I've been using some form of *nix since 1997? Pretty much since I had my first computer. I was very late to the party - didn't touch a computer until college! I've used Windows on and off throughout those years (gaming, mainly).

Using PS is a joy, I've re-written all of my usual utility stuff from bash/zsh to PS inside a few week, and managed to improve on a bunch that I didn't want to do before because bash is painful to debug/test/etc.

I rarely fire up WSL now, and it has replaced Python for my general utility scripting language.

Note: if anyone is reading this - if you're still using PS5 built into W11, then you owe it to yourself to install PS7 (it can be installed alongside 5). It is invoked via pwsh rather than powershell, and can be setup to use the same startup scripts as the default PS.
Ethnic Russians can be not white, because people in Russia who have borders with China have a lot of racial mix. Kazakh，Uyghur also not white because they are asian.
Trying the most commonly reported frequency of ~8,000 Hz on a tone generator[1] provides a good example of how distressing this can be. If you give it a try, I would recommend you turn the volume almost all the way down before pressing play.

Didn't most of these happen before the introduction of the M1 macs ?

The first model hit retail at the end of 2020, and we were already way deep into the covid/wfo cycle, with people buying any laptop available at the time to cover for the transition.

In that respect, the introduction of M1 machines looks to me to happen way after the dust settled on the gov incentives front.

I don't buy the excuse about it as a "small company". How big was it again working on HL1 and HL2? Portal 2? The list goes on.

Let's be honest with ourselves: they got bored with it, made more money doing something else, and by the time anyone looked back were heavily intimidated by the expectations on them that doing a sequel to the beloved games was too scary. No matter what they put out, there will be a non-trivial portion of the fan base rabidly upset with it.

The "flat structure" means unless someone is willing to have the guts to push hard enough, there will never be consensus on what is likely regarded as a radioactive topic.

If Scott's wondering whom specifically to blame: Accretion of safeguards. It's inevitable, it seems. Something goes wrong, the process is amended to avoid that failure case. Something else goes wrong, add another amendment.

All individual additions are likely net positive - positive in 99% of the cases, negative in the rest. Assuming events are mostly independent, you'll sooner or later are in a world were net positive outcomes are becoming less likely than net negative ones.

You can sometimes sidestep that by combining/rewriting rules to some extent, but in the limit, you can only avoid all additional risk if you prevent any changes.

That's not a fault of IRBs. That's a fault of trying to minimize risks. I'm not sure there is a good answer here outside of "here's the maximum amount of risk we're willing to take, and here are the few clear ethical boundaries we'll never overstep".

There's a reason any place that's dealing with a lot of constraints is concerned with risk budgets, not risk elimination. And I'm not sure there's a lot of thinking on probabilistic ethics. (Or maybe I just can't find it)

Such responses are typical from those emotionally invested in the perpetual Twitter schadenfreude brigade. They are too emotional to have an objective answer at the moment.

The main difficulty is the network effect which Twitter has entrenched for decades. We're talking about 220M+ active users on the platform. Daily.
You really have to be a self starter and find something you like. I've tried so hard to get into PvP but I just can't do it. I might have tried mining once. I've played maybe 5 times in the past 8 years and could never get into it even though I desperately wanted to. It seems so fun!

This round of playing I really got into wormholes and exploration and I'm having a blast with that. I only play maybe 7 or 8 hours a week and I find the probe scanning and data/relic site hacking minigames both a lot of fun.

I've also started using mapping tools for wormholes which is something else that's oddly fun. There's just something about sitting in space scanning for wormholes and people could warp on you while you're taking the 2 seconds updating your mapping tool that gives me a thrill. It's also mostly work I throw away when the wormholes close because I live in a high sec area too lol but I still find it fun. Sometimes I'll play two days in a row and visit wormholes I mapped earlier to scan new sites in them.
As far as I know, xHE-AAC has no advantages over Opus, however, Opus is free from patent licensing.

The Last Liberty Tree
A bit more detail: the Nazis "banished" (discouraged, really) san-serif fonts, mainly because the futurists were considered degenerate; Fraktur grew in use under the urging of Himmler due to his weird beliefs about Germany's "original" culture (so-called Bauernkultur) that supposedly reinforced the racial claims. Most documents continued to be written in roman script (I have never seen a Fraktur Enigma or teletype, and have read plenty of memos and reports from that era on wikipedia most of which were in roman script). Billboards and public notices were increasingly

But it wasn't all government; newspapers (most notoriously Der Stürmer, but many others), street signs, shop signs driving licenses (still valid today) and such were increasingly written in Fraktur.

Then suddenly one day in 1941 it was suddenly declared „Judenschrift‟ -- "jewish writing", and this time a writing was declared legally forbidden. And as far as I can tell, nobody knows why!

Despite all that I have found in my mother in law's house books in Fraktur from the 30s, 40s, and even a couple from the 50s. I have one from the 50s on my desk right now! And you do see it on various signs in shops, some street name signs, and other random other places, especially when you want an old-timey feel (traditional restaurant, perhaps Glühwein Bude in the woods, and such). If people had a strong nazi identification I don't think you'd see it. Maybe that's just a USA thing. Fraktur was used extensively in other parts east of Germany (e.g. Czech) well into the 20th century as well, but I haven't seen it so much there -- I wouldn't at all be surprised if that was due to the Nazi past.

Fraktur has some nice ligatures, including ch, ck, ss, sz, ch, sch, tz, etc, of which only ß (and ä, ö, ü of course) survived in roman. Weirdly, ß is pronounced "s" "z", written as a ligature of s & z, but when unavailable, is replaced in Latin text with "ss".

What rubbish, the mocking is severely limited to as long as you don't directly name the big bosses or don't criticize the hyped government policies. Yeah you may not be censured by the media, but you will be invited to Jail under treason laws, or be tagged as Anti-National or Anti-social element. And then bakths engage to harass that individual.
Multiple individual journalists have been jailed, for asking questions. Unless someone is a well renowned big name, they will for sure be in big trouble.
"In fact some publication with anti Govt" is exactly the sad reality for most of the world, journalism is supposed to be critical where needed, you can't say some publications thrive. Journalists aren't supposed to be the friends of govt, tell me why majority of the media in India is never critical on govt.
Journalists are invited to all govt event: There have been instances where news channels were banned from attending, or straight up were blocked from telecasting.

But honestly it raises no red flags that Jensen is the face of “modern IQ research”? His most influential work was from the 80s and the 90s, and was heavily criticized at the time (including by Gould).

Since than there has been a revolution in non-linear statistics, are you satisfied that “modern IQ research” is basically the same stuff they were doing in the 70s? I mean even General relativity has evolved significantly with since the 70s as new technology becomes available to measure old predictions. Do you honestly think it is a sign of a healthy scientific theory that after a revolution in machine learning, they are still using same old factor analysis to back up their constructs?
That's a layman explanation. ShotSpotter is likely a passive radar system. In recent years, you can combine signal processing and supervised learn (neuralnet) to get better direction-of-arrival estimations.

Agreed, I feel like I’ve seen this pitch before. Intel’s OneAPI was supposed to solve this heterogeneous hardware/platform problem but doesn’t seem like they’ve made any dent.

Nowadays, you can actually leave the ship and stretch your legs in a 1 room station quarters. And I'd say in the social sense there are people almost everywhere, they will be present in the many chats or 'in person' in space, even when you hope you'll be left alone..

I think the philosophy of the capsuleer/ship mechanics is a refreshing one, and there's a cyberpunk feel to being wired up into that hull.

>I paid twice the base cost of my (admitedly secondhand) bike, repairing it these last 2 years.

Because the base price of a bike is just about nothing. So it makes sense that skilled labor quickly overtakes the cost. And you usually get a hefty discount on the price of the bike when you buy it second hand considering just about everything on the bike excluding the frame is a consumable item.
The exam, no, but most of the questions most certainly are. I know this because I've done extremely similar problems for homework and checked my answers online.
Case sensitivity isn't a major deal, but it's another example of the designers trying too hard to be clever and "user friendly". A good scripting language should try to reduce friction relative to other programming languages, most of which are case sensitive.

I'd like to see a native OS scripting language that has a low bar of entry, isn't silent on undefined variables and other common mistakes, imposes syntactical consistency like Go or Python, has decent basic data structures and isn't riddled with pitfalls. PS isn't that language.

If Bash and PS were good, it'd be so much easier to bring non-programmers into the command line so they can automate tasks and hack on their systems. Unfortunately, these languages aren't doing that, much less passing the usability test with most programmers who'd just assume script with Py, Perl, JS, or whatever their preferred language is.

This is a bit less interesting than it sounds.

When you create a corporation (aka guild, free company, etc.) in EVE 1k shares are created by default (you can create more, not everyone does). And this corproration hadn't, so if you have 1k share you own every share in the company (and thus have complete control over the company, if you choose to excercise it).

Now, nany corporations don't really care for the share mechanic, and just leave the shares in the posession of the founder, or place it in a locked down corporate wallet. But somehow "Flam Hill" got all 1k shares in this company. They refuse to say how. Some people suspect the original founder of the company quit EVE while still holding the initial 1k shares, in which case Flam Hill is likely the founder, or someone who obtained the account from them. Or perhaps they were a company officer who got access to the wallet and took the shares, etc.

Which means all the writing about how the directors were AFK or whatever is just window dressing. Flam Hill owned 100% of the shares, and thus could do whatever they liked with the company. In other words, there isn't really any obscure rule here or clever tricks. Or rather it is, but it all happened off screen, because the only thing that matters is how Flam Hill obtained control of the shares; once he had it, everything else followed.

It's as if Elon Musk wrote something about how he obtained control of Twitter by the clever gambit of walking up to the HQ carrying a sink. Actually, he obtained control of twitter by buying all of its shares, at which point he could do whatever visual puns he liked because he owns the company.

How come Flam Hill owned every share in the EHEXP? There might well be a fascinating story there of intrigue and theft and betryal there. But this story is just about the boring stuff that followed.
At least some of the big name bike brands have lifetime warranties on the frames. Everything else can be considered a consumable item. Not because it's designed poorly but because you'd rather your bike weigh 10kg less than increase the lifespan of some parts from 5 to 50 years.
i get too much anxiety investing time into something like this, i feel like there are more productive things i could be doing
Totally agree. One nitpick though - it should be 'cue' not 'queue'
Lots of optimism in the comments. There's definitely some risk bubbling up that's being noticed, such as this article from the WSJ today:

"Houston Apartment Owner Loses 3,200 Units to Foreclosure as Multifamily Feels the Heat

...

Applesway was typical of commercial-property investors who saw big profits in the prospect of acquiring moderately priced buildings and raising rents after making certain improvements. Chief Executive Jay Gajavelli said in a video posted online that he could double his investors’ money by sprucing up a lower-income apartment complex located outside central Houston, with a plan to raise rents and charge tenants extra fees for amenities.

“The property value will go up down the road,” he said.

Most of Applesway’s loans originated in the second half of 2021, just before the Federal Reserve began its campaign to raise interest rates. At one property, the interest rate on Applesway’s loan had risen from 3.4% to around 8%, according to loan information obtained from data firm Trepp Inc. At least two of the properties were financed with about 80% debt, which is considered high leverage in commercial real estate.

Some other large investment firms have had payment issues with floating-rate multifamily loans in recent months. Veritas, a San Francisco private-equity firm, defaulted on a $450 million loan backed by rent-controlled apartment buildings, and Blackstone Group is negotiating with its lender over the debt on a portfolio of New York City apartment buildings.

...

"

And finally:

"Foreclosures such as that of Applesway in Houston are rare, but they could become more common as loans come due and hedging contracts that protect landlords from rising interest rates start to expire. A record $151.8 billion in U.S. mortgages backed by rental apartment buildings are set to expire this year, and $940.1 billion are set to expire over the next five years, according to Trepp."
And like the IRB there's historical precedent for the laws the previous winners use to freeze development. Before the creation of laws like NEPA and CEQA in the US, civil engineering projects would frequently lead to environmental issues. Before local control over housing became the norm, minority neighborhoods and shops were razed to accommodate highways. Now those laws are being weaponized to freeze development.
Yeah but they already have a database, so it's not like they're adding a database to the system. And (as the article says) the database already contains state, so it makes way more sense to remove RMQ and hold all the state in the database (like they did).
Persecuting based on religion: bad.

Persecuting based on class in a society with such an unequal distribution of wealth? Fair game.

They're already at war with us; don't carry their water for them and pretend we're "equal before the law" or some such nonsense. We clearly aren't.

The Mozilla issue is labeled as "Position: Positive" and there is a comment that says:

> We're supportive of View Transitions, but since it's a new capability for MPAs in particular, we think it's important that the solution works well for MPAs and that it's consistent with the solution for SPAs. As such, if design changes are needed for the MPA use case that also affect SPA API, the latter should be updated as appropriate even though it has shipped. In other words, we think it would be bad for the SPA and MPA APIs to diverge or be inconsistent.

I don't think that's undecided. More like, "positive with some reservations".

edit: When I think about it again, perhaps you are right given the issue is still open (but also "ready to add").

edit2: Thinking about it more, I like the open process and all but perhaps such discourse should be private before being finalized as early commenters from Mozilla can have a premature influence on public opinion.
Unless you buy $10k+ bikes from the big brands (which in recent years go all for integrated components), you'd be fine.

Ask your local, independent bike shop for specific recommendations if you need those. Bikes components are highly standardized.
You need look at NOT the changes but the root cause of it to understand why this could be happening. Most of these wordings looks like a corporate stuff. And that is exactly what this looks like.

Rust is a Non-profit 501(c)(*6*) foundation and *NOT* 501(c)(3) which is what you probably expect when you hear or say the word _non-profit_. A 501(c)(6) non-profit is to look after the common interests of the members involved. It is non-profit. But the money pooled in are for the interests of it's members. Meaning Rust Foundation's corporate members.

I don't know the people who wrote it, but my guess is this is at least one of the reasons. I am honestly guessing some of the weird ones will be reverted and this is because of a misunderstanding because of the people involved (Probably some legal team?). Obviously, I could be wrong here.

---

A non-profit 501(c)(3) organisation on the other hand is for public charity, public interest and things like that. They are more likely to be community oriented than a (c)(6). Python foundation and Zig foundation are non-profit 501(c)(3). In operating systems, Linux Foundation (which controls Node.js and other projects) is a 501(c)(6) as well. While FreeBSD is a non-profit 501(c)(3).

Ideally we want projects which have a non-profit 501(c)(3) organisation to flourish cos they exists for the community first even if corporate companies are heavily involved.

there is a good talk on a real world react->htmx port here:

in which improved performance features as a big part of the realized benefit of the conversion

of course, not every application is going to be amenable to a hypermedia-style approach, so your mileage may vary:

Is this actually a reasonable scenario for using HTMX? Is JavaScript even required?
To clarify: "band-limited" usually means X(w) = 0 for abs(w) > B for some B, where X is the frequency spectrum. And that's the definition Shannon used in the original proof, which is where the idea of Nyquist Frequency comes from.

If you add the additional constraint of the signal being "bandpass-limited" where, X(w) = 0 for A > abs(w) > B for some A, B, then yes, you can under sample.

And that's where the information-theory idea comes in where the amount of information contained in the band only "needs" 2X sampling rate to reconstruct perfectly.

You can think of aliasing being somewhat orthogonal to that in the sense that you need 2X bandwidth so you don't corrupt the signal, but 2X max frequency so you don't alias anything else into the signal. (I say this realizing that aliasing is what would cause the former signal corruption, hence "somewhat")
