IMHO this is a generally benefitial viewpoint in life, except when specifically discussing mortality.
That’s one of my least favorite features, sometimes I’m too distracted driving or doing something else to manage Spotify and i want my albums to restart from beginning, but then it goes to some radio i don't want. And no, clicking "repeat playlist" button doesn't work because they flip it off randomly.
Two shifts? I think ctz plus a single shift should do.

shiftedOnes = (x & (rightmostZeroOneEdge - 1)) >> ctz(x) // This must be a logical shift.

With all the fancy bit level instruction, this could probably be simplified in general, but I usually avoid them because I mostly see this as an exercise in making it work if you only have access to the basic arithmetic and logic operations and shifts.
> Do people still have to use primarily their custom programming language for most work? That's my current understanding, is that the engine is primarily exposed to GDScript.

Why? It's performant for basic gamedev type things, has near zero call overhead, is integrated into the engine and it's incredibly easy to learn. It definitely beats Blueprints or something like Lua. And if you really want C# or something, it has that too.
> The latter is, as I said, a well-known slur that any Jew would find offensive.

You'd be incorrect, as I happen to know a Jew who some might consider "based" and knowingly says things like "...so I Jewed it..." and so on. Like, he literally just comes out and says these things in casual conversation and humour.

He was asking for advice to clean corroded IC legs and sockets (2017) and I see that he went with a new replacement board.

There are two ways I have seen corrosion fixed.

First is Brasso it cleans that black corrosion off IC legs and they look like new.

Sockets is harder so Google that because it usually involves acid and it's dangerous enough that I'll leave that for others to describe but it's basically acid solution and a brush followed by plenty of rinsing.

It doesn't seem that life extension is going to be unreachable for the majority of the people. Look at what happened with DNA sequencing. Anyone can get their DNA sequenced today (yeah, I know some people in very poor countries can't afford it because they don't even have food but hey, you had breakfast today). Comparing with the human genome project, the target price of most drugs that are in clinical trials today is ridiculously low. And it has to be that way because investors wouldn't be interested in those companies. As a biotech/longevity company, you need a reasonable plan on how to market and sell your research. "Immortality is only for the rich" is cyberpunk science fiction.
I actually know the history of the word retarded as applied to children with developmental delays. Around 1960 clinicians started using the word to label children with delays. And it took about 3 years for children to start using it as an insult.

The bad thing is what these people are doing isn't depriving the English language of a slur. They're actually turning words into a slurs. And depriving the language of words with perfectly innocuous meanings.

It's gotten pretty good the last couple years, and it's improving at a very fast pace. Some games work flawlessly on the Steam Deck, but don't yet work for me in Steam on my desktop running Arch, though.
That's a strange assertion. Devices use WiFi positioning whenever possible to avoid using GPS. Do you have some reason for saying that?
As well as the arrows, the buttons are just positioned intuitively most of the time. We usually get two perpendicular kerb ramps rather than a diagonal one pointing at the centre of the intersection. The button for the crossing you want is the one closest to you or facing you when you're waiting at the intended ramp.

The button gets mounted on its own post if there's not a traffic light pole in the right place to piggyback off.
I find it odd that the article compares US green-card immigrants with the war zone refugees that fled to Germany. I mean, obviously, the US is only choosing highly qualified immigrants while Germany kind of had to accept anyone, regardless of their work history, because it was a humanitarian crisis.

The result is, unsurprisingly, that many of those people arriving in Germany - who had to flee because we bombed the shit out of their country - aren't suitably trained for white-collar high-tech jobs.

As for the "Germany hasn’t been very good at training them" part, I think it just takes a lot more time. Many of those refugees effectively have to learn the language, then redo high school, then finish university. So we're looking at a 10+ year time horizon before they are ready for the job market.
The process the pilot describes by which bad decisions are re-enforced sounds like [Normalisation of Deviance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_of_deviance)
Author here. I wrote this in 2020 and while my thoughts haven't quite changed since, I acknowledge that all architectures have their advantages and disadvantages.

For example, I mentioned GitLab Omnibus, which I still think is a good way of getting up and running, but when a single package includes multiple different components (a PostgreSQL instance, Redis, some other software), then updates can become a bit of a challenge, if there are issues with that abstraction: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/gitlab-upda... (disclaimer: the "Everything is Broken" articles aren't always entirely serious)

Though that's more about different types of software, rather than various code modules in your back end. There, I still think that going with microservices first is likely to have issues with complexity for many teams and perhaps that most successful projects that use microservices grew into that architecture gradually, with plenty of lessons learnt along the way.

Since, I've actually heard someone use the term "singleton app" to describe an application that cannot be scaled horizontally (e.g. all user sessions in app memory, or using app memory instead of DB or external key-value store for business processes), which is probably the real thing to avoid whenever possible - in contrast, monoliths and modular monoliths should both be more scalable, while remaining relatively simple, at least while they're not too large.

It's a trivalent or worse response based on complex belief and observations

1) yes. It has next to no concrete demonstrated downside if you don't want to die of severe head injury excluding all other outcomes

2) yes. It alters your risk from life ending to merely disfiguring, or potentially quadriplegic, but at a significantly reduced rate compared to total risks unprotected on a bike.

3) yes. But, it won't stop other complex non head non neck related injury which can of course also be terminal, and has no strict bearing on their risk.

There is a confounding theory that wearing a helmet may make you take more risk.

There is a confounding theory that wearing a helmet makes you a target of abuse, attack and increases risk.

There are confounding stats on injury and death rates presenting at EMT and hospital which demand good statistics around increase in bike riding, age, sex, alcohol, drugs.

My personal belief is the confounding theories are bad logic to ride helmetless because they mistake second and third order effects and confuse risk and frequency against total population changes.

I live in an economy with compulsory bike helmets and I know emergency doctors none of whom seriously want this ended despite increases in survivable but horrific accidents for cyclists: prior to helmet law most of these people died.

My personal opinion is yes: you're a bloody idiot, literally and figuratively.

For this opinion you have to wear a well designed standards conforming helmet properly, with chinstrap done up and fitting. Otherwise it's performative and may be worse than useless.

I wear a helmet. My helmet of choice is protec.

Also I get the feeling that everyone that cares about their long term career at Microsoft are now on Azure, as the future Cloud OS from Microsoft, so we end up with these gimmicks trying to sell needless upgrades.

Yet what they could do better than anything else would be to move away from COM / C++ mindset at WinDev, but alas, that is asking too much.
My father used to fly when I was little, but he quit. When I asked him about it he said he used to think that it was only the crazy ones that got killed. But then a few people he knew as careful and level headed died in accidents. My father's conclusion was that the sport is inherently dangerous, and he wanted to make sure that he was around while me and my siblings grow up, so he quit.

This must have been in the early eighties. Maybe the gliders and/or training become better. But still quite a few people died. Since then more people do paragliding, which to me seems to be inherently safer.
Thank you. It is good to have these conversations. I appreciate you for taking a look. You are right, organizations should not conflate IP with identity on an absolute scale.

We are very open about the fact that, with IP geolocation, absolute real-time accuracy is not possible. There are billions of IP addresses and thousands of IP address owners who are shuffling them around randomly. Getting readily updated absolute accurate real-time data is damn near impossible at our scale. The most updated data you can get is on a daily basis, and we process around 1.3 billion requests per day.

The alternative you have to IP geolocation is GPS based geolocation. GPS has its place when used properly. IP geolocation is essentially a database. We are not getting any information from the user or their movement. We are largely inferring the data based on various publicly available datasets combined with an incredible amount of analysis.

The accuracy of our database on the city level is pretty close to 100%, but it is not 100%. This level of accuracy is acceptable to our customers. But you are right. There is a non-zero chance of error.

Now, customers who buy our product have to determine what is the significance of this of error rate. In most cases of IP geolocation, that is acceptable. Imagine traffic data at enterprise scale. Some of these organization are actively fighting cyberattacks on a minute to minute level. So, our data is very helpful for them. It is helpful in providing location context in data enrichment processes.

For advertisement and personalization, this low error rate could have significant impact. That is why we are having this conversation here, because some naively constructed personalization solution forces geolocation attributes on users.

But what we are seeing here is, GPS based location solutions, believing that they are so damn accurate whatever decision these organizations are making is not their fault, it is the user's fault somehow! Which is freaking absurd.

IP location's reasonable accuracy makes a strong case for privacy. There is no tracking involved for a user. For the regular organization with IP geolocation, they have just enough data on the user, and they are not asking the user to agree to a location tracking solution.

If organizations chose IP based location, they would be more lenient in providing easier fixes to personalization, because they are aware of the fact of non-zero chance of error rate. I am not trying to market the fact that not providing absolutely accurate data is a selling point somehow, but in fact I am trying to advocate for organizations to be more accepting and supportive of user requests. Most of the people I interact with about IP correction are not our customers or users of our customers. But we want to make sure they don't face these issues when they use our data or when they interact with someone who is using our data.
No matter the genius of German engineering, they are easily defeated by a bureaucrat with a long list of feature changes.
Avatar 2 was shot for 48 fps. It’s very different to interpolating animation to a higher frame rate.

Most animation is shot for 24 fps on twos, so 12ish frames (we usually go between 8fps and 24fps)

The difference is that we design poses to read at a given frame rate and have performance characteristics at those rates. If you were to interpolate it, you’d change a fundamental characteristic of the acting.

How long a ball makes contact with a surface is important and interpolation struggles to understand something that should stick to a surface for an extra frame versus something that should be blended.

Yes you’ll potentially get lower strobing but you’re also now getting a different performance. Maybe you don’t care, but it’s fundamentally changing things away from the intention.

This is a different discussion than just simply what frame rate video is shot at.
I had that very thought reading the entry for "abort". so what happens when we nuke that word? "I've had a cancellation". well, now we're calling it that, and the argument is now about that, and round and round we go.

I'm not against changing how we use language, but perhaps there are deeper issues that could be dealt with to avoid having to retcon our dictionary in the first place.

Shitty efficiencies[1] haven't stopped us from using combustion engines in cars for a century. But while combustion engines use expensive fuel, these solar cells use sunlight, which is free. So which technology should we celebrate?

I'm downvoting you not because you're entirely wrong, but because you've chosen to be somewhat right in an irritating, unproductive, flamebaity manner.

No, this is not "the absolute state of the left". This is the state of some loud people who think they have the final word on ethics and morals. Unfortunately, many others have allowed them to flourish, rather than shutting them down.

I agree with some of the items on Stanford's list, though most of the words I think are pretty harmless, or at least should be. That doesn't mean that some people wouldn't feel harmed by them, but it's just my personal opinion that the harm is minimal, or that yes, some people do need to learn that not everything is about them, and that language has moved on, and no one actually associates the word they're using with the thing they feel offended about. (Like, if I were to say something was "lame", I would not expect a person who couldn't walk to be offended by that, as that's just not what "lame" means anymore. Ditto for words like "dumb".)

But "master"/"slave"? Sure, those words suck. "Tranny"? Sure, 90% of the people using it are using it as a slur, and I don't want to be associated with shitty people like that. "Black-" prefixes meaning things that are bad, and "white-" prefixes meaning things that are good? Yeah, screw that, that's bullshit.

But then we get to... "Tarball"? Associated with "tarbaby"? What, are you kidding me? "Brown bag"? I'd never heard of the association with "brown paper bag test"; I always thought of it as "brown bag lunch", as in the kind of paper bag I'd always use to bring my lunch with me to school when I was a kid. Is the negative association actually a thing, or is this just Stanford's hand-wringing over nothing?

I'm also really annoyed by the "person-first" stuff. Not only is "person who has immigrated" a mouthful, but I don't know any actual immigrants who would consider being called an "immigrant" offensive. Worse, I think trying to put a stigma on words like "immigrant" ends up putting a stigma on the entire idea of being "a person who has immigrated", which is a shitty thing to do.

I've gone to the effort to write all this out to attempt to demonstrate to you that not everyone on the left -- or even a "majority of mainstream" or whatever you think -- would come up with or agree with the entirety (or even a majority) of a boneheaded list like this. My perspective is absolutely not unique in this, either.
I felt this way many times. The desire to see everything that will come, to experience it all. Being nostalgic for the future also implies that we're optimistic about what's to come.

The version I've seen specifies that the printer is from 2004:

> Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

> Security technicians: takes a deep swig of whiskey I wish I had been born in the neolithic.

No idea where the original version came from, but here's one from ~1.5 years prior to @PPathole's tweet:

> Imagine if they succeeded. Instant breakdown of society. So by induction, perhaps someone makes sure they don't.

My comment comes across as semantic nitpicking, but I don't mean it that way; I just think I'm not understanding what you mean by reasoning "by induction" here.

I am a mathematician, so am most familiar with induction in its technical mathematical sense, which I assume isn't what you mean. More generally, my dictionary says that induction is "the inference of a general law from particular instances". For that to be what you mean here, you would need to infer that "someone makes sure they don't" (meaning, I assume, "they don't succeed in curing death by aging") in general from the fact that someone has done so in particular cases. Is that what you meant? If so, who and when? Or is my dictionary wrong, or are you using some other sense of 'induction'?
For hard SF, you’ll want to check that your laser hops don’t pass close to the star your laser is orbiting or another star. For example, Gl 563.2A is part of a binary system (or is it? https://celestia.space/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2324), so service may be temporarily unavailable because Gl 563.2B interferes with transmission, and a different, slightly longer route may take less time.

Also, the hops presumably are between stars because that’s what the lasers take their energy from. If so, star brightness should be taken into account.
The "don't assume" logic would also apply for feminine sounding names, especially when the name is from a different culture to your own and/or ambiguous. He has the problem of the out of fashion gender neutral he along with guessing incorrectly from name or appearence, but the second issue also applies to she.
The whole of English as the language of global imperialism could be considered 'offensive' by the same measure.
Uh oh! “mental gymnastics” sounds like it implies able bodied people who can do gymnastics are better than people with disabilities! Burn the heretic!

I find a lot of the cultural appropriation items on this list deeply ironic because they imply English is allowed to take words from French (“beef”, “rendezvous”) and German (“welcome”, “hound”, …). But terms from non-white cultures aren’t allowed to become part of english? (“Guru”, “bury the hatchet”, and so on in this list.)

Is it just me or is that policy remarkably racist?
If you like that, try the History of Rome podcast, it goes through each and every single era of Western Roman history. It took me a few months to get through all of it and another few months to get through the History of Byzantium one which is still ongoing.

Interesting post. One thing stood out to me:

> The performance of older processes is also not sufficient for the latest cryptographic systems, such as Post Quantum algorithms or Multiparty Threshold ECDSA with Identifiable Aborts. On the upside, one could understand the design down to the transistor level using this process.

It would be great to see support for PQ and MPC algorithms, but what would make that easier would be SE programmability with access to the base primitives. The specific title reference implies GG-20 (which the original paper is broken, revealed in later papers such as the Alpha-Rays attack), so that would suggest a need for an SE that could expose field element arithmetic (both for DKG and signature creation) and support for Paillier, but even just having the former would be a major boon, as you could implement MPC protocols that rely only on base DLog assumptions like DKLs18 and 19 which use oblivious transfer (albeit with some matrix operations). Any news on this that can be shared at this time?
You say this, and yet much of the tech industry has taken to removing words like blacklist and whitelist already, even though they have no racial undertones whatsoever. Similarly, the master branch of many projects has been renamed to main, even though it had nothing to do with slavery, and master remains an extremely common term.
Some might say "Does it matter how long it takes, if 12 weeks is the bid needed to land the deal?"

To which my answer would be: yes. Just take down the sign and find something else to do if the best you can do to operate your business is a charade of moving goalposts and keeping a team in permanent crunch time.
I sat with my long distance gf to watch TV together, and genuinely forgot that we weren’t in the same room. It was magic. Taking the goggles off and instantly going back to being alone in my house was an eye opener; I realised that while VR is not as good as really being there, it’s so much better than a video chat for feeling close.
It's a "two turkeys make an eagle" kind of partnership deal, fairly typical in the industry.

When you're a big company and not a leader at something, it's not worth the investment to build a new solution, but your existing partnerships teams can be deployed to team up with another similar company in the hope that your lackluster offerings together will magically fuse into the product that neither was able to create.

I think including shipping and import fees it was about $26k. I looked at getting panels directly from a supplier, but it's very difficult to figure out which companies actually manufacture things.
