When I was young, I played Counter Strike pretty competitive and getting the most fps out of my system was really important. I always thought there would be a gaming ready OS. Not sure why it took so long.

I always kept optimising my Windows.. disable auto updates, disable heartbleed, disable indexing, etc. I tried to find the source of every microstutter or fps drop.

I am not sure when the shift happened, but it seems gamers don't value performance anymore like they did in the zero's and nineties.

I actually love this build and will try it out. Even if it only gives me 4 fps more, it's a win.
> the initial premise, which is nonsense.

The initial premise is: "HTML is a strategic dead end _for business transactions and e-commerce_". That premise is absolutely spot-on.
I don't get the outrage. Normally, these features would just be fused off during the CPU binning phase. Even working areas of the chip are fused off for market segmentation. If you have a 4 core chip, it's probably a 6 or 8 core internally.

All this seems to do is make the fused off area, that was previously unusable, now usable. For the average consumer, it doesn't change anything. But now a business can purchase a CPU that doesn't support, say, AVX-512, and enable it on-demand when they need it. Is there a reason we should be more upset about this than the CPU binning that's been happening for decades?

Side-note: Intel's market segmentation on ECC memory is, however, garbage.
The glucose reponse depends on your ability to process the carbs.

My take is that carbs are good for fueling performance but I've also had the experience of losing significant weight with a high-protein diet and putting on muscle mass. I schedule exercise around my ability to digest: on a totally empty stomach I can do very little, but a full stomach demands energy to digest and can lead to vomiting, fainting, etc.

I would like to practice intermittent fasting but what I find when I don't eat at all in the evening is that I can lay in bed all night and not sleep a wink.
Thanks for the info, this is a great project!
The big chip (ICY) is the custom rasterizer ASIC. Basically a very primitive GPU, maybe the first? I don't know the internals (I'm told they're floating around) but I know what it does.

Yes that chip has a different clock, as its writing pixels to the frame buffer. The monitor always displays the other buffer not being written to, so the rasterizer does not need to be sync'd to the monitor pixel clock (which has overscan areas etc.), therefore the rasterizer can fill pixels at a different speed. My guess is that they couldn't run the ICY faster than the 5MHz, because I'm sure they wanted to run it as fast as possible!

Essentially the chip takes the display list, which is a bunch of instructions for DOTs / VECTORs / POLYGONs, and draws them to the frame buffer pixel by pixel. Starts at the top of the display list (address zero), goes instruction by instruction filling pixels until list end is reached. Note the START and HALT signals coming from the main 6809 CPU telling the chip there is work to do. When you "HIT A BLACK HOLE" everything is halted and the CPU tries to recover things.

Commands generally look like this (this is a major oversimplification so don't take this as 1:1 with the real hardware)

CMD_TYPE COLOR XLEFT XRIGHT YTOP SLOPELEFT SLOPERIGHT NUMSCANLINES

Where CMD_TYPE is [dot/vector/polygon], COLOR is the palette index, and coordinates are in 16-bit with fixed precision slopes.

The chip fills pixels from left poly edge to right edge, when it reaches the end it adjusts the left/right edges and adds 1 to the scanline, eventually stopping when all scanlines are drawn.

As I said I know the internals are floating around, and I know of at least 1 project attempting to duplicate the ICY on a daughterboard. ICYs are 40 years old and are starting to die and there is no replacement.

This is not a logical statement. A person can, of course, absolutely call out the crimes of Russia and China, while also calling out the crimes of people in their own country. You are fabricating a moral restriction without basis.

I've always been suspicious of people who enjoy the tech. You should enjoy solving a business/customer/user need. That never goes away. But tech is just a boring slog.
I used to think this as well. BUT, revealing _any_ information to attacker is a security problem.

Take this scenario: Someone might not want their employer knowing they (legally) gamble online. The employer could simply browse to popular online gambling sites and probe the service with their email or username to see if an account exists.

Crawling is more difficult than walking though. Why isn't it valuable to build skill as a crawler?

I'm not suggesting you should buy lots of expensive power tools instead of a cheap saw. I'm saying that having to work with a cheap saw is just worse in every way, there's no spiritual insight to be gained, it's just a worse tool you are using because you prefer not to to or can't obtain a better tool. The fact that people fetishize it doesn't make it any different than digging the hole for a pool with a shovel instead of a backhoe, or moving a couch by yourself instead of with a friend. The swimming pool isn't a better pool in the end, and the couch doesn't transform into some kind of special couch.

What bubble do you live in? There are a lot of games that don't work well in Linux in addition to a lot of other issues with using Linux for gaming in general.

For instance: VR on Linux is still a shit show, with only one company kinda supporting it and not doing a very good job of it at that.
Also, food for thought: this means that any effective legal solutions to these problems in the hardware world could probably also be applied to solve those same problems in the software world.

The "right to repair" movement, for example, seems on the surface to be closely analogous to freedom 1 of the Free Software Foundation's four essential freedoms[1].

As a bright-eyed science undergraduate, I went to my first conference thinking how amazing it would be to have all these accomplished and intelligent people in my field all coming together to share their knowledge and make the world a better place.

And my expectations were exceeded by the first speaker. I couldn't wait for 3 full days of this! Then the second speaker got up, and spent his entire presentation telling why the first person was an idiot and totally wrong and his research was garbage because his was better. That's how I found out my field of study was broken into two warring factions, who spent the rest of the conference arguing with each other.

I left the conference somewhat disillusioned, having learned the important life lesson that just because you're a scientist doesn't mean you aren't also a human, with all the lovely human characteristics that entails. And compared to this fellow, the amount of money and fame at stake in my tiny field was miniscule. I can only imagine the kinds of egos you see at play among the scientists in this article.
Hunger is not poverty, hunger is hunger. Even wealthy people can be hungry.
While I understand you're using "toxicity" here as a proxy, the implication is that if it were nicer you would have more easily believed it's output.

Is that really where we want things to be? Because I strongly suspect it's a lot easier for them to make it nicer than it is for them to make the output good.
What do users usually do after registering an account? They try to login with it (assuming they aren't automatically logged in after registration which is what I would generally prefer / expect as a user).

You are giving the user so many chances to just say "forget this" and move on to a different website. Especially if they are on mobile, registering for services is a huge pain in the butt.

My basic point is you are severely impairing the UX to prevent what I think is an extremely minor and generally irrelevant piece of information leakage.
Those files are backed up other safe places as added redundancy. Those files aren't visible from the public_html folder of my website. Please have faith that I know what I'm doing.

It could probably benefit from an indicator that there's still work to be done. I thought I was done, but noticed a comment from someone else that they got confetti.
Well sure, but that's because there's little demand for fast ecc memory by the gaming crowd due to the aforementioned market segmentation. There's no substantial limitation on ddr speed due to ECC itself.
> That's just factually incorrect. The largest pre-colonization city in the US was a piddling 20,000

I hope so, it was useful then, useful now!
>There's loads of obsolete security advice around.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm wondering about. It's possible that most of your security issues are just folks credential stuffing in the simplest way, if that's the case then the whole registration thing isn't really a realistic concern.

Hell when I was in networking and if you did your best to just block traffic to / from specific regions / nations ... you eliminated a huge % of malicious traffic. For the guy thinking deeply about security that seems odd / not specific enough, but in the real world it works...
F*ck faster acceleration though. The 0 to 100 kph in 2 seconds trend is absurd and dangerous. We should lock all that behind a regulatory wall.
Ah I came here to recommend Flexbox Froggy and Grid Garden! I didn't come across them until long after I needed them, which is really a tragedy, but I try to rectify it by linking them to everyone I come across who is learning css (which is a lot of people due to some Discords I'm in). They're adorable and wonderful, and if you don't use css frequently enough to keep the properties memorized, but do use it enough that it would be convenient to be slightly more familiar than needing to re-google constantly I recommend re-playing them once a year or so; they're honestly pretty fun just because they're so cute.

At an old job we had to go to a "retreat" of a sort where the sales guys and technicians all schmoozed.

The company had made sales do tech work and techs do sales work neither side liked that. Sales guys just ignored it and called techs on a Friday afternoon to take the tech call they didn't have time for (yeah right). Techs worked days and were also on call sales didn't have to be on call.

At the meeting sales guys were slick with fancy suits, greased back hair (yes in 2008?) and had company cars. Techs were in golf shirt and jeans company trucks full of parts.

We all had to take a test you were scored on your responses and given a colour. All the sales based on their responses were put in one colour group yellow I think and all the techs in green. Like oil and water.
Not sure exactly what you mean? Are you referring to a purchase flow where you are buying something and also given the option to checkout as guest or signin/signup?

I am only speaking to the typical signup flow that anyone can access signed out without putting in any information besides email/pw. If you are in a purchase flow where valid credit card info is already entered and is going to result in actual purchase $$, you've already excluded bots/hackers who would be trying to brute force account enumeration. It would be totally fine to confirm the existence of an account in a web form in this situation as it is not a flow that can be easily brute forced for free with little effort or info needed (like a credit card).

4. Because humans can't copy themselves.

I don't know what their own thoughts on it are, but I personally think it's poorly bolted on because it's not actually used by the rest of the spec. There's a massive proliferation of functions acting on data structures, and none of them are generic even if they do the same thing. Poorly bolted on indeed.
Associating all these health markers (sleep, activity, diet) with an actual result is cool and something more fitness apps should do. Right now you can setup tracking for all these things relatively easy but the purpose of tracking them seems to be vaguely feeling "good" or losing weight. The apps encourage you to sleep a certain amount and exercise but it seems difficult to correlate those numbers with performing something you care about at a higher level.

I usually just say something like "yeah I guess I have been feeling more focused lately" but that seems pretty subjective.
I hosted a talk by A.O. Scott (film critic of the NYT) about his book "Better Living Through Criticism." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kh3-DGU3l4

He makes a spirited defense of the role of the critic, and I say in the intro that I don't GAF about Rotten Tomatoes or MetaCritic; I just read him, and whoever's writing on Roger Ebert's site these days. I want to know what the movie's like and if I should see it, not some stupid average rating from 100 would-be "critics". After I see it, I want to understand it better.

A real critic helps you understand what a work is about, and what's good or bad about it. A high school dweeb's opinion or a shill's is worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Of course it can hurt your feelings as an artist. I've had a video up on YouTube for over 15 years now, and my expectations on the comments are so low that I'm amazed when someone actually gets it completely. But after you read a few drive-by opinions by someone who completely missed the point, you just say "ok, you didn't like it, that's life."
Yes, I've seen it get down to a few milliseconds of sync on the right hardware (boundary clock on the switches, stratum 0 timeserver with pps, etc), but the protocol only guarantees 1 second of sync. Am I incorrect in that assertion?

I find it strange that stopping advertising on some particular platform is a "big deal". It feels like it might have been so when ads were run in newspapers and on TV, but regularly adjusting your advertising strategy to be able to check its efficacy seems like common sense in today's internet advertising world. Given that the script for these companies is basically interchangeable among whichever internet platform, it probably takes a couple hours to spin up or spin down an ad campaign. Can't help but think that smart actors just use these events as cover / PR for evaluating their ad efficacy.
Isn't this common practice literally everywhere in the software industry? They spend additional engineer hours on a feature that isn't generally needed, then they sell it only for the people that need it, and want to pay for it?

I'm not really sure exactly what you mean by "feed AI inputs like race and it will make racist decisions", as that's an absurdly general claim that doesn't even really say anything useful. If you mean the model reflects the underlying stats that correlate with race, class, gender, then sure, yes, I agree the predictor will do that. To say that it's racist is an entirely subjective claim.

No, this is how much the corruption of the FIFA annoys me. They enjoy some of my money too (through mandatory broadcasting fees in my country).

It was only planned to award one WC, when suddenly the FIFA surprised the world with an additional announcement for 2022.

Yes. Where is the problem now if a male player wants to kiss men, or if fans want to wear rainbow shirts? If a country takes offense with such basic and harmless things, then no, we shouldn't attend sports events there for our own dignity.

That doesn’t address the issue. Computers execute stored human knowledge. If that knowledge contains bias, then computers can absolutely propagate that and amplify it.

So yea, inequality is a social problem, but it is amplified by technical problems. We’ve seen this time and time again, the Internet at large being the most glaring example.

We shouldn’t ignore this amplification effect while we wait to solve the social problems. Furthermore, computers are often viewed as some unbiased decision machine, which makes the problems worse.
