That is pointless, even if the games run fine on your computer it doesn't mean anything, you'd just be lucky enough. It'd be the same as responding with "it works on my PC" whenever someone says they have a problem with a game or other software on their PC - sure, nice for you but that doesn't mean anything aside from being possible to not have issues with some hardware and software configuations.

Also it'd be worthless to even try that, i made the switch almost three years ago and not only the software stack has changed a lot since then (IIRC Windows 11 didn't even exist), there is even a new discrete GPU vendor out. Today's comparison would not be representative at all.

And finally i never commented on how things performed[0] (i am assuming it is performance you have in mind with the "work better" as you mention that this "work" has to be "not equal but better" - anything else would be too vague to matter) - especially since the situation that made me decide DXVK was good was actually making the games i tried to play actually work regardless of performance (i happened to have some screenshots from a game i had issues with since i tried to report the bug in hopes the developer fixes it - they didn't - and this is the result i was getting [0][1][2]. Dropping DXVK in - under Windows - fixed all of those). FWIW in my experience performance was more or less the same (i did some testing with various games on Steam between Linux and Windows 10 after i installed Linux, some games performed better, others worse but the difference was miniscule that i only noticed with tools like mangohud on Linux and RTSS on Windows), which was great as i'd switch even if it was always slightly slower because i dislike Windows' UX, so that was a nice "bonus". But that isn't relevant to the experience i had anyway.

[0] Except that part about Intel Arc, but that was widespread knowledge when these GPUs came out, you can find several YouTube videos about the issues they had and some used DXVK to avoid them - BTW Intel kept improving their drivers, so even if you tried to replicate the results nowadays you wouldn't get the same results.

I had the dreaded creak. Installed a Wheels Mfg threaded insert BB thing - problem solved on that old bike. Never had much of an issue with the threaded ones otherwise over almost 30 years of riding.

There's lots of other ways to address PF issues, I think it's just that consumers know about the issues and prefer to avoid them if possible.
I've always thought that about conical burrs, but I guess I've never seen anyone actually look at them under a microscope either
This is a good point, even without polymorphism there are risky refactors, but the polymorphism increases the number of potential risky refactors.

On top of that, it might be a lot more obvious that turning a vector into a vector of vectors might be risky, but that you can iterate on Option won't be top-of-mind to everyone.
+1 for keeping the web version usable on mobile. I don't need something that runs in the background and tracks which IP addresses my phone passes through with a carbon copy to facebook via their sdk or whatnot.
“Paywalled” isn’t black and white. In this case, the article doesn’t seem to be paywalled when accessed from outside the US, and from within the US reader mode also works.
In other cases you may have a limited number of article views free per month. In that case, one can clear cookies/local storage to reset, or use a private browser window/tab.
To help give a way to grip why this is a hard problem: computers work with quantized values so you get quantization noise (or you get thermal noise in the analog domain), and that means that every datum that you want to ingest, compute and spit out again as a result is going to be about right, but not quite right. You then take it through a few million cycles to see how it behaves and as you do so with every iteration you are further and further away from how it really would behave. And that's just that one aspect: quantization noise.

Then there is the uncertainty principle to deal with which may preclude one or more parameters from being known exactly in the first place. And so on. In the end you find that no matter how much computing power you throw at it even just a simplest atom is beyond your capability of simulation for as much as a tiny fraction of a second.

What we do in almost every simulation is to take a shortcut: instead of simulating the individuals atoms we simulate their observed properties and usually in larger numbers. This allows for useful work to be done in a timespan not measured in aeons. But it's an approximation at best, never a simulation accurate enough to make definitive statements about how any individual atom behaves and what its future state will be given some set of initial conditions with any accuracy.
You're talking about someone else to their manager. That is the person you are making a decision for.
BC: Backwards Chronology

AD: Advancing Dates
If there's a commonly used (or uncommonly) runtime or language out there, someone has attempted to write a MOO in it. At least I have.

Finishing it, and getting other people to use it... that's another story. I've started building probably a half dozen or more systems over the last 25 years. Some have gotten further along than others, but none ever completed. And yeah, I played with Erlang for it at one point :-)

That's why I just threw my hands up in the air and said "F* it! I'll just make it fully LambdaMOO compatible." Because believe it or not there's still people using the LambdaMOO server (and "Stunt" and things like that) and various cores on it. I can hopefully get their interest; but also it gives you a suite of (really weird, aged, and sometimes questionable...) code to test against, and something to compare to for compliance.

The other thing is it makes sense to build such a system in a "systems" PL like Rust or C++, because it is actually a virtual machine, language runtime, database, has a garbage collector, etc. If you end up caring about performance (might not need to, to start), getting closer to the metal makes sense.

Reduce the pressure! :)
Enculturation is just to make it so people who otherwise cannot bear much economic fruit can at least not be producing negative value. Studying the classics, if nothing else, should at least produce a well adjusted human. That in and of itself has value.

But those are the fringes of the education system. The core focus is on producing high value citizens that will produce far more than they take. This is abundantly clear if you look at the social valuations of high caliber students with fruitful degrees.
It's a big claim. To estimate "1280 individuals" is... very precise.
Use sshfs.
No, this is personal responsibility in action.
Maybe start some sort of trade / manual labor business, and do it with the grace and elegance of a software engineer.

E.g., offer as much in the way of online signup / online service requests as possible. Don't make horrid, bizarre websites. Don't make people call you on the phone -- or worse, wait for you to call them -- in order to get a decent estimate of cost and/or when you're going to show up. Include things like DoorDash, to show me on a map where you are when you're headed to my house, so that if I have to meet you, I don't have to putter around for an hour wondering when you're going to show up.

And then, of course, do the actual work well and with excellence.

Could be any number of specific lines of work -- lawn care, plumbing, heating/cooling, water services. If you want to leave California, snow removal.
3/20 by purely guessing, out of the big 3 cloud providers it's the only one I have no experience with.

Shockingly, one of those I got right was "select 4 out of 6".
Because just like statistics don't say anything about an individual person they are quite useful when applying them to larger populations and we usually deal with larger populations of atoms. Gas simulations work well because the noise more or less cancels out and then your macroscopic gas laws emerge and allow you to say useful things about how a gas will behave. Even if under the hood it is a completely stochastic process that gives rise to these laws. The laws themselves are simply our best description of observed reality, they are not laws that any particular atom needs to obey!
1. My account is older than yours and has far more reputation. It's no more a throwaway than yours--it just contains the sequence of characters "throwaway".

2. Your link is about co2 exhaled which is a tiny fraction of a person's overall co2 emissions.

3. According to https://scied.ucar.edu/learning-zone/climate-solutions/carbo..., the average American's carbon footprint is about 16 tons of co2 per year multiplied by the average American's lifespan of 77 years equals 1,200 tons of co2. According to every source I could find, the overwhelming majority of trees in the United States weigh a single digit number of tons fully grown, and trees aren't pure-carbon either. Further, many trees don't reach maturity and of those that do many release their carbon via decay and combustion.
1. who gets to decide whether the owners of something get to destroy it or not?

2. the west has zero claim to any of it regardless of the circumstances. even if you think its justifiable to take it for preservation, what right do you have to keep it if it can be safely returned?
Amazing! It was a joy to watch the dismay live, sadistically. But this makes it even better! How cool.
I consider the fact that people use it like TV to be a problem. YouTube (at least the way I perceived and used it) was a thing where your friends tipped you off for what to watch or look for or you needed a visual demonstration or explanation from a "real person" where it would otherwise be much harder to get up to speed by yourself. And it was a lot more of a bona fide social experience because of that (you were not NOT going to totally reminisce with your buddy that told you about it later), just not within the confines of the direct interface/site itself.
Even under best Social Security, this falls below $55K/yr.

Nominal retirement from Uncle Sam is more like $19,200/year.

So, is Dept of Labor going to crush us seniors economy-wise by pulling the rear?
Does amazon support what3words or pluscodes in addresses? I haven't had to try, since the postal service in my country is exceptional at knowing where people are and what's typically used in my area. Also, postcodes map 1-to-1 onto buildings here so there's no way to have a mixup unless you don't check the address correctly.
Acroyoga. Tried it at a festival, and love it.
Of course, then you get into the problem of whether you want to store that by time zone, or by actual physical location. If it's the latter, you might have to deal with the time zone that covers that location changing at some point between now and then, like when Kazakhstan merged what were previously two separate time zones into one.
True. And Mastodon's paranoid safety culture is why they could have just used chat.
Apologies for prior terse response, I wasn't talking about a personal experience, just the almost-goes-without-saying truism that japanese brands are the most reliable and have dominated pretty much every car reliability rating since the 70s. You used a single anecdote to make a very broad claim so the burden of proof is on you to back that claim up.

The data is really easy to find. Here's two examples of CR results:

That's a neat project, but it wouldn't satisfy a sizable percentage of searches as a Bing API replacement. It needs much more crawling, processing and a quality maintenance and improvement operation. I think you should keep going with it. Perhaps you could find a way to contribute to engines like Kagi; they already incorporate some smaller and/or weirder indexes.
They mean that we humans are under no obligation to comply with a corporations branding strategies.

Before more advanced computerized call routing and SS7 signaling changes area codes had to map to one specific non-overlapping region. So when a metro area needed more exchange prefixes they had to split the area code and some subset of customers got pushed onto a new area code.

In more modern times they assign an "overlay": multiple area codes can be assigned to the same region so there is no need for splits.

Actually the system isn't really hierarchical anymore. Thanks to number portability optimizations any switch can lookup the destination switch for a 10 digit number. Thanks to faster computers and larger storage that isn't the problem it once was.
I called it before I wrote the comment. A few years ago I got the song, just before I wrote my comment I got a recording saying they were closed permanently
> “I really liked how you tackled this, have you thought about this approach?” Instead of “Why didn’t you do it this way?”

Both of these are bad. Split the difference and drop the smarmy "I really liked how you tackled this," crap. That sort of thing makes you sound like a mother praising her toddler's scribbled drawings. Don't treat your coworkers like kids. If you want to know if they considered another approach, just ask them that without trying to softball it. "Have you thought about this approach?" If that's what you want to know, that's what you should ask.
Offsets are just fine for timestamps, and other historical data. And much simpler than having to maintain history of TZ data, and trusting that all your collaborators are using the same TZ db.

It is only scheduling future events where they fall down. Calendars and scheduling are demanding applications.
The rosy scenario, then, is lots of these little turbines?

Won't there be separate NIMBY lawsuits about every single one of these, claims that they're unstudied and cause ecological damage, ruin the natural enjoyment of the river, etc. etc.?
What about storing current geo coordinates and a timestamp of when they were recorded? I feel like that should be enough for a theoretical future system to adjust mapping for continental drift.
Entire aircraft engines and rocket engines can in fact be x-rayed (google image search awaits you). Granted if you stuck your hand in there it would definitely get cooked. The power levels are much higher.

If you really want to dive down a rabbit hole, look up how they image welds on pipelines... literally inject radioactive gas between two cardboard/clay plugs and tape an xray film on the outside of the weld for an hour or two.
>UK plug sockets are rated at 13 A, giving a maximum power rating of 2,990 W.

Nominally, anyway. When the EU standardised mains voltages they mostly did so on paper by fudging the tolerances, UK's 240v +/- 3% became 230v -6/+10%. 28 years later and I still see the mains voltage in the 240-250v range more often than not.
There are nuclides heavier than 56Fe, for which no decay mode is energetically allowed. 197Au is not one of them, because it could in principle do alpha decay. Wikipedia has a long list of theoretically stable nuclides (no decay mode possible), and observationally stable nuclides (at least one decay mode possible, but not observed): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclides
Please pay Kagi then, it would be a better world online and offline if we started rewarding the good-faith actors for once. That you're already willing to cough up for it is encouraging, just take that last step. Their browser is sick too (Orion) if you're of the Apple persuasion.
Yep. So long as you separate concerns well it’s quite doable. The heavy lifting is deciding how to turn roguelike tiles into MUD rooms, or vice versa. There were some MUDs doing procedural content back in the ‘90s, and others that had a minimap, so there’s plenty of demonstrable overlap.
Gnus was a joy to use. Never has an application fitted me better.

Spam was the issue – there were extensions and initiatives to combat it, but it was a losing battle. It was a major cultural loss – Reddit can at its best approach it, but not replace what existed in the early nineties.
There are certainly diminishing returns on many of the aspects coffee enthusiasts care about. But when I started experimenting with an Aeropress and some better coffee I found it interesting that there were many fundamental aspects I could easily taste. Temperature and grind settings can get very obvious quickly. And also the difference between roast levels or some kinds of coffee beans/preparation are not difficult to taste. And I don't trust myself to distinguish any of the more subtle tastes coffee enthusiasts talk about.

But once you e.g get into arguments on whether high-end grinders with conical or flat burrs are better you're far into the diminishing returns that might not survive a blind test.
It is a bit sad from a historic perspective to lose airfields to development. But the opportunity they provide for development has been invaluable. They have played host to science parks, wind/solar farms, particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, film studios and even modern airports.
Math is the description of how one number relates to another number.

I'm not a math person but this Shinichi Mochizuki sounds like a hack job.
Seconded. India has some terrific development culture.
I suspect it’s not being addressed well because it’s one of the fundamental challenges of school in the first place. For many, assessment and grades are the end goal, and any learning that happens is secondary.

I can't be the only one thinking, given how much ChatGPT gets confidently wrong, that it's way too early to be talking about funneling this into classrooms?

The internet is bursting with anecdotes of it getting basics wrong. From dates and fictional citations, to basic math questions... how on earth can this be a learning tool for those who are not wise enough to understand the limitations?

OpenAI's examples include making lesson plans, tutoring, etc. Just like with self driving cars - too much too quick, and many are not capable of understanding the limits or blindly trust the system.

ChatGPT isn't even a year old yet...
Interesting. I take a vitamin D3 supplement daily because a physical a couple of years ago showed I was a little low (I do keto so I'm assuming that's why). Sounds like I may need to add a Zinc supplement as well?

Not that they ever mentioned to me.

The best theory we can come up with is that he contracted the fungus while crawling under a house.
I also hate this. When someone tells me they really like how I did something, when they clearly don't and only say so to package their criticism, I find it hard to take their criticism seriously because at that point I no longer know which parts are honest anymore. But it seems to be a cultural thing. I've noticed when I moved from The Netherlands to North America, that people here are often less direct, and actually appreciate the packaging. People seem to be more easily shocked when things are said in a more direct way. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but going from one culture to another it can cause unpleasant situations, on both sides.
People don't want this. They say they do but they don't.

Social media is 15 years old now. Watching what your friend had for dinner or some other mundane non-event is just not that exciting anymore.

> Good abstractions reduce mental load.

Yes, in sum, but bad ones increase it, and it's not always immediately obvious to everyone that an abstraction is bad. A lot of that comes from experience.

> The minute I have any duplicated logic it gets combined as much as possible. I hate duplicating anything. Some duplication is impossible to avoid and I hate that too. I hate specifying the same logic in 2 places (say client-side and server-side for web validation). I will do anything possible to avoid that.

Good for you Glenn Coco! Work in any scaled software organization and you'll see that combining logic too early is full of hazard.

> I almost always build things out as a library ... This is always more work initially but has never failed to be right choice.

Maybe to you. I wonder if someone who's ever tried to use your library down the line ever thought "this was abstracted in a really suboptimal way but I have to live with it." Even if they did, I don't think you'd know. I've been that person too many times. People have got to stop building shitty libraries when they're not necessary and only serve to obfuscate the logic.

Hm. Wonder if any newsreaders could "follow" a person, regardless of the group he posted in. I don't recall that feature existing in rn or trn.

The paper doesn't speculate on how many cultural environments cynicism is warranted. Is it statistically signficantly different from unconditionally embraced cynicism!?
1) I took several upper-division classes before I took the 61 series, which I took in my 3rd year. (For my CogSci double-major, I didn't take the pre-req until my final semester, long after I had taken all of the upper-division classes.)

2) It is my understanding that most of the weeding classes (CS61 and their counterparts in other majors) are now graded on a curve, but they weren't back then: your grade was your grade. Hilfinger and others like him are the reason for the change. Quite ironically, several of their colleagues noted at the time that these professors would not have passed their own exams if they hadn't written them. (The story making the rounds back then for the reason that Hilfinger agreed to curve his class: after arguing for a week that students deserved the grades they earned, he took a test prepared by a colleague trying to demonstrate that his test was too difficult, and failed.)
Don't know about Java or Go, but Python... yes.

I think your argument is similar to the one we had with the calculators and later with Internet. I think ChatGPT is another tool. For sure there is going to be lazy people who use it and won't learn anything, but it also sure it is going to be a boost for so many people. We will adapt.
Even easier, no web search needed. All you needed to do was search the group list for relevant terms. All the Usenet clients supported searching the group list. Then you just tick the checkbox and the articles were downloaded.

Much much easier than using a search engine, scrolling through the results which were half ads even in those days, and trying out the 12 different forums you finally found which were even active...
