It's just a motion to dismiss, there's no grand strategy. Most of these do not go anywhere but any lawyer that is doing their job will file them.
I was shocked that C# would make this change--which is specifically to modify the scoping semantics of a C-style for loop to match those of a for-in loop, not to merely change the semantic of for-in loops; the latter seems entirely reasonable... while the former is just ridiculous to me (and OMG I am so glad I don't code in Go ;P)--but, the reference you cited for that in fact states the exact opposite: that they would never do such a strange thing (and, thereby, agrees with the person on reddit who made this post and who is adamantly against this change).

> We have this same problem in for blocks, but for blocks are much looser about what “the loop variable” is; there can be more than one[1. or none at all.] variable declared in the for loop header, it can be incremented in odd ways, and it seems implausible that people would consider each iteration of the for loop to contain a fresh crop of variables. When you say for(int i; i < 10; i += 1) { ... } it seems dead obvious that the i += 1 means “increment the loop variable” and that there is one loop variable for the whole loop, not a new fresh variable i every time through!

> We certainly would not make this proposed change apply to for loops.
Who still uses Jenkins? It's an abomination of an obsolete system that is just a pain to use, manage, maintain, setup, etc. while there are much better, more featured, easier to use and maintain alternatives out there. And it has been like this for close to ten years now. It should have been ripped out in favour of either the "native" CI/CD (e.g. GitLab CI if GitLab is used for VCS, GitHub Actions if GitHub, etc.) or a modern one like Drone/Concoure/etc. years ago in any place that isn't ~two decades behind (so legacy airlines and banks?).
> There appear to be multiple high-speed JP2K decoders on the market; Comprimato[0] include a calculator for their product and it claims that a $240 GPU from 2016 can decode 4k 4:4:4 at 72fps.

Interesting, that's a lot better. This is my source for my numbers:

A GPU helps for sure, a CPU alone is pretty bad.

> According to Wikipedia, the DCP standard has a maximum bit rate for picture of 250Mbit/s.[1]

I'm really surprised, I would not have thought that a 4K frame at a theatrical quality level would fit into about 1.3MB. But maybe that's why they chose JPEG 2000.

> Dolby offer a software version of Atmos for soundtrack mastering that runs on a Mac Mini[2]. 128-channel object mixing was possible using consumer-grade hardware as early as EAX 5.0 in 2005[3].

That's not quite true because Dolby Atmos came out in 2012, not 2005. As for theatrical hardware, even though I'm not sure why it is so expensive, look at the Dolby CP850. It's a 64-channel object mixer for theaters and it costs about $8,000 (or $18,000, depending on where you shop and who you trust on the subject). As far as I know, EAX is not even a true surround sound encoding technology in the first place, and was a much more primitive system only for video games that is not directly comparable.

I suspect part of the cost is all of the outputs, and also because Dolby has been clear that they make their money (patent licensing) on playback equipment, not production equipment. I can't find the specific webpage, but it's no secret in the industry Dolby charges much more on licensing for devices with lots of outputs.
and why should "creative expression" be owned?
There are many other ways to get reliability at the software level, usually via redundancy. Even enterprise level SSDs doesn't guarantee you free of data losses and downtimes, you have to back them up regularly and preferably set up high availability for the database.
eh, I bet you are wrong.

I've run memtest many times, often for days, and it never detected any bitflips in RAM. And memtest is specifically designed to exercise every bit of memory and detect bitflips. While I've seen my share of PCs with memory errors, when you see one you replace memory / tweak settings, and then run memtest for a day or so to ensure it does not reappear.

Also, "unused memory" should not be a thing in modern PC: the read cache should expand to fill it - it's super fast to evict and provides tangible benefits in case of hit.

The errors usually occur on the boundaries - like in the network or in the SATA connection to disk or even in USB bus. For example the original "ZFS corruption" story (which seems t be gone from regular web, but I think its [0]) pretty clearly mentions damage "on the way to disk".

Did something similar a long time ago dealing with a massive monolith and multiple systems. Made a new system that was the source of truth. We used kafka and outbox pattern, so that records in the outbox were put in kafka and sent to the right system such as the monolith or other services.

NIF's lasers are only 1% efficient but they date back to the 1990s. Equivalent modern lasers are over 20% efficient. If they had modern lasers they'd have produced fusion power of about 20% of the input power.

They seem to scale well, too. In their big shot they increased the laser power by 8% and output went up 230%.

That said, compared to Helion it'd still be a lot harder to make a practical reactor with NIF's approach.

I think this is mostly silly. Barely anyone uses ActivityPub. If BlueSky only moderately catches on and 100M people start using it, the total number of ActivityPub users would be a rounding error.

> If you want to spend time helping developers/users, then understand where they spend their time, not where you spend your time.

You're spending your time with ActivityPub, so this advice should apply to you, too. The bulk of potential users are spending their time on anything but ActivityPub. And as for developers, one of course needs to attract them, but I hear the people behind BlueSky have a couple of bucks, the ambition to create a huge potential new market, and a track record of creating a couple of things. I don't think they'll have trouble finding developers.

If BlueSky comes up with a better architecture, ActivityPub clients should rebase. BlueSky should pretend they don't exist, except if they have some nice schemas or solved some problem efficiently, try to maintain compatibility with that unless there's even the slightest reason to deviate.

Didn't ActivityPub have enough of a head start? Why didn't ActivityPub just use Diaspora? Why prioritize ActivityPub over OStatus?
I am developing a sandbox project for Linux desktop applications called bubblejail:

https://github.com/igo95862/bubblejail

In the next not yet released version 0.8.0 there will be a new option to disable a specific namespace type per sandbox. For example, disabling the network namespace would prevent this exploit.

This is more flexible than globally disabling all user namespaces as some programs might use other more harmless namespaces like Steam uses mount namespaces to setup runtime libraries.

Love the idea of interrupting the "dopamine loop" with a delay vs. simply tracking or restricting usage. I worked on creating a Chrome Extension several years ago for myself and I can't believe I didn't have this (in retrospect) obvious idea. I have a few concerns:

* The UI feels somewhat unpolished for asking me to purchase an annual plan on signup.

* I would prefer a free version that is fully featured for a short trial period that later reverts to a limited (one app) version. I have more than one problem app and it's hard to get a feel right now.

* Can I overlap schedules (i.e. open during lunch and any time during the weekend)?

* How do I set this up for something like YouTube? I have several modes of using this app:
1) mindlessly watching 5-10 minute videos looking for the next one, or
2) setting up a long playlist while I'm working out and treating it as a podcast app.
I only want to prevent the former.
Indeed they do have lots of users, hence mentioning 'Microsoft in the Ballmer era' in the comment you are replying to. Lots of existing users doesn't mean a company is relevant.

3 critical issues over the year or so I’ve had the preview activated

Keyboard navigation is pretty broken now

Can’t sort results by update recency etc (as article covers)

And code vs repo search use different “lang” vs “language” filters, sometimes giving you the wrong one and wrongly saying no results.
I am cautiously optimistic about Helion. IMO, they're the fusion team that has the best chance of reaching the economic finish line.
Different issues, unrelated
Sprawl is a problem, but I don’t buy that this is the main reason people complain about McMansions (I live in a condo in a dense building fwiw due to personal preference so this isn’t sour grapes).

The people I know living in these large houses that were cheaply built with weird architectural accents were primarily middle class people in suburban areas with low cost of living and larger families. Often they grew up with less money and were the first of their family to do well. Typically they bought a house in some new development with a good school.

The people I’ve heard complain the most about it are the upper-middle class people on the coasts that went to Stanford, I mostly only heard this style of complaint after moving to the bay and meeting people that grew up in these higher classes.

It really comes across as a way to look down on the lower classes that “don’t have good taste” dressed up as something more intellectual. Actual rich people (not upper-middle) don’t give a shit, probably because they’re not afraid someone will mistake their status for middle class - they just live in their estate in atherton and don’t read articles like this.

I don’t like suburban sprawl either, but I have an allergic reaction to this kind of elitism.

It’s true - middle class people often don’t know how to properly signal status because they didn’t grow up in it, but how to properly signal it is also a moving target (intentionally) by those a little above them. I just find it tedious to watch.
If they can’t change their favicon, I’m not convinced they’ll deliver commercial fusion power.
Does anyone have some thoughts on whether fusion will actually help fight climate change?

Of course, fusion is far more clean than coal or gas and less environmentally destructive, aside from the mining of materials required, than say hydro power plants. But from what I can tell, the primary contributor to damaging the climate and environment is consumption, as a process. I currently see no end result where fusion does not drastically increase consumption, which means more use of non-clean materials and processes.

So I guess the question is: will the benefits of fusion offset the increase in consumption?
Right, and you can use fdisk and gdisk to see the partition table and determine the offsets

I think you'd be surprised. Maybe double and that's assuming same square footage.
Hard agree on this.

I think what we're talking about here is having a sense of community or at least human to human interaction. I can think of so many ways to get that without the obligations that come from having a job.

I generally enjoy my job but that is far from the main reason I do it. If money was not an issue, there are so many other things in life I would enjoy doing far more not to mention enjoying the general freedom that comes from not needing to work.

I suggest you do a deep dive into the physics behind their design. It's quite clever. They are able to evade some of the practical showstopping issues that face most other fusion approaches.
There's no genetic advantage to "finding a way out"! The home barrier way in is a genetic hurdle - flies that cross it are free to reproduce in an abundant environment. This calls for a "quieter" fly (a stealth fly?) who annoys the local beasts minimally - yet another genetic hurdle.

In the process of pulling an app off the app stores. Yea, there will be more friction, but to me, a person finding my app organically and having a more direct relationship with them means more to me and has been more valuable than the low conversion sales I get from casual app store browsing.
Fair enough. I maybe unfairly characterized both "dishonesty" and "nepotism" as a display of lack of integrity (by the Western definition, which tends to bias toward meritocratic values). “Dishonest” from the standpoint of deviating from the social contract of unbiased and meritocratic hiring.
DEI is about power, not inclusion and diversity. The programs were established, built, and funded to give power to groups that are perceived to be marginalized. Instead of working to equalize and support those groups, it has instead become a club of power for those groups to club companies, universities, etc. into supporting whatever goal they seek to do.

The goal of every program is survival and DEI programs survive by subjugating others.
> It feels like the small theaters though are making a come back

These are the only places I watch movies anymore. The overall experience tends to be much better. The screens are smaller, the quality of the sound and image tends to be a bit less, but that doesn't matter because they are also missing many of the things that makes going to the movies unpleasant. On the whole, I find myself actually enjoying the experience in them, unlike the "big guys".

It also helps that I don't tend to enjoy the sorts of movies that are in fashion these days, so the fact that the boutique places don't have first-run movies isn't a minus to me.
Trust me I'd puke if I saw Hillary speaking at a Cigna conference.
This feels kind of premature to me. I'm enjoying the new code search. It has its issues, but who amongst us has delivered a perfect feature on day 1? It's already a big improvement over the old code search on UI enhancements alone. A team worked hard on this project, and crapping all over their hard work will only make them feel worse about it and less likely to have desire to improve it.

I'll take the opposite stance: I think this is a good fresh start in a new direction of code search at Github, and I can't wait to see what improvements they make as time goes on.
> they're supposed to train up junior devs, up to the point said juniors become competent, at which point the juniors join the rank of seniors and begin to teach fresh junior hires.

The benefits of vernacular architecture include:

Capitalising on local knowledge and traditions.

Taking advantage of local materials and resources, meaning that they are relatively energy efficient and sustainable.

Providing a vital connection between humans and the environment in which they live.

They can be designed specifically with the local climatic conditions in mind, and often perform well.

Vernacular architecture is associated with regional styles using local materials to build homes for ordinary people. Trailers are not any of the above.

there is a difference between hand waving away the complexity of a potential software implementation and hand waving away how you are going to overcome the strong nuclear force.
Good question, bad assessment.

I'm pretty sure it was because it is actually the same situation in the real world — you're EXPECTED to have full command of all that information, yet need to filter it down in real time. If you are told to just skim forever, you don't ever face the real-world problem, and fail when you get there.

EDIT typo
There are worse ways to destroy capital, and the VC capital destruction is going to happen anyways. Might as well put it towards fusion.

The criticisms raised in the video are fair, and also the first youtube comment has an interesting point:

> Why would he allow this reckless behavior? Why would he himself be standing right there with them next to the device while it was in operation? Then I watched the video more closely again - he never takes the grid potential higher than 6kV. There was no fusion and no x-rays that could penetrate the wall of the vessel or the glass window. It was a ruse. You need to have a potential difference on the grids of AT LEAST 30kV to even begin seeing any fusion reactions at all. He knows enough physics to be aware of all of this. He was therefore deliberately allowing them, and the credulous audience, to believe they were actually doing fusion reactions when nothing of the sort was happening at all - they were merely staring at a pretty glowing pink cool deuterium plasma in a bottle. I believe this to be very suspicious behavior from a CEO of a commercial nuclear fusion company.
I dunno, I've had my fair share of "Can you elaborate on why you want to" as a blow off technique in my software career. This isn't helped by the GH engineer originally suggesting no one needs this, then another employee chiming in with "Yeah, sorry about that. We've heard this feedback a lot...".

I can perfectly understand the frustrations of the author - its kind of absurd someone working on a search feature needing the reasoning explained for why someone might want the most recent results, especially when the old search had this feature. I don't work at GH and I don't require "elaboration" for this request - I understood the OP perfectly.
And sign-magnitude representation would lead to +0 and -0 being two different bit patterns, which would mean == on integers couldn't be a direct byte comparison anymore. Undesirable.

Stronger protections help good workers too, such that it eliminates some risk in changing jobs, for example, to take on new opportunities that may be really exciting. It also adds some nominal value to tenure at a job (IE, there is a known ahead of time amount of severance you can expect if things do go sideways for reasons beyond your control, like in a merger)

The assertion that it only helps employees who don't deliver is not accounting for any variance factors that may not be obvious immediately.
