Wikipedia says "Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft" and that "[the] Terminal Services Edition of NT 4.0 relied on Citrix's MultiWin technology, previously provided as a part of Citrix WinFrame atop Windows NT 3.51, in order to support multiple users and login sessions simultaneously". Based on this it sounds to me like the protocol itself was the work of Microsoft and that Citrix built an extension to the server that multiplexed it. It also later remarks that "[the] T.128 application sharing technology was acquired by Microsoft from UK software developer Data Connection Limited", so it would seem that the protocol itself is a series of extensions developed on top of an open standard that they got via acquisition.

Years ago I worked in defense contracting. The US Department of Defense uses Citrix (which is easily Google-able; don't come at me about "OpSec") and my experience with it was always abysmal compared to RDP. I have a funny feeling that even with Microsoft in the mix it'd be cheaper and better for everybody involved to just pay M$ for the RDP CALs and ditch the dinosaur that is Citrix altogether.
I always wondered about voice deanonymization as well. I feel like between accent, gap between words, tonal variation, and rhythm, there's enough there to fingerprint speech, even with voice changers.
I never meant to imply clicking the ads in order to get fake clicks. What I meant was for any ads posters/videos that are loaded during page load to go ahead and load them BUT don't display them. This gives the website the impression count, but no fraudulent click throughs. This was how I was equating it to walking out of the room during broadcast commercial breaks.
While true, there’s also an asymmetry here in that a city can expand their landfill or sewer system capacity- orbital space has a fixed capacity
Interesting that uFuzzy depends on regexps. Python's regex library can handle fuzzy matching (up to a given number of insert/delete/substitutions) - if JavaScript had that, it would be a relatively simple change.
Yea, none of the companies I have worked for would have gone for anything like that due to the tight coupling between their code and algorithms. The thing is, the algorithms to optimize these things don't have to be that complex, a simple solution with if/else statements would get you a TON of energy savings and optimization of time of use.

I do plan on writing this software, but I am not sure when. I've been considering taking a year or so off (if I can save enough, or perhaps if my company dissolves or I am fired) to write a framework that you could add drivers for hardware to and add your own algorithms to. Basically, it's just a simple loop of "read telemetry from devices -> save telemetry to local database -> data processing steps (ELT/ETL stuff) -> optimize the use of these devices for some metric (energy use, peak power use, comfort, etc.) -> store results -> send new commands/parameters to the devices -> sleep(interval)" and then adding hardware device interface drivers and algorithms in there.

Edit: If you need to aggregate devices it's a bit harder, but I think it could be doable with distributed algorithms or with open-source interfaces between the utilities and individual customers. I am not sure of how that looks right now, but I prefer a world where millions of individuals run their grids the way they want (within safety regulations) and then they can sell their excess power to the grid via a standard protocol. Right now we're doing a lot of vacuuming of data that isn't necessary, since the data can easily be stored locally for these applications, with a distributed protocol. I actually think this is an application that could use blockchain in a neat way, but I would prefer to avoid that, if possible, due to the implications.

Doubt it.

This recession is more about everyone else down to line cooks in restaurants being able to negotiate for higher salaries.

At my previous role at Twitch, attackers were spamming our service with ToS-violating content (mostly porn but also grotesque, violent stuff) to an insane degree. The decision was made to temporarily require a phone number on all accounts in order to stream. I argued that phone numbers were easy to get, making this measure unhelpful, but we did it anyway. To my complete surprise, the attackers didn't bother the obviously surmountable hurdle of getting burner numbers.

Yes, phone numbers won't stop determined people, but in practice they're surprisingly effective. After my experiences, I believe that's because there's a difference between determined attackers trying to penetrate your system and people "just out for the lulz"
Since Melag seems to be an interpreted language embedded in C, it would be very useful to compare it with established alternatives, first of all, Lua (has coroutines) and QuickJS (has async generators and promises).

My understanding is that in Lua and JS coroutines are cooperative, and in Melang, preemptive: this is the key advantage.
Like Kotlin, but Kotlin also makes a lot of compromises to accommodate Java’s warts.

I disagree this is necessarily good for PE. PE/late stage VC used to have a game plan for how to dress these companies up to get huge growth multipliers, and then stick them in the S&P 500, but that game looks dead. Tiger Global was the poster child for this, and their -50% returns this year should be sending everyone back to the drawing board.

Unless Vista really thinks they can manipulate the old tech companies the way Figma's investors worked over Adobe, then I don't think the results will be great.
How to implement a state machine in Python:

But more seriously; once I was asked to implement offsetof in an interview for an entry level C++ position. I didn't quite remember that this was impossible during the heat of the interview, but I did remember enough to not produce an incorrect solution that relies on undefined behavior. I didn't get that job.

Yea, I am in the US, so I know mostly about stuff here, but I also think the US tends to use "* as a Service" more often than EU, right? Inherently, there isn't anything wrong with internet connective services, such as if your solar company is using your data to actually optimize the hardware on your home site. However, most of these today are middle-man cash grabs, IMO.

All of the above is true enough, but it is not the full story on why US nukes cost like they do.

The ones attempted recently in South Carolina and Georgia cost so much because people in a position to block building them want it that way. Once a nuke project starts, a torrent of money starts flowing. Everybody with a stake expects a share, and none want it ever to end. Finishing a plant would plug that flow. If it looks like the flow will dry up regardless, they might deliver something at the end.

We see the same process with urban tunnels and big military procurements. It is all perfectly legal.
It is probably not fixable.

Thus far, wind and solar projects have mostly avoided it, maybe in part because their legitimate costs are easy to estimate.

Existing nukes also cost more than renewables to operate, because they actually have operating costs. Big steam turbines, in particular, need regular overhauls. So, it is hard for anything with a steam turbine to compete with something that has none. Reactors need also operation, inspections, refueling, security, compliance monitoring... the list goes on.

Solar panels might need to be dusted off, or replaced. The worst that can happen to a wind turbine is to catch fire.
You literally missed my point.

This just makes me want to create AdSense accounts for every kid possible to ensure they are protected from being exploited by Google adtech products for life.
Besides absolutely miserable winters, french-enfrocement for businesses and chronic low-ball salaries for high tech jobs.

However summers are lovely albeit short, old Montreal is cute, and yes, cousine is delicious.
So, like, why don't you try to calculate this for yourself? As a pedagogical exercise, I think you'll get much more out of it if you compute the numbers for yourself and play through a bunch of "what if" scenarios.

Just to get you started with some ballpark numbers: The solar irradiance at ground level on a sunny day is greater than 1kW/m^2 for about 6 hours per day (google for "AM1.5"). Typical commercial panels have a conversion efficiency of 21-22%.

You seem very confident that solar is impossible, so why don't you make some reasonable assumptions and prove it to all of us?
>you're permanently rewired into "parent mode" and would have it no other way.

that's a big assumption. we'd like to think that all people that have become parents wanted to be parents, but not everyone that's a parent wanted it. obviously, certain actions could have been taken to help prevent that. however, even if both parents were in agreement neither wanted to be parents, their options are less and less with each month's passing.

Sibling comment is basically what I meant and my general opinion about the linked website as well.

> You're basically saying that being more knowledgeable about something makes your opinion less useful.

In certain contexts I definitely think this. Imagine you're a CEO that has to decide how to distribute profits among departments. Obviously you'll listen to the head/experts of every department to weigh your options, but you can't really trust them to be unbiased (Obviously not the best analogy but I hope it helps get my point across (: ).
Seems like the time to short the market was before it crashed. If your were lucky enough to have sold the top it’s probably time to start thinking about buying again.
Explains a lot.
The world is a really big place.

For example, when Okta bought Auth0 last year, that was titanic for my employer (we're in their space). But it barely made a ripple to anyone outside of the auth space. People still confuse Auth0 with OAuth when I give talks!

I think about it in other ways too. Look around you. Wherever you are, unless you are in the wilderness, there are 1000s of companies that worked to bring the built environment to you. Whether that be a picture frame, an envelope, a laundry basket, whatever.

It's humbling.

I’m personally planning on starting to buy back next week now that I am seeing so many retail investors interested in purchasing short ETFs. As I buy back in I hope to sell some puts with my cash

In case you’re being snarky, it’s easy for me to “beat” the market now because I just have to buy back below like 5% off ATH. I also don’t think I can time the market any more, I (and many others actually) just saw a special macro opportunity during the end of the last bull run

One thing I've never heard anyone talk about is how much you can learn about yourself from your children if you pay attention, e.g. my child would start crying if things got too loud and I could never concentrate apart from working in the middle of the night. Putting two and two together I got myself a pair of -30db fitted ear plugs and now I can work during the day just as effectively. Turned out I'd been doing me wrong for 20 years.
Only if you limit yourself to current CPU architectures. Even GPUs right now are significantly more declarative than CPUs, and it definitely seems like some point in the future we could end up moving towards asynchronous circuits built with memristors.

JavaScript has libraries for this (xstate) but I usually just do it something like this in typescript:

enum State { A, B, C };
enum Action { A, B };

type StateData =
| { state: State.A, data: whatever }
| { state: State.B, data: whatever }
| { state: State.C, data: whatever };

type ActionData =
| { type: Action.A, data: whatever }
| { type: Action.B, data: whatever };

function transition(prev: StateData, action: ActionData): StateData {
switch(action.type) {
case Action.A:
return { type: State.B, data: whatever };
case Action.B:
return { type: State.C, data: whatever };
}
}

Then you can for example if you were using this in react do something like

function MyComponent() {
const [state, setState] = useState<StateData>({ state: State.A, data: whatever });

return <button onClick={() => setState(transition(state, { action: Action.A, data: whatever }))}>Go!</button>;
}
I'm concerned by this

for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
eval('processor.mln', i);
}

Can we not reference a programmatic construct?
Misread this as "becoming your father" and it got a good chuckle out of me.
Sure, (most) Russians made less than (most) Americans but they also importantly made more than workers in other parts of the world (the "third world") and even more importantly much much more than Russians were making in 1917. There is also probably a stability dividend at play here -- Soviet jobs were much more stable and so much more desirable even at the same level of pay.

Why? Did they use fake people? Ask the people managing the flow of info from those 40 people and ask if it was real or not.

If anything, this is how I'd imagine real science being done. Doing something like this to get results at a scale that isn't quite funded, but enough to get attention. Later, someone else recreates the study at a larger scale to see if it is reproducible and hold as it scales.
