--------

So 'Women Most Affected' sentiments like yours serve only to illustrate the curious asymmetry with which injustice against men and injustice against women are treated. An asymmetry that, while not created by feminism and allied ideologies, is certainly much exploited and streamlined and stroked by them.

>The promoters of the disputed language

Oh, but it isn't a problem of language. The inherent delusion of feminism is that women are especially oppressed, in ways that fundamentally differ quantitatively and qualitatively from men. Expressing this delusion in any language will output biased and dumb nonsense, lobbyism dressed up as 'fighting for justice'.

In other words, you can't say 'Women Most Affected' in more intelligent or naunced language. Every way of expressing a delusion will turn out to be ridicoulous and unfair and easily-detected.

It's not great, but it's also not unheard of. Tape capacities are often quoted at double the actual storage space, with fine print that says "assuming 50% compression". Also, if compression makes IOPs faster or reduces wear on SSDs, people might not complain so much.

Maybe we should have. I'm sure a MySpace archive would have significant anthropological value a century from now. I don't really find this argument convincing to be honest.

I mean, you're basically arguing that we should tear down Ancient Greek and Roman buildings, tear down the Eiffel tower, and so on, "because we've moved on".

> If you average any trial out in a large population there will be "noise", but these people who live with the "noise" are the ones affected and suffering.

If you do a trial in a large population of a drug, device, or clinical practice that does nothing- a perfect placebo- you'll see a variety of effects: statistical noise.

If you do a trial in a large population of a drug, device, or clinical practice that has an effect-- you'll measure that effect, plus the statistical noise.

You can't generally tell for any individual whether the drug helped or hurt. But you can tell that more people did well (or badly) in group A than group B.

You can't even really know exactly how big the effect is precisely: just a range of likely effect sizes.

The more things you try to measure to more precisely zero in on an effect, the greater the chance that statistical noise spuriously makes one of these look important (and the larger the effect must be to be reliably measured). https://xkcd.com/882/

* social faux pas for the neuro-diverse among us

So my biggest takeaway is: can we get really comfortable with that feeling instead of feeling hurt by it, and use it in a positive way? As @hollywood_court mentioned it must be possible to use that for conscious behaviour changes - choosing to change rather than masking to fit in.

>The only thing that's stopping me from grabbing a GPD Micro is the fact that multiple people here have expressed doubts about the hinge's longevity

I would advise not to let that stop you. For one, my hinge has yet to break after well over a year of constant daily use, and until this thread it not occur to me to worry about it; for another, I have every confidence that if it did break, I could fix it. The device is extremely hackable, being screwed together like a laptop instead of sealed like a phone. Indeed, a commenter in this very thread did a DIY fix on their hinge, and according to them it's better than the original.

Definitiv not community building. All the groups I'm in are dead when it comes to interaction.
I am highly skeptical there'a any clear causal relationship between complexity and collapse, but let's say there's some. I would rank nuclear war and a few others (climate change, or more broadly environmental imbalance caused by humanity) much more plausible and realistic cause for the collapse, way higher than what meager change this has, and thus this is mostly a distraction and intellectual pastime than something that is worth our collective attention.
amazing freudian slip! should have been founded :) first was age 13; I am 46 right now. They just seem to have added up over the years; I now have a venture studio which means the pace is accelerating.

Somewhere in there I read papers on venture portfolio construction which calculated that a vc needs roughly 50+ companies in the portfolio before they have enough hedging against random bad luck. Every entrepreneur should think hard about those stats - my response to it has some obvious down-sides but made sense to me.

Being an inconsequential gimmick isn't about implementation, it's about semantics, relevance and utility. Only the last of these is really impacted at all by engineering, and even then, the engineering component doesn't matter if the thing just isn't useful.

Ha- I came here to say this - I've solved them this way for decades whenever I need one, since the derivation when I'm doodling is often quicker than finding it (or if I'm out somewhere and internet access is difficult).

Note you can use this trick for all sorts of sums, not just powers. After some experience you realize lots of sums are polynomials in the size, so just guess a polynomial without the coefficients, and plug in a few items to get the coefficients. Once you have a polynomial, you can prove the result by induction.

So, for example, summing terms of form k(k+4) from k=1 to n may be hard to look up, but you can guess the result is a polynomial of degree one more than the terms (so here, a cubic), do the generic trick, obtain the sum n(n+1)(2n+13)/6, then prove it via induction.

You can do generic items too, like sum (k+a)(k+b) to get abn + n(n+1)(3(a+b)+2n+1)/6.

It's a good technique.

Or just use Mathematica :)
Those are strings, yes. And while it is perfectly understandable that shelters may need such rules, they do ultimately cut some people off from help.

Other typical strings include strict bedtimes, including getting awoken early and told to leave. Mandatory religious activities. And a lot of homeless people will report being talked down to at shelters, and generally not being treated well.

The good shelters are always filled, if it is cold enough, the bad ones are as well.

Homelessness is mainly a result of poverty, if you want fewer homeless people you should do something for the poor people, so that they may stay or return to being homed. What government programs exist for this purpose are generally woefully inadequate.

Another example of strings attached is SNAP/food stamps. You set up a bureaucratic system in order to give money to poor people that can only be used for food. Those poor people then wonder how they are going to pay rent.
