For regular viewers, the only pieces of functionality I can immediately think of that couldn’t readily be done sans-JavaScript are search autocomplete, annotations, end cards, auto-play (to the next video), and maybe quality selection (I’m fuzzy on what HLS actually lets you do, never actually worked with it).

Even things like voting and commenting are fairly straightforward to do basically, though you could do vastly better with an auto-resizing iframe (https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/555) which would basically allow you to load new content into the document with a click (though it’ll clutter the history and make the back button behave surprisingly, see also https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6501 on that).
I think it'd be one of the least painful places. The scalp is thin, and isn't overly sensitive, think of how professional wrestlers often cut their scalp on purpose. And I don't think the skull has a ton of nerves in the first place.

A relative had brain surgery for a tumor, and if I'm remembering what she said from fifteen years ago correctly she said the anesthesia shot hurt, than the rest was more a relief than anything as the tumor had been applying constant pressure for years.

This is the basic tenet of capitalism - capital owners don’t need to work, the system is designed so they get more money simply by owning money.

IMHO it means both Linux and Windows are obsolete. The MMURTL Operating System specifically opted for no DLL's and static linking of all applications. The operating system ABI is guaranteed to be stable.

This makes upgrading the OS a heck of a lot easier too.

No, GP is right.

My firm has conducted over 50 projects in rural Africa last year, and the cost of living and transportation is most certainly inversely proportional to how developed the area is.

The local options simply aren't available to outsiders.
If it hadn't said his name in the headline, I would have guessed this was about György Schwartz.
In the first minute of the video they claim “98% storage efficiency.” Not sure exactly what that means though.
The worst is when you're performing brain surgery on a brain surgeon. The operating theater can get really crowded.
Strange, I imagine, because you'd have the vibrations and sounds as you describe of the actual cutting, but also the feeling (whatever that's like) of reducing intracranial pressure.
A similar thing was done with a violinist a couple of years ago:

Related research study on the practice: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32505870/

If I ever need brain surgery, I guess they'll probably have me try to respond to JIRA tickets and troubleshoot npm dependency conflicts during the operation.
Depression and anxiety are completely unrelated to the immune system as far as I know.

They are definitely related. Many studies have found links between inflammation and both anxiety and depression. There's even a Wikipedia page about the depression/inflammation link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_and_immune_function
This whole procurement feels like some kind of insider handshake rather than an honest development project. Where was the small scale, highly focused development activity run by some kind of DARPA, DoE, Army Research entity? Was there a wildly successful pilot project with competitive test squads that proved the IVAS equipped teams had better measurable metrics?

It just feels like this fell out of the sky, or some General saw a HoloLens demo and said "I want those on every soldier" and voila.

For those of us old enough to remember, it also sort of smells like those old Cold War era programs where we pumped money into hopeless development programs hoping our adversaries started to do the same, except we knew we could absorb the loss while they couldn't.
I wonder how they managed to win the contract considering it's a disaster so far

On further exploration, attention schema theory does a good job of connecting the dots - with the layers being biology, neurology, psychology (which then hosts the elements of AST that produce the claims/experiences of consciousness)

I read something a while ago, a veteran who said something to the effect of: "all war would end immediately if the perpetrators had to smell it."

I think he had liberated a concentration camp. I wish I had remembered it better.

I think that this informed a lot of the fury towards the ordinary German population, that they could allow something like that to happen, or that they would ever just get used to it and go on with their lives. I'm probably conflating that with a scene from Band of Brothers, or some other written work.
We could give birth to more children and let them die. Those who survive will be stronger. People removed natural selection from the equation with children healthcare. It could be a wrong direction for humanity.

This probably doen't apply to everything, but I did read that the lack of early exposure to peanuts had actually increased the number of individuals who developed peanut allergies.

Margaret Cho has a great comedy bit about how being in a relationship turned her into a "low-priced hooker" (her words): "If you do the dishes, we can have sex."

It's pretty stunning to me how low-priced these political hookers are. $22.5k to end a requirement for AT&T that is surely worth many, many millions? I have a difficult time believing the $23M is more than the annual savings they get from this bill. Companies will just rack this up as the cost of doing business.
I have mixed feelings reading this article. There was no requirement around code refactoring, however multiple solutions were axed because of “how much of our application I was going to need to refactor”. Maybe have that as a hard requirement then and don’t invest time learning tech that doesn’t meet this requirement? Also, was that a joke about the divorce? Either way bad taste and red flag on the personality side for me.
Why is the ambient temperature important? Isn't it about thermal energy? So wouldn't a heat pump just need to be much larger to work up to 1000 degrees or more?

Say, I have a heatpump that heats up water to 100°C at ambient temperature of 10°C. Couldn't I feed that hot water into another heat pump that heats up water to 200°C and so on?
About a decade ago, the internet disagreed, and everything started requiring JS.

Jail time and bans from operating.

This is the only thing that will fix broken America.

Jail time for those involved. and Lifetime bans from operating in the respective spaces. The person doing the bribing should be banned from a mgmt position, the the law maker should be banned from any political office at all levels, the lobby firm should be banned from operating in the US.

As a remote-working parent I've experinced this a lot over the last few years. The highs don't happen so often, but I noticed when they do, I work at a higher pace, but tend to make mistakes.

For me the key has been to notice I was on a high and make sure to double-check the work done.

P.S. I'm sharing helpful resources and insightful thoughts about being a remote-working parent in my weekly newsletter - welcome - https://thursdaydigest.com/

P.P.S. Loved this quote below:

‘‘They also reveal that the level of motivation does not only impact decision-making but also the perception of sensory information, which leads to the decision’’, explains Carl Petersen, Full Professor at the Brain Mind Institute of EPFL and co-senior author in the study.
It young people have more energy and less attachments making it easier for them to “hustle and grind” and move their entire life across the country or even the globe, in order to chase money and talent… which makes for more interesting and visible stories which fuel the perception of young founders as being the best and most successful ones in the business discourse.

As an ageing entrepreneur outside the US bubble… good riddance. Older founders have learned to spot a stupid idea before they waste someone’s money on it, often to the point they can bootstrap a successful business because they know what the heck they are doing with the money and the business domain.
Eventually we will figure out how these chemicals work to combat a disease that is currently not well understood. Great news !
That wasn't really my point. It's clear from the feature-set what people are intended to use the service for.

My point was — without tracking users, how do you ensure quality of service for this system, when someone could just generate 10k distinct SSH keys (= distinct "accounts" in this system) to run their botnet with, and so consume all your resources with purely their traffic? (Where "a botnet" here is just standing in as an example of a use-case that requires as many nodes as possible, rather than being satisfied with just one. Could be a distributed web scraper; could be a crypto-mining pool; etc.)

If you're not requiring some kind of user registration that does enough KYC to deduplicate registration attempts — and you're not tracking usage with fine-enough granularity to be able to surface + ban people who are "taking more than their fair share" — then this isn't going to be of benefit to the entire hacker community, but rather the whole thing is going to be gobbled up by the first person willing to write a script to do so.

It's like making a large donation to a community in a war-torn developing nation, where as soon as you leave, the whole thing gets extracted out into the coffers of the largest local warlord.

IMHO doing this model correctly would necessitate something closer to the "a real person's going to manually verify your sign-up" process of e.g. https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/signup/signup.
I don't know what you (personally) imagine when you say 'medical grade', but surgery (other than robots and keyhole I suppose) is pretty brutal and mechanical. A 'medical-grade drill' is basically whatever's been approved for medical use, not (necessarily, though I don't doubt they exist) something special that isn't also sold for drilling masonry.

That kind of hyperbole isn't useful. If you're deleting node_modules directory every day, you're doing something wrong. Perhaps due to lack of experience. You're claiming 22 years of experience in PHP. So of course that familiar workflow is going to work better for you personally.
I don't think that distinction really matters, twitter dog-piling can arguably be considered an anologous form of political mob violence.
Besides the fact that these are terrible conditions for a population to live under, I'm not sure you realise how gay people can be perceived and persecuted in these countries, for those visiting for the world cup I can imagine a lot of problem scenarios.

A couple might try to stay at a hotel in a room together, but because they are both men it could suddenly become a serious problem. Maybe they aren't even a couple and are two friends trying to get a cheaper room, but they get arrested and have to prove they are not gay.

A couple might want to enjoy dinner together at a restaurant, maybe that becomes a problem.

A couple might have "incriminating" pictures on their phone and be arrested.

How often do people reach out to random people? Don't people get tons of spam?
This seems to be a unique period in history to test the idea with a large sample size.

I'm not sure how this could easily be measured while taking into account every variable, but I'd love to see good studies done over the long-term based on how people are reacting to living with Covid-19.

Due to a high state of fear, a portion of people seem resigned to living the rest of their lives wearing masks/gloves/face shields everywhere in public, very frequently cleaning themselves and their living environments to kill every possible germ, washing their hands more frequently than might be reasonably necessary, avoiding many public interactions, etc. If humans are better off with some reasonable amount of exposure to the normal bacteria in nature, the fearful people might end up with worse off immune systems due to this lack of normal exposure.
The basic argument is that swap can be preferrable to hard eviction for managing disk cache, which can be true, but disk-heavy workloads are less common than ever especially in general-use clusters.

(The other argument is the usual mix of "but it can swap out unused areas" in which case you should fix the program to not allocate a ton of memory it doesn't need; and "but the OOM killer will come" and yes that's the entire point please move my process elsewhere).
The same experience in public healthcare.

> That said, "growing up in the countryside" isn't itself necessary. You just need to grow up with some decent nature within walking distance. Yes, many urban environments have unwisely paved over all their green spaces with parking lots and high rises. But that's not a necessary feature of a city; look for cities that value green spaces, e.g. Pittsburgh's Frick Park/Schenley Park/Hazelwood Greenway triangle provides ample opportunity for getting lost in unmanicured woods.

I can scarcely imagine city parks providing the country upbringing experience of running off into the woods after breakfast and not coming home until dinner, every day of summer until school season started again. Visiting the park for a few hours once or twice a week just isn't the same.

The problem with your assumption is that corrupt politicians are rare and thus valuable, but the low prices indicate a oversupply of corrupt politicians all competing on price.
Twitter holds very little power over Putin, but imagine the twitterati had been supporting Russia from the start, pumping out the Nazi smear, or repeating the "not our war" mantra. Support in the West might have been weaker. You can see it in Germany, where the chancellor was very slow, for fear of his constituents (and in case you need me to spell it out: many see Twitter as indicative of voting trends).

No matter how stupid it is: as long as enough people care about the opinion on twitter, in particular people with power themselves, the twitter crowd has power. Russia understands that too, given their troll army.
The biggest Issue i've seen is eye fatigue from changing focal points between virutal and real items as well as stationary objects locked to the displays.

It's been a while since i've seen some of the tech but the best way i can put it is stare at the center of your tv screen, don't move your head, only move your eyes. That feeling of strain is what is amplified. I think it's going to need to be a more gradual phase in of the tech rather than putting all the info on display they were trying.
And that's why Citizens united should have focused on citizens, not corporations.

Corporations have not votes. Citizens do. A step forward could be to bar corporations from any action in the voting process (their constituent citizens like employees, owners, board etc can do what they wish as citizens, if they're citizens) .
I see it all the time. Tons of sites out there are replacing standard HTML with JS and won't even work without JS.

To save myself some typing, here [1] is an example I used a while back that could be applied to ssh, or https or all ports if one was so daring. Ensure time is taken to watch tcpdump of your own connections so that the MSS range is set to something that allows your traffic. Look for my comment in that thread. Most legit non-vpn traffic will have an MSS of 1460. Most bots in asia have an MSS of 1398. Most in Russia 1424. Some Cisco devices are 1454. Qualys TLS test uses 1380. A majority of bots use masscan to find open ports and masscan does not even bother to set an MSS at all so any range will block them.

Be sure to run the tcpdump example in that thread for a while and open a second terminal to see your own SYN MSS size from both your workstation and from your phone if using a phone to SSH.

Nope. The way it works is FasterTransformer splits the model across the two GPUs and runs both halves in parallel. It periodically has to sync the results from each half, so it will go faster if you have a high-bandwidth link between the GPUs like NVLink, but it will work just fine even if they have to communicate over PCIe peer-to-peer or even communicating via the CPU.
It wasn’t about the headsets; it’s a way for the US govt to subsidize MS so that MS can do things like buy Skype and TikTok.
Back when I was in college, an online algorithm was one where you had to make scheduling decisions as the jobs came in. There would be an optimal schedule (say differing size jobs coming in with n cpus) if you knew the future, and you prove things like "this algorithm can hit that optimal time with 1.x as many CPUs" or "this algorithm is within 1.x of optimal".

This also applies to stuff like swapping / expiring cache - if you knew all of the future disk / memory accesses you could hit optimal, otherwise you need some heuristics.

It's been a couple of decades, but I think some the proofs involved playing the part of an omniscient adversary.
So you've cherry picked the data to fit your narrative. You're simultaneously claiming that the US can somehow safely build the tall and complex structures for a nuclear plant but cannot safely install solar panels on a 2 story building. That doesn't speak to the safety of nuclear. That speaks to different safety regulations on different types of construction sites or something similar. You need to look at causation, not correlation. There is nothing less safe about solar (even if we cherry pick the US) when compared to nuclear once you look at actual causes.
> I sometimes build from source and a tmpfs drive is helpful for that so I’m a little concerned I might not have quite enough RAM.

I used to do this as well, but consider that the VFS cache basically does the same thing. The main difference is that cached data can be dropped or flushed if necessary to free memory, whereas this can't be done automatically with tmpfs.

Benchmark both cases and I'll bet you'd be surprised at how little difference there is.
> Qualcomm has painted Arm as a greedy, capricious bully that's fixated on extracting more and more licensing fees for its designs

It’s the most hypocritical thing for Qualcomm to complain about since they act the same way with cellular modems and the related patents. They charge a percentage of the entire device.
