Well duh: you use prioritised queues precisely when there is a capacity limit. In lots of cases, the facility is specifically mandated to achieve as close to full capacity as possible.

Which is not to agree with the claim that latency queues and priorities can't achieve latency goals. Your hard requirements establish a minimum viable capacity, and you fill in the bubbles with softer work. Priorities let you distinguish between hard and soft, and to offer fairness among soft.

Not trying to be trite, but I imagine you don't know ASL. It is an extremely loose and context dependent language really.

It's disingenous to suggest that indigenous tribes should have some fixed set of behaviors.

On hacker news someone told me a another name for this pattern: "Functional core, imperative shell". edit: I see other people have mentioned it.

One of the biggest issues with this pattern is if there's a ton of IO that's necessary for the application. If that's the case you'll see that the "bread" of the sandwich's is gigantic while the "meat" is very small and tiny.

This is the case with most web applications. The bread is sort of the main problem though but with this pattern we don't actually attempt to solve that problem, instead we just try to segregate the main problem away from pure code that intrinsically doesn't have that problem anyway. Don't get me wrong. The segregation is correct, but the problem of IO and mutating state is still unsolved.
I think web3 works for stuff like dropbox, so like dedentralized cloud computing services but has issues with things that tap into the real world like uber or airbnb in the sense that there needs to be a centralized place for support issues.
Factoring in government incentives is a tricky thing. See college loan forgiveness.

I already own an EV and can't cash in retroactively on the latest government incentive without purchasing another. But I could probably find some loop hole and sell my used EV to my neighbor, then buy my neighbor's identical EV and we both qualify. We don't exchange any money, but each file for some thousands of dollars from the government.

If the government lets even the purchase of used vehicles qualify, and lets you qualify, say, once a year... my neighbor and I can just keep trading cars every year and get paid.

But that doesn't seem to be any valuable way to calculate TCO.
It's disingenuous to suggest that if the tribe tries to restore a river ecosystem that some other party is trying to force a lifestyle on them.
large companies have departments. communication between departments about discrepancies can be slow, allowing fraud to fly under the radar for quite some time.
I guess these advertisers own stores, eg clothing. The marketers also only need to compare between multiple campaigns, not get a fully accurate count of how many people were served an ad then made a purchase. Yeah, if you use a Visa card you won't show up, but that's just a fixed unknown factor.

> The problem is, a CRT TV draws frames in real time. The Nintendo knows that when it draws a frame, that frame drawing is corresponding with the moving electron beam of the television in real time. In fact, NESdev claims that the photodiodes use have their signal die in as short as 10 scanlines, so the game needs to check more frequently than the 60Hz clock that usually governs an NES game.

Hell, my solar panel (which reacts slower than a photodiode) has its response to green/blue phosphors die in 1-2 480p scanlines (which last half as long as 240p scanlines)! Though if hooked up to a high series resistance, it takes a looot longer for the charge to dissipate.

I suspect the difference in switch-off times between a Zapper and Light Phaser is related to the support circuitry (https://hackaday.io/project/9782-nes-zapper-video-synth-ther..., capacitors? transistors?!) translating the photodiode's signal to the controller pin. Series capacitors will block continuous light, and higher resistances will make a short signal last longer before dissipating.

> This would take a lot of frames to check every single letter if this worked the same way as the Zapper.

You could binary-search to find which letter was shot, though this would obviously fail if the user is moving the light gun between letters. It would probably be more reliable if the lit-up region wasn't just a small box but the entire grid cell.

> But look at what we’ve done here: the Master System is literally reading in-line with the electron beam. This means that for this to work, you really do need an electron beam that moves in sync with the VDP. An LCD just won’t give you that moving dot, no matter how much delay you add.

What's the latency of CRT composite chroma decoding? (EDIT: http://www.hawestv.com/mtv_color/delayline.htm says luma is delayed by 1.3 us to match chroma. Compare to the total scanline duration of 63.7 us, or visible duration of around 51 us.)

How many pixels does that shift the light gun? (1.3 / 51) * 256 px = around 6.5 pixels. It's possible that Master System games compensate for this delay using an empirically tuned horizontal offset.

It just so happens the tribes are celebrating the removal and restoration of their traditional way of living, so I guess we should blame them for it.

Unfortunately I can not find any session manager that can compete with Session Buddy:

* Tab Session Manager loads ALL of the sessions when you bring up the interface, in my case causing it to consume all of the CPU for a good couple of minutes.

* Tab Session Manager does not present me with currently open incognito windows and tabs.

* Sessionic opens tabs in NEW normal (not-incognito) windows when you click on them.

In contrast, I can simply and quickly open Session Buddy and be greeted with a full page (so not just a pop up window) overview of currently open windows and their tabs, when I click on one of them, I'm taken to that tab in that window. If I click on a tab which isn't open (in a previously saved session), then the tab opens in an incognito window.

Seems that only Session Buddy has this behavior currently.

I found their approach to writing lyrics extremely interesting. They're not singing words in the beginning, just syllables and "word shapes". The music is dictating what the words should sound like, and they fill in the meanings behind the word sounds retroactively over time. The lyrics are being molded like a lump of clay where you don't know what you're going to end up with when you first start. Just pushing around clay until it looks nice.

> compare Noahideen

That's not a standard English term, I think you mean to say "Noahide". I am guessing you are getting your information from non-English sources.

In contemporary use, "Noahide" primarily refers to a religious movement which is a sort of "Judaism lite", of people who accept Orthodox Judaism's theological beliefs without formally converting to Judaism, and without following the vast majority of Orthodox Judaism's rules and rituals.

But, I think what you are actually referring to, is the concept in Jewish religious law (halacha) of "ger toshav", which is a non-Jew permitted to reside in the land of Israel. Formally speaking, contemporary Noahides by religion do not have the legal status of "ger toshav".

It is true that there are some clear parallels between "ger toshav" and "dhimmi" status. However, at the same time, there is a very fundamental difference – the Jewish laws of "ger toshav" have not been enforced in practice since the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 CE. The Rabbis engaged in a lot of development of those laws (as an abstract intellectual exercise, not a practical matter) since 70 CE, and so those laws as they currently exist in Orthodox Judaism have never been enforced in practice, and for all we know their pre-70 precursors were rather different. The State of Israel has never recognised the laws of "ger toshav", and the majority of Orthodox Rabbis believe they are impossible to apply in the current scenario (in which the Jewish Temple no longer exists, etc). Indeed, the majority of Orthodox Rabbis believe that the laws of "ger toshav" are not to be put into practice until the Messiah comes. There is a small minority of Jews who believe they can and should be applied today (such as the followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane), but that minority has never had the political power to put their beliefs into effect.

By contrast, dhimmi status has been a real thing in the Islamic world, not just a theoretical thing, for many centuries. There are a lot of disagreements between different schools of Islamic law (madhabs) on what the exact rules of dhimmi status are, and very often what Islamic scholars have insisted should be done in theory has had little to do with what actually happened in practice. Still, it doesn't really make sense to compare what has been, for the past 2000-odd years, a purely theoretical/hypothetical legal construct, with a legal construct which has actually been implemented in practice (to varying extents and in varying ways) in many societies for more than half of those 2000-odd years.

In the fonts I use, I've never noticed a difference between hyphen/dash/endash/minus. But (as alluded to in the intro of the submitted message) some fonts will render it differently. I would not be surprised if various screen-reading software handles them differently.

TOFU is secure if you verify the host key fingerprint against information received via a sufficiently secure channel.

That most do TOFU wrong¹ does not make TOFU itself insecure.

Most do do TOFU wrong though. In DayJob I run an SFTP-to-Azure-storage relay⁴ for clients to send automated feeds from third-party systems via that method⁵, and it wasn't until one client reported getting the wrong fingerprint that we noticed we were outputting the UAT and Live system values back-to-front in the on-boarding details, and had been doing for some time so at least a few other clients⁶ had just blindly accepted a different fingerprint to the documented one…

[1] Anyone else remember way way way back² when browsers stopped trusting self-signed certificates, or at least started shouting loudly about them? There was many a heated discussion with some who kept repeating “well TOFU is good enough for SSH” and wouldn't accept that 1. TOFU isn't as secure as they think it is the way they are using it and 2. They were accepting the risk for only themselves³ with SSH & TOFU-done-a-bit-wrong, which might be OK to them, but with HTTPS+TOFU on public sites they were essentially making that risk choice for everyone, which is not OK.

[4] Until recently there was no built-in support for this in Azure, and the recently-left-preview implementation is ~£186 per month per storage account which works out very expensive for our current storage-account-per-client layout (so without a refactor that might breach our client data separation policies running a small VM⁷ with my BIY service built around Blob-FUSE works out far cheaper)

[5] We offer “more modern” APIs for such things too, but SFTP is still the most widely supported method (often the only supported method) by the other software/infrastructure used by our clients

I'd say Korea counts as a US win or stalemate, but Vietnam ended with the US achieving none of its objectives, having wasted tons of lives and leaving in a humiliating fashion. Is it so weird to call that a defeat? In that case it's 50 years, given that Afghanistan ended in '21 in similar fashion.

Are you just taking issue with 70 years being hyperbole? If not, I have to say this idea that the US didn't lose a lot starting with Vietnam is weird. In fact, it seems like exactly the kind of delusional self-talk among the leadership that would lead to such situations reoccurring. I mean, suppose I get in a fistfight and get knocked down then don't get up. Can I really say I chose not to get up because I didn't want to hurt the guy too badly and I therefore didn't lose? Even if it's true, it just means I lost on purpose.

CMV: Advertisers should push back against YouTube banning ad blockers
Youtube seems hell bent on getting rid of adblockers doing everything short of inserting the ads as frames in the video from the server side.

The fact that a user has an adblocker installed is a clear message: they do not want to see ads. Advertisers may be racking up views, but if the viewers have no interest in engaging with advertisements, there is no return on investment. Advertisers may see their spending increase with no corresponding increase in sales to offset the increased views thus this is just a handout to Google.

> It means that somebody must properly recompile, test, fix bugs, integrate, and package the software package into existing distribution.

Recompile, yes. The rest, probably not - upstream usually does that better than any distro. Distro-specific bugs are usually caused by that distro's changes made to "integrate" the package into the distro, which are usually not something the user wants. Again, hence the popularity of PPAs and Snap/FlatPak.

> Fedora often publishes even pre-release versions of some software packages, if you want to talk about "latest" version.

Fedora has the resources to do that because they're managed by a huge company, and they're big enough that upstream will likely make changes to accommodate them. Most distros aren't on that level.
