> What typical use-cases do these particular features have?

For the io logs: auditing. And in some cases such logs are necessary for compliance reasons.

For wildcards: allowing to run a command, but only if they supply a specific option that makes it less dangerous. Now, you do have to be very careful when doing that, but there are cases where it is useful and explicitly listing every variation of options that is allowed isn't practical.

I also forgot to mention sudoedit. Although, making something similar for doas would be pretty simple, so I'm kind of surprised there isn't something.
Very good. We wouldn't want to go an election without the assistance of a Ministry of Truth.

Usenet was technically decentralized, but in practice anchored on educational institutions that gave it a high degree of continuity.

As with just about everything in this weird culture clash thread: YMMV.

What would your family do when presented with an uncut 16oz steak or chop?

It’s easy to eat food with chopsticks when the culture is designed around it. It’s easy to eat with a fork when the culture is designed around it.
What do you mean by "eating Intel's lunch"?
As OP said, Intel profits dwarf AMD revenue.

So I'm not sure what you mean? Can you show numbers that would support "eating one's lunch"?

Although you did say to ignore financials, so which makes the analogy meaningless.
The CEO is still the chief executive. Share voting rights do not control day to day business decisions or even strategy.
That a review is fake is my default position when researching. Review needs to be critical of the product or service in substantial ways, otherwise there is a high bar.
Beastie Boys was a hardcore band before all the songs you mentioned, the fourth member is the drummer of Luscious Jackson. Or before they became a rap group.

Edit: Beastie Boys as a hardcore band pre-dates RATM's or Zach's Inside Out. I think the GP is correct.

I recognize those numbers and suspect he's talking about the Netherlands. If so, he/she is being incredibly inaccurate in describing benefits.

If you're on a permanent contract, there's a minimum legal notice that depends on years served and your age. So it's not "6 months", it's a variable amount of months. It may be as little as 0.5-2 months if you've worked there for < 5 years. If you're not on a permanent contract, the notice is: BYE.

As for "75% for 2 years", that's not the employer paying you, it's the state. Unemployment benefits. Where both "75%" and "2 years" are lacking some crucial details. It's max 75% of a fixed cap. So if you're a high earner, you might only get 25-50% of your previous salary. Further, you'll be intensely pressurized to find that new job, where you need to supply weekly evidence of job interviews. You can't just take a holiday for 2 years. By the way, you paid for the above yourself, directly from your payslip.

As for "50% indefinitely", this is state wellfare. Which is absolute hell. You don't easily qualify for it and you're even more pressurized to find a job, any job. You'll be closely monitored and you can't own anything of any worth. So if you were a highroller owning assets before, get ready to be stripped naked. Next, you'll have the social stigma of being a leech. Have this on your resume, and its goodbye career.

I'm honestly pissed about the inaccuracy of the poster.
It's fighting pursuit pursuit of benefits that negatively impact the global economy.

Nothing directly about monopolistic behavior here, though true monopolies end up harming global economy in their pursuit of benefits. Which is why they are regularly broken up, or merge prohibited I suppose.

This would have been a good time for Xi to reiterate that if he meant it. But this article suggests that it's a mistranslation:

It does seem unlikely that China would be making such pledges. "Corresponding security guarantees" does sound rife with opportunities to misunderstand.

You know the practice of giving incentives for reviews was banned years ago by Amazon?

You can argue it was real but can still be used to skew the results. People are more likely to give good reviews plus review sooner before it breaks or they discover something wrong with it.

I've observed the same with Matrix and Discord. It reduces noise to the point that while "fuck off" would call for moderation in a lot of contexts, reacting with the middle finger emoji usually doesn't even though it has the same meaning.
Does this news story strike anyone else as native advertising, i.e. a product placement disguised as news? As always, it's hard to discern between the two, since the lines are blurred.

Still, there isn't a lot of novelty to this article-- no new technology, no real changes besides a slightly bolstered build for outdoor travel. The article just describes a new Ford vehicle and tells you the price and when it's available. How is this newsworthy?

Right: I have no idea just what that is!

Generally I like the NIH, but I would not be the least bit worried about the increased probability of cancer in actual, real life from an NIH study of common smoke from a fire used to cook some food or heat a house.

(1) That study would be too tough to do with much accuracy, e.g., too difficult to get good data.

(2) Maybe they got some smoke, let it condense, painted it on the skin of some mice, and checked for early signs of cancer. Gee, if I become a mouse, then I will be careful not to paint smoke goo on my bare skin and leave it there for weeks.

(3) Maybe they analyzed some of the chemicals in some smoke, just in a little glass dish in their lab tested the chemicals for being mutagenic, and then made the leap that this means carcinogenic.

I just noticed at Google that the WHO (World Health Organization) believes that "processed meats" are carcinogenic -- guess I should not put pepperoni sausage on my pizza and should throw away my hot dogs and my Italian sausage. Gee, what about BBQ cooked in a smoker? What about the old practice of preserving fresh meat in a "smoke house" -- assume the meat is sterile on the inside and with the smoke make it also sterile on the outside. If not smoke, then salt.

You don't really believe that NIH stuff??
It has always intrigued me how close the riff in 'Killing in the name' is to the one in 'Man of constant sorrow'.

Increased dollars were two factors I mentioned in my comment, yes, and the primer will discuss other factors you have missed that I did not discuss that aren't more dollars chasing the same stock of goods. Good luck out there.

Federation is great for people who want to occupy or set up curated niches, but an uninteresting thicket for those who do not. I'm pretty sure I said the same thing about this ~5 years ago when I first tried Mastodon.
Even if the key is cheap, that it isn't in cache means that vector will be faster just because we avoid the cache miss of loading the value into memory.
If by "spray pattern" you mean bursts of three shots, sure. But this thing is not playing like a pro in any respect.
no we were talking about the 'cash' they hold. I dont get why you're bringing such tangential things into the discussion. what guarantees the value of USD is (a) its current adoption and (b) the fact the US stands behind it and will police and secure its usage. how is that different from a proof of work, asic resistant cryptocurrency?

Full stack startups seems to be a way to rephrase vertical integration and the monopolizing effect it can have on the market.
Yeah, I guess they couldn’t figure out how to monetize it. Everyone was there for the warez and probably pr0n in many cases. But the communities were really great. But it took Facebook to figure out how to centralize that.

Cheering for Godot, but GDScript isn't fun compared to C# and C# support simply isn't as good.

I desperately need static type checking on my bigger projects, and GDScript doesn't have it.

You also have a strange split in resources, most tutorials are in GDScript, some in C#.

So .net fans like myself feel much more comfortable in Unity. I've published a few projects using Unity. Nothing popular, but available on various platforms.

I was hopeful for Open 3D Engine, but Lua has the same issues as GDScript. They have visual scripting, but I really prefer to code!
> Resizing a vector brings the whole of it into cache

I don’t do low level code on modern systems; is there not a way to just blit chunks of memory around without a CPU looping it’s way through word by word carrying out MOVQ instructions which do a full RAM read/write?

If you’re streaming data out of memory to a PCIe bus or something, that wouldn’t go via cpu cache, right? There’s some kind of DMA model, so there’s something in the system architecture that allows memory access to be done off-CPU (I vaguely think of this as being what the northbridge was for in the old school x86 architecture but I’m fuzzy on the details?).

Mechanical copying of byte arrays feels like something a CPU should be able to outsource (precisely because you don’t want to pollute your cache with that data)
> They would be putting their finger on the scale to censor speech critical of Twitter

That's an entirely different issue. The issue at hand here is Twitter removing Twitter internal confidential material that Twitter employees agreed to not publish as a condition of employment.

This is contract law, not free speech law.

You can apply it arbitrarily to technically correct tweets that you do not like.
While I like the idea that a company has a duty to the wider marketplace, the construction using diversified portfolios is more creative than convincing. Problem is, that we can easily construct portfolios that react in a specific way to actions. In the example with promotion of mental health issues we may wonder how the bottom line of clinics of chocolate manufacturers is impacted by trying to avoid mental health issues.
simple vector implementations will do a full realloc and recopy when you run out of space. so O(1) amortized but O(N) every so often.

another implementation strategy, at the cost of using some extra memory, is to allocate the new space, but only copy over a bit at a time, each time a new element is added -- so every add is still O(1). no long pauses.

(well, assuming the memory alloc is still fast. which i think it should be in practice? tho i'm not super familiar w/ that stuff.)

just curious, do you think that solution would have worked for your situation too?
I'd prefer for the porn tube sites to have regular companies advertising on them. The current quality of ads on those platforms is terrible
You're mistaking the end-user's copyright infringement with Copilot's alleged infringement.

Copilot is fair use and transformative -- that is unless there is an open source Copilot that Copilot is training on, only then would it be competing and it's easy for GitHub or OpenAI to exclude those repos of copilot alternatives from the training set.
Details about internal tools and structure that only someone on the inside would have knowledge about. I'm not saying they aren't known already but it is a slippery slope when you decide to share information about your employer publicly... Here probably not enough in itself but if I recall there was some other things that led up to the firing.
I don't think there are any plans to make this a pop-up. But it's still useful to move this entropy to be something that has to be actively collected: people can see which sites are collecting what information, and eventually browsers can start enforcing something like privacy budgets (https://github.com/mikewest/privacy-budget). You can't do these with something always sent automatically.
It might not be one thousand years. It will probably be more than 100 years. Of course, 100 vs 1000 is an unverifiable dichotomy.

But hear me out.

A sunshade big enough to make a difference for Venus would be of the order of 1 billion tons (why? I'm using the sunshield of James Webb, which is about 25 microns thick, and is made of a material called Kepton, which has a density similar to plastic; the rest is just multiplications).

Moving a billion tons in space is not easy, thanks to the tyranny of the rocket equation.

But if you are at the technological level of building a planet side sunshade, then you can probably build a parabolic mirror (made of the same mylar-like material like JWST's sunshield) []6781

I don't see why. The biggest news story you can find about Bezos being involved in the Post is when he personally delivered a birthday president to the executive editor when he turned 65.

Meanwhile, the Columbia Review of Journalism (a well-respected academic source) reported in 2021 that the Post is uninfluenced by Bezos. They point out the many negative articles about Amazon and otherwise against Bezos's interests.

Did you RTFA? Roth was directly quoted by the post.

> In October 2020, ahead of the U.S. presidential election, the team added context to all trends that could be found in Twitter’s prime real estate — its “For you” and “What’s happening” boxes — on its app and website. As recently as two weeks ago, Twitter was touting the team’s debunking efforts as a key aspect of its approach to the 2022 midterms.

> But on Friday, multiple Twitter employees told The Washington Post the entire team appeared to have been cut amid Musk’s layoffs.

It's hard to know where exactly the cuts were made inside of the trust and safety org, and even how twitter is laid out internally to know whether (or how) if trust and safety intersects with departments paying attention to information ops.

anecdotally, i've seen at least a few people working in those areas laid off.

Gotcha.

Who you consider best is very different if you are a gamer that wants 120 fps, or an investor that wants $$$.

But you can't you speak for all consumers and people on this site: I could care less about performance because even bottom end CPUs are enough for my needs. In fact, as a stockholder, Intel matters more.

I'm old enough to remember when AMD was an actual threat to Intel in the PC space but had inferior performance compared to Intel, but AMD was far cheaper and getting design wins (for a brief period in the 1990's before Intel's mega-deal with Dell and anti-competitive wrangling).

I don't have a horse in this race, I just enjoy seeing factions fight over "who's best", and how the arguments change over time.

I've never seen a PC without a UEFI boot menu. That's why I've assumed that this is universal.

Who builds PCs without that feature?

Edit: I've had a look at the spec. Indeed a boot menu isn't mandatory (except when it is, for network boot options, see `PXE_BOOT_MENU`).

> UEFI specifies only the NVRAM variables used in selecting boot options. UEFI leaves the implementation of the menu system as value added implementation space.

But it seems to be common to implement this, as the spec also says:

> If the boot via Boot#### returns with a status of EFI_SUCCESS, platform firmware supports boot manager menu, and if firmware is configured to boot in an interactive mode, the boot manager will stop processing the BootOrder variable and present a boot manager menu to the user.

There are at least a dozen more references to a boot menu in the spec.

Also +1 to the other folks mentioning people with disabilities/arthritis. My dad was in a rehab home for a bit and there were a lot of people who had to have their food served precut.
Technically the pointers don’t have to be actual pointers. And if they’re not actually pointers, then Rust’s ownership model and borrow checker will be perfectly content; they’ll barely trouble you at all. And you won’t even need any unsafe blocks.

What you do instead is use integers instead of pointers. The integers are indexes into a Vec of list nodes, owned by the linked list. Since the nodes are now owned only by the Vec, which is in turn owned only by the linked list, the borrow checker will not complain.

Some people object that this is cheating somehow, but what is memory but a giant untyped global vector, shared between all parts of your application? Pointers into that giant shared array are just indexes with extra risk, since you have to trust that they point to real nodes that have been initialized. Plus, you often see users of a linked list put the nodes into an arena allocator anyway, especially in the kernel. The Vec in your Rust implementation serves the same purpose as the arena allocator.
> I don't think a sitting US President is afforded the luxury of a personal life while in office

It's not his personal life I'm thinking about, it's his political life. He's the top elected official, and the top representative of a political party. His political speech shouldn't be played around with, even if we can somehow rationalize political censorship for everyone else.

I think that's different than an official White House account, though, because the actual government belongs to us. In his function as head administrator of the Executive Branch, he's an employee. In his function as the winner of a presidential election, however, he's the anointed representative for a majority of US voters (more or less, because of our antiquated system), and silencing him is antidemocratic.
He is not. He is a parody of himself. Screaming delusional maniac.
Nothing in the comment implies doxxing. The point was clearly about the unaccountability of the moderation crew.

And if you really need it you can even do both tree and vector simultaneously - just make sure both consist of pointers only so you avoid update/sync issues.
Copying even a single code segment literally will have you lose a fair use trial. Look at Google taking 10k+ lines verbatim and winning the case.
