But that's packed with fat calories as well and fat has a much higher energy density as carbohydrates.
As an European I'm very very astonished over the size of the food portions in fast food restaurants in the US. If this portion size is the same on the diner table than it's not only sugar but a lot of non necessary calories.
I don't think it's entirely caused by sugar but by a big surplus of calories in day to day food (combined with too little physical activity)
My experience has been that if your org doesn't intentionally do something to build rapport and relationships among remote staff, it's probably not going to happen, and consequently interaction will feel mostly transactional and clinical.
I believe that when a file is mmap'd a page table is created for it in the . As you perform read/write on the file a fault loads the actual entries into that page table. As pages can be mapped they so too can be unmapped under pressure, without that falling back to swap (since it is already a file backed map, you wouldn't swap a file backed map to a different file after all).

There are a few relevant bits to this. You can MAP_POPULATE the file to prepopulate the entries and you can MAP_LOCKED to MAP_POPULATE + lock the pages in (unreliably). As mentioned in the man page for mmap MAP_LOCKED has some failure modes that you don't get with mlock.

Yeah nothing is more annoying than touch screen inputs while driving. Even my porsche has an obvious input lag and the touch screen is rather low quality. German cars aren't particularly great when it comes to electronics let alone touch screens.
If I am, then when did I enter the Metaverse?

> To get on the world wide web ... all shared with peer-to-peer networks like Napster or BitTorrent

To be technical, the "world wide web" here is used as a synecdoche for the Internet. Neither Napster nor BitTorrent used a World Wide Web protocol. They (like ftp, which is no longer supported by the major web browsers) are part of the Internet.

> So whereas in Web 1 users had their offline and online worlds, in the Web 2 era, the two dimensions increasingly merged.

FWIW, my online world started in college around 1990, primarily on the local campus network. This includes chatting online to people in the same room, and going to (physical) parties with network friends. While there was Internet, my online world was primarily the local network.

This predates HTTP, so in this part of the text neither "online" nor "Web" should be seen as a synecdoche for Internet.

Reducing complexity and simplifying history helps support what seems to be a rather Wiggish history used to support it conclusion, rather than challenge it.

> The metaverse is just our name for the final evolution of the internet, where the borders between “the real world” and the digital dissolve.

Aren't all those "if you know where to look" articles essentially the same pearl-clutching we heard about Gen-X slackers, lazy hippies, (mid-20th centrury) hipsters, 1920s flappers, and 1890s claims of fin de siècle social degeneracy?

> Whether you’re absorbed with massive multiplayer games ...

So .... to make sure I understand, a "discourse-themed video game" like Usenet of 30 years ago, is part of the metaverse, yes? People certainly dwelled in that virtual world.

> it will be irreducibly entangled with the metaverse.

While this sounds deep, aren't we also already irreducibly entangled with movies, with literature, with sports, with ships, with criminals, with dogs, and so many other things?

I wonder if a century or so ago many people thought life was irreducibly entangled with the telegraph.

Imagine being a Commonwealth state and having to update your money. Elizabeth was a handsome queen and looks fine on a bill. Charles, though ... well, he has a face only a mother could love.
Banning a service because it "might be used for illegal purposes" is insufficient. This is a problem with law enforcement in general: they are lazy and seek to have automated solutions to so much of what used to be called police work. This applies to warrant-less wiretaps, pulling information on people from 3rd party data brokers to side-step warrant and FOIA requirements, and more. I would rather money-launderers get away with things and for freedom to prosper than to have an all-encompassing surveillance state.

Assuming that the vehicle has empty road in front of them, at night, with sufficient contrast.

Many people drive vehicles during the day, on a road with other vehicles, or other competing lighting sources.

What is better is an indication system that works in all conditions, rather than requiring the driver to look different places under different scenarios.

Indicator lamps placed high upon a dashboard work in 100% of driving conditions and also allows the driver to remain looking in the correct direction.

The only thing they lack is marketing gee-whiz favor.
Thanks to corn subsidies, we have high fructose corn syrup in many foods you wouldn't expect to find it. Milk by-products are the same way. My wife recently developed lactose intolerance, so we've been finding milk products in tons of things you wouldn't have expected it. Instant ramen? The flavor mix includes milk solids. Cheap hot dogs? More milk solids. Flavored chips, even when not cheese flavored? They have lactose too. Many brands of chicken nuggets or fish sticks? Milk is everywhere! We subsidize some of these industries to the point of over production which leads to companies finding "clever" ways of utilizing that excess often to the detriment of the population at large.
Whenever I hear about any American mall, I can't help but think of Dan Bell's Dead Mall series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5NsVylQBWM&list=PLNz4Un92pG...

Oddly enough, I live in Melbourne, Australia and the humble mall AKA shopping centre is well and truly alive.
Blaming plastic seems incredibly strange to me, given that plastics are practically universally present in American life but obesity itself is not universal.
Not just "stranger danger", but fewer people (in the US, and AIUI increasingly other parts of the developed world) live in a place where you can do anything without driving. As a result, not only are children barred from operating independently of their parents' time, but everyone is more sedentary, by nature of replacing active travel with automotive travel at every opportunity.
Dinners with friends, walks in nature, time spent with family, is what I live for.

Please read the comment I have reacted to which admits that "99% of the trips could be done in a smaller vehicle".

I challenge you to stand next to a crossing for 20 minutes during rush hour and count the number of SUVs with more than one person in it (or any visible load that warrants such a car). As someone who lived next to a big crossing I can tell you that you might have a hard time finding anybody that is not alone in their completely empty car. Big cars are mostly for the feelings of those sitting inside them, and very occasionally for transport.

Btw. I think every car has it's purpose. I mean trucks deliver nearly everything I eat and they are even bigger. But they aren ot driving around empty. But if every normal commuter would drive an empty 16 ton truck to work every day I would ask them if they are mad. And rightfully so.
If you want to build another Chromium you need billions, since that's how Chromium was built. But maybe you don't even need to build another Chromium.

The enduser couldn't care less what if-else nightmare logic you ran in your "application engine" in order to reach the current framebuffer, they care only about the framebuffer. Following this logic, that tidy codebase should perhaps be also tiny: in the extreme case, just thinking on a whim right now, it should be comprised of only one "module": a stable diffusion-like algorithm which ingests the HTML/CSS/JS specification documents and the requested website response and "simply" outputs the adequate framebuffer, with which the enduser interacts accordingly. This kind of approach probably reduces the cost from billions to only a few millions for the GPUs training time. Sort of a "generative browser", a "genser", if you will.
"Enemy of the State" (1998) tech becoming reality.
No. The road is a shared space and it should be respected as such. We already need to reduce the lumens on headlights. And probably take out "hi-beams" altogether. Seriously, I've never been in a situation where it's made a difference worth talking about. In over 20 years of driving, I can count on one hand the number of times I've intentionally turned on my hi-beams. And it was mostly to see if it would help. It did not.
> The more you try to control the environment, the more stifling it becomes. I think this is why I turned on malls after spending my formative years inside them. As I got older, I yearned for the unpredictability of a less manicured and mass-produced reality, one more surprising than what a stop at the Gap or Sbarro could offer.

Christ, isn't that the case. I remember as a child visiting different places in the U.S. and it was often like visiting foreign countries. Increasingly though, so much of the U.S. looks so much like the rest in terms of retail/food that I begin to feel the entire country is in fact a mall of sorts.
I’m my area we have high end and ethnic malls, both approaches do well but ethnic (eg Chinese, Filipino) needs much cheaper rent to thrive.
The correct answer is: DON'T.

The % of actual gas used does not matter much as the price is set by the most expensive form of production at that moment. Most of the time this is a peaker gas (or oil) plants if it is required to run one.

So if you normally need to run the last 1% of your production with peaker plants that used to cost X but now due to external reasons their costs are 10X then your electricity price for the moment they are on is 10 times more.

>> "What is truly stunning about the fact that modern science and mathematics are formulated through a sequence of marks is its exclusivity: nothing other than these finite sequences of symbols is ever found in modern mathematical reasoning."

Well that's simply not true. We draw pictures all the time. But putting that aside...

Written mathematics is a serialized form of mathematical understanding, meant to be decoded by other mathematicians. The understanding itself is often very non-textual, and the process of serialization and deserialization can be extremely difficult. And the reasoning process itself often proceeds in non-textual ways, prior to the process of serialization.

The mlock manual[0] has a "notes" section that provides a good brief summary. The GNU libc manual has more than anyone would ever want to read about memory management, including a section on memory locking[1].

On an intuitive level, think of swap as being a place the kernel can put memory the program has written. When you malloc(4096) and write some bytes into it, the kernel can't evict that page to disk unless there's some swap space to stick it in. However, executables are different because they're already on disk -- the in-memory version is just a cache (everything is cache (computers have too many caches)). The kernel is allowed to drop the copy of the program it has in memory, because it can always read it back from the original executable.

you are lost.
To be fair, they're implemented with one of the segment registers, at least on x86-64. So there isn't much else that programs could have used it for, since it takes a syscall just to set the value.
It certainly makes building Mini ITX a lot more interesting when you're trying to get the sweet spot for performance to thermals/noise ratio.

I did a nCase M1 build recently and my objective for the build was small as possible, quiet as possible, and as powerful as possible in that order. I still ended up with a pretty powerful machine by going with an i3-12100 instead of an i5/i7 which uses much less power and puts out less heat. The RTX 3080 reference card was the biggest card that could fit into the case which I undervolted.

A lot of people are undervolting their RTX GPU's because for an only about a ~3% performance loss you get about 10C less temp which translates to far less fan noise. I don't know why Nvidia doesn't just have a one click button for people.

nCase unfortunately have discontinued this case based on 'market factors' which I suspect means that they don't anticipate things to be getting smaller and cooler any time soon.

> Q: Do you have a JavaScript JIT compiler?

> No, we have a traditional AST interpreter that is being replaced by a bytecode VM. You can track the LibJS test262 score for both backends here. I’m not convinced that the complexity and security burdens of a JavaScript JIT are reasonable, and given recent developments like Microsoft Edge’s Super Duper Secure Mode, I’m interested in pushing for best-effort JIT-less performance while keeping the codebase simple.

Always excited to see new JS engines. I'd be curious to see where LibJS's performance / code simplicity / memory balance tends towards over time.

I was already on a distributed team when the pandemic hit. I think it ended up that way by combination of being a high-trust environment and being a low-corporate-overhead environment (ie still a startup, albeit a late stage one).

It was the most reasonable place I ever worked. I wasn’t given timelines, but I was the one proposing them, and everyone understood that timelines shifted due to unknowns. They paid my health insurance premiums and copays so I didn’t need to think about or worry about any of that crap. every meeting had a remote call link and nobody asked why you weren’t there in person. The management treated employees like adults.

For a twenty something who only ever had butts-in-seats type office jobs, it was pretty revolutionary to me.
We offer Julia at https://cocalc.com both via Jupyter notebooks and Julia’s own Pluto notebooks. That said, Julia tends to be a lot more memory intensive than other language we support, so the free tier is not as useful.

Well, the goal from the article is obviously to make it cross-platform, it's even in the title ;). To achieve that they just wrapped it in Qt. To replace that you'd have to achieve parity for the (admittedly smallish) subset of Qt that is being used. Starting with Linux for that would be a good start, but I'd assume the eventual goal would be to expand to other platforms as well.
DVI is almost literally digitized VGA, with analog signals replaced by differential signalling and symbol encoding to keep it DC-balanced. HDMI extends it by encoding audio and extra metadata (eg. used colorspace) inside blanking intervals (yes, they still use blanking intervals that were originally required for CRT displays). It doesn't do any handshake. Main difficulty is just high clocks required, and necessity to dynamically pick symbols (unless you only use few preselected DC-balanced values). DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 are different, with packet-based transmission.
It would be good to let cyclists use the road to project onto it the safe margins for passing cyclists, and to photograph the plates of cars that do not observe those margins.
> but I'm very skeptical of trying to assign metaphysical meanings to it.

Let's leave aside talk of God and such things and think instead of how many of the worlds more prolific mathematicians have talked of their work and their "discoveries".

They feel they explore a landscape outside of that which you can kick and "discover" things that were always true, before they came and after they die.

Many are not approaching the field as toolmakers and engineers seeking a practical means to assist in building want they want but as explorers seeking new ground and hitherto unknown objects and their relationships.
Yes and no. I believe this technology is an extension of selective darkening headlights.

Essentially, a camera system can detect surrounding vehicles and selectively darken the lighting around them. It means you could effectively always run your high-beams since the vehicles around you won't be blinded.
It's not only Malls. We used to go _shopping_...Service Merchandise, Sears, Circuit City, La Belles, K-Mart, Borders...for better or worse, in a large metro area, you're more likely to only have Food (Kroeger), and Boutique Food (Whole Foods) as places to go hang out.

Sure, there's the Movie Theatre, but having gone last week when they had $3 tickets, people have forgotten how to go to the Theatre...likewise, we went to Cirque de Soleil's OVO and it's clear we've lost a little in the 'how to entertain' and a lot of 'how to behave while being entertained'.
I suspect it's a modifier at the edges; if X calories you gain Y weight per day, this can make that Y+(some percentage).

There is human interaction while working from home. The difference is that is that folks aren't trying to fill the entirety of their waking hours worth of human interaction within those 8 hours of work.

I work for a tech company based out of a cornfield (only a slight exaggeration). I've seen too many co-workers who burned out during quarantine because their entire social circle was based around the office and their colleagues. After hours sports were played in the office gym.

Ah, ok. I'd got as far as going, you can call "&","|" etc. a number based on its truth table, and then you can extend this to other operators we don't think about so much by completing the number range, but I hadn't got so far as going... what...

a = (o >> (x + 2y)) % 2

or something.

I'd hoped it might involve adding/multiplying different operators together or something like that.
The office model that the likes of Google et. al. have is also a means of doing age discrimination on the sly. These offices are in places that it's vastly difficult for cost and other reasons to have a family, so folks that get to that stage in their lives end up leaving or finding some way to do distance based arbitrage. Remote work short circuits that so of course they don't like it.
In high school we used Newton's method to solve polynomials.

Then we got an equation and just a slight change in the starting point gave a different solution. We started plotting everything on graph paper. Then we wrote a program in MathCAD to calculate the numbers for us and plot it. Then we wrote a program to plot the solutions. Then we added color to the program.

It was then that our teacher told us that we had created a fractal. We then played around with fractint, learned about some real world cases of fractals, a little about chaos theory and weather prediction.

I loved it all. The best part was rather than our teacher just saying "here is a fractal" we "discovered" it on our own each day over the course of a week.
