> Green in the middle of the visible spectrum is the most intense, whereas blue and red fall of towards the edges of the visible spectrum, so are less intense.

The Sun appears yellow and orange because green, blue and red light is scattered by the atmosphere; in space, the Sun appears white like other stars. The questions are, if green is the most intense frequencies output by white stars, why are there no green stars? And why aren't plants yellow and/or orange?

But I'm one that believes that instead of reducing its power consumption, Bitcoin, the community, will find better ways to produce green power.

Vulkan vs what? DX9 or DX11 or DX12. Also it really matters how well you wrote your Vulkan layer. If you write a good DX12 layer and a good Vulkan layer I think they will be comparable in perf - The bottleneck will be the GPU and/or driver. So it also depends on how well the driver writers did.

Keep in mind the ISW is literally a neocon think tank with Bill Kristol on the Board and leading the charge as Director. For anybody who doesn't know, Bill Kristol is perhaps the biggest warmonger alive, next to Kissinger. He is the neocon kingmaker.

Actually "full speed" (USB 1.1, 12 Mbps) is the slowest speed that still somewhat common (in keyboards, etc). High speed (USB 2.0) is 480 Mbps.

I do agree though, as you and many other people have in the comments, just getting a numeric Mbps rating would be way better than the 3.1 x2 gen 4 nonsense.

Those are irrelevant? Consumers only care about: speed and wattage. You're technically never supposed to care or even know about which USB standard it is, all of those Gen 3.2 2x2 aren't supposed to be consumer facing.

USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 “consumer” name is^W was "SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps" that is what USB-IF been suggesting since the beginning. However, to use that name, they have to submit to testing and compliance. Otherwise, they can use whatever name they want.

As long as there are no two different standards that are capable of the same wattage and speed—everything is good.

There's not much new under the sun. Virtual machines were created in the 1960s, for example.

The wisdom I was given by an old hand is that the computer industry goes through a cycle of focus: disk, network, CPU - at any given time the currently 'hot' technology is targeting one of these hot spots.

I am not sure I have lived long enough to see this play out for myself but it seemed that there was some truth to it when I first heard it.

You will find such positions often championed by people who don't understand how machine learning works - but maybe have tried out a fancy tool that used such a model (GPT-2, Stable Diffusion, etc).

I'm not MTF, so I can't comment on that. I do know that the clash between what I heard from cis dudes and what I experienced/how I felt was part of figuring out I was nonbinary. They seem to revel in the positive expectations and seek out the validation and feel bad when they fall short of those expectations. They just didn't mesh with what I felt I wanted.

I also don't mesh with most of the experiences and feelings I hear about from trans women. I knew about trans people, but had no idea about nonbinary as an identity until the 2010s, so I was pretty much listless and confused identity-wise until then. Now I keep meeting enby after enby whose experiences mesh with my own.

>> "I’m wondering, do you feel like your experience has anything to do with your identity?"

Identity is just a tag you put on a collection of experiences. You can take the tag off, add others, and make your own. Gender is a social construct, but it also seems to have a biological aspect that every culture we have meaningful records of found a way to apply socially.

I like DataDog but it is prohibitively expensive for monitoring serverless applications, even with negotiated rates. I don’t think their sales team has identified a reasonable way to bill applications that entirety use serverless AWS services. We’re looking for alternatives.

If I understood correctly, the implicit assumption is that different wavelengths of light will result in energy being produced at different rates. So having two far apart wavelengths results in one fast process and one slow process, with the slow process helping to buffer out any intermittent dips in sunlight.

If I would guess, for this past 3 years, CPU and software are tested and optimized on a kernel with Spectre-like mitigation-enabled. That caused a lot of trend shifts like don't relies on automatic branch prediction, some code even explicitly avoid the speculative execution altogether, resulting no performance gain on mitigation-disabled. Even more, since they don't test on mitigation-disabled, they failed to noticed the performance issues under mitigation-disabled.

Not only that, but at least since 8 years ago give or take, your cookies/other identifying info can be matched to an offline traceable tender such as credit card / loyalty program.

There are no green stars because stars don't just emit one wavelength, they emit a range that has a peak somewhere. If the peak is green, they also emit similar amounts of red and blue light, and all combined the result looks white. Whereas there totally are blue stars and red stars out there, because those colors are at either end of the visible spectrum, and so you can get a lot more blue than red out of a star or vice versa.
this may be daydreaming too shallowly, but I wonder if basic Javascript UI patterns could be identified by some tool. Something along the lines of a new pane showing up in the Developer Tools that semantically identifies the roles of certain Javascript.

* This block of code ensures these UI elements are synched among each other.
* This block of code sends this UI data to this server address.

Something that gives a rough & coarse data tracing dependency analysis of inputs and outputs. There may be techniques to defeat this but I think some general patterns would become established where web designs could begin to be shifted to compartmentalize different functionality to streamline such a tool being able to to pare off the insignificant and safe parts of JS and enable folks like yourself to zero in on the interesting and questionable parts.
The fact that you think a "formal international treaty" means anything, tells us that you're not ready.

So Linux is worse because you are more familiar with Windows?!

Also I am running into all kinds of problems every day with Windows and end up on Google all the time with way worse answers, no way to deeply debug most things and worst no way to fix them myself. I am way to often depending on some big capitalistic company to fix my problems and hope they feel like doing it. Linux is DIY capable. If I have the abilities and time to fix something I can most of the time do it myself.

Also to answer some of your questions:
- you want to use Pulseaudio, alsa has no usecase on a desktop
- and use vim or neovim if you are into plugins. vi is just an old editor which got replaced by vim.

> There are also strange constructions that don't actually correspond to a single folder

The Explorer does not browse the file system, it browses a graph of (COM) objects called the “shell namespace”[1], and has been since Windows 95. Notable examples of non-filesystem nodes include My Computer, Recycle Bin, Control Panel, and Network Neighbourhood; a more obscure one is the All Tasks (“god mode”) collection of all settings applets that exists so that the Start menu can search it[2].

I actually think it’s neat how seamlessly this approach has been integrated—we don’t usually think about it even though we actually encounter it all the time. Microsoft’s attempts to extend this to a full-blown object-oriented (Cairo) or relational (Longhorn) filing system were always so muddled I don’t really get what the actual idea was, though.

I think this is neat having looked at the examples but isn't the title really just a game of semantics?

Non rigorously a web API is just the boundary across some service which you communicate with over (commonly) HTTP at the endpoints specified at that boundary by developers. I could write my own library that wraps those endpoints with functions that make the calls to them, in fact many libraries do just that.

What this takes care of, again kind of nicely, is dynamically and automatically generating that boiler plate as you write your API so you don't have to put in the work, but I think saying this isn't just a style of building an API is a little much.

Whether you're doing RPC, REST or whatever the boundary between your service and another service is it's API.

The US should, if it had any balls or was worthy of trust, declare that any nuclear attack on ukraine will be seen as a war declaration to the US.

My understanding is that a nuclear attack against Ukraine puts the Budapest Memorandum in play. The effect will be similar, in that we'll be more or less compelled to join the war on Ukraine's side.

If we fail to do that, then good luck with any future nonproliferation efforts that involve promises from the "good guys."
IMO the flash runtimes leaked memory and that made them bad for long-running applications.

I remember writing a long-running digital display app and the memory would balloon to the point where we would use a product (mdx/mdm?) to restart the flash player periodically.

First and foremost: get over it. Particularly in IT we all have these hopes and dreams and ideas. Don’t confuse those with anything viable that you’re actually going to do.

Second: focus on what is doable and will take x hours to accomplish, x being a finite and quantifiable number.

Third: get a significant other or family member. Are they complaining that you haven’t done x? That’s a good indication x really matters and is achievable.
Very interesting talk by Alan Moore on the origins of consciousness, magic, shamanism, and how the entirety of human culture came out of the engagement of the first people experiencing consciousness with its full possibilities (which is how Moore defines "magic" for the purposes of this talk).

Wrong the first time. Still wrong.
If your goal is to limit tracking, this does help, however it won't stop any server to server (versus client browser to server) data pass through. Any events the advertiser/publisher deems important, they can first-party collect the relevant tracking data and pass it from their server to the ad server (i.e. TikTok, Google, MS, FB etc.)
I guess I happen to be really focused on certain types of apps/services right now, but off the top of my head: Twilio, Heroku, Enchant, Robinhood, McMaster-Carr (which was shared on here recently), Linear.app. Probably a lot more, but these are apps that deliver a ton of complex functionality and make the components you need accessible easily without creating cognitive overload as a user.
Well, USB-IF made a mistake with USB High Speed, Super Speed (+), Full Speed.

Since 3.2 it was pretty simple:

- SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps

- SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps

- and so on.

However, to use, those vendors must send devices for testing and compliance. Many just don't do certification because they don't want, and some don't do that because they're making straight up non-compliant: SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps a.k.a. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 can only come in USB-C form.

USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 which has the same speed as USB 3.2 Gen 2x1, but it only comes in USB-C unlike USB 3.2 Gen 2x1. When you see a motherboard with USB-A ports and those specs - those are not certified.

Then Super Speed branding tells you nothing about Power Delivery.
The grading system is fairly meritocratic - essays are graded off syllabi and fixed points are deducted for wrong math answers. The girls and boys in a school are coming from the same cross-sections of society, so if the girls get better grades maybe they are just winning at the meritocracy? I have a hard time believing there is an actual inequality of opportunities across genders past maybe a superficial level.

I am skeptical interventions actually help - the students who do the right things in their own time will get better grades.
I believe most keyboards and mouses use "low speed" (1.5Mbps).

> But they admitted namespaces, enums

And decorators. But this was very early on and they won’t ever do it again unless there’s a drastic change on principle and probably a reorg of global proportion. They categorically reject anything with runtime implications now, and to the point of decorators are actively working to align them with the standard as it’s approaching stability.

> and interfaces into the language (the latter becoming more and more confusing as type aliases got more expressive) […] Is "as", "is", or "satisfies" expression-level?

No. All of this is completely separate from the runtime and on a standards course to be treated effectively as comments.

> But the enums!

I’m one of the minority who actually likes TS enums, but I strongly suspect they’ll be deprecated, alongside namespaces, as soon as there’s general consensus around types as comments. The TypeScript team considers these mistakes and would very much like to be able to drop them. I’d welcome that too even though I quite like enums.

The fact is TS has considerable backwards compatibility expectations, and aligning their mistakes with their goals is great on principle but something which would require thousands upon thousands of hours of labor for people to accommodate.

You can snipe all you want, but if you think it’s that easy to resolve maybe I can direct you to https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pulls

I’m not affiliated with the team in any way but I’m almost totally certain they’d welcome a contribution that gets them closer to their stated principles where historical designs are entrenched, without breaking workflows for thousands of people and interrupting releases for millions.
These shutdowns are a calculated cover for the day the DOJ shows up and slaps them with a monopoly tag for their dominant (and money printing) products.

"Monopoly? Us? Look how many times we've failed. Any dominant marketshare we have could easily disappear. Look how many times we've failed..."

Put another way, certainly Google is aware of the perception impact of these shutdowns. And yet, like clockwork, they persist. It's either intentional, or they're devoid of data about perceptions of the brand. It can't be the latter, can it?
I managed to avoid being OOP-ed at the beginning of my programming career when I discovered "Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl and "Programming Perl" by Larry Wall. It was a close call as I shared a house with a Java programmer who swore Java was the future. Perl was much cooler so I stayed with it and when Clojure appeared it was that much easier to learn, not having to de-OOP myself.

>Most articles, like this one tend to lay the blame at the feet of boys and men in a way that would be obscene if it were applied to women or minorities.

Which is problematic because minorities are a subset of men. When you legitimize saying men are statistically for dangerous, that disproportionately ends up hurting black and brown men more as they are more likely to be assumed to be dangerous. It's implicit racist and it's crazy that it's acceptable in the mainstream just because no of wants to consider PoC
