Sorry buddy, I value the privacy of my rock.
I mean, the PS5 is running a Zen 2 processor [0] so I would assume it's vulnerable. In general I would assume that AAA games are safe. Websites and smaller games made by malefactors will be the issue. (Note that AAA game makers have little interest in antagonizing the audience, OTOH they also will push limits to install anti-cheat mechanisms. On balance I'd trust them.)

It's ontologically impossible for neurons to have emotions too, yet here I am being annoyed by your comment.
Because unless you pin the threads to certain CPU cores (e.g. in Linux by using the taskset command, or in Windows by using the Set Affinity command in Task Manager), they are migrated very frequently between cores.

So even with SMT disabled, each core will execute sequentially many threads, switching every few milliseconds from one thread to another, and each context switch does not modify the hidden registers, it just restores the architecturally visible registers.
Speculative execution, not branch prediction.
I would argue for many people the value of a college education is not so much the education. Fraternities/sororities/equivalents, for example, are often seen at some schools as more important to social mobility + marriages and more exclusive than the schools themselves– mostly in the South, but also at some other schools, say University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Not just, those, of course, really but any shared activities+clubs for practically any niche– college could be considered one of the last places where everyone has normalized openly seeking groups of friends based on common interests, to the point most throw extracurricular fairs at the beginning of every year. Not saying those don't exist after college, but finding e.g. a truffle mushroom foraging group is a lot harder in your 30s if you've never met anyone who does it before.
Hmm...Lizz Truss came pretty close.
yes, crime was definitely invented because of 1920’s Prohibition. But for that dark episode of history, there would be no one trying to hide illicit doings behind the curtain of encryption, and the NSA/FBI/DEA/ATF/etc would definitely not be interested in reading encrypted traffic. Because, no crime, you see, so those agencies probably wouldn’t exist.

Some related anecdotes about listening to birds and sensing the rhythms nature:

Out my window while I work I watch blackbirds harass crows over a field where the blackbirds nest. They don't show up until later in the morning, and I can tell I've slept in way too late if I hear crows. I can tell the sun isn't up yet if I can still hear bullfrogs, and at night I know to grab a blanket when the crickets chirps slow down, or to close the windows when the cricket chirps are dense, because it's probably cooler inside than out and I can preserve the cool in the house if it's a hot night. The robins seem to come out looking for worms before a storm, because the worms likely sense the pressure change and surface before hand.

I had a squirrel problem over the winter, and I progressively started spreading a few peanuts out over the snow in the field further and further from the house and where they had less access to retreat to cover, as the hawks would show up later in the day where their shadows would be cast further out from their prey on the ground. I got the squirrels venturning pretty far out into the field for a while. I never saw the hawks get one, but one day I stopped hearing the squirrel and seeing it around. Not sure it worked, but it seemed like the most fair solution.

I'm consiering a bat house to keep the mosquitos down as well. If you have the peace and quiet and time to listen, you can really integrate with nature pretty well.

Problem is, both sides of the ideological spectrum have spent 100+ years studiously ignoring the actual basis for rights in the US--- Natural Rights theory--- in favor of more "malleable" approaches that can be twisted to their desired ends. Both the crazy strict textualists, who think that the constitution as-written is the end-all be-all of human rights, and at the opposite end of the spectrum, the crazy extreme "living document" theorists with their "anything goes" approach; neither of them want to acknowledge that there's an underlying philosophical framework that potentially flips the table on their shenanigans.

Possibly, yes. This is the dream of so called "single cell protein" production. One type of SCP has been sold for years under the brand name Quorn (derived from a fungus rather than bacteria).

Bacterial protein may trigger allergic reactions in people and bacterial biomass is purine-rich which can also be a problem for people prone to gout. It's possible that cell engineering, directed evolutionary selection, or additional post-growth processing can minimize these problems.

I personally think that the more likely path is using fast-growing bacteria as feed for animal agriculture or aquaculture. Solar panels are so efficient at sunlight conversion compared to plants that you could farm salmon protein starting from bacterial pellets grown on solar derived hydrogen with per-hectare productivity comparable to conventionally farming soy beans. But the solar farm can go on saline, dry, contaminated, or otherwise agriculturally useless land. And salmon has slightly greater nutritional value than soy protein plus significantly greater market value.
twitters brand is valuable. the only logical explanation is that musk thinks he will get something even more valuable in return for axing the brand. the strength of the brand is exactly why it needs to go. twitters brand is too strong for an identity change into an app that does all kinds of content, banking, identity, etc. the set of services that is offered online is emerging from the primordial soup of the early 2000s and gaining a definitive shape — the wave of the future is all platforms offering the same services on dedicated apps instead of the internet being a hodgepodge of scattered javascript apps. if x can be the first foot in the door of a paradigm change like that, ditching the bird will be an excellent decision. i think the long established pattern of people laughing at musk and then promptly copying him will hold true here.

If mathematics (or the underlying 'thing' that math describes) is objectively true or real, then it could have a platonic existence by power of its own self reference.

My response would be, that math is not true. It is build on top of logic, which is not universally true. x && !x == false, sounds right, doesn't it? In one place at one time it either rains or it does not rain. But this is, I would argue, an observed fact about our universe, not some universal truth. Imagine a different universe, something like the Everett multiverse where all possibilities actually happen and where the inhabitants of that universe experience all the different branches. For them it could be raining and not raining at the same time in the same place, their logic might say x && !x == true.
Have you ever looked at the Chromium source code?
The point of captive portals is to get the user to either click "I agree" (to the terms,..) or enter a code/pay for the internet.

Putting the url in a dhcp option wouldn't change that, wouldn't work with older devices (so a redirect would still be needed), and the only change is, that you'd have two ways to reach the same captive portal page, that you'd have to configure on two (or three, with ipv6) devices/config files.
I'd say the middle has it the worst. By the time you get to those much beyond 80k (you're going to have to regionally adjust that, remembering the median US household income is 70k) 1/3 your AGI still leaves you with more remaining income than those in the middle started with and by the time you hit 250k I think you should be hard pressed to try to find a reason to complain about lack of financial relief beyond it not being a fully subsidized system for all or similar (in which case you're still paying anyways, just differently).

Sorry dang... instead of calling Walter a bootlicker, would it have been more acceptable to post something like the following?

"Walter has a noted tendency to come racing into any thread involving labor disputes, stumbling over himself to defend the bosses and pointing out that the lazy layabout workers should be happy they're getting anything at all, and this instance is no different."

Basically, is it the tone, or the content of the message? I'll adjust as needed.

> other than statements about the availability of some package

But that is probably the most important thing. I don't have time to re-write 40+ years of code in a new language just because it's trendy or safer or whatever. I have new science to do!

In some ways science suffers because of this, but it is also nice to have a relatively common ecosystem and institutional knowledge that doesn't change every 3 years.

Well, some bugs actively hurt their ecosystem, like the bug in Firefox for iOS that sends corrupt or missing cookies after the application has been tombstoned and is launched again[0]. This will cause you to get logged out of many sites, which in turn makes you use a different browser and at that point you might as well use Chromium on your desktop as well.

> What would you do in the case, where a developer never anticipates that a message goes above the limit, and hence does not catch and process that category of errors. Later the software is being repurposed, and some low amount, eg. 1%, goes about.

This is exactly the type of scenario I was thinking about.

> But this error is silent.

You’re conflating two different systems; the API and the client that accesses it. These are different systems worked on by different people in different organisations.

This error is not silent at all. It’s correctly flagging the error as soon as it happens. The client is told in no uncertain terms that the call failed. This is good engineering. Hiding a problem only makes it harder to detect, which prolongs time to fix. Errors should be flagged immediately and loudly. For an HTTP-based API that means responding with a 4xx class error and a response body containing an informative message. So – not silent at all.

Separately, in a different organisation, some client developer has screwed up by ignoring the response from an API call. In the general case, you can’t fix this externally. Bad developers who assume all their calls succeed and don’t check error conditions are going to make that mistake all over their code and their shortcomings are going to manifest as numerous bugs. Furthermore, whomever reviewed their code missed something obvious – these kinds of bugs are easy to spot in code review. So generally speaking, if you’re asking what I would do then the answer is nothing. I’m not responsible for fixing somebody else’s dysfunctional team in somebody else’s organisation and I’d just be scratching the surface by trying to work around just one of their bugs at the expense of my own service’s quality.

In this particular case, however, you can surface 4xx class errors in a number of ways if you really wanted to, e.g. email the client a daily report of all client errors. But you should be designing your API so that correct usage provides a robust solution and that means rejecting invalid data immediately.

And please god offer a help menu somewhere that includes decent docs and an opportunity to re-run tours.

So many designers seem to think I am opening an app with oceans of time while asking myself the question, "What delights do these wonderful people have for me today?" When in reality I'm opening them to get a specific thing done right now. Which is the moment when I am least receptive to somebody forcing me to look at their product baby photos so I can say, "yes, your baby is beautiful, no really".

The points where I'm actually receptive to a tour are after I've completed my task and when I've just realized that I don't know how to do the thing I want to do.
It is better for favoring free speech over censorship. Dictators don't favor free speech whatsoever. You've been gaslight into believing the opposite. Tyrants censor people with any justification they can get their hands on, including "hate speech".

Believe it or not: I never worked on an IBM mainframe, except in college. It always seemed like the prejudices against it meant that, once you get into that world, you can't get out.

That said: what the business types like is the belief, whether it's true or not, that when you call IBM for service they're there before you hang up the phone.

Also, a long time ago at Oracle, I sat in probably the most boring meeting of my life: a group called MOSES, composed of sysadmins for Unix. Their complaint was that, supposedly, all mainframe sysadmins did things the exact same way, so if you hired a new one, there was no training. Whereas in Unix, everyone did things differently, so a new hire couldn't be productive right away.

The problem is, VMs aren't really "Virtual Machines" anymore. You're not parsing opcodes in a big switch statement, you're running instructions on the actual CPU, with a few hardware flags that the CPU says will guarantee no data or instruction overlap. It promises! But that's a hard promise to make in reality.
> The container format would be decoded by a sandboxed codec that can be found by decoding the container?

The container parser would not be dynamically downloaded, and may or may not be sandboxed.

We don't need a new container with almost every codec. We just need the new codec itself.

> WebAssembly codecs indeed exist, and they are impractical due to a lack in performance.

Mostly because they don't have vector instructions yet, I bet. But plenty of webassembly is within 50% of native, which is good enough for lots of things, which includes image decoding for sure.
Love it, but I’m pretty sure you’re missing ferry routes in the NYC calculations (which are public). It also might be worth including Citibike as an optional additional method.
Very true.

Here in Norway there's a huge push towards medicalisation of drug users after the Portuguese model. While I think it's maybe a mild improvement over prison, fines and a criminal record, having experienced both first and second hand how addicts are treated in the medical and psychiatric systems, I'm struggling to be too thrilled about it.

We need a fundamentally new cultural paradigm in how we see drug use. Medicine will obviously play a part for those who truly need help, but not everyone does, and forcing help on those can actually turn them into addicts or otherwise hurt them.
Fearing being turned off is anthropomorphizing it; you might fear this because you can't be turned back on, but a computer doesn't have this problem, plus it can be backed up.
