Is everyone just secretly a sadist? I don't understand how making it harder for people in that much pain to be freed from their suffering is moral or just.
aria2 can download a torrent from a magnet link given as CLI parameter.
I would hazard they are asking for file-block sequential downloads from start of file to end, so they can start watching a movie while it is still downloading and be assured that the first parts of the moview are present without gaps ...

This goes against the general cluster inter-peer everybody swaps what they have so far w/out reference to file position for maximising transmission within a swarm design of the torrent protocol.
Of course they don't, they just gas the atmosphere causing ~10^5–10^6 deaths per year. /s

You really cannot argue with statistics. Per unit energy, nuclear is orders of magnitude safer than coal.

As I wrote before, I have observed similar issues reported by many T series owners when I was desperately scouring the Internet for a fix for months. Of course, I haven't used a T series ThinkPad so I can't say if these issues got resolved or not. I gave up long ago and now keep my laptop on 24x7 when I'm not traveling.
Depends on what torrent is about. For me, it is about watching shows that you can't officially watch where I live yet. Once I week, I hit up a site and, click a magnet link, and a couple of minutes later I can watch my favorite show. (The cost of the VPN is incidentally about the same as a streaming subscription. I think for this reason it is tolerated by the powers that be.)

I don't expect torrents to be available for a long time. Only very few people keep the torrent entry in their client alive for long, even though I keep around all the files. This is as opposed to eMule and older systems, where you can download any file in the user's media folder.
parallel is even great for non-parallel things because of its simple CLI handling and transformation of filenames (`{}`, `{.}`, `{/}`, etc.)

e.g. `ls old/*.jpeg | parallel mv {} new/{/.}.jpg` is easier than a bash loop.[1]

[1] Yes, it should be `find -print0` or something, blah blah, it's an example.
Moore's law is:

Transistor density doubling every 18 months for a similar cost.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law#cite_note-Moore_...

By those terms, Moore's law is totally extinct.

Folk haven't noticed however, because the "leading edge" logic manufacturers have 60% gross margins. The vast majority of their costs are in design, distribution and overhead.

Price rises of 30% to 100% have disguised that the cost of manufacturing the silicon is an order of magnitude more than a decade ago.

Granted, the above numbers are not the actual inflation adjusted wafer cost for leading edge nodes.

But, $16,000 for a 300mm wafer is extraordinary.
I think "shouldn't" might be a fairer phrasing.

I guess that's useful for existing OS/2 based ATMs or ticket-vending machines, where you might need to emit some "beeps" or play limited other types of audio. Can't imagine there is a huge need for multimedia capabilities on OS/2.

I wonder if they really tested it on Connectix Virtual PC (which according to Wikipedia did have an OS/2 version available... maybe they tested an OS/2 inception?).
Looking out for my dad more while I was at university. He was divorced, retired, and full of unhealthy habits. I could have come home and cook him a nice meal, do some woodwork side-by-side and tell him what I was working on (he was very proud of me).

It’s quite easy to block Xunlei. First, they identify themselves in the connection. Second, no matter how much you upload to them, they always report zero progress.

The maintainers reject the proposal to block by client ID. But they never consider the second method.
They only have a selection of all podcasts.

I once used their trial tool, to transcribe some episode. The functionality is good, but it is commercial. I wouldn't use it often enough to justify signing up.

So if there were some similar tool where I don't have to sign up to some paid service just to transcribe one episode here or there, that'd be neat.

Read of Whisper in the comments. I like that it doesn't appear to require some API keys to use their model. But I'd rather not install yet another Python package that likely comes with a whole bunch of new dependencies.

> fiscal policies of Clinton were in favor of long-term stability (e.g. specifically his tax policies and balancing the budget)

Of special note, the two BRAC rounds that were conducted under his presidency (93, 95), as well as one under H.W. Bush (91) and one under Reagan (88), substantially reduced the number of extraneous, pork barrel military bases across the US.

The 1988-2001 US defense budget decreases made a lot of hard and politically unpalatable choices that were fiscally responsible.

And since the US budget is ~15% DOD, that addressed a big chunk.

It will be interesting to see how well this method will perform on other type of algorithms.

What you're describing is called 3D stacking, and it works.

It's just extraordinarily complex to resolve the intra-die latency issues, and many others, when going vertical. Hence expensive.
The Dutch made some similar mistakes. A certain number of discounts (amongst them any sort of child-rate fares!) are only available with a personal OV chipkaart, but

a) for a long time a personal card was only obtainable with a Dutch bank account and/or address of residence

b) the only improvement these days is that residents of the countries with a direct border with the Netherlands (i.e. Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany) can get one, too, but it still needs to be ordered in advance. And anybody else is still left out, even though e.g. a resident of Lille (in France) is actually living closer to the Dutch border than a German from Munich.

Another thing is that with the switch from paper tickets to the OV chipkaart they sort of got rid of cross-operator through tickets, which means that

a) e.g. when travelling on the national railway network, you now need to pay attention whether you're also changing train operators when happening to change trains – in that case you must check out and back in again

b) checking out and back in resets reset the distance-based fare price degression, so it's more expensive. I think they continued tweaking some things here, so it's no longer quite as egregious as when originally introduced, but it's still somewhat of a step back compared to real through tickets.

And for anonymous chipkaarts there's a relatively high minimum top-up (technically 20 €, effectively 16 € as you're allowed 4 € of overdraft) required in order to be allowed to travel on the railways at all, which is unattractive for occasional travellers and shortish trips that might otherwise only cost a few euro (in which case a single use ticket might be a better option, as it "only" carries an 1 € surcharge).

I remember Dark having a pretty large mainstream following as it was getting released. I was under the impression that it was funded by Netflix and as such it would be available everywhere that Netflix is available (and by extension assumed Netflix was available everywhere in Europe).

Where in Europe is it not available on Netflix? Or is it the case of Netflix being unavailable?

> There are also other more legit usages of BitTorrent: I use it often to download Linux install images so that the network load is distributed among users and I do not tax excessively the servers.

Yeah, personally I use it to grab Path of Exile updates. The team release a torrent earlier so that people with bad internet connections can grab it early, it works great.

Moore's law applied to transistor density, period. So memory and logic equally.
I really hope there are breakthroughs that allow us to use other, trickier, semiconductors like GaN for chips, IIUC their efficiency could allow us to hit much higher frequencies for the same heat output. That said, I doubt we'd see 3nm processes for something like that.
In my quest for a cool usefull nocode tool I've not found anything that is one solution that fits all. The cool drag and drop frontend solutions are only for internal tools and the api/admin stuff like nocodb is limited on that side. Perhaps I need to find a javascript frontend that connects with nocodb, with drag and drop etc.

> why did a crew of people wade into highly radioactive water -- a probable suicide mission

This is a common myth (probably recently propagated by the scare-mongering TV series), but that mission was perfectly safe. Three men, equipped with dos meters, waded into the water and opened a valve, that was it. One died of a heart attack at 65 and the other 2 are still alive.

Furthermore, the operation was in the end unnecessary: there was no risk of such an explosion.

Nothing about the guess and check strategy implies that you have zero prior information and must guess blindly in an attempt to win the lottery for picking the correct move. Typically, people using guess and check have other principles, rules, or heuristics they use to narrow the search space down to a handful of options.

My original point still stands. A cultural bias against guess-and-check is just another way of saying that strategies which determine an exact sequence of moves using only strict deduction from known theory are the only “acceptable” way to play sudoku. That, to me, is highly limiting and absurd. It’s also inefficient because often you’re faced with a choice between two mutually exclusive options and it’s just plain faster and less error-prone to guess and check than it is to carry out all of the deduction in your head before making the correct move.

In many cases, I want everything to be in focus so I can choose what to look at and enjoy.

At the end of the day all these choices boils down the argument of photographer as artist vs photographer as documenter. The artists goal is to essentially decide what part they want you to focus on and how you should experince the scene so that they can elicit the emotional response they want. The documenter wants to show you as accurately and neutrally as possible what the actual scene looked like when the picture was taken. Which one you prefer is entirely dependant on what you think the purpose of a photograph should be.
>At least they made an effort to support their statement.

I don't think taking a step and claiming you just walked to the hill top counts as "effort".

>I don't see why you should go through the trouble of contradicting it without providing any sources yourself.

You don't see that pointing out the lack of adequate sourcing for a claim does not in itself require a source - because it is not a claim.

You don't see - oh yes.

I had been focused on work through my 20s and had always wanted to write. Shifted gears in my 30s and have developed myself as a writer. It wasn't without cost, of course.

If you want to give more time to developing yourself as a writer or musician or artist, there's time. You can shift gears, you just have to understand the tradeoffs because just like neglecting social life and artistic development led to those parts of yourself being underdeveloped, so will shifting gears in your thirties in regards to your career.

If you don't throw yourself full-bore into those new pursuits, you can still pick them up as hobbies, choose modest projects, and split the difference.

<a little bit of an emotional rant>

I don't know. I used to think that the wisdom of old people was something to aspire to. I come from a place in the world where family ties are very important and we're all very close together, and for the past decade I've been having a lot of trouble with my family's influence on me.

Their insistent advice comes from a good place but belongs to a world that doesn't exist anymore or a world that I don't care for; their advice throughout my life made me less assertive and more submissive in the face of adversity, it ended up having me stay put and not take any chances in life, it ended up destroying a happy 10+ year relationship and just yesterday they started giving me advice again on how I should find a "stupid fat woman" (yes, these are the words) so she can "bare children and not give you headaches".

So, in my 3rd decade on this planet, I have come to fear the advice of old, and to cringe whenever I get these important life lessons. It took a very big toll on me, to shy away from them, and to actually start being myself, and my quality of life improved dramatically, but even now they still push and prod and try to 'advise' me.

I hope I won't end up on my death bed, regretting not following their advice, but for now, I'd rather not regret the present.
Indeed no deaths, but very expensive.

K-19 is an example of a loss of coolant event due to failure of a pipe, resulting in 22 deaths. (Not civilian, but it's an example of the forces at play- civilian reactors have more layers of protection of course).

The point being, it happens.

I too suspect that writing in lambda's native functional style could save a lot of space. Compiling lisp.c from the ELVM repository generates a code much longer than LambdaLisp [1], which empirically shows that well I believe.

As for the pages of PDF, in mathematical terms, since any variable encodes to weight 1, I believe it would be something close to an encoding that degenerates all De Bruijn indices to 1, or in other words, one that only tries to weigh (or gives larger weight to) the complexity of abstraction depths and applications. Since that erases information about the variable I would guess it's not a universal method for weighing lambda sizes.

In this particular case for LambdaVM programs however, since the memory initialization clause nor the instruction clause never increases the maximum De Bruijn index value, I believe both the BLC size and "lambda page size" approximately grows linearly with the number of instructions, so I thought it would serve as an approximately-off-by-a-factor metric for weighing its size.

As for the ELVM lambda calculus back-end, I'll be sending the pull request very soon!

Writing is one of those pursuits/passions that often doesn't really get going until later in life. Author Hilary Mantel, who just passed away at age 70, didn't publish her first novel until her mid 30s. Science Fiction author Gene Wolfe was a plant engineer (helping to design the machine used to make Pringles, incidentally) and later the editor of a technical magazine. He wrote short stories and novellas on the side starting in his 30s but wasn't able to start writing full time until his late 40s or 50s.
This is great, not having to set up Consul or Vault makes an easy deployment process even easier. Upgrades are just as easy, just replace the binary, restart the cluster one node at a time and that's it. Never had any issue with Nomad in production in the past ~ 2 years.
