But that's exactly the point of device trees. You should be able to use generic ARM kernel build, and it loads appropriate drivers based on dtb provided by system firmware.

The table lists concentrations but not ignition temperature.

Genetic evidence suggests people got to the Americas about the same time as to Australia. That would have been by boat along Japan, the Aleutians, and down the west coast, maybe 50,000 years ago.

Polynesians came along tens of thousands of years later, starting from Taiwan and spreading out to southeast Asia, the Pacific, and Madagascar. They would have sailed from Pacific islands to Peru or Chile, and picked up sweet potato there. (Surprisingly, not potatoes or peanuts, although they could have taken and then lost those.)

We have certain evidence of hominins in California 130,000 years ago -- H. erectus, Neanderthal, Sap., or "other" -- although no evidence they left descendants.

By #1 I mean Zig's design of expressing all generic-related logic using normal control flow constructs that just happen to be evaluated at compile time.

For example, suppose you want a generic function or generic type to have some special cases for certain types. In C++, you would write a template specialization, which is a special syntax. In Zig you would just write an if() statement: https://ikrima.dev/dev-notes/zig/zig-metaprogramming/#dynami...

A lonely number like root three
A three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
With just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.
Id rather see dozens of criminals get away with a crime than see one innocent person rot in jail for nothing.
The PC model worked because a lot of people put a lot of blood sweat and tears into making it work and then embraced the sunk cost fallacy to a degree only previously seen in politics and religion.

Open Firmware—between the device tree system and the bytecode driver system—plus ELF provide a truly universal boot protocol for 32-bit and larger systems. And not only that, major and tractable implementations are now Open Source too, including things like the bytecode compilers.

It’s practically unconscionable that modern ARM and RISC-V don’t simply require Open Firmware boot support.
This isn't true.

"Tackling climate change" without radical technology rollouts involves decreasing the standard of living for billions; or at least, preventing them from entering the current carbon-intense developed world.

Nigeria, India, and Indonesia aren't going to go along with "oh, yes I know that the West got rich via high-emission carbon-based growth, but we need you to not do the same thing".

(On the other hand, reducing emissions in the developed world is already underway, for a real but limited lifestyle cost).

> To be in Positano as a middle-class person — someone who can afford to travel and take time off work but not, say, afford to buy real estate in the city where they live — is to feel like an idiot for believing it could have been any better, or that being there is actually a benefit to the lives of the people who live there.

The article needs personal examples. Rebecca tells us that influencer-filled Positano is a terrible place to be and stops there. Don’t tell me, show me.

I do agree that seeking “the best” doesn’t serve us well when traveling. You end up in the same touristy spots as everyone else.

Case in point: when I was in Krakow, Poland, I went to a nearby salt mine, but instead of taking the English language tour went with a Polish group. I understood enough Polish to hear the guide talking about “those tourists” and had a great, immersive experience as an undercover tourist.
oh damn

i can tickle myself reliably and in a bunch of diff places but pretty sure i'm otherwise normal. not a schizo not an autist so idk why... or at least pretty sure i'm not (◕‿◕)

>> Can you play the same game on two devices from the same steam account without hiding offline?

> Steam doesn't enforce DRM. You can usually go to the game files and just click the launcher from the file manager and the game will run without steam getting involved.

Giving this answer to that question indicates that OP really did mean that you can simply bypass Steam's DRM enforcement (e.g. of playing a game on only one device at a time) by clicking on the launcher directly.

It's not "nonsensical", it's just wrong.

And for context: both of those numbers are based on studying proven false convictions of people given the death penalty, which of course is a) supposed to have a high bar of evidence to convict in the first place and b) does have an incredibly high bar of both evidence and legal argument to be proven innocent after conviction.
Since the majority of people convicted of crimes in the USA didn't even go to trial, it is realistically impossible that this number applies to all people in prison - the percentage of false overall convictions must be higher than the percentage of people who were sentenced to death and then proved themselves innocent, given the different pressures and levels of scrutiny on different crimes.

I used to work for a company a year ago who's initial market was selling object definitions for Medical software (in Delphi). It was all HL7 spec models. They've pivoted to B2B software now rather than marketing to developers, but that was back around the 2000's that they were doing it.

Most convictions aren’t via trial but via plea bargains. It’s fair to assume that innocent people are less likely to take a plea bargain than guilty people, so the chances of getting falsely convicted could be quite high for an innocent person going to trial.

When our office manager quit to pursue better and more lofty opportunities (all the power to them!!), I gave her one final task for her last week or so — list every single thing that you are responsible for.

In essence, I asked her to note down everything that made up her carrying capacity on a day-to-day basis.

At the same time, I realised that if I tasked myself with this very same exercise, I would simultaneously be horrified by the amount that I am (at least partially) responsible for, and terrified that I'd forgotten something in that list.

To this day I have not done this exercise.

I've done assembler, basic, forth, fortran, pascal, Delphi, VBA, HTML, ASP, Python, Octave. I've actively avoided C for 40 years, but some nerd sniping finally got me.

I tried Rust, and the borrow checker was a huge red flag for me. The idea of "owning" the value of a variable was too weird.

I'll stick to Free Pascal, C, Assembler and STOIC, it turns out I'm a fan of VERY STRONG type checking.

All the discussion about bonuses being counterproductive rewards for performance proceeds from the assumption that bonuses are intended as a reward for performance.

Actually, bonuses are mostly a way for a company to be flexible in the amount paid to employees. If the company has a bad year, cutting salary will have people looking for the exits... but they might accept a smaller than usual bonus.

That's only because the materials and labor needed for them is far less than in the past thanks to technological improvements, plus economies of scale are generally better now (population is much larger: lots of consumers in other countries like China buying the same stuff).

> I'm editing TS perfectly fine in Jetbrains IDEs, and some coworkers use emacs and vim without any issues, still getting all the error highlights, etc.

That's why you don't have any issues. The error popups aren't the problem. It's the autocomplete and type popups.

The last few years TS has raised an army of shit devs that code in such a way that it's literally impossible to read the code without your IDE popping up multiple boxes to tell you what is happening. They just search every function name, giving zero thought to where anything lives in the directory structure. They type everything like fucking idiots, with layers upon layers of types across 10+ files, all of which you have to open just to find out you're working with an object that has a couple of strings and a number on it. Of course VSCode will just tell you this when you hover over the variable, if you're using it.

Just wait until you get a project where these muppets have a majority and you'll feel the pain.

One thing I'd like to know is what exactly happened here. Obviously there were multiple miscarriages of justice, but this seems like a pertinent one.

EDIT: (obviously not _the most_ pertinent one, but still one I'd like details/reasoning on. Why would the judge do that, once they had the evidence in front of them).

I think you learn the box-and-arrow diagrams in an algorithms class. You learn about cache and memory in a systems class. When you get a real job, if someone asks you to write a performant binary tree in a low-level language, you combine knowledge from both these experiences and make an inference on what to do. Maybe you try, test, and iterate. Maybe you read some blog posts or find a canonical implementation in another language.

Either way, it doesn't seem like a huge knowledge gap.
Youtube Premium is very worth the money IMO. You’re missing out on being able to click around easily, I couldn’t get by with just YouTube-dl. But it is a good hack to get around ads. I’m a huge YouTube user though.

Mesopotamian history is fascinating and deserves a lot more attention. It is the oldest root of human civilization itself and gives us insight into the most fundamental aspects of what civilization is today.

War is not the only means of conquest. Vietnam was manufacturing and drinking Coca-Cola in the 1960s, and as mentioned here, Germanic religion was interwoven with Christian culture during the Roman conquest of Europe.

One interesting and obscure connection is the origin of the words "hell" and "hall", as "hall" means "covered place" and "valhalla" means "hall of the dead" from Old Norse.

However, the original Hebrew and Greek is often "גֵּיהִנּוֹם‎" or "γέεννα" meaning "the valley of Hinnom." This is a physical place near Jerusalem where bodies denied a proper burial were burned, and some suggest it was even a region where human sacrifices took place.

You may be very surprised at what you find when you look into the origins of things that are taken for granted. Everything has some sort of origin, and historical roots can run very deep. Without looking at things on a deeper level, you are at the mercy of the surface-level understanding from your surrounding culture.
