ReactOS is an interesting project, but I think they've become mired in complexity.

> UEFI support in ReactOS is experimental and under heavy development. It is not yet ready for general use and is not currently present in our main repository. We currently cannot give an estimate as to when it will be done, so please stay tuned!

Implementing UEFI boot is not like switching a car from gasoline to electric. It's like using an adapter to switch between China electrical plugs and UK electrical plugs. It's not really a huge undertaking. Normally! I suspect that ReactOS has become so complex that simple things take a long time. Probably a lot of waves of developers have worked on this project. Probably it has seen better days.

It's probably a good space for someone to start from scratch and make a competing NT implementation.

(You were replying to my comment, so I took your comment in that context. My apologies is my reply is off the mark.)

The point being that you're still giving up some amount of personal liberty in order to be able to successfully interact with society, even if that interaction is minimal. You are still a part of that society. You are not completely independent of it.

My take is that the customizability comes from the init.lua being more right there for you to look at and modify. LunarVim comes with a great set of plugins, but whenever I want to customize something I have to go and start digging to figure out what and where it's happening, how to adjust around it, etc...
My preferred solution is rmlint [https://github.com/sahib/rmlint] mostly because it also looks at duplicate directories. It produces a bash script instead of deleting anything itself, so you can examine it before running the script it made.
Yes. If you are in jail in Illinois the Sheriff (or his deputies) have absolute discretion to set any level of punishment for any infraction. I challenged it through the courts, appellate courts as being violative of my constitutional rights (essentially that the punishment was excessive in relation to the crime), but they ruled against me, and for the Sheriff.
It's a decline in overall energy, presumably not in electricity.
You're framing this as a choice between SecureBoot and InsecureBoot, but it's actually a choice between SecureBoot and DRM, or InsecureBoot and no DRM.

Besides, SecureBoot isn't strictly better in all scenarios. The most obvious one is the one where you forgot how to log in, and want to retrieve your data.
I have similar feelings. I think programming is much more art than science.

There's a talk by Rich Hickey where he compares programming languages to musical instruments:

In my middle school 1983 we had similar, but with SC/MP uP, hex keyboard, 8 LED output port. We called it scamp, learning machine code and basics of architecture. Advanced students worked on a Cromemco, and we, dumbasses, we learned on that scamp.

> It feels like the US is overstretching its own diversity.

Something about this line is bothering me.

In the US, we're very diverse sure, but also that diversity comes with deep history of violence, struggle, systemic oppression, etc.

To many, current movements might come off like they're overstepping, but so much about our culture is so deeply steeped in the opposite. So much of our daily life has been structured around old deeply racist systems and as a population we're struggling to come to terms with the contradictions of concepts we were taught with the reality. We're taught we're a melting pot of cultures, yet there are so many atrocities in living memory that parts of the population wish would be simply forgotten.

So there is the counter swing of the "woke"(I hate that word and the complete corruption of the concept), which is an attempt to bring these subconscious ideas into the conscious level so we can think about them and confront them, rather than let them continue to simmer.

The overarching goal isn't to make all these things the standard, but to overshoot so that when the cultural tendon relaxes, it falls to a better place.

The "Woke" movements is an attempt to fight a cultural virus, and the remnants of the virus does not like it and gets defensive, and informs other parts of the body that this medicine is actually a virus in of itself. The goal isn't that the medicine becomes a permanent fixture, but that it brings to light the virus and allows the society to understand how to extinguish it.
According to Elon they were already adopting it in 2020, which is more than a year ago.

Until my kids are old enough to put to work maintaining the yard, it has been way more convenient to pay someone else.
They write because they enjoy writing, but they also need to make a living. Those things are not exclusive.
That's a highly unusual attitude for systemd. Most of the systemd architecture requires you to run systemd for everything if you use it at all. What changed?
When you read now or when you read at the time? I'm curious because context matters. Back in the 1990s when all this kicked off there was still a strong believe that RISC (vs CISC) was the future. There was a lot of circumstantial evidence to support this, most notably that the workstation and server spaces were dominated by RISC chips like Sparc, Alpha and MIPS.

I do believe that whoever drove the Centrino movement (from mobile originally to desktop) saved the company. They laid the foundation for Intel's next 15 years of success.

The original licensing agreement with AMD is an interesting part of Intel history too. Were that to happen today, it would probably be viewed as a disaster. In our modern era of short term corporate decision-making, it would probably be viewed negatively too.

But it led to Intel's complete dominance thanks to x86 for decades. It killed pretty much every other architecture (other than ARM). It's only in the last 5-10 years that dominance has really wavered.

Intel's big strength had always been their ability to fab chips at scale with low failure rate so the parts were hugely profitable. For decades the likes of AMD just didn't have that manufacturing capacity at the same scale and price. Intel led die-shrinking that was a huge driver to profits. It's only when they tried to move to 10nm that it all fell apart. Now TSMC has eaten their lunch. Intel is at risk of moving from being a first-party designer and fab of chips to producing third-party chips.

If someone woke up from a 20 year coma and you told them about Intel's market position and fate they would be shocked. That's how big of a fall from grace it's been. But that's largely on the fab side, not the design side. Only recently has the Core architecture really hit its limit where Intel CPUs consume too much power and run too hot to eke out the last ounce of power.

Itanium was a joint venture betwen HP and Intel. We can certainly look back now and say it was bad. I'm not convinced that determination was as easy at the time although it did have its critics.
I think it's just a very confusing, hard to use correctly behavior. And according to the article, very bug prone in implementations.

In the example given, the result is that both writes happened before both reads, which directly contradicts the source. There's a valid explanation for why it happens, but it's still paradoxical.

I remember at work a C++ standards committee member was giving examples of atomic and how to use them safely with different memory models, when someone pointed out his toy example for relaxed order was wrong. It took 5 people debating for a week to figure out what a safe/correct behavior would be. For a 10 line sample class.

As times your second question, the article recommends Hans Boehm's proposal to add a no-op conditional branch after the read. I guess it forces the load to be resolved and enforces a sequenced-before behavior on the individual threads. So at least one read must resolve before one write in the example.

OR still forms a semiring with AND, and that semiring operation is still called addition. OR is also like addition in saturation arithmetics. In those senses, it’s an additive operation, and it is indeed called logical addition:

No, in English there are many, many words for blue, some of which are only known by women and interior designers.

In english the amount of precision you use depends on the context and the shared referents. You could say "bud light blue" or 'greek blue' depending.

This is final energy demand and thus presumably includes energy used for heating and transportation that's currently provided via fossil fuels. In fact, that's the point: electrical motors and heat pumps are more efficient, and the final energy demand is reduced. In other words, demand for electricity goes up, total energy demand goes down.
Windows 10 IoT is supported till 2034.

Despite the name, this is a full fledge Windows Desktop. The full name is Windows 10 IOT ENTERPRISE LTSC 2021. It is the version I run on my PC.

99% of the PCs that can run Windows 10, can run Windows 11. The only problem is TPM, but if you burn your ISO to USB using Rufus, it has an option to disable TPM requirement.

Or you can also install Linux.

I don't see the problem here. Of course, it would be best if TPM was not an official (but skippable) requirement on Windows 11.

The article literally goes into pretty specific detail about how much energy rooftop solar could provide.
This doesn't differentiate between #1 and #2. It clarifies what is and what is not software development (for the purposes of Sec 174).

The question remains open: is the intent that all software development expense MUST be treated an amortized capital investment, or that all software development (fitting the description above) CAN be treated in that way.
The problem with systemd isn't that it's not packed with impressive things, it's how inextricable the things are from each other. systemd distros are practically whole new distros on the inside, designed by committee. Every part of systemd really wants to integrate with every other part, so while you can technically compile and run just part of it, it really wants you to use the whole thing and throw away all the things those parts replace.

In other words the complaints are political, not technical.
You would have to build lots of transmission, but the losses aren't particularly significant for high voltage lines — it's only about 1000 km from the Shetland islands to Southampton, and HVDC transmission losses are quoted at 3.5% per 1,000 km. Pricing seems to be a trade secret, but the suggested numbers on the Wikipedia page for the 8 GW cross-channel link were £110M for the converter stations and £1M/km for the undersea cable.

I know that a mere back-of-the-envelope calculation isn't worth much more than the used envelope it was written on (doubly so when it is based on guesstimates of the input numbers), but that would be only £1bn for 8 GW or £4bn for 32 GW (compared to actual average usage of 31.5 GW last year), which is the kind of thing that the British government shouldn't blink at but in practice actually faffs and fails at basically all the time.

(And the sector is theoretically privatised, so this would have to become a business investment, which in turns will have potential investors ask inconvenient questions like "What's the risk we have cheaper options in 10 years that make this power line redundant? And what about those fusion reactors I keep reading about in the Sunday Times? What if Scotland becomes independent and stops selling you the electricity?")
For IntelliJ, check out what you can do with the .ideavimrc file. You can turn pretty much anything into a vim motion and it has light plugin support as well. Also makes your setup portable.

If you do this, be careful how/if you publish your weights trained on OpenAI output as if they look into how it was generated and it becomes clear you broke the ToS, they'll most likely ban you from the platform.
There are still plenty of societies in the world where you can feel safe all of the time. On the Isle of Man where my family have lived you certainly never need to lock your house or your car. I've not lived there, but I heard it can be pretty similar in Japan or even Canada?
On the one hand, I can imagine some estimation solutions that all make me think about software installation progress bars.

But on the other hand, if this is a piece of equipment you use regularly, you'll learn pretty quickly how long each thing typically takes, and after that initial learning period, the fuzzy progress indicator is no longer very valuable, and doesn't seem worth investing the engineering and UX time (and resulting higher product cost).

As a software-oriented community, I understand the impulse to throw code at the situation, but this seems like a situation where the cost of doing so doesn't really help very much. And it might actually make things worse, since most users are conditioned to trust/believe the sensors/indicators they see, and a countdown that keeps dynamically changing/jumping/slowing will confuse quite a few people who don't understand why it's a hard problem to solve.

And I think it's worth noting that this is par for the course with most things related to food prep. I'm always looking up cooking times for various things until I memorize the things that I cook often, and this seems like just another case of doing a quick search for a timetable.

Mufflers? So there's actually some more nuance to this. Quiet mufflers on ICEs come with some efficiency cost, partly due to weight (for vehicles) and partly due to flow restriction of exhaust, particularly at higher flows, closer to the engines maximum output. Depending on the application, quieter mufflers are not always "better".
My understanding is that in the past you could try to make some random shader and tune it to make it look good/real in some condition, but then it will not look good in other conditions. With PBR you take more complex shaders, but they are based on real physics, and they will look good in almost all conditions.

Yes, it is. Another interesting thing from the local employment market is that an employee can't be fired for performance reasons (after the trial period).
They can only fire someone for absense, HR problems or part of a group layoff (10% of workforce minimum at once).
From what I understand, these TWhs refer to total energy usage, not electricity usage.

If you replace a ICE by an BEV powered by solar cells, you actually reduce the total TWhs because of efficiecy:

- ICE: 6L of gasoline per 100km, that equals to about 60 KWh

- BEV: 17KWh for the same distance.

The same applies to heat-pumps and some industrial processes.

It may make sense, but your interpretation (one I happen to agree with) is what I called #1 above. It is still unclear whether the IRS regards the rules as requiring interpretation #2 (in which paying someone to do software development MUST be treated as an amortized, capitalized R&D expense) or not.
Lol it's not my job to inform you. If you care enough do your own research.

They don't need the budget. If you are doing scraping for nefarious purposes then you already have access to large numbers of stolen credit cards to sign up for multiple OpenAI accounts. Or there are plenty of files around with thousands of OpenAI cookies you can use to borrow someone else's OpenAI account.
I think youve misread it. 1600TWh is the demand today. The 2900 figure is potential supply of wind and solar.
There's at least three kinds of videos on Youtube and friends.

The first are ones not related to making money in any way, someone doing their thing "for fun" or similar.

The second are ones where it might be someone's "day job" but the money isn't coming in through youtube ads. For example, a band putting their songs online for essentially free because money comes from fans going to concerts, buying CDs, or merchandise. Having the videos available essentially for free means that more people can discover the music and maybe become paying fans. Or a cook who's brought out their own book showing some of the recipes online hoping that people will buy the book. Or a martial arts school putting videos of some training or contests online hoping among other things that people will join up for real.

The third are the "content creator" ones where the author's whole business is the videos themselves and the ads are their primary revenue stream. It's not that there aren't some really good offerings in this space - there are - but if the choice is Youtube with the full ads/tracking/targeting soup or not at all, my life will carry on without this category.

JSON is often the format of an externally provided data source, and you don't have a choice.

And whatever language you're writing in, you usually want to do what you can to maximize performance. If your JSON input is 500 bytes it probably doesn't matter, but if you're intaking a 5 MB JSON file then you can definitely be sure the performance does.

What more do you need to know about "the stack" in this case? It's whenever you need to ingest large amounts of JSON in Go. Not sure what could be clearer.
Don't be mistaken here, I wish RISC-V to succeed. But I don't underestimate the "others": if it takes 20 years and [bm]illions of $ to take it down or sabotage it, they will. And expect it to come from the inside (like they did for linux gaming).

succeed: worldwide broad adoption, that with extreme performance all over the board: desktop/server/embedded/mobile on the best silicium process.
We've been building renewables for a while now, has it actually made any significant decrease in fossil fuel consumption?

"Despite further strong growth in wind and solar in the power sector, overall global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions increased again," said the president of the UK-based global industry body Energy Institute, Juliet Davenport.

https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/26/wrong-direction-fo...

That was some quick googling on my part, it seems not?

You can produce more energy via renewables and people will simply expand demand to absorb it, in much the same way you can build more roads and car usage will expand to congest it.

But certainly I'm not saying we should stop building more renewables, I just think people will happily use fossil fuels and renewables as much as possible because cheaper energy allows for better standard of living.
It's useful to keep these anyway, as if you make a change that accidentally changes the type of some function, the error message makes it immediately obvious what you did. Otherwise it's hard to tell whether you messed up the function or the caller.

Also having type annotations makes code reviews easier. Basically people's brains can use the same optimization that compilers do.
