You're wrong: the deduction covers your "main home" plus a "second home" of your choice. Both are combined under the same $750,000 limit.
The first sign I should probably stop visiting The Verge was Nilay Patel's fashion meltdown[1] Then a few years later they DMCA'd a bunch of YouTubers making fun of a Verge-produced PC building video[2].

2. https://kotaku.com/the-verges-infamous-pc-build-gets-fixed-1...

I realize Kotaku and Gawker aren't much better reputation-wise, but a journalism outfit (The Verge) issuing DMCAs against people reporting on them rankled me much worse than the former two. Absolute hypocrisy.
For news feeds, I'd really like to tell it "always play most recent, keep the last n newscasts, don't play older ones unless I manually start them, skip to next unread feed source after the most recent newscast completes.".

I'd typic'ly want to listen to the most recent 'cast from a two or three different Japanese news sources, then switch to whatever else is unread, especially when driving. I'd want to set this up as an automation, rather than spend time manually overriding (adding, removing, arranging) AntennaPod's playlist and manually ensuring each playlist item is downloaded before I go to places with spotty signal.

As it is, I go months at a time without using any podcasts players because I don't know how find one that fits my very idiosyncratic use case. Life is usually easier if I just ignore "the news" rather than 'fight' with getting sources ready one to three times per day. (>.>)
Sorry I missed this.

We still aren't using hardware accelerated encoding. It's the last, and biggest contributor to CPU we see after profiling.

Moving to Rust was more of a decision for safety, than for performance, since most of the code we ported to Rust was in C++ already. The good news is we didn't see dramatic differences in performance between C++ and Rust.

Rust has a bunch of highly optimized, fantastic libraries, that helped with testing, profiling, and evaluating hardware acceleration/SIMD.

We will be putting together a blog about our experiences with Rust & C++, that goes into the nitty gritty of the good, the bad, and the ugly of our experiences here.

A great deal of the optimizations came from better profiling, better tooling, and a focus in that area. There is still a ways to go, and we are continuously working on improvements in this area.

Rust has been an incredible tool on reducing the work required to maintain, and change, core components, and we have even been able to have Rust target a static cylib library, and linked it in from a large C++ library.

The really great thing with Rust is it has a very minimal runtime, and integrates well with C++. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition to integrate it into a project. The maturity of the tooling, third party libraries, the build and package system, have been incredibly useful tools.

I liked the first half more than the second half. I think you establish the problem very effectively, but in the second half your own indignation shines brighter than inquisition.

I've yet to see an answer that satisfies me here. Many times, inquisition is indeed used as a plausibly deniable mask for ideology. Similarly, I don't think you or I will ever reasonably be free of our own personal ideologies.

If I had a good answer, the post wouldn't be interesting to me. I could rattle off one of the common answers (technocracy, degrowth, investment in education, something something social media bad) but those seem tired and wrong to me. This kind of topic is one where it's easy to find the obvious target (this person, this system, this policy, this organisation) and start shunting blame, but that's ironically falling afoul of the problem itself circularly.

There's no solution I stand behind with enough confidence to state it on a public forum like this.

For now, I'll just have to keep asking questions.
That's not really true. The Bells inequality experiments have proven (falsified) that there are no local hidden variables. The vast majority of scientists are not willing to throw away causality by accepting nonlocal hidden variables.

In other words the true randomness of quantum Events has been broadly accepted to reflect reality.

I started using Azure in 2018 -- it sucked but I had to use it because my company was entrenched in the MS ecosystem (as are many companies). Over time it sucked less, that when I left in 2021, Azure was in a semi-usable state.

AWS had an 8 year lead over all cloud providers at one point, but that gap is shrinking. MS has a stronghold over enterprises in a way that AWS can never have (O365 and Azure AD are huge). AWS might have mindshare among startups/tech companies but Azure's market share among traditional corporates is huge (largely out of lack of choice -- it's really a pain to integrate a MS stack with AWS).

So nothing is inevitable.

GCP though is not anywhere close.
I've read almost every one of these interesting articles that have come up on this site over the past year or two regarding teenage depression. My own step kids are morbidly depressed, with my step daughter of 14 having attempted suicide and my stepson of 17 becoming a racist incel.

My own observations compared to my depression free childhood, which was not a happy one, is simply one of exposure. When I was young I had both online and offline communities, but the point is that they were my age, and my culture. I had no idea what was going on in the greater world, the scandals of the 90s being mere background noise to my Pokemon and Zelda and WWE. I could never remember who was president even in high school, and kids were more concerned with social drama rather than being socially correct.

Kids these days grow up in the adult world. You can blame social media or the Internet but the result is the same- kids share their space with adults, they have opinions on politics, they joke about economics and social issues, they bemoan capitalism without having ever participated in the system.

I think children operate best when adult life is a mystery, some intangible and incredible future that will happen but is not understood, and unfortunately the society we have constructed post 2000 has destroyed the ability for any young kid to be ignorant.
1GB of free disk space is trivial, 2 CPU cores and 4GB is the minimum requirement for Windows 11; so its hardly “heavy requirements”, its basically “a relatively recent PC”.

Recommended is a bit more onerous, but, 8GB and 4 hyperthreading cores isn’t a lot . I’ve got a two-year-old midrange laptop (other than having a fairly nice dGPU for something not marketed for gaming, but that’s not really really relevant here) and its got 16GB of RAM and 6HT cores.
Unfortunately the equipment isn't cheap (though getting cheaper), so it only makes sense if it can run a significant portion (I've heard 25% in the coming decade for germany) of the time.
On the one hand: If your culture needs a preservation movement, it's not a culture, but a relic. Culture is defined by people, not some sacred thing that needs to be preserved. How much of the Italian cuisine they're trying to protect would exist if they had the same attitude in the 1500s, when the tomato was introduced to Italy?

On the other hand: I think countries should resist global cultural homogenisation. No offence meant to the Americans here, but I detest the exportation of American culture to Europe. I don't mean music and films, but rather the way of thinking about the world. I suspect this is where things like these proposals are coming from; it's the pendulum swing reaching too far before it settles in the middle.

100%. Chromebooks and an old-school flip phone.

In addition to being more resistant to malware, chromebooks are really easy to remotely support.

I also setup 2 factor with a yubikey for my Dad's chromebooks, with my phone as a backup authenticator. The key is simple to use (plug it in, press the button), and once you authenticate the chromebook does not need to be re-authenticated.

Nope. And it is much higher level than PhD. PhD is akin to someone with a few years of industry experience. A very small minority is extremely talented and can do research well beyond their years, but that’s not PhD level. It’s professorial level work (remember PhDs do some of the practical grunt work but usually a good professor will act as a sounding board / set out the research direction / help unblock students).

Consider that Raph and many others like him have spent decades thinking about this problem and working on it off and on and still haven’t fully cracked it. See the PathFinder for example as an attempt to research new techniques to make this work. There’s other work extending this and trying to put it into a real world system. I’ve briefly worked in related areas so I know a little bit about how hard it is and have talked to experts in the GPU space, but it’s not my particular area of interest / expertise. I’d call myself an expert generalist so a lot of the expert-level techniques that domain experts employ can be beyond my skill set (in general vector processing like SIMD and GPUs aren’t areas I’ve delves in too deeply because of how difficult it can be to get really good).
How to crash Super Mario 64 using a pendulum [video]
In college, I took an English/linguistics class called "History of the English Language." One big takeaway from it was that prescriptive languages never work, and pragmatism always wins over purity. You say you "cringe" when hearing English words in the context of your native language. English, too, is packed with loanwords. Espresso (I see you, Italian), taco, kimchi, sauna, schadenfreude, not to mention phrases lifted directly from other languages like "c'est la vie" or "et cetera."

I don't disagree that a homogeneous world is less interesting, but in a world where you can travel between every major city in less than 24 hours, and communication is unified and instantaneous, this is the natural outcome, and government word policing is a losing fight.

> Is it possible to gather entropy from weird sources from the user like mouse movements, that person's timezone, OS version and type, language preferences, screen resolution, browser fingerprint etc?

User mouse movements, maybe. But only while it's moving.

A person's timezone, OS version and type, language preferences, screen resolution, browser fingerprint etc... those don't change so often. So they're not really good sources of entropy.

I know somebody who works at Brother and they were upset at how little innovation happens at Brother. So they asked the CEO about working on some of them or newer items, like 3-D printers, and the CEO said we work on products after everybody stops working on them.

Their entire business model is to make great basic products.

> The alternative to price gouging is empty shelves with no option to buy at any price.

No, the alternative to price gouging is to maintain a normal profit margin since your flocks didn't have to be culled and your costs have not gone up.

If anything, the flocks that had to be culled would have caused a sudden chicken feed surplus and their feed cost should have fallen.
So false?

Internet radio is real and thriving. I listen to NTS all the time, e.g.
It's true nothing forces or forbids this, but some languages/toolings/communities/ecosystems encourage that more than others though.
* Build something people want and will pay for.

* Figure out what the product must look like early, and keep your vision consistent for a long time.

* Dive into the details of the product, and try to get quality at the lowest levels.

* Hire great and motivated people.

* Remove roadblocks that prevent people from moving quickly.

Those are the real lessons.

My current job does all of these, and doesn't do the "Treat people like shit," thing that is the core culture of Elon's companies. We move faster than the Elonverse companies, while working on a problem of similar difficulty.
Windows Sandbox, together with WSL, have liberated me from VirtualBox/VMware Workstation. So thankful for that. Now I only wait for native USB support in WSL.
It would be nice if there was a way to persist this. There are instances where you want to have either a clean environment to work in or you want to isolate something from your primary machine but you also don't want it to just get destroyed when you are done. Maybe this is a feature of this and I'm just not understanding it properly.
Honestly, part of the reason trump is relevant is because the left hates him. He is constantly one the news for seemingly no reason. One way to distract from a recession or bad policy is constantly reminding people of there hatred for the other side.

Also, there is absolutely manipulation on both sides. Look at news headlines about a transgender individual shooting at a Christian school that targeted the pastor. Notice if transgender or Christian is in the news title. If it was a white Christian male shooting a black school, would the identity of the shooter or school be important to put in the title.

We are a bit of a mess in the US, but it’s messy everywhere. Despite the mess, it’s honestly one of the better places to live if you don’t enrage yourself on the news cycle.
Imagine going to all the trouble of creating a custom paging driver, but then just not implementing the compression algo.

Really boggles the mind, as it seems like getting an off the shelf compression algorithm would be easy compared to implementing a custom paging driver. I mean i guess this was mid 90s, were drop in open source compression libraries not a thing yet?
Well, Saudi Arabia certainly isn't hiding anymore that it's not a friend of the west. They must feel pretty confident to make a move like this. On the other hand they already told Biden to shove it when he asked them to lower prices, so can't say this is much of a surprise. Probably want to make as much money the next 10 to 20 years while the world transitions to other energy sources.
Counterpoint - this is a bit like saying "sell the product from your own website, you'll get 100% of the sales and own the customer!"

Totally true, but good luck getting the customer to your site. Way easier to put your product on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, wherever people are already shopping AS WELL - and take a hit on profit (at least initially) and figure out how you build off that.

Leverage all the social media and blog sites and substacks and whatever that you can. Build a base and then figure it out from there.

The amount of projection in these remote vs in-office discussions is staggering. Just because you have a preference doesn't mean you should expect everyone else to have the same preference. Some people like going into the office everyday, others like working from home everyday, and everything else in-between.

There may be other factors at play as well. Maybe a person would like to go into the office more often, but they don't want to live in the city or make a long commute everyday. Maybe their particular office is very boring and quiet, or maybe it's loud and distracting and overstimulating. Maybe you get along great with your coworkers, or maybe your coworkers are intolerable and you can't stand being around them. Some people have crafted the perfect home office for themselves, and others may not have space for a home office.

It's very much a matter of personal taste, but there could also be many other factors at play. Point is, what works for one person doesn't work for everyone.
People have been having families in cities since the first cities were founded. Suburbs as we know them have only existed since the 40's.

I'm in my 30's quite happily single, but if I do have a family there's no way I want to move them to the suburbs. As a friend who raised two very successful kids in NYC (just like he was raised) once said to me, "As a parent, I have never had to worry about either one getting a car with someone who's been drinking, and that alone is worth it."

> The “making of Italians” has usually meant imposing northern Italian norms and language upon Southerners.

Italian is not a northern but rather a central Italian language.

> Can you give me the names of some Italian nationalist parties?

Movimento Sociale Italiano, was a nationalist neofascist party that became Fratelli d’Italia, the current governing party. FdI gets more votes in the south than in the north. Lega is a weird beast, sometimes anti-southern now nationalist and anti-immigration.

Windows containers for docker exist for a long time already, they are even compatible with k8s. And they are just a mess. Windows is not really a suitable platform for containerized apps.

If you want a sandboxed App environment for windows, there are the UWP/Store apps, which are also not that great.

I have the feeling that Microsoft kind of gave up on windows and is trying to move everything into the cloud and the browser.
