>As you can tell from the comparison table above, the WSL 2 architecture outperforms WSL 1 in several ways, with the exception of performance across OS file systems, which can be addressed by storing your project files on the same operating system as the tools you are running to work on the project.

So,

It wasn't (surprising). And,

>In other words: WSL 2 is slow.

No. Depends on what you're doing. Kinda gave up the article here.
Market capitalization is objective but isn’t a measure of value but specifically financial value.

Also, Bitcoin doesn’t have a market cap. It’s a currency. No one talks about the U.S. Dollar’s market cap because the whole idea is a nonsensical invention that Cryptocons have used to sell the idea that crypto currencies are investments while still calling themselves currencies to evade regulation.

The fact that the cryptocons have invented market cap as a measure for something they claim is currency is in itself a huge red flag.
> if I lost those keys I'd lose all my messages?

Not neccessarily, that just happens with bad implementations (i.e. most of them, sigh).

If you get a confidential letter in the physicsl world, you open it, read it, and then store it in a safe,.or a locked drawer, correct?

The software world chose to "re-seal" the letter in its envelope again instead. So if you loose your key, you loose access to the letter. The proper way to implement this would be to store the decrypted contents in the software equivalent of a lockable drawer, e.g. an encryped disk, folder or whatever. Which could (and should) have sensible fallbacks to retrieve its content.
Yes, without question being able to raise a family is a need for a functional society. Longterm living mobile in a van is not viable for anyone except the most fringe members of society.

How do you avoid NIMBYism without the government intervening? Communities tend to self-segregate and self-police unless there's a higher power that doesn't allow it.
Are there any advantages of running Pop_Os instead of Ubuntu? I have an X1 Carbon Gen 9 and have had zero issues with 20.04 and latest upgrading to 22.04.
Market cap is meaningless bullshit.

I mint a billion tokens, sell one to a friend for a buck, I suddenly have a billion dollar market cap.
I mean, we do almost the exact same thing with most celestial objects (ex., HUDF-JD2 aka UDF 033238.7 -274839.8 aka BBG 3179) - but the difference is they don't _do_ anything. I'm never going to write a "program" with planets, but I am interested in writing "programs" using genes. I know it's not a 1-1 example, but you know what I'm getting at.
Plenty of American tourists standing on roads ;)
Assume? I would never assume, especially about motivations. Princeton might be a prestigious university, but the simulation was done by humans. I wouldn't assume anything other than human fallibility.
Maybe I'm jaded being around graphics for too long, but every few years we have a bit of an advancement and proclamations of "wow, this looks real!". Probably since early 90's. Only theb, a couple of years down the road, same material suddenly looks funky compared to new material.
Still I hate that games like call of duty are expensive, are somewhat decent
but short as fuck.

Just playing it randomly, without some tryharding you can complete it in something like less than 10 hours, it sucks.
I’m lucky to have lovely, smart person in my life who lives with MS. Thank you for sharing you story. You are by no means alone in this and your concerns are shared by many others who live with MS. I will send you an email shortly, but for others with similar stories that read this in the future, I high recommend the local groups from the MS Society (https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Resources-Support/Find-Sup...), reaching out to a team member at the Elliot Lewis Center (https://elliotlewisms.com/multiple-sclerosis-care-team/) even if you aren’t a patient along with following their materials on social media which provide Q&A on the latest case information and especially critical during the pandemic when information on MS-specific was limited/unknown, ensuring you are on a best-in-class treatment that meets your needs (which for many people in the US will be Ocrevus, https://www.ocrevus.com/), given the level of impairment you may qualify for state and federal programs in the US so call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Living-Well-With-MS/Work-a...) to ensure you know what you need to do to ensure you are always supported financially in your journey, and if you are still physically active, I’d also suggest the free trips for MS patients with First Descents (https://firstdescents.org/programs/programs-application/).

There are a lot of resources in the US, but it’s hard to do it all alone. Unless you know someone who has been through it, it’s hard to navigate so try to get an MS Navigator assigned from the MS Society as well, which is completely free. You can call M-F 9am-7pm ET at 1-800-344-4867.

I hope this helps others living with MS.
Which of the mentioned use cases do you like? Financial speculation, evading capital controls, buying illegal drugs?

Which use cases that you like were not mentioned?

Why don’t you actually mention what the equivalent of Google in the crypto world is/could be?

The inability of cryptocons to speak in specifics is another major red flag.
you pitching that "market cap" proves bitcoins value is a narrative..

You can make the case that everything is a "proxy" for whatever you like.

"Facebooks market cap is a proxy for ... which is a measure of ..."

If market cap is critical, when bitcoin has a major "correction" and the market cap drastically falls, what does this indicate?
I think this response is a good illustration of the frustration that I (and I suspect many others) have with Clojure. I’m speaking as someone who’s been excited by it since around 2012, has helped run Clojure meetups, and has tried many times to advocate for its usage.

I really _really_ want to love Clojure but the first three points (unfortunately along with the Lisp syntax simply because it’s different enough) alienate too many people from the language and it seems like that’s something that Clojure has at best accepted as not the target audience and at worst is still unwilling to acknowledge.

Yes. Australian federal police arrested Matthew Flannery aka Aush0k in 2013 claiming that he was the "leader of lulzsec". They even held a big press conference about this, but in reality Flannery had been framed and never held any ties to lulzsec.

This happened because a bunch of people had been defacing Australian government websites with messages from "Aush0k, the leader of lulzsec" in order to mess with him.

Those mean hackers even defaced MIT.edu with his name (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5098218)

Flannery was later found guilty of some computer crimes, but not the ones for which he was initially jailed.

I've mentioned this to a number of people, one thing I've noticed - most people really don't understand compound interest and exponentials well.
I bought a pricy 1999 PowerBook G3 to run Linux, and it was an excellent little computer. At the time there wasn't much out there with the same build quality. 1024x768 display, built-in Ethernet, and a SCSI port! I mapped a couple of Mac-special keys near the touch pad to mouse2 and mouse3 and it was perfectly usable with X11.

Used it for 5 or more years before switching to a ThinkPad.

Happy birthday,

most of my projects these days in clojure/script, including

- an (admittedly tiny) BI tool clone (think metabase / PowerBI)

- a search engine for private charter flights

- a live trading bot for cryptocurrencies (it's only breaking even though)

Altogether 17k lines of code. What else is there to say?
In countries like the US where a sizeable part of the population depends on advanced medical care for survival the initial deaths are but a start. I would expect the DOW and Dupont facilities that produce the precursors to keep us alive would be ashes in the first few minutes.
Well because that galaxy in that position might be a low probability event - not many universes have that galaxy at that position. So therefore that galaxy appears to have less dark matter.
This is assuming it's easy to find a new job, I don't think it's all that easy right now.
Thank you. I have been experimenting and evolving with diets since shortly after diagnosis. The first year I was symptomatic but it went away pretty dramatically after starting Paleo, I believe because general inflammation went down.

I'm also pretty sure that I'm doing so badly because of the stress I've experienced during the pandemic, really at a level I couldn't imagine, and, having forgotten I have MS, I didn't do nearly enough to counter it and instead used coffee and dairy, two things known to be avoided with MS (by some patients at least, doctors IME don't even mention it).

I would do anything and sacrifice anything if it could remedy the current issue, but it seems it's more related to some longer-term evolution that doesn't respond to these things... We'll see. I've only quit coffee about 2 weeks ago when I definitely noticed my legs going numb after running wasn't because or overexertion... And then I made the connection with my cognitive issues.
Yes and no.

In terms of the function, yes. I have 2 PCWs and had another when they were new. I really like them.

But the PCW was a clever application of old technology, using some then-fairly-recent but far from state-of-the-art tech to enhance some obsolete tech to make a minimum viable tool.

It was a beefed-up CP/M machine, with a big RAMdisk, a hires graphics display, and a (very good) word processor as the primary app. The best word processor on any 8-bit ever, IMHO.

But it was a lot more flexible and extensible than any of the other (many!) competing dedicated word processors of the time, because it had a big screen (using an old-tech CRT instead of a tiny grey LCD), and lots of storage for its obsolete OS, and a proper OS and so on.

(All things that Amstrad failed to include in the PCW 10 and PCW 16, and so they flopped.)

It was inspired to realise that rather than a crappy LCD, you could include a really good mono CRT. Rather than a crappy 16-bit chip, a really good 8-bit one. Rather than a crappy old disk, a much tougher but obscure new one, and make money on the media. Rather than a printer port and driver hell, a dedicated printer mechanism with no brains. Integrate it all so there isn't even a ROM.

The Canon Cat was an inspired attempt to reinvent computing by getting away from the poor minicomputer-inspired UI conventions of 8-bit computers, by taking the basic hardware design and reinventing the entire software stack and UI from the ground up, using no existing tech other than a super-lightweight programming language. No OS, no apps, no concept of them. Barely even legacy minicomputer concepts like "files", and no "binaries" or "executables" or "programs" or "drive letters" of any of that 1960s/1970s historical baggage.

It was a profoundly different take on the same core function. Any technological resemblance is almost a coincidence.
I think the problem here is that you cause breakage without ever gaining the knowledge of why. Pop_Os might break on you just the same as other distros might, because it's very likely a manual operation that got you there.

"Miraculous" belongs on Windows or OSX, not Linux.
Just because something is the only objective measure doesn’t mean it’s a good measure.

The only objective measure of HN comments I have is the length of those comments.

Does that mean I should be basing how good a comment is only on how long it is?
Migrate? I would only call it that if they 1) got an account there, 2) copied over their tweet history and subscribers, and 3) deleted their Twitter account. Did they?

I guess all they did is step 1, which means they went there to see how the world looks from there. You don’t call visiting a house you consider buying ‘moving’, either.
I've been using this program for a while (and it's GTK alternative Helvum), and it's quickly become one of my favorite tools. I picked up an inexpensive USB capture card, and the ability to simple pipe the audio stream into any sink I wish, such as headphones, speakers, OBS, etc. Is such a simple solution compared to struggling with audio settings trying to get the right combination. It's also probably the simplest solution to getting audio sharing in Discord, since they continue to not support it in Linux, even if the solution is still a bit of a hack.
> - No people actually riding bikes.

This is a common trope in media where nobody in the production uses a bike for transport. There are bikes there for setting, but people never use them as intended. They either just stand around them, or do this weird thing where they take their bikes out for a walk.
I agree. This game is in the cerebral palsy category of character animation (e.g. the NPC tourists on the canal's other side).

GTA 3/4/5 are in the megalotesticle category (characters moving like wavering boats).
I'm glad they sorted it out, but I wish there was a proper support route other than "create a sufficient media storm so that an employee tweets the CEO"
Most experts seems to think that interception is basically impossible to do reliably with current technology, even before you get into the question of countermeasures, and that with the sheer quantity of warheads, it's basically a given that a large majority would land.

Whether the entire six thousand or so warheads would explode, or the one-and-a-half thousand deployed missiles would actually reach their targets is anyone's guess.

However, bearing in mind that even one nuclear explosion is capable of killing about a million people, if detonated in an urban center, it really just takes a comparative handful of working weapons, say 1-2%, to kill as many people outright, in the initial explosions, as the number that died in the whole of WW2[0].

[0]: 1-2% of 6000 = 60-120, 60 to 120 * 1million = 60 to 120 million, around the same ballpark as deaths in WW2. That's obviously just the initial direct deaths, there would obviously be many more (an order of magnitude, at least) from follow-on effects. And this is ridiculously low-balling the estimate for how many of the warheads would be delivered to target: a more realistic estimate would be like, 90%.

It really is not.

> You tax the shit out of non-primary...

Many locations already do this, though I guess it could be increased. Where I live now, non-owner occupied housing pays 4-5x more in property taxes. It most likely get passed on to renters.

It also has a weird effect in a nearby, very expensive neighborhood where most of the houses are vacation homes. Since locally, a total property tax number is decided and then split among houses, anyone actually living in the very expensive neighborhood is subsidized by second homes and pays some of the lowest property taxes around.
Yes, there are a few specs where I wish they were faster in implementing them.
I've read somewhere that long Covid presents with demyelination just like MS... I so much forgotten about having MS that at times I wondered if I didn't get covid unknowingly, because they symptoms some people described were so similar to what I'm feeling.

It's interesting we can create amazing graphics like this, but at the same time we can't model humans walking naturally. It looks quite realistic if you take out the humans.
I’ve been in computer graphics 30 years. This satisfies me. If the young generation wants to take it further, more power to you as well. Maybe the uncanny valley is even bridge-able in my lifetime.

PCVR support when?
Wat.

Metaverse is web3. Metaverse is also VR. Its not a strawman if there's a big, well known example that markets itself as an example of the thing being criticised.

What isn't web3 is the absence of a counterexample.
This amazement is not one I share. Yes, it appears more polished than GTA type graphics. In particular, the NPC movements. To describe it as "incredibly realistic" is a stretch.
Yes, notwithstanding those factors you described, it is not uncommon for tests to reveal false-negative or false-positive results due to their intrinsic specificity and sensitivity. A normal value is not always indicative of health, either.

Said every developer who has ever applied floats where scaled integers would be just as effective.

I attribute this to pocket calculators which have shaped most people's thinking.

I've even had developers try to tell me it can't be done any other way --- until I show them.

All that said, if floats are needed to interface with other software, you may not have much choice in the matter.
If the attempt to frame someone succeeded, by definition you won't hear abut it as "someone being framed".
The usage of locally forbidden material in online gaming, to insta ban opponents or as a form of protest is a well known trivial hack.
Some games allow to spray an image file to a wall, the picture is downloaded by all players. Locally enforced censorship then causes disconnects and even legal repurcussians to some gamers.

In some countries you are strongly obligated to make contact with illegal images know to the authorities. Failing to do so is punishable.

Such an attack is as trivial, as annomously sending illegal material to the target, depending on the country. There are thousand of cases of minors sending nudes and causing legal investigations. You find articles of parents sending pictures to doctors and being banned from online services, which are known.

Other social attacks, such as giving out free USB sticks with incriminating material are thinkable. Allthoug I am not aware of this being proven to have happened, one can find cases where people used this as a defense.

People providing free uncensored internet by running a Tor node are known to have lots of legal troubles because of it, with different severity depending on the country. Even making it to no flight lists.

Illegal pictures might not be viewed by the public. A government could just claim they found them on your device and may have a way to exclude them to be viewn by anyone. So an individual may have to start a defense from the fact that illegal material has been found on a device, without a chance to ever see the image. Again depending on the country and legal system, there might not even be a need for those illegal pictures to actually exist. Here a document from a governmental entity suffices.
> I think you suffer from overpedantry and you are confusing electrical signal with just signal.

Tu quoque, ad hominem, and equivocation. "Signal" has multiple distinct meanings. You are conflating homonyms in equivocation, as well as attacking me personally while arguing, "you too!" Not all signal, by the definition you're conflating, is sound (such as semaphore, gesture, facial expression and even pheromonal response), and by the same vague definition, not all sound is signal (such as Berkeley's tree falling), not unless it is communication.

Context and semantics matter here. If we define sound as signal and vice versa, then there is no literal distinction between acoustic sound and analog signal, creating ambiguity and confusion. In the context of audio and sound, and from your own citation:

> in an analog audio signal, the instantaneous voltage of the signal varies continuously with the sound pressure... The term analog signal usually refers to electrical signals

A sound is also a a long, wide body of water that connects two other bodies of water, but it would be absurd and equivocating identical words of different meanings to claim that acoustic sound is also a body of water.
I am - I'm a shareholder in blackstone, which among other things is the owner of Stuyvesant town, a 10k+ apartment complex in NYC that is entirely rent stabilized. Presumably the people at blackstone are savvy investors who wouldn't buy an asset like that if they couldn't make money off of it.
It’s addressing the global hate problem. Just in the contrary (?) direction to what we’d [hopefully] like.
I understand that for you I am “a random someone went somewhere”. So from your point of view it might make sense that talking about things that “can happen anywhere” makes some sense.

What you need to understand is that for me I am not just “someone who went somewhere”. This was something that really happened to me personally and it was extremely uncomfortable and I’d rather not delve on the details. That is why a statistic-based argument makes no sense to me. I will never use Airbnb, ever again, because it left me both physically and mentally scarred. It’s not an abstract ethereous thing for me.
The underlying API that the application talks to would be one thing.
This is actually quite normal. Merely taking notes helps you remember things, so some people take notes simply to help them think through and remember things without ever having any intention of going back to those notes later. Simply the act of taking the notes is the means to the end.
This seems like a non-sequitur?
