Why go to fiction when we have real history, like Yasuke the ‘black samurai’.

The ones I’ve seen in Paris don’t use a wheel but instead use a hefty metal roller.

It’s a bit unintuitive at first because it looks so weird.
Name a „woke“ movie with likable characters. One.

Its a contradiction in terms - you cannot be a spiritual scold or schoolmarm and mold a set of likable characters from this essence.
I'm not saying it's of the same caliber as the trilogy, but it's definitely not garbage which deserves one star. It's already better than the hobbit, however low of a bar that is.
> With a large counter, addition of the highest bit has to wait for completion of the previous one, etc. so if this takes longer than one clock cycle you have to implement a different, pipelined addition algorithm. (Or run everything at lower clock frequency.)

Kogge Stone carry lookahead.

You can calculate the upper bits in parallel using Kogge-stone (which is the predecessor to what GPU programmers call "prefix-sum" parallelism)
I think that even by your definition the core audience is people who enjoyed the movies and watch prestige TV shows especially when you consider the marketing campaign. That’s the people Amazon is targeting. Fans of LotR as a universe are a very small subsection of that.
Lol, I had an N900 and it was clunky at best. It was ok as a tech preview, but it wasnt a fantastic product by any means.
Ha, that is a fun Easter egg :)
-> A close friend (from a non-CS engineering background) I know to still be at SAS. We don't talk about finances, but at around 8 years in, I estimate that he just recently (since COVID) crossed the six figure threshold. He's in a fairly senior role. Meanwhile: "What's x86?" — a direct quote from a conversation not too long ago.

-> He has no real professional experience outside of SAS, was not set up in an environment that rewards "extracurricular" experience, so he doesn't have any of that, either, and he's effectively stuck as a result of the "golden" handcuffs that the path at SAS has led him on.

-> Don't work in the semiconductor industry, folks. What you can expect to be is a monkey pressing buttons on a machine (that your supervisor—and their supervisor—doesn't understand, and nor will you; you pass butter). Make no mistake: there's an abundance of low-hanging fruit. But you won't have, as Gerry Weinberg put it, "permission" to pick it.

-> By all means, if your prospects/ambitions look to be something like working for the state/federal government, learning nothing over your career, and cashing mediocre checks for doing mediocre work along the way, then by all means go for it. Otherwise, it is likelier that you'll be hobbled by your time in the industry. And not for no good reason. If I'm evaluating someone and it came up that they'd done any significant time in the world of semiconductors, the net impression it'd have on me (having hash an insider's view of it) would be one worse than if they said that they'd just gotten their degree and had spent the last N years flipping burgers, cf Dan Luu

All I'm understanding from this is not "don't go into the semiconductor industry" but rather that you're an awful friend to be trash talking your friend. It seems like you just called their career a waste of time and implied your friend to be more poor (since when was 6 figures not a decent amount of money?) than you and less knowledgeable ('what is x86'). I'm sure you'll agree that your friend is neither poor nor stupid, as you seem to imply here for their working in the semiconductor industry. I'm sure your friend would be delighted to know that they're a monkey pressing buttons without any knowledge of what's going on or that you estimate a fast food worker has a better background for transitioning to software engineering.

You haven't talked to your friend about finances, but you can magically estimate their savings? I understand that you might be able estimate within an order of magnitude based on context, but you don't know how much this person has saved nor do you seem to consider that they might spend their money on personal emergencies, sick family members, or kids. That your estimation of your friend's savings should be taken as evidence for poor compensation in the semiconductor industry is laughable, honestly. But, hey, I at least appreciate your earnest opinion.
>The posts are [Dead], which means they're only available for the submitter or individuals with "Show Dead" available on their account.

Okay. That makes sense. Oddly, it's not marked dead for me, which also sort of makes sense, even though I have "show dead" configured.

>The posts are [Dead], not a regex issue, nor is it an issue with administration.

Understood.

My mistake and screw up. I will delete them presently.
It's good but as far as the interface goes there are some oddities due to linguistic weirdness (in my opinion, English not being my first language). For example there are a bunch of vehicle types for which I have to open the profile customization to figure out what it means. 'fastbike' also doen't seem a very common name (to test: enter that in a search engine and compare results with 'speedpedelec'). Another example: in the profile thare's 'cost' for downhill and uphill, but for fastbike the one for downhill defaults to 60 and the one for downhill 0. So is 'cost' wrong (sounds like penalty) or should the numbers be the other way around?

I used to browse the Web with Opera Mini, which was a J2ME midlet, on feature phones such as Motorola C651 and Nokia 6230i :) It worked by rendering the full blown site server-side and sending it back in a simplified format for the phone to display, which worked much better than bundled browsers which weren't very useful for much more than WML or XHTML-MP. I have also chatted with people via XMPP extensively thanks to Bombus (remember when Google Talk was a fine, open and federated XMPP implementation and pretty much everyone was reachable there? Those were the times...).

Smartphones such as Symbian ones already had more usable native browsers though.
I generally rely on my friends' recommendations because they know me (and watch a lot more TV than I do somehow)
If I exclude the credits both episodes are almost exactly 60 minutes long. And the credits are ~5 minutes or so, so the displayed runtime is 1 hour and a few minutes. I have no idea where you get the 90 minutes from, that is simply not true.

I have watched both Rings of Power and The House of the Dragon, and both are essentially setting up the story in the first two episodes. There is plot in those episodes of course, but a lot is setting up characters and places and the world in general.
People were up in arms before a single episode aired, because they saw a fictional species (dwarf) had dark skin. many of those people have now pivoted their arguments against the show to being about pacing, writing (note: I’m in no way implying this is you, I haven’t seen any LotR series opinions on HN) - but the racist stuff has already occurred
Yep. Then you look at wealth distribution and it all makes sense.

Mississippi’s Gini coefficient is around .49, where the UK is around .34.
You've missed two key points:

* GPS depends upon acurate timing and positions.

* GPS broadcasts a data packet.

The length of the packet is limited by the broadcast frequency and the time to update .. so the packet was kept tight.

The satellites drift (orbital decay, magnetic torque, solar wind, random particle pressure) and live in a different gravity (aka relativistic time) .. their 'self' data (position | time) is regularly updated from ground stations and their internal epochs only need to operate for some low N number of expected update cycles .. if they lack an accurate sense of 'self' they lack function as waypoints.

Adding clock data widths that count nanoseconds for the lifetime of the sun would be pointless: it makes the data packet longer and it doesn't change the hard requirement for regular time|position updates from the ground.

They were designed with short epoch counters with an understanding of functional constraints.
The difference is that education and policing are not on-demand services, at least not in the way transit is.

I can ride the bus as many times as I like, and that creates costs for the system. There's no direct relationship between user whim and system costs for the other two services.
PHP is now a days ran as fcgi, just like how Python, Ruby or Go runs. The Apache mod days have been left in the past.

That you can't render a python script.py like php's script.php more likely has to do with language construction difference between the two.
The whole thing reeks of Bezos wanting to be cool. You can almost hear his desperate cries for approval through the poorly written, and poorly delivered, script.

Honestly, just watch the first scene. It's hilariously soulless.

Yes. MS has the 4th worst balance of income/wealth in the US (which is already pretty unbalanced overall).

MS has wealth distribution similar to that of Zimbabwe and Rep of Congo, measured by Gini coefficient.
High hardware quality is always important but it is not enough to build a moat to stop the competition. I remember a Siemens quality manager told me the high hardware quality of Siemens's phone when HTC was building a phone for Siemens. High hardware quality did not save Siemens's phone business either.
$1.4B is a rounding error to big tech companies or a big bank like Chase or BoA.

If 2 episodes is a bit too little to judge that a series is bad, then it is also a bit too little to judge that a series is good.

If it's too early to review, then scrap all reviews including the good ones, and if reviews are expected, then selective deletion is just creating false advertising.
Amazon Entering the Warehousing Business
Galadriel tried to stop the Kinslaying - it's the reason she had to cross the Arctic rather than ride on ships[1] - and she didn't "run away" from the War of Wrath. As for her general character, though she was proud and wanted to be "free" in her own lands, she was described as wise, understanding, and merciful from her earliest years. [2]

I am never going to watch the series because the movies were bad enough, and I find it cringe-inducing how people talk about "the lore" and act as though adaptation can occur 1:1 from books to video, but I have found people seem to be spreading and repeating a lot of misinformation apparently in an attempt to make the show look better, which will inevitably be repugnant to Tolkien regardless.

Which is the reason I'm not watching it. I don't believe in watching a series that would deeply hurt and grieve the author had he lived to see its production.

[1] > Even after the merciless assault upon the Teleri and the rape of their ships, though she fought fiercely against Fĕanor in defence of her mother's kin, she did not turn back.

[2] > Galadriel was the greatest of the Noldor, except Fĕ'anor maybe, though she was wiser than he, and her wisdom increased with the long years. [...] From her earliest years she had a marvellous gift of insight into the minds of others, but judged them with mercy and understanding, and she withheld her goodwill from none save only Fĕanor.
I don't know what "woke" means here but if you mean like, "caring about social justice issues", then the corporate masters are definitely not that. lol
> I wonder if this could help pedophile people since generated porn wouldn't imply abuse of children.

In some jurisdiction even "virtual" child porn is still treated as criminal:

> A sufficient reason, on basis on which Canadian Parliament was warranted to prohibit not only production and distribution (which were not direct question in that case) but also purely private possession of child pornography - even, if it has nothing to do with use of actual children in its production - was, in the Canadian Supreme Court opinion "reasoned apprehension of harm" which may flow from exposing some people to such a materials.

The last company I worked for used the “burning platform” story a few years later after Elop’s memo. It was true, but it didn’t work.

The rank and file have no idea what to do with this information. The new platform looks great, but it isn’t proven, doesn’t replace the margin targets for sales, and the marketing is split telling the new story while trying not to accelerate the fire. Customers don’t know us for the new platform, so large effort is invested trying to get the smallest of wins at new clients. Invariably, the staff don’t really understand the new platform, quality is lower than the burning platform. Client decides this isn’t something you are good at, sales gets burned and says no thanks. Executives say, oh shit, our finances are a catastrophe, focus on the burning platform. We need quick wins!

Layoffs throw a bunch of people off the platform, repeat until the business is 10% of size, and languish for years with mediocre executives (well paid for skills /competency as no one that has a clue will work for them). People that should resign do the work for 8 people until they burnout. The situation messes with people’s minds and they stick around even though they know they must leave.

The analogy makes sense, but thought out, it is apparent why it can’t work. The whole business leaps from a platform, not to another platform, but to a life raft. It has no stability, can’t support the same people, processes, or way of thinking. Eventually it capsizes and sinks, or is collected by someone with a platform who will extract the last of the value as it goes away silently in the night.
It seems there's a lot of pressure to succeed in many Eastern societies as well. Does the book cover the differences?
Some percentage of those who left those 1-star rating may be pissed off enough to cancel their Prime subscription in protest.

(It may also be true that some percentage of those who cancel Prime for this reason may rejoin Prime a couple of months from now when the Prime retention machine sends them a 'We miss you!' email trigger offering free trials of Prime for x months to get them back back).
Ah yes I remember it being made a big thing of, like it was revolutionary or something, when I joined - however in the UK we'd understood functional vs product and indeed matrix management since forever. Welcome to the 1970s theme park that is the US I guess!
You seem to have missed the point completely so let me point it out for you (no pun intended).

> demand on foreigners to inform the Israeli authorities within 30 days of starting a relationship with a Palestinian ID holder.

Most countries grill people who come on a touristic visa to stay with their SOs simply because there is usually a sperate visa scheme for that purpose.

The issue here is that the policy only targets part of the population, hence the outcry.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all. I guess most of the UFO sightings are either fake or mistaken. But should we flag this without analysing it at all? I saw the video and I was hoping to find some explanation of it in the comments section. The drone swarm theory is quite plausible. I was hoping to read what others thought about the fast disappearance of those. Was it a camera trick?
My beef is that there isn't much in terms of character development. The first episode was an atrocious formulaic mess that tried to stack as many memorable LotR style moments on top of each other as possible. So far they haven't taken the opportunity to use the format to their advantage at all. Visually appealing, but bland is how I'd summarize things so far.
I am not sure Android could have saved Nokia. Samsung survived in smart phone business because of their display and memory. Chinese smart phone makers was able to compete because of the enormous support from CCP. I was on another oil platform call "HTC" when Nokia platform was "burning". Eventually HTC went down too.
I was a first-line manager (a "sergeant," if you want to use a military analogy) for 25 years.

I deliberately stayed at that level, even though I could have easily bubbled up higher.

I felt that I could make a big difference to my team, and, by running a good team, make a big difference to my company.

There were a lot of problems in the corporation; bad decisions, HR issues, administratium poisoning[0], etc., but the consensus seems to have been that my little team was really quite effective, and I kept engineers for decades.

Managers can make a big difference for the positive.

I tried the "run a C program as cgi" on the web. Request per second per server dropped significantly.

Later converted those into fcgi and throughput increased drastically, like an increase of 10 times over previous.

But fcgi is a little bit tricky as your memory and resource leaks will accumulate, and if your program crashes, it will fault on subsequent requests too, and not just that one request as happens in cgi.
Woke seems to purposefully imply a bungled attempt at progressive characters so it's kind of tautological. But if we just mean progressive, then Zootopia.
Would only suggest using the Pi's HDMI output to an "HDMI audio extractor", feeding out toslink/spdif to something else, and avoid having the Pi DAC involved with it's 3.5mm output. Keep the signal digital across the cheap components until it gets to a high quality DAC that feeds the speakers.
How dare you question a woman's lived experience.

Not to mention the hate Harper Lee got for Go Set a Watchman showing what happened to the characters 20 years later.
Yes, this is like people being up in arms that DC decided to cast a Black woman to play an orange alien from Tamarin.
> The regulations laid out in a lengthy document include a demand on foreigners to inform the Israeli authorities within 30 days of starting a relationship with a Palestinian ID holder.

I hope the lengthy document also lays out the specifics of what constitutes the "start of a relationship" so that all such relationships can be duly planned to comply with the framework. Hopefully it also covers the handling for "in-flight" relationships.
If by most of the developed world you mean western colonists, then no shit
How faithful was that storyline to the Tolkein lore? Did he really write a book where a commander driven literally insane by zeal is vindicated, saves the lives of the men in her company like a mary sue, only to be mutinied and sprung by her king for being right? It makes everyone look repulsive. The only win scenario in that situation is if they'd all just sat on their hands and done nothing.
Whether the potential of psychedelic therapy has been overstated or not, I think the bubble cannot be "about to burst" for the simple reason it hasn't had the timeframe nor the scale to even be called "a bubble", let alone for it to finish on such an intense note as "bursting".

«Is the psychedelic therapy spark about to fizzle out?» might have been a more apt analogy.

(I have no reason to opine either way regarding the answer)
Yeah... I'm saying the documentation that you have a medical marijuana make it more likely they would target you, because it's not that difficult to cross-reference various government lists (marijuana database and NICS).
>* Choosing not to federate, just like choosing to federate, is a feature, not a bug;

i never disagreed with that part just the part where you thought that means that instances that don't federate actually do federate.

> * You no longer lose your followers during account migration on Mastodon;

always nice to meet with a fan

>* If my instance does not federate with e.g. Gab, it does not mean that my instance is an insular community disconnected from others;

Of course not, that comes from all the other instances its also not federating with.

>* I'm not complaining about Fediverse instances being insular communities and in fact I don't experience them being that way;

then this is all just a big misunderstanding and your original post was completely irrelevant to the thread

> You're getting multiple posts in a row flagged off HN and there's likely a common reason for that.

Gee whiz not the internet forum moderators! what ever shall i do? please don't take away my upvotes!

In just two episodes? Yeah there won’t be.
Scorched Earth was my favorite among that list. I spent many hours playing it on my Packard Bell 486x.
The N900 did NOT run Meego. I agree with OP 100% that the N9 was an amazing phone. Honestly it was brilliant. Super smooth and well thought out. Polished too. With an android emulation layer on top it could have been a success. Alas Nokia got Elop’d.

Never heard of it, but Hollywood writers already bend over backwards to shoehorn their woke religion into nearly every TV and movie show so if that’s related I’ll avoid.
It truly is bizarre to watch. It reminds me of the ethically questionable business strategy of buying a premium brand, slashing prediction quality and costs, and then raking in profits before people catch on. That strategy is viable because of cost-cutting though, while many of these franchises are setting records for production costs despite their mediocre quality.
It's fun and frustrating, especially when it's someone like Nicolae Ceaușescu, who I knew of, but there's no way I could spell his name, ever.

I don't think thats the case, its this forcing of current US politics into writing that doesn't have the skill to include it in a seamless way to be compatible with world building and storytelling. Also the CGI that's really the highest point for a lot of people seems really bad to me, everything looks so plastic ...
I would generally translate reviews based only on the first few episodes of a new series as "shows promise" or not. You really can't say more than that at this point.
