Not sure if it's true for everyone, but you can see this when you're staying with others or have guests. When they're gone, you can relax and just sit or read or continue a game you'd started or look at your phone guilt free. That's the calmness you mention. You're not starting/maintaining conversation, maintaining eye contact, am I wearing the right thing, etc.

But how much is that and how much is addiction to the device/content? For most people in 202x, I'd guess these things are part and parcel.
Yes, exactly. It was a lot worse about 5 years ago, at least now you can push back politely and not get insta-cancelled.
> Vanguard and blackrock are the major share holders across the whole of big tech.

This is simply a false statement. Holding a single digit percentage of a company doesn’t make you “the major shareholder”.

> As I said, this is public info and people can check that whatever you can post on this forum.

They should check, and so should you.

> And again, I am not on the unbelievable side here, you are: you have to proove this duo which are the major owners in all of big tech,

They aren’t ‘major owners’. They own a minority of shares, whether considered together or separately.

> do not have any say in the steering of the companies they _own_

They don’t own the companies.

They own a small percentage of the shares of each of the companies, completely insufficient to win any votes.

I see you’ve walked back your claim about Google now that you’ve checked the facts. At some point hopefully you’ll see that wherever you got this whole argument from, you have been misinformed.
That's not a "challenging environment", that's "we paid people to do a job and they finished it".
I guess it depends on whether you consider alcoholism to be a mental illness. It is listed as one in the DSM-V.
That depends entirely on who does it. An individual versus a government official.

The overarching point still stands. That people being in favor of censoring "disinformation" (ie speech by private individuals) in certain instances but not others is an inconsistent stance that carries a distinct appearance of partisanship.
Well, TBI only uses one of the two unused bytes. Meaning it would still keep working until an increase to 56 bits, or 65536TB of virtual memory. Once even that's not enough this CPU architecture isn't going to be used outside of VMs anyway.
Most modern processors read their native word size from memory internally. And that's it. So to read a 16 bit word on a machine with a 64 data bus, that is split over two 64 bit words (e.g. addresses 0x1007 and 0x1008) two 64-bit reads are performed.

It's standard to store a byte or half-word in a struct with a full 32-bit or 64-bit word, for performance reasons.

Some RISC machines can't even do such sub-word accesses at all. Byte and half-word load/store are an optional extension to the RISC-V base instruction set.

You're right I stand corrected. I'm mainly following these things on YouTube and there the Russian state point of view is actively suppressed. Ironically I've become more pro-Ukraine the more I've learnt about the Russian state view, still can't get over how fast things went downhill.

One advantage of Optional is allowing you to remove null from the language and then stop worrying about null checks. But you can't get that in Java, because you can't remove null from the language. So in practice that benefit is very small - you still have to worry about null in Java code, and will for decades.

The other advantage of Optional is that it behaves consistently regardless of what's inside it, which means you can use it in generic code in a way that you can't use null. For example a common problem with null in Java is that if you call map.get(key) and the result is null, you can't tell whether that means the key isn't present in the map, or the key is present but the value is null. Whereas if you're using optionals, you can distinguish between None (key not present) and Some(None) (key is present, but mapped to None).

So Java could have added a getOptional method to Map (with a default impl), and then if getOptional(key) returns None the key isn't present, if it returns Some(null) then the key is present but mapped to null. That would be a legitimate, immediate use case, that would give people a benefit from switching to Optional today, and would start the ball rolling on using optionals, and maybe eventually in a few decades they would be widespread enough that we could start deprecating null in the language.

But instead they made it so you can't put null in Optional from day 1. Which would be great if there was a way to instantly migrate everything, but it makes it harder to start using Optional in an existing codebase and reduces the short-term benefits, for the sake of a future that (because of that very lack of short-term benefits) will never come.
My experience with indexing is similar. Up to lets say 1M docs it works fine, but after that it goes south. Even with auto-batch I had to manually prepare large bulk updates and wait for completion during inserts to not overload MS. (I am using Rust client).

Other than that, it is simply great. Ranking stuff is great, simple, I only need custom weights there, some additional functions (not just asc/desc) and it would be perfect.

Edit because I hit the button too soon: no, wifi devices have enough resources to use better encryption, and do.
It’s interesting how pro-russian propaganda has massively spiked in the recent days. They are bringing pretty much every talking head with half a name to it they can get. Putin and his cronies must really feel the pressure. I have to say it kind of makes me happy. Means that Ukraine and Allies are doing things right.

This whole line of thinking strikes me as emotional reasoning: “I feel bad, therefore the world must be bleak”. People like to look for rational explanations for something that’s not very rational. These feelings of anxiety and depression are probably more correlated with things like lack of religious belief and overexposure to news media than with any facts about objective reality. Plenty of examples of “poor” (on paper) societies being happier on average.

That is a popular opinion amongst redditors, and I find it a bit conspiracy-theory-ish. Shills doing anything potentially impactful are often easy to spot and tend to be called out on it or ignored. I expect there is some quid pro quo going on, but "earning a living" seems like a stretch (with maybe some very rare temporary exceptions in burgeoning frontiers).

More plausible is that there are lobbyists or employees of think tanks who use reddit as one small part of their overall efforts. There are likely a ton of failed attempts to make something go viral, with the occasional lucky success. I can't see the time investment usually being worth it for anyone actually looking at results.

Of course, for those with money to burn who are too lazy for followup, someone they employ could be making money as a 'reddit influencer', but I just don't see them accomplishing much. Throughout the history of post-agricultural civilization, there have been dead weight positions eagerly filled by those more interested in easy money than taking pride in their work. It's like a lottery for the ethically challenged, and what they do is ultimately of very little importance to the rest of us.

You just shut down debate very hard there, and by corollary there's really no point to be gained in arguing with you any more as well.
The United States attacked the energy supplies of an ally? When was this? It doesn’t seem reasonable that Biden faced with criticism at home for higher energy prices would exacerbate that problem by attacking the gas supplies of NATO allies. He had nothing to gain from doing this. The explosions didn’t bolster his political standing at home or increase his political capital.

Judging by the quote-retweets, a lot of people think Twitter just announced you can only tweet 1500 times per month unless you pay $100/mo. (for all accounts, not automated)
I think that the concept of the moderator is fundamentally deranged. Moderators are limited, egoistic, normal people. I don't want them telling me how to speak

Some kind of propagating peer rating system is something I'd like to see. Ie : I manually rate peer X. And peer Y is rated by how peer X rated peer Y, weighted by how I rated peer X, and so on.

> to .NET Core and then to .NET 5+

Just to nitpick. Core -> 5+ was not really a transition. Just a rename to drop the word "Core". Core is still itself, still Core, just no longer called Core.

The old .NET is frozen at version 4.8. So Microsoft felt there was no longer a need to refer to Core as "Core" once it hit version 5+. Maybe a bit premature as the old .NET is still in heavy use. Now it's always unclear which .NET someone is talking about because they say ".NET" which may refer to the old .NET or maybe the new .NET formerly known as "Core".
Elon was just unnecessarily cruel with the layoffs imo, if he had been more professional and less political I think people would have had a different reaction.

The anti Elon group grew pretty massively when he laid off people in the way that he did.
Anecdotally, I was neutral of Elon before the layoffs but that changed when I saw the way he conducted himself.

A few weeks later the Chinese arrested a few people.

That's impressive. I've never been able to get their ISP's to respond to me, even after having coworkers write emails in traditional Chinese. The only time I had any success was contacting the CCP and suggesting someone was spreading democracy and talking bad about them and those networks would go silent but they would still never reply to me.

> fraud speech

This is you fundamentally misunderstanding what is meant by "speech". The statement itself is not illegal. The act of misrepresenting the transaction being agreed to is what's illegal.

A specific act that involves many components, only one of which happens to be speech, has been made illegal. The speech component itself has not.

There are certain situations where speech itself is restricted. This is not one of them though.
> and not who is benefited by the destruction of the pipeline.

Something that wasn't made clear in the article is that US energy companies have been massive beneficiaries of the Nordstream destruction. The US is now the world's leading exporter of liquid natural gas. That wouldn't have happened if the pipeline(s) were still operational.

This is crazy cool. Instead of searching Google which returns info from literally any random source (occasional good sites among the ocean of SEO spam, malicious sites, ad-ridden clone sites, annoying trolls, paywalled, etc), you could have your own set of diverse query sources you've deemed to be actually useful and trustworthy.

I suspect this is only a basic, naive idea compared to the true potential capabilities Trustfall could unlock.

In a few years, 256 TiB will be barely enough to run VSCode, Slack, Teams, and a browser concurrently.

But yeah, the idea is that you can add tagging info to the high bits of pointers (to enforce data types, reference counting, etc.) and pay zero cost to indirect through such a tagged pointer. No need to mask off the tag bits, just use it like a regular pointer.
For one thing a classic way of downplaying metrics, "we're only logging X bits of information", turns into 3000*X. And here X is huge already.

If I get access to detailed metrics from go, gcc, make, tar, gzip, bash, python... of course I can tell which programs you have been running (and frankly, I'm disgusted)
“Elon is going to do Elon things, why get mad?”

Quite the patronizing tone to say basically nothing.

But I’ll add: tech forums (like this) are built for discussions about tech stuff (like twitter), so of course you’ll hear people floating their opinions about these topics. That doesn’t mean they care more/less than you.

We get it, you’re above such petty discourse, but many tech employees see a difference between market layoffs and the richest man in the world buying a company on a whim and firing people over printed code reviews. Does holding that opinion mean that they’re stressing? Probably not. I’d bet most are just replying on the toilet.
What does "zero trust" mean in this context? I assume the network isn't trusted, but is anything else trusted? How are peers authenticated and/or authorized to access a zrok end-point?

This doesn't speak to the cross-platform .NET Core runtime as Unity3D is built with C++ and still uses their modified fork of Mono to run C# code whilst their WASM uses their IL2CPP tool to convert .NET byte code to C++ before using Emscripten to convert to WASM.
You’re right, although I’ll point out that this doesn’t directly contradict what the GP said: it’s possible to both stress over your future and go to a less prominent school (or no school at all).
Notice how the Nord Stream explosions were timed with the opening of the Baltic Pipe connection, which makes it possible to send Norwegian (and Danish) gas from the North Sea to Poland (and possibly further to Lithuania).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Pipe

Putin was still trying to energy blackmail Europe back then. It is hard to see the explosions as anything else but a threat that the Baltic Pipe could also be blown up -- and the Nord Stream pipes weren't very useful to Russia at that point so it wouldn't cost much to lose them.

What has dated is that in the series they were all "jolly nice chaps" and the public service was super-competent if not always directed in the way one might like. Awfully pleasant "deep state" in the modern parlance.

It seems much harder to suspend that disbelief on either competence or that they're all very sound and nice people. Is that just my ageing or have things changed a little?
My brother recently retired after a career (~18-38ish) as a professional basketball player. It worked for him and there were opportunities to leverage contacts for employment after sport. But that was a 15+ year career. Anything too far short of that is a risk, IMO. Watching many of his peers defer tertiary study, or forgo jobs for training roles, or be out of the league after a few underpaid years while contemporaries were getting promoted with years of study or work under their belt - I figured you want your children to be very good or hobbyists playing social sport or to keep fit. Anything in the middle might just be distraction or disappointment.
It’s so weird that so many people ruin the happiness in their lives trying to compete for a spot at an elite university so they can get in the fast lane to making money for a corporation as a VP or something. And for what? So they can have a bigger house or “better” vacations?

Why don’t we push kids to find happiness in whatever they do and that living in a bungalow in a working class area and driving used cars doesn’t really matter.
Sure, if you have more equations the degree, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the article.
