Have you not seen modern attention spans? More moving parts means more chances for things to fly apart.
Why call it OeBB? Just saying ÖBB is no longer an issue in this day and age.
However, the movfuscator as implemented does still require a sigaction(2) syscall (via an INT 0x80 or similar) to set up a signal handler, under the justification that "it is not actually part of the program" and that "if we were in ring 0, we wouldn't need help from the kernel" [0]. The latter part seems a little dubious to me: without the help of the bootloader running non-MOV instructions, you'd never be able to escape from 16-bit real mode into 32-bit protected mode, since you wouldn't be able to load a valid GDT with the LGDT instruction.

You know, we're supposed to assume sincerity and general good intent to folks here...

But you know, you have to wonder just how many big business astroturfers there are here. We know the oil companies knew about climate change in the 70s, and buried it. It's not at all unbelievable that they would pay influencers and the like to peddle downplays of climate devastation, in order to slow responses.

Obviously, we don't know for sure, since accts here are semi-anonymous. But it would make a great deal of sense to sow confusion and condemnation and downplay the anthropocene.
Is VS Code a text editor? I wouldn't consider anything that has internet access permissions or a suite of 3rd party user plugins/extensions a text editor but that's just me.

Giving VS Code express permission to your home/filesystem (the default if you install it traditionally) is a security risk [0] [1] most people rarely think about.

Per passenger mpg between a train and a plane isn't all that far off. Planes tend to travel pretty full so per passenger mpg is pretty high, like 100mpg. You get better per passenger mpg with a train but the train needs to get decent ridership. Depending on where you are going, maybe the train and bus service doesn't get too much ridership and your flight in might actually work out to be the greenest way.
> The major reason I switched from iTerm to Alacritty is the config.

Exactly the same for me! My terminal config *must* be in version control. But iTerm2 keeps it in some sort of Apple Plist crap. It has a "dynamic JSON profile" feature but it's hard to use correctly.

Switching to Alacritty from iTerm2 has been fantastic; I don't miss anything. I don't use tabs; I use tmux. I need an OS-wide "hotkey" but a few lines of hammerspoon seem to do that perfectly.
Is there any reason to believe that they are properly operated?
>I couldn't understand how ~2 million years of evolution with woodsmoke hadn't rendered us completely immune

There's strong evidence for use of fire going back only .5 million years. More importantly, all existing humans are descended from a population that lived in sub-Saharan Africa till 70,000–50,000 years ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recent_African_origin_of_moder...

Although that population probably used fire before migrating out of Africa, they probably did so only for cooking and to keep wild animals away and almost never used fire indoors.

Bitbucket was the original Mercurial hosting site. They only added git years later after it was clear that Mercurial had (at best) stalled, and removed Mercurial when it was clear that no one cared about it anymore.
I'd disagree with your statement about NYC being the only one. The Chicagoland CTA, Metra and NICTD (Indiana) is certainly not at its best, but is nonetheless at the very least "semi-functional".
Any thoughts of more expecienced Docker users are appreciated
Thanks for testing and going the info! Firefox is about 40% slower than Chromium-based browsers and Safari for us, we focus on the default browser on each platform so Firefox isn't tested often. Firefox also accounts for about 0.4% of our traffic and their performance analysis tools aren't very deep, so unfortunately it's hard to justify allocating time to improve there.

We also can't load in 2 seconds on any device we can run on. There are obviously some devices that ship Chrome on Android that can load the game, but are incredibly slow. So yes, not always 2 seconds!

Finally, we still have a huge amount of known performance we can gain in our loading, so I do hope I can come back in the future and show that 2 second loading on a lot more devices!
you can run it with `--single-instance` (or `-1`) and you only pay (most of) that startup cost once.

Unclear. If structured as a promise, it could be considered backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. That’s Constitutionally protected.
> Generally in many places you would only be put in jail if you possess medium/large amounts of drugs and/or the state can prove that you intended to distribute them.

Ordinary users often possess "medium" amounts of drugs, i.e. what might reasonably be a one month supply for an individual, which prosecutors will then claim proves intent to distribute, when it proves no more than that a user might prefer not to interact with drug dealers more than once a month.

They often even possess "large" amounts of drugs, when the drug dealer cuts the drug 1000:1 with whatever trash and then the cops want to charge you based on the amount of white powder you have instead of the amount of the actual drug.

The problem is that it's completely plausible for an ordinary user to have more of a drug for their own use than a dealer needs to sell at any given time. The dealer really only needs to have in their possession the amount being sold to the current user.

If amounts below that threshold aren't illegal then actual dealers could feasibly avoid having more than that amount. If amounts smaller than that are illegal then you're putting users in jail. You can't have it both ways.

Pharmacies, drug stores, convenience stores. The same places people buy bourbon and aspirin without having to worry that it's full of methanol or has been spiked with fentanyl or contains 5000mg when the last batch was 150mg.
Yup, the limit is 80 chars so it needs to be chopped. In this case the suffix is more informative than the prefix so I've swapped out "We deserve better from Apple" above. Thanks!

Ah interesting! It's great to know what the expectations are! I'll think about doing that in a future post once we've done some more optimization!
To try and play devil's advocate:

- They let users access a FAQ-like experience anywhere in your app. This is already easily done using tabs but it may help less technical users.
- They often include a way of escalating to a real human.
- I personally (and many others) find textual communication less stressful than a phone call. It probably lets the CS rep on the other end juggle more customers at once too.
No, this was in Madrid to Barcelona on Renfe.
yeah. there are plenty of reasons. I do think the shift to the client(nat)/server(default-free) model did alot of damage. ATM was also a huge suckhole that killed momentum. and I think ISP just stopped listening to what the ietf had to say for the most part.
In the UK recently, there has been a designation of 'smoke-free' areas, specifically as a result of research done on the harm to health caused by PM2.5 particulates. It's become quite popular for middle-class homes to fit multifuel stoves (i.e., wood, coal, whatever) in order to heat the main room of their house. Largely because they look nice but there is some argument to be made that with the cost of living increasing, especially around energy, that it is somewhat economical to do so - particularly if you have access to free/foraged wood. The idea is you can still use these stoves so long as the fuel you are burning is considered 'smokeless', which in reality isn't actually smokeless but refers to wood that has a moisture content between 15-20%, as well as a number of commercially-available fuels you can buy from large hardware stores like B&Q and some supermarkets.

Another development that personally affects me is that local councils are now able to start enforcing this 'smoke-free' thing on owners of narrowboats[1]. For those that don't know, the UK has a 2000 mile network of inland canals on which thousands of us live, in canal barges of about 7ft beam. In the winter, a lot of these boats' primary method of heating our homes is using multifuel stoves. It's an itinerant lifestyle that can be hard at times but incredibly freeing and requires one to live somewhat more in tune with the seasons. A lot of boaters don't have a ton of money and primarily fuel our stoves with foraged wood at varying levels of seasoning (the process of drying wood to reduce moisture content and make it burn better and cleaner). For instance, this year I got a knock on the roof of my boat by a tree surgeon, informing me we needed to move our boat as they had to chop down an ash tree that had succumbed to ash dieback [2]. I asked if I could take some of the wood and he said no problem, saves them a bit of work getting rid of it. And that's now my wood for the winter. We are, of course, aware of the health hazards of groups of boats burning not the best wood, but a large percentage of live-aboard boaters really don't have any other option.

Sorry, not particularly relevant to the article posted but I thought it worth mentioning that there are cases where not burning things to stay warm in winter is not an option for some groups of people.

I've in the camp of never noticed my terminal emulator being slow. Used iTerm2 for 10 years, switched to Alacritty recently for reasons unrelated to performance. Before iTerm2 on Linux I don't really remember what I used but I don't remember it being slow. Haven't noticed scrolling speed being slow, and I don't get this "insert latency" obsession.
“It looks gpt-generated.”

See, this is an example of a contentless ad hominem.

Believability weighting is when you say, “Here’s proof this argument is bad. The community from which this argument originates makes these types of bad arguments frequently. Therefore we should believe that community less often.”

SMT off fixing it is a good clue. It heavily points to the problem being within a core rather than between execution cores. That's still a broad area though. Within a core some state is inadvertantly shared between the shared threads running on it but there's a lot of possibilities of what that could be.
That’s such a strange criticism given how keen the designers of RISC-V have been to push macro-op fusion.
Yeah. Any time I wait for my computer to do something I think about this. In the 4 seconds discord took to open, my computer could do what, 5 billion operations per second per core? Even single threaded that’s 20 billion steps? And my internet connection could have delivered 600 million bytes of data - enough for a complete copy of windows xp. It’s wild.

Not just security exploits, also breaking updates.

And plugins are unavoidable in the WordPress ecosystem unless you really just need a simple personal blog. Together with the security need to constantly upgrade due to the many vulnerabilities makes it a big headache. You can't afford to leave some updates slide and then you have to deal with all the incompatibilities and issues of plugin updates.
Your assembly automation also affects screw choice. Some screw heads register better/faster than others depending on the size. This affects your line speed. A line might also be building sub-assemblies that are shipped to different lines with different equipment and this a whole different set of optimized part sizes.

Indeed. The "apt" frontend was added in 2014 and included in a stable release in 2015.

This doesn't square with the fact that the standard American diet is known to be unhealthy and a cause of pre-diabetes.

If I eat something allergenic, start experiencing a reaction, then later cut the offending food out of my diet, it doesn't mean I am in remission from my allergy; it means I am avoiding the cause of an allergic reaction.
A lot of large ships use air lubrication systems to reduce fuel use, it's typically a system of compressors connected to ports with lots of tiny holes at the bottom of the hull. As I understand it, it reduces effective wetted area and thus surface tension drag.

So if you used a wind turbine to drive the compressor then it's fair game I guess? Maybe that makes it more of a windmill ship than a sailboat though.

I've not used it, because I'm happy with (neo)vim for my dev needs, but I thought that's what it did?

If VS Code isn't used to edit text, what is it for?

Edit: (neo)vim and emacs both have 3rd party extension ecosystems, with extensions written in languages that can access the internet, so I'm not sure how that affects your test?

Instead of working fixed hours, I frequently spread out my work throughout the day and week. This is a distinct part of Formspree culture, that comes from how my cofounder and I prefer to work.

We encourage our team to choose their own hours, so if you don’t feel like working a particular afternoon, you can just take it off. On the flip side, when you feel the itch to get something done on the weekend, it’s ok to push code.

What?? Push code on the weekend??? I hope the people at Formspree enjoy being inconvenienced at totally random times for when someone breaks something on a weekend!

apple is not selling to data centers

given there use case of

- premium consumer only products

- which are mostly portable and have a low thermal budget

- which are by most users hardly ever run on full throttle

- a well documented tendency to proclaim any hardware failure as user fault

makes this quite viable for them

but if you run systems with 4TiB of RAM and 12k+$ CPU which is most time running full throttle potential for days at a time with a higher thermal budged and customers which might have docents or even thousands of such CPUs and will be very pushy about reclaiming any failure they think isn't their fault then having to replace over 20-50k$ just isn't viable (instead of ~1-3k...)
the section on "non quid pro quo" patronage perfectly sums up what i want out of the site, to the extent that i never even log in to look at "patrons-only" stuff. i pay to support artists who are sharing things with the world, so that they can continue to do so.
Interesting. I will be curious to see how it stacks up against Jackson Smile, both in terms of features and performance. Since it appears to support both polymorphism and back-references, it looks like it already has some advanced features.

This is why the game is really screwed up. To make these decisions when coming up with carbon credits, or any other decisions regarding resources in a market, policy makers have to defer to industry because they simply don't understand industry and will never have the time to fully understand it like a domain expert would. Now, its not necessarily that the industry's own scientists and experts are corrupt, but that the business models naturally disincentivize hard truths if they come at a cost to profit. Shareholders don't want to hear that their investment is being taxed above others in this case. They will hire lawyers to fight fight fight their battle until its won. There is no opposition here to that, no balance to that sort of reaction, so it continues unimpeded towards this way just as easily and unstoppable as a gunpowder reaction to flame. As such, as soon as you think about putting a restriction on industry, it will serve to benefit investors of that industry first and foremost as it will be penned by that same industry you seek to regulate.
few things

- humint in gaza is hard (unlike in west bank). there are estimations that they didn't use phones/internet for planning so sigint didn't work

- after "traditional" protests on the fence that went on for a while Israel thought that it bought some quiet with giving more work permits in Israel and allowing money transfers to Gaza (this is how it usually works). The outcome of this was transfer of good chunk of combat forces that is usually stationed around Gaza to west bank to some counter-terror activities in past few weeks

- as opening move hamas bombed from drones observation towers with cameras which are positioned along border essentially blinding IDF.they also bombed and burned down some kind of communication center of IDF in the area what created communication and coordination problems
How does shoving more people into the subway system help? The income? The trains are packed on the 'in the office ' days like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And pre pandemic the 45, F and other trains were rush hour torture. Now more apartments are built. But the trains run less frequently.

But we're installing elevators everywhere and making all stations accessible, and that, plus the ridiculous running of trains overnight, are priorities.
Almost all software that Debian packages is 3rd-party. The issue is usually that software like Sublime Text or VS Code is non-free. That is not in itself an impediment for being packaged; after all there is the "non-free" section of the archive. However, often non-free software is also not free to be distributed by third parties. Thus, Debian would break the law if they did.

You don't need to adapt your software that much to have it run on Linux distributions; there are standards that the distributions implement that you can rely on. Often software that claims to only support one particular distribution will run perfectly fine on others. Linux distributions are not unfriendly towards third party software, but they have no obligation at all to spend effort to make that software work, it's the third parties that should do that work.

The bug tracker being email based is because when Debian started, that was the normal way to communicate on the Internet (besides IRC). A lot of tools were built on it, and the Debian developers themselves are used to it, so there is little incentive to change this.

The Debian developers would say that apt is not buggy; it's just that if there are conflicts, they have to be resolved in some way, which means deleting some of the conflicting packages. It also does ask you to confirm in this case. Although it would indeed be better if it would detect this is a very unsatisfying solution.

"In short, they're paying contract workers for quantity, not quality;"

How do you know this?

Just taking a wild guess, but I'd think a company with billions of funding, and a ton of people trying to find flaws in what they are producing, would have some processes in place to incentivize quality as well as quality.

What you are suggesting is that a company that produces a product that is based on balancing trillions of floating point numbers makes core business decisions in the most simplistic black and white terms. "Hey, lets just go with a one and a zero on this." Bizarre assumption.

Maybe I'm just good at prompting, and I'm not trying to trick it, but I don't see this "superficially convincing bullshit." Can you show me a chat where you have sincerely prompted it and gotten something that matches that description?

I often see responses that are better than I could have given even if given hours to research and compose them, and I'm a pretty good writer and researcher.

Here, since I'm asking you to share one where it fails as you say it does by creating "superficially convincing bullshit", I'll share several where it succeeds.
