Except the peer pressure he was under, in this specific case, was the kind he should have been vulnerable to. We're not talking about peer pressure from proprietary software advocates or anything, but "Actually Richard, pedophilia is bad and maybe you should stop creeping on the interns."

A good leader has empathy and the capacity to understand when their actions are causing harm to people, and should be willing to take advice when warned about such behavior, and adapt for the better, if not for themselves and their own reputation then at least for the good of the organization. Stallman's "sheer honesty" has done real damage to the FSF, and the culture around F/OSS as a whole. Granted, because the politics around this are sex and gender adjacent, many people couldn't care less on general anti-woke principle, but Richard Stallman as a leader should care.

Simply crossing his arms, digging his heels in and saying "fuck you I'll do what I want" for years on end hasn't given him an advantage over any "ordinary" person. Being an obstinate prick isn't a superpower.
It also doesn't work very well as "making a point" sarcastically, because that largely depends on pretending github only does git, and there's very little reason to do that.

Curious how font ownership works, especially with pixel fonts. If I make my own font from scratch, and it matches per-pixel an already-created font, is it mine or theirs?
Trees such as those have astoundingly complex internal structures, equal in value to the tree's survival as our internal structures are to us. That's a gorgeous bit of art, but I hope it doesn't stimulate unthinking people to grab their chain saws and start, um, hacking...

Ligatures are amazing, I don't understand why anyone would like ascii "compound versions" of a set of symbols when there are thousands if not many hundreds of thousands of great symbols that were used in older typographic settings that are available for usage.
Almost certainly self driving vehicles of all kinds. Even in the absence of any major ML algorithm breakthrough, I believe there is enough work already accomplished where the industry can grind out a well functioning solution in 20 years. This kind of time frame is long enough where I think that level 5 fully self driven cars will be available from major brands at prices that will make it affordable even for middle class buyers.

I don't find it puzzling. You're putting the onus of being harassed on OP despite them following what they felt was reasonable opsec, rather than on the people harassing.

I think there is some interesting work being done with eBPF in the profiling space
I mean... My computer has a device called RAM that communicates with the north bridge by a protocol where sequential readings have lower latency than random ones. It also has a device called disk (or sometimes drive), that has nothing shaped like a disk (and is never loaded), and communicates with the north bridge by a protocol where sequential readings have lower latency than random ones.

At the CPU side, there is an in-package device that communicates with the memory controller by a protocol where sequential readings have lower latency than random ones. It communicates with an in-die device, that finally communicates with the CPU with a protocol that provides random access. That last one is obviously not called "RAM".
I've worked in the medical device industry for 20 years and have a similar takeaway. I often describe it as the "hospital insurance company industrial complex".
I love ligatures, for what it's worth. I find them nicer to look at than the separate char versions, and I've not found them to be distracting or confusing.
Analog computing for hyper-efficient on-device ML.
Yeah, I think that's mostly true.

However, I'm sure I have heard a few people use RAM when they meant hard drive space. Though, in fairness, those were probably friends/relatives who used computers but didn't know a lot about how they actually work.
I personally prefer them and find them easier to read, but have been using them for the past 2-3 years.
You would think but no gold. Actually, McDonalds is not out of the norm. The cost of living in California is high relative to other places in the U.S.

"Family of four", you say. That's a big difference.
I find proof of stake to be ironic. Isn't the entire point of cryptocurrency to remove the centralization of power? Proof of stake is just an admission that those who have more, get more. Power waste aside, I find the purity of PoW and Bitcoin to be superior in fulfilling the nebulous goals of crypto.
What is something they've reliably addressed now? For all the praise heaped on them, they didn't really get us out of covid for more than a few months, and I haven't seen any other breakthroughs. It seems more like something that sounded promising and failed. Is there something that we're on the cusp of that will change that?
Yes, Process Street is what you want (and what I thought of building a while ago).
VDO Ninja is great. I've used it to stream on Twitch with a friend, so that each of us could have a live video capture in the Twitch stream. (The main streamer uses OBS, added a browser source pointing to a VDO Ninja room, and then the other person joins the VDO Ninja room and streams their own video feed into it.)

No, we're all doing that now. This loss of PCIE expansion is really annoying and I'll probably be skipping this next gen largely for that reason.

It is very disappointing there are no embeddable, performant wasm runtimes. The language is perfect for embedded systems, it's a near asm level sandbox. But there's no good no_std or limited dependency runtimes! If wasm is to grow, it should work on this use case.

I should be able to provide platform APIs to allocate memory, maybe do some floating point math, and then that's about it. Additional features would just be giving some additional API implementations the runtime needs to interact with the host machine.

That 90% number is plain not true. Please cite any source for that.

PoW is much the same, those with more capex and opex for compute and power earn more.

PoS cuts the opex, and makes the capex fungible.
It's not clear to me how this is supposed to help with gas. As I understand it, the reason gas costs so much is there are only so many transactions that can fit in a block, and the price is what you have to pay (competing against other customers) get your transaction through.

It does seem that if the miners just have to prove they have stake and not do any work, it means the rich will get richer.

My neighbor two houses down fired his lawn guy because the the lawn guy had both a Trump sticker and a Confederate flag license plate on his truck.

My neighbor passed away last year but he was a 93 year old WWII vet who later became a chaplain and then even later became an atheist.

He would occasionally invite me over to his garage to share a Yuengling whenever he saw me out working in my own yard.

I asked him why his lawn was looking shaggy, and he proudly told me why. I miss that man.

He didn’t want his neighbors thinking he associated with individuals who supported Trump and/or the Confederacy.

I believe CF and other service providers have that same right.
My state has a "stupid motorist" law that requires people who negligently put their vehicles in danger and then use state resources to get bailed out, to pay for the rescue themselves. Perhaps we could create a "stupid eater law" for medicare/medicaid, forcing obese people etc to pay for their own private health insurance or healthcare which would free up money for others to buy more healthcare privately (via lower tax burden). My families healthcare would definitely be more affordable if I weren't burdened paying for the negligent actions of others.

An enclosed bubble of Earth atmosphere would literally float in Venus's atmosphere with about 6x as much lifting force as hydrogen has in Earth atmosphere or 10x as much as helium. As long as you can breathe, you don't fall (though "sink" is probably a better word for it than "fall").
Metaphors are of course imperfect by their very nature, but more importantly, the phrase “a roller coaster of emotions” isn’t even really a metaphor. It’s a figure of speech that means one is going through a wide range of feelings and/or emotions in a (relatively) short amount of time, possibly in rapid succession or even simultaneously. I think it was used appropriately.
I mean if I had glorious elven hair, I would probably not cut it. Also short is one thing, but in RoP the elf Arondir has a military buzz cut, which raises more questions.

The word you are looking for is "were"[1], specifically the first and third instances of "where".

I usually don't bother to be a grammar nazi, but I'm sorry: When you use the word "where"[2] and then also misspell "were" as "where" immediately before and after, things get really confusing really quickly.

Making it illegal won't eliminate it. Didn't go well when we tried to eliminate alcohol. War on drugs didn't eliminate drugs. Drugs are now worse than ever. You'll just end up making smokers into criminals, people will grow their own, or find someone to buy it from. Then you'll get cigarettes made illegally, which will probably end up having more dangerous shit in them than they already do now.
Why do people like reactivity à la Solid, Vue, MobX etc? The reason I moved away from these towards React was because reactivity introduced subtle bugs with two way data binding, where it was hard to tell where data was being mutated (v-bind, computed() etc).

In contrast, with React I don't really have to worry about that because it explicitly mandates one way data binding with only a few places that data can be changed, such as in click handlers. I can basically treat the state as a render loop that runs from top to bottom every time. If I want to preserve state, I use useState, and if I want to cause an effect, I use useEffect.
1) Possibly a little bit since block time is supposed to decrease from ~13 seconds to 12 seconds. But it's not the primary goal. Side note, the network is generally more expensive during high-traffic times (due to the limited number of transactions which can be sent), but during low-traffic times (over the weekend for example) simple transactions could be made for ~$0.14

2) It means that if you want to participate in consensus directly, you need exactly 32 ETH to stake. People with smaller amounts of ETH can stake through staking pools though. Block-producing nodes do get to choose which of the transactions in the mempool get included, so in a sense, they have power (in the same way miners with higher hash-rate do currently). Not all the "richer people" will be running nodes though, as it does lock the ETH for a currently-indetermined amount of time. Unstaking isn't an option (yet), and if your node goes off-line, you'll be penalized by losing some of your stake
What is really hilarious is that when you point out this to the ETH supporters, they will say that Bitcoin is even more centralized comparatively because the barrier to entry is higher blah blah.

So much for the decentralization idealogy.

A pivot away from tech but I found the Pixar story to be super interesting. One of Steve Job’s more interesting strategic accomplishments imo. My favorite part of the Walter Isaacson book.
My theory is that its because the people in charge of making that decision (management and higher ups) are the people who most benefit from in person work

So naturally that would be the decision

I've never been a manager but I'd guess that managing a team remotely sucks more than being a remote IC since the whole job is communication
It's also worth noting that 64-bit x86 processors only appeared a few years after the song, with all 32-bit systems until then being limited to a theoretical maximum of 64GB (with PAE).

The general public isn’t asking for a hundred gigs, but I’d love to see the baseline rise up a bit.

I'm still comfortable with 4GB (and currently using ~1GB of it), because I stay away from the bloated web stuff. Outside of certain applications, I think there really isn't a need for huge amounts of RAM; unlike e.g. storage, which even I have several TBs of, simply because of accumulating media.
The limit is the Carnot efficiency 1 - (Tc/Th). As the temperature difference gets smaller, the maximum efficiency approaches 0.

Although, the closer that you can get to that ideal, the better!
Good think I use natural gasoline that doesn't contain any of those dangerous cancer chemicals that the man started adding in 50s.
Probably library support for React. React is treated as the default for most libraries while Solid, Svelte and Vue have a fraction of them. One reason I moved to React from these.
Calling a hard drive “memory” can also be left over from very old computers which blurred the distinction between transient and permanent/stable memory.
Again? Looks like it is always down at least twice a month. [0] Doesn't affect you, if you are self-hosting like GNOME, KDE, Linux, wireguard, Redox OS, Wine etc who are not going all in on GitHub services.

Modules, Generics, and now Govulncheck are all enterprise-welcome features, hope this can help Golang to gain more 'market share', at present it remains at around 1%(Python 15%, C|C++|Java each about 10%) in programming language TIOBE ranking, it remains to be an uphill battle to move up.

I spent quite sometime learning golang while using c++ at job, now I pressed the pause button on golang and decided to focus more on modern c++ instead, yeah its tooling is lacking comparing to golang, but it's just so widely used and too good on performance, will revisit Golang later.
It's a confusopoly!

They're most obvious with "basic" products like energy and comms - in theory what is delivered is mostly undifferentiated kWh or GB but through the magic of "confusing plans", marketers have succeeded in making comparisons very difficult for regular people.

(You can do it, but you need OCD, a year of billing data and a spreadsheet - which greatly exceeds the cognitive effort most people will invest in choosing a mobile or energy provider).

The US healthcare sector seems to be the largest, most intricate and most successful (in terms of gdp extraction) confusopoly in history.
This got me thinking, and I went digging even further into historic mainframes. These rarely used eight-bit bytes, so calculating memory size on them is a little funny. But all had more than 256 bytes.

Whirlwind I (1951): 2048 16-bit words, so 4k bytes. This was the first digital computer to use core memory (and the first to operate on more than one bit at a time).

EDVAC (designed in 1944): 1024 44 bit-words, so about 5.6k.

ENIAC (designed in 1943): No memory at all, at least not like we think of it.

So there you go. All but the earliest digital computer used an address space greater than eight bits wide. I'm sure there are some micro controllers and similar that have only eight bit address spaces, but general purpose machines seem to have started at 12-bits and gone up from there.
