The US would drag all of the rest of the civilised world to war with it, as they kinda did with the proxy war of Ukraine. The US+allies could probably take down China+allies. But if this happens, we are all, gloriously fucked.

I'd say you see RLP in written form from time to time, but yeah, not "commonly". Also BaWü isn't an acronym but you're right, compared to other countries we're not really big on abbreviating the states it seems.
What? How about living ones? Like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. At least Spielberg says he regrets his decision but when it comes to George Lucas and the original Star Wars, there's plenty of people who were very angry at him when you could only get a DVD of the original trilogy that was filled with modern CGI effects and prequel actors that weren't there in the original release. At one point the only way to watch those original edits at home was to get an old VHS set at the flea market.

Whether I'm a creator myself or not has nothing to do with this, and whether the edits are made by the authors themselves or by other people without consent of the now dead author is not really my point here. Both annoy me but of course the latter is even more annoying. I just want an easy access to the unedited works thank you very much.
My original version used blinking for all the Morse code, but then the entire typing process was basically this experience :D
Why would you need to look at a screen? Surely the feedback from a volume knob is the volume changing?

If it doesn't change -> change it more

It it changes too much -> change it less

If you realise it needs to be moved slowly -> move it slowly
If a hostile alien species ever arrives to kill/enslave humanity and plunder all Earth’s resources, I wonder if their harvesters will look something like this? Or will they put more effort into aesthetics?
It may be an unpopular opinion, especially on this site, but one thing I enjoy is extensive and long-lasting liturgies. Now I have seen priests who can compress a "low" Catholic Mass into 20 minutes on a weekday. But there is something epic, powerful, and truly transcendent about a liturgy like the Easter Vigil, which can easily top 3 hours. There is a ton of things going on, lots of singing and great arrangements/instrumentation, some really special elements having to do with water, fire, and oil. It's the peak joyful time of the year and a real occasion to celebrate with all the stops pulled out (literally!)

The other masters of long, ornate liturgies are those of the Byzantine Rite (which is, I believe, how "byzantine" came to have its generic meaning.) Christian liturgy is musical theatre before musical theatre was a thing.
> Huh? They cannot be. You cannot get the same level of tactile feedback from a touchscreen as from a properly designed knob.

That's true but also I feel like they could make much more tactile touch screen if they actually spent the money. For example, you could use a pressure sensitive touch screen so that mere touch doesn't activate buttons, and you could put a haptic feedback mechanism in it like that of Apple that actually informs you when you press something. The haptic feedback could even subtly tell you whether you are touching a button before you click it.

The reason they don't do that is that touchscreens are a cost cutting measure and making them as expensive as buttons would cut into margins.
Stressing out about minutiae of your own health is, in most cases, wasted effort.

However, putting that effort into fixing those small things for millions of people usually is worth it. For example, could OP contact their local building standards department and push for CO2 monitors in all new buildings? Could they do a study and publish the results to give a better scientific backing for any changes? Could they publish designs for a combined smoke and CO2 alarm?

If they are truly powerless to do anything like that, then they should just ignore the whole thing and worry about more day to day risks, like slipping on ice on their front yard.

There seems to be some confusion as to whether this is "true" geothermal energy or not. Conceptually anything that taps underground heat sources is geothermal energy [1], but the technology used and the possible applications depend significantly on whether we are talking about a geologically active part of the crust (higher than normal temperatures) such as those found near tectonic plates boundaries, volcanoes etc. The technical term is high enthalpy versus low enthalpy sources. [2]

It would be really cool (pun) if the much more widely available low enthalpy option could produce electricity but it seems that this in not possible (yet?). High enthalpy plants have a range of complications as the fluid being used is full of chemicals.

I think you are conflating the quality of the photo with the quality of the subject

the first pic is probably the best photo, but the other platforms have their unique beauty even if the pics are not on par
In a way though, Apple tried to solve the problem with haptic feedback. What is completely lacking in all touchscreen controls these days is any kind of feedback. So Apple actually recognized the need for a feedback with touchscreens and invented a solution. Industrial designers didn't even try to "solve" this problem.
Why is there no “matrix memory”?
The usual problem with matrix multiplication is that both are stored in either row or column order. That means that one of the two memory access patterns will be inefficient.

However, it would be easy to create a "matrix memory" that allowed linear memory addressing depending on the choice of memory port. The hardware could have a row-access and a column-access, both of which were linear because of the hardware wiring. That way both row and column access could be efficient.

All that would be required would be some "memory configuration registers" that specified the matrix shape.
> I mostly agree, but I'd caution against the label of hypocrisy. I think it was in "diamond age" that Stephenson wrote something to the effect that hypocrisy is the only remaining taboo when all morality is relative because the only moral standard you can hold someone to is the one they eapouse themselves.

I wish, but hypocrisy is a weak criticism that's easy to escape except in the most clear cut cases, and in some cases is deemed as invalid.

Eg, some people's approach to morality is that people are intrinsically moral or immoral, not actions. This allows people to make statements that work out to something like "My friend may be a rapist, but he's a good person. He shouldn't be punished for a mistake". Moral goodness isn't gained through actions but through acquiring status in some way.

In that kind of worldview, hypocrisy is irrelevant. My friend is a good person because he lives in a good community and is well-off. That guy over there is a bad person because he lives in a slum and obviously deserves that.
Depends on what you're looking for specifically but I'd rate Hamburg higher than both (I'm from Munich).
RelativeCI founder & bundle-stats maintainer here, thank you for the mention, Tom!

I totally agree with the need to run bundle analysis checks often for medium/large-size applications. It will help to notice the issues when they are introduced, otherwise, the optimization task becomes really challenging. Actually, I built bundle-stats & RelativeCI after spending weeks on optimization tasks running hundreds of slow builds, staring at multiple webpack-bundle-analyzer reports, and using google spreadsheets to track asset/module changes.

One thing I noticed in the last 2-3 years is that we got better as an industry at managing the bundle size bloat:
- improved libraries
- new light versions for popular libraries
- new and improved bundlers
- new and improved meta frameworks
- better tooling & more resources

However, the web applications we are building now are larger and more complex than before, with hundreds of bundled libraries and tens of thousands of modules. The increased complexity has made the bundle analyzing and optimizing even more complicated. One of the most common feedback I received was to better integrate the bundle analysis and insights during the code review phase and allow developers to detect and fix the issues as soon as they are introduced:
- [done] Pull request comment with bundle analysis insights & summary (https://relative-ci.com/documentation/setup/configure/integr...)
- [in progress] pending/approve/reject review flow based on custom rules

Odd take, the 5G hype was talking about devices that _might_ exist in the future and _might_ solve problems. I have used AI (or ML at least) 4 times today to solve problems. One was hype and I might use, the other is in my hands and real.
> With Microsoft coming out with statements like "bad for Britain" and marked Microsoft's "darkest day" in its four decades of working in the country[0], it feels like Microsoft wants people to think they were surprised by the decision, and that it was unreasonable.

This was the right decision by the UK regulators. Microsoft is just doing extravagant sensationalism and FUD since this blocks the entire merger.

> Does Microsoft have a point? Or are these just angry execs throwing their weight around? Do people think the CMA was being reasonable in blocking this deal in the UK, or is Microsoft right to be angry?

No. They don't have a point.

This is just a big corporation complaining over the fact that they didn't get the result they wanted and they're crying at the UK regulator(s).

Horizontal integration of existing multi-billion dollar games companies in the same industry is bad for gamers in general and anyone who trusts that such large companies like Microsoft not be anti-competitive with these triple AAA game titles is beyond delusional.
I could absolutely do with less gratuitous violence indeed. (In Stan, the violence is not gratuitous - it's shown because it is questioned)

I'm sure we could do with more sex, even for teenagers. That would be a great path toward learning / exploring / getting familiar about important aspects of it (consent, safe sex, different ways to find pleasure with it, not necessarily heterosexual sex, not necessarily sex involving exactly two people, also the fact that some people are not interested). There's no point in it being taboo. It's part of everybody's life (at the very least everybody comes from it). It just needs to be carefully handled.

I do think these structures are beautiful. They seem organic and mechanical at the same time. It looks like something that has been constructed to withstand nature in an incredibly contrasted way. It conjures the same amazement I have with large planes taking off, it looks like it shouldn’t work, but it does. I can understand why people don’t find it interesting, but I for one am mesmerized by it.
I think this sentiment underestimates the amount of work people do on existing codebases.

The most reviled languages are often previously loved languages that made writing code easier at the cost of reading and understanding it.

Team 1 secretes reams of instant legacy code, but get money and promotions for shipping it. Team 42 gets handed a steaming pile of manure that is beyond understanding. They then pick up the pitchforks because it is obviously the language's fault.

So, yeah, it isn't the language so much as the average incentives and behaviors around development.

> I don't think jail time for making software too bloated and slow for your liking is a serious proposal.

Especially since the boundaries of "making software" is pretty blurry.

Would creating a suboptimal Excel spreadsheet count as "making software too bloated"? A pretty strong case could be made for that.

Would creating a clunky personal homepage count as "making software too bloated"? A pretty strong case could be made for that.
OO encourages objects graphs scattering your data unpredictably in memory and modern CPU:s likes to have it's data in continuous memory area where it can do prefetching and prediction on where your data resides.
Thank you for the comment. I was wondering about the same thing
One interesting example is Josephus. A Jewish-Roman historian, he provides almost the only roughly contemporary mention of Jesus outside of biblical ones (and biblical apocrypha). He simply describes the existence of a 'superstition' (non-officially accepted religion) around Jesus, that he was crucified, and that his followers still venerated him.

Sometime in the last 2000 years, probably the Early Middle Ages, Christian scholars doctored this passage to have Josephus suggest that Jesus was a god, or at least superhuman (even though Josephus was not a Christian believer).

Modern scholarship, including religious scholars, almost unanimously accept the passage as fake. But Christian proselytizers still use it very frequently as extra-biblical confirmation of the divinity of Christ.
Yup. It's a rig. It can search or reach for oil among other things.

That said, what does exploratory mean in this context?
I just maintain my data hoard by copying it to ever newer media. As that happens the cost drops and the capacity increases.
That's beauty? Surely something must be lodged in the eye of whatever beholder wrote that. These blocks of rust look far more Borg than Begonia.

> I confess I have never used it. I still rely on USB sticks

Phew boy. You really should try dropbox or a competing service.*

Picture this:

1. Double click a file
2. Type some words
3. Save the file

That's it. There is no step 4. Your file is now synced to all your other computers and to any colleagues who also need that file.

Seriously you shouldn't be using USB sticks these days. Also - I'm guessing you haven't started the transition to USB-C yet? USB sticks are going to get really painful when you do.

(* I use a competing service - more than one actually, but I have used dropbox in the past and it worked well. I just didn't like the direction the company was taking it. This story is yet another example of that)
If they're ashamed, they'd not publish it..

If they regret it later, it's likely because society is bullying them into pretenting to be _very_sorry_(tm) about expressing their ideas.

If they genuinely change their position, then, in a mature society, they can own up to their past and all will be good.

But that's not the direction we're moving, no, in todays society, people must constantly revise their past, not to fit with their own values, but to attempt not to be cancelled.

So basically, you found the plot of Stranger Things to be too slow moving and therefore parents theory about binging marathons and collective attention deficit disorder is somehow wrong? Combining original claim and your complain about this show, I do not even see what people should watch to not be adhd for you.

Also, Stranger Things does not even have that many sex scenes? There is like one or two per series and they are fairly mild.

This reminds me of the apple 'service' that automatically replaced your MP3s with its own 'sanctioned' digital files. It turned several of my tracks into unlistenable, censored versions and I've been incredibly wary of digital-only content ever since.

- Applied Cryptography (2e) by Bruce Schneier

- Structured Computer Organization by Tanenbaum & Todd

- Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Gamma, Helm, etc

- A New Kind of Science by Wolfram

And many more could be added to this list

Sure, some of them use acronyms or reference technology that you've either never heard of or has been supplanted

>What actions are you referring to? Changing the audio volume? The interior fan speed?

This entire thread has me wondering the same thing. I've owned many cars and drive far more than average. What are y'all adjusting so much that's causing issues here?

If we exclude infotainment, which even the best have lousy driving ergonomics, you need to be able to turn wipers on/off (most are automatic now), turn the HVAC up or down (many you can just leave at a single temperature in more modern systems) and turn your headlights on/off, high/low (these have been automatic in the last few cars I've owned). Most other things should be adjusted before you start driving.

What are you having to adjust, outside your music, that's so difficult?

If you look at the byline in this CNN article, you'll notice it says "Reuters".

Reuters offers a "news wire" service with articles of generic factoids and syndicated to various news outlets like CNN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_agency

By design, news wire articles (business, politics, etc) don't have value-added synthesis or insightful analysis because the generic content is created quickly for fast dissemination.

It's not an "opinion piece" like a Matt Levine article or The Economist editorial/analysis.
I may be completely wrong but having a lot of money, especially if you earned it by conventional definitions, might intrinsically motivate you to take better care of your health to live longer and enjoy your achievements.
