At launch definitely was a decent little performer. That said, the 386 was probably launched shortly afterwards as well. The funny thing is that it wasn't until almost the mass adoption of high speed 386's and the 486 in the early 90's that we finally saw a lot of stuff that over took things the Amiga and SNES for that matter. A big part of that was VGA graphics via the VESA bus. The ISA bus did a lot to hold back video out put on these systems. Graphics was almost an afterthought by comparison.

I mean things like Commander Keen were considered really decent for side scrolling graphics on PC but would be seen as trivial on a system like the Amiga and maybe even the NES using early 80's tech. It was a long time until the PC could scroll graphics as smoothly as the NES could with Super Mario in 1985. Custom ASIC designs just had to so leverage back then. It is something we are moving back into nowadays with chiplet designs and SoC's in general. Just look at the processor blow outs on something like the M1/M2 to see this.
For us, we'd definitely prefer to play in person if we could. But like you mentioned, geography can be a real restriction. The times we have managed to play in person have been great.
So from the EU I cannot access at present the website of Moosejaw, one of REI’s major competitors, but I am sure that if you compare prices of gear between the two over time, one will be cheaper than the other when it has a sale at less than MSRP. Comparing prices across retailers and buying during limited-time sales is online shopping 101.

A gallon canister of Coleman fuel is $19 at REI, and $14.98 at Wal-Mart.
This even works on Mobile, though I'd have to look up the specific incantation to override this.

I think this might be it:

Is it for when I need to enable Github Advanced Security on all 2537 repos in my org (by adding a workflow file)?

People is been asking for hosted chroma, so here it is!
I live in Europe and haven't received a bag from a store in years. Recently visited the USA and they were being foisted on me left and right.

I submit that people will adjust to this, I sure have, and that the real solution is for more stores to do it so that it seems normal.
It’s always funny when you read something and think the exact opposite thing for every point.

I guess what initially converted me was dealing with a data flow that hovered at about 10 requests/min and then every hour jumped to 10k requests/min. Being able to do that without thinking about scaling or cost really changed the way I imagined data flows in the backend.

I guess now that I have boilerplate of code that works and its quickly deployed and tested with GH actions, I consider it a no brainer for most workflows.
They showed time and again that they don't want a too-wide developer audience. They already have too many apps, and see the choice fatigue in users. They want big companies professionally produce polished stuff that commands, say, $14.99 in app store, of which $5 is Apple's share. They want stuff like Beatmaker or ProCreate.

Small fry need not apply; if they insist, they should at least clear the threshold of owning a Mac and paying $100/year for the App Store license.
Not really the same feature. Typically, scroll-bar clicks will scroll by pages, while the little buttons will scroll by lines.

Also: using the little buttons, you can position the cursor once and then click repeatedly for repeated movements, taking you ultimately to the very top or bottom of the page. But when clicking the scroll bar, page movement generally stops as soon as the slider moves underneath your cursor.
So they argued basically the FPU was a coprocessor?

Ahhh 80386SX and 80387SX live again in spirit ...
At exit the preferred shares become common, and the common shares increase in value accordingly. I've seen even series E companies that kept their common share price to under 20% of the preferred share price. If you started on day X with a common share price of 20% of the last preferred share price, and the company was acquired on day X + 1 at a discount, say 60% of the last preferred share price after factoring in liquidation preferences, then your profit from the options is still 2x the strike price.

Loom is an odd case because the timing of their last round was simply perfect. It was announced in May 2021, which means the terms would've been set in Jan or Feb, when Tiger and other firms were on a rampage and competition to get into rounds was at its height. That last $130m has to have been on very favorable terms, not just the valuation but e.g. no crazy liquidation preference. So, unless Loom's founders made some inexplicably bad deals, I'd expect even recent hires to still make a little money. Nobody should be getting zeroed out.

You know,its funny, the most shocking part of this story to me is that most people still live in places where buying a bag at a register for 10 cents is an option at any store.

My god... I've been using iOS for ten years and your comment just made me realize you can actually press onto and grab the razor-thin scrollbar that disappears about a second of idle time. What a farce.
IIRC it was Win95... If you start the computer and do nothing for a while (30 seconds?) then a yellow arrow appears and moves to the start button, so people don't ges stuck the first time they uses Windows. (I can't find a an image.)

Many years ago, I used a similar approach in an internal webpage that the T.A. must use without training. In the hallway usability tests many got stuck. I added an animated gif that is initially transparent, but after a while a yellow arrow appears to point to the "next" button.
Let's include smooth scrolling in that list, too (whether scrolling with the mouse wheel or moving between words I Ctrl-F for on the page). Thankfully you can override this with uBlock Origin.
> I have come to a funny realisation recently. It's not my eyesight which is becoming worse, it's the UIs which are becoming worse.

We've hit peak usability about twenty years ago, in the Windows 2000 era. The screenshot in the article is actually from about that era, it's one of the early 10.x (10.3 I believe) OS X releases.
The outdoor industry as a whole had a covid boom and upped production/orders. Now it seems a lot of those sales were in a way borrowed from the future and they have a ton of inventory and lagging sales.
I think you might be able to use Stable Diffusion with the Depth ControlNet to take your exported image and convert it into a depth map that could then be fed into a stereogram app.
I think it's just become common belief among developers that scrollbars are bad... (facepalm)

How is it virtue signaling? They can either ship their products from one warehouse to their stores, then you drive and pick up your item. Or they can just ship it directly to you which presumably means the item travelled the same distance? Unless you live walking distance from REI?
That actually gives me a reverse accessibility problem on iOS, because I will try to drag-scroll at the edge of the screen but accidentally grab the scrollbar, which goes in the opposite direction.
It does work and has always worked. You're living in fantasy land.
Unions protect labor from the forces of capital who take advantage of them. See: the recent WGA strikes and the protections from AI work that they now work under.
Christianized Jews and Jews generally were spread throughout and beyond the empire. The persecutions, even postwar, were terrible but relatively localized and there is no reason to believe it involved the mass redaction of all existing documents (not even possible!) and then-unwritten oral histories (which then everyone, antisemites, Christians, pagans, all alike decided to maintain silence about even though they would have been delighted to show their enemies up with this evidence) except that it makes people feel clever to think so.

Even more incredibly, plenty of heretical documents did survive! People were one hundred percent successful absolutely crushing any leaks of a vast conspiracy to “justify the status quo” (why do you even think it needed justifying?) even against powerful groups that would not have wanted to…but couldn’t stop eg the Gnostics.

Most scholars don’t think that about the Old Testament either, although I have been learning lately it is very much in vogue on certain corners of the Internet. But at least that is in some respects at certain times more plausible depending on the specific text and time period being talked about, if very early. The Christianity conspiracy theories really aren’t. There’s no evidence for them whatever and yours in particular boggles belief, and is really not remotely feasible. This is basically the zeitgeist nonsense with a different spin.
Also there were those amazing garage sales, I have always stocked up on high quality hiking boots, almost new, with like 80%-90% discount. Thi was like 10 years ago, now I think they have a section and it's not anywhere as good in both selection and prices.
T-mobile bought mint though, so I expect you’ll have a few years before having to move on.
Unfortunately some people are taking you seriously. The whole scrolls are a huge amount of data, but for this First Letters prize using more than one GPU would be overkill. The amount of training data available is actually too small for deep learning to even work well.
I'm curious about the AI research job market in fields that aren't LLMs and RL. They're all the rage now, but what about researchers in fields like vision or graphs or more fundamental topics like optimization?
> Also, we wouldn't need "dark mode" or the such if the UIs had any contrast and were legible.

Contrast is a factor yes, but the other thing that's happened with the flat UI epidemic is banishment of mid grays and light grays in favor of stark white and off-whites, making "light mode" much more bright looking than it had been previously. It's no wonder people were clamoring for dark mode after blinding flat UI had taken over.
For context, REI employs 15,000 people at ~175 locations

As a kid, my dad (a mechanical engineer) explained this to me in a really memorable way. He was planning a model bridge building contest for my friends and me, and I complained that he was making too many rules. Allowed building materials, maximum qty of various things, etc. He pointed out that without these rules, it’d be perfectly acceptable to just fill the simulated valley with concrete—there’s no way that would lose the load bearing test. But it’s also not fun and defeats the purpose of the contest. _The constraints were important._ It’s the constraints that make it engineering. So you could use a beautiful piece of solid wood on the back of your dresser. But most likely that breaks the constraint of cost. Knowing where to save money on material without it getting noticed is where the engineering is.
The note to employees indicates the layoff is only about 2% of the company’s workforce so it would appear there’s a good deal of overlap.
> They're known for having a very open return policy

Since 2013 it appears to be a one-year return policy. That's shorter than the warranty on most of their clothing brands (basically "forever" excepting long underwear), and about equal to warranty on most of their footwear brands.

For "vectorizing" returns-- e.g., dealing with multiple pieces of clothing/gear-- it's probably quite convenient to be able to return a bunch of stuff at once to an REI physical location.

For a single item exchanges or replacements, it's probably just as easy going through the vendor's warranty form on their website. In fact, most of those companies have stellar customer service on the phone.

And I do mean stellar. Like, imagine the exact opposite of Gmail's tech support. Honestly, if you have a broken zipper on a recent Patagonia jacket or a cracked buckle on an Osprey pack, call their customer support and enjoy the maximally productive humane conversation with someone who is truly interested in helping you, the customer of their company. It may restore your faith in humanity (though potentially at the risk of making you question your line of work in ad tech, so be warned...)

Can someone tell me how to make the Mac os native scroll bar wider? It's infuriating trying to grab the little skinny bar. I'm asking here because it seems related and hopefully someone reading this works at Apple or has a solution.
As much as I dislike Musk and the mess Tesla has created with "Full self-driving", I don't think you can blame Tesla marketing for the public misconception of what an aircraft autopilot does.

Because, the Tesla autopilot feature is actually rather similar to a simple aircraft autopilot, with very similar limitations. At its core, it's really just a lane following driver assist, combined with adaptive cruise control. If you ignore the "adaptive" part, it's roughly equivalent to an aircraft autopilot in heading mode, plus autothrottle.

Tesla marketing did lean into that misconception, benefited from it and might have made it worse. But they didn't create it, and the public misconception predates Tesla by a long margin... it just didn't really matter before then.

From what I can tell, the misconception arises from the fact that the public know flying an aircraft is hard, the fact that pilots do so much training proves that. Therefore, they assume an aircraft autopilot must be advanced to handle the perceived complexity of keeping an aircraft stable in the air.

The introduction of autoland, and the way it was presented in magazine articles by journalists, probably made the problem much worse.
Not to mention shipping large orders is probably cheaper for them than hiring cashiers, and all the other expenses of a real store.
There are lots of things you can do to reduce child abuse, the problem is conservatives hate anything that means sex is not taboo. The result is that they block any kind of meaningful sex ed, and make manipulating and abusing children much easier - manipulating children by telling them people will think they're sluts, or their parents will abandon them, or better yet that the victims are responsible are all standard tricks of abusers.

Then you get the constant negligible sentences when "good" people are found to be pedophiles, the constant victim blaming in courts (apparently "well look how they were dressed", "they were drinking", etc are still real defenses in the US). Look at the abuse received by people who reported that "great" coach in the US, when suddenly sports was more important than child abuse. Then of course you have the constant church coverups that are routinely ruled legal, and then the victims get called scammers.

This is before you get to the abuse of children allowed by people who are trying to "stop their child being LGBT", which is literally torture, but again 100% ok because the people doing it are the conservatives who fight actual meaningful changes to protect children.

Instead what we get is police saying we need to have an unauditable system to report the content of people's phones with no warrant. Ignore the immense cost of false accusations, ignore the documented failures of these systems, ignore the incredible scope for abuse by other people (is it CSAM, or is just LGBT content? because plenty of US states and countries consider them equal). Is it reporting to parents? Plenty of child abusers will want to know if their children are looking at anything LGBT related so they have an excuse to abuse their children.

Or maybe it's protest pictures, or pro-democracy material - once you've shipped this for CSAM, plenty of countries will immediately say "now you can do that, also include this opaque database of criminal images".

Or it could be Iran saying "images of women without a hijab should be reported".

You need to understand, once you say "a persons device should report a specific kind of content on a device to any entity", the technology is in place, and the original "specific kind" becomes whatever the country says a legal requirement, and it's legally required to report to the government.
It's frustrating but unsurprising that this doesn't mention all the similar bills in other states that were found unconstitutional. I recommend Techdirt's article on it: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10/12/new-york-pushing-yet-ano...

It’s not exactly wrong from a business standpoint. The math just comes out that a business does better when they do all the things they can’t do if they want an accessible website. Dark patterns, especially, are very anti-accessibility.

It’s why we need laws to mandate accessibility.

I figured; it's just an important detail that "someone who lives in Utah" would know if they took the slightest bit of time getting to know or understand the religion that surrounds them. It follows that claims of "scam artist" and "magic plates" and "ancient Egyptians" may be dubious, as the person making the claim doesn't actually know the most basic story of the faith.
Fair enough, I guess. People got hung up on the details of the bot and big numbers, which in retrospect, is to be expected here. I was just trying to point out that you stand to lose a shit ton of money when doing a side-project that touches money. Bugs can really bite you in the ass in a very tangible way. The bot details are interesting, I'm not hiding anything there -- at first I was a bit cagey with the algorithm, but that was mostly because I couldn't even remember what branch in what repo it was hiding in. Then I found it, and was able to read the code.
I only said it 3 times.

I don't mean to say that everything should be authoritarian. But to maintain a good school for the students who go to a non-authoritarian school, there still needs to be some degree of punishment, or expulsions. Just like in a non-authoritarian government, people who commit violent crimes still need to be sent to jail for the safety of others. Once away from the others, they can be reformed and reintegrated back into a normal setting, where the teachers can trust students not to get into fights more, and kids can learn in a quiet environment where others also want to be high-achievers, or at least are motivated to not become drop-outs.

I just don't think there's enough of that in schools like the one I described. Sorry, I kind of let my past color my tone more than I should have.
I do not know if anyone is protesting the civilian deaths due to retaliation but that would be a worthwhile reason to hold a candlelight vigil or demonstrative march in support of the inevitable bystander victims and their families here.

If we were spiritually sound we would be holding mass gatherings in remembrance of all victims and in support of all innocent survivors. But that does not draw enough attention for us to have heard about one if it took place.
Where are these mythical schools "without enough resources to provide even the basics" ? They don't exist, this is a canard that won't die. Public schools in the US are funded extravagantly. The worst performing schools have the biggest funding per student.

Some kids want to learn, some don't. Some parents value education, some don't. Not even a billion dollars per student will change that.
(cd "$path" && [ "$(pwd -P)" = "$path" ] && chown -R buildkite-agent:buildkite-agent .)

the real question though is why they're trusting just Docker alone to isolate customers; if they want the jobs to effectively be a single user to the system, they can even use unprivileged user namespaces?
