I had trouble with 5x5 when starting out. It was billed as simple and foolproof, but my form was lacking. I am hyper-mobile, so this means I really have to train proprioception, and probably not make the most gains in the shortest amount of time.

This is something I didn't know I didn't know, and I had to learn the hard way. It doesn't mean 5x5 is bad, it just didn't fit for me when starting out initially. Lifting forums have a tendency towards the idea that, "you aren't special, just do these things" because they have a lot of people descend upon them with too many questions.

But sometimes things aren't working, and you need to adjust.
just don't read it if you have a problem with it. and don't waste your emotional energy on hating it. there are a ton of books out there that you would love, why spend your time thinking about books you don't like?

let the readers read what they want, let the writers write what they want, and don't judge people based on their reading preferences. even if it's rupi kaur.
> Interesting that only 0,06% are using Win 7 which I would name MS' last good OS.

No DirectX 12 support for Win 7. And even games that don't require DirectX 12 now usually support Windows 10 and up. Sometimes because they don't want to test on older OS, but Windows 10 has legitimate API improvements that are worth taking advantage of.

On top of that of course the general security reasons not to use an unmaintained OS release.
Sorry, I meant cardio isn't super important for losing weight if you are already resistance training.
My motivation to do at least a little bit of exercise every day to build up a routine stems directly from my back aching when I pick up my kid. I don't want it to ache! I want to play with my kid :P
Thank you for that. I had never encountered this film. I think parallels could also be drawn to the (highly underrated) Counterpart Series, where a researcher in Berlin accidentally creates a portal to a parallel earth and a cold war between the two world ensues.

I'm curious what about Fedora specifically makes the difference for you? I started using Cinnamon with Mint (derived from Ubuntu, Debian) last year and also found it a big improvement from Windows.
I think judges will continue to enjoy sanctioning lawyers for quoting fake cases. It's pretty easy to check if the citations are real or not. The legal system is not some API you can just spam with bullshit. There are serious consequences for doing that. The fun part comes when the Woke API refuses to make arguments for case law that goes against its woke programming.
I'm not too surprised about gamers aligning with a somewhat minimal rolling distro that is quick to update packages, especially considering how comparatively slow the other big distros are.

Arch is in general a quite popular and quite decent distro, and the complexity of using it has decreased quite a lot in my opinion. I still wouldn't recommend it if there's a risk I end up having to handhold the person afterwards though.
This is why the only thing I bother taking photos of is my kids/family. If I'm visiting Delicate Arch, will my photo of it be any better than one of the millions of others I could find instantly by googling? Will I return to that photo and enjoy it later? No. (Actually good photographers, feel free to ignore this comment).
This already happens to an extent though?

Replace LLM with "clerk" and "generated case notes" with "copy pasted from my standard legally approved phrasing" playbook. Government workers who fill out standard reports already have standard forms pre filled with the results they know they are landing out, with certain sections that differ ready to be edited while the rest stays the same, look at things like warrants as an example. When I worked a government job i was literally handed templates by my supervisor of "pre approved ways to phrase things", that they percieved would help avoid lawsuits or any contest.
You do understand that biology is complex and multifaceted, and aging/healing is more complex than "oxidative stress bad", right? The body does double/triple/n-tuple with almost every biomolecule. "Inflammation" (which isn't a single process) is widely vilified but it's absolutely necessary to grow and heal.

> signing code

...is baked into git, and is something I've used at my last two employers. You could daisy-chain a bunch of tools together for that, but why? And getting back to the original point: code signing isn't usually possible on "low-code" tools.

> there's more care over the code.

I think what you mean is "the minimum threshold of carefulness required of everyone at all times is higher." I don't think it's true to say "when you toss out industry-standard safeguards, everyone does better at never making any mistakes." I do, however, think it's true to say "when you toss out industry-standard safeguards, the likelihood of making a mistake is higher because of unfamiliar, imprecise, and/or buggy tools, and the cost of each mistake is higher."

This gets back to my original question about low-code tools: when (not if) a human makes a mistake, do low-code tools guarantee fast and simple rollback? Often the answer is "no."

> domain knowledge of the whole system is more valuable than "git skills"

This is just a strawman. No job where I've ever worked has valued "git skills" over systems knowledge — and even if you dug up a job where that was the case, that's a shortcoming of the company culture, not of the tool. In my experience, it's more common that companies value low-code-tool skills over domain knowledge, usually because they've gotten locked into their proprietary low-code tool already and are unable to select from the total pool of developers unless they're able to do a wholesale rewrite, and must instead prioritize "knows Pentagon" or "knows Salesforce" etc as their top hiring priority, instead of "understands software architecture".
Heapsort is best and worst case O(n log n), does not require a stack, and the code is simple; more complicated than shellsort but no so much that you'd notice. I feel like heapsort is always a better choice than shellsort, no?

If I were to make a list of 50 algorithms that every programmer should know, I can't imagine why I would put bubblesort and shellsort on the list, but include neither heapsort nor quicksort.
I prefer Windows, actually.

I think the problem with this argument is that you think the user wants the source code. I agree that would be great ideologically but 99.999% of the people using computers couldn't care less. Not just non-developers but even the best programmers would rather just pay money to not have to fix someone else's bugs. Nobody wants to waste their time replacing libraries. They just want to use software. If we're being pragmatic about what is good "for the user" then the best thing for the user is that there are as few obstacles as possible for developers to create products for the users to use.

If we consider the dichotomy of use the viral license or make no software, then the user will always prefer to have software that exists in proprietary form than having no software at all. If a company doesn't like GPL, they'll simply not use GPL code, and maybe not using GPL means their product is not viable anymore because they have to rewrite everything themselves, and now something that was going to be made isn't going to be made because they can't get free labor. Is that good? According to GPL and FOSS, yes. According to the user that wanted to use that piece of software, no.

I have to add this feels so awkward because every time there's a thread about AI you'll find someone saying that the fact that data is copy-able renders copyright a thing of the past, and then you turn around and you see GPL and no-no-no-no-NO! You want to copy MY source code, my LABOR, and use it for free in your proprietary products? That's completely unfair! And next week there's a new OpenAI lawsuit and everyone's like "if you didn't want to get scrapped, shouldn't have posted it on the internet." It's so awkward.

This doesn't change the fact that the Taiwanese status is de jure unresolved and will constitute a never ending basis for conflict and tension.

This tension can only be relieved by de jure integrating Taiwan in Chinese statehood under very huge degrees of autonomy, which no one, let alone Taiwanese people ever trust or by unilateral statehood declaration (which has no support internationally, least of all in US since Taiwan not declaring independent statehood is the entire basis of the US-Taiwan relations act).
they seem to focus on correctness over features. So jails for example would be a lot of complexity.

Rust, if I am not mistaken, has some quirk with the compiler backend that OpenBSD does not like.

Theo also mentioned:

>Such ecosystems come with incredible costs. For instance, rust cannot even compile itself on i386 at present time because it exhausts the address space.

Regardless: The system being secure is a secondary benefit to it being comprehendible and coherent to an individual. It's not enough for the output of a magic box to be a better widget, even if the widget is better in every measurable way. The box itself must not be magic.
Try to go to a bubble outside US or countries with the same kind of life and salaries.

You will find plenty of Windows, and developers for the users of them.

Linux will be around in server rooms, embedded, and those VMs used by everyone that doesn't want to spend time dealing with dual boot issues on laptops as if it was 2000.
I tried windows a while ago and the things you described were driving me insane. I honestly don't understand how that gets shipped. Doesn't anyone care? I'm assuming most devs and PMs are on Mac anyways so they don't even see the mess

Getting games to run on Linux often requires tinkering and the people who like to partake in this stuff and have the skill for likely run one of those “hardcore” distros like Arch.

Those who don’t want to tinker and stick to already supported games would probably just run SteamOS to begin with (or a proprietary OS).
>>They have already proved time and time again to be able to make gigantic leaps, some of those, completely on their own in the sector.

Yes, we shall see. An awful lot of those giant leaps were extremely dependent on technology that was either systematically forced to hand over from democratic countries, or outright stolen by espionage (see their fighter jet vs F35, and some sub technologies).

Have the Chinese managed to reach critical mass of knowledge to continue to advance? Time will tell. But, if Russia is an indicator, even leadership in some areas will slow, stagnate, then become dependent on outside sources [0]. Notice also that Russia is dependent on outside sources even for CNC machines, in which it used to lead, with China's exports increasing 10X after Ukraine invasion [1].

Yes, installing things manually is always an option (even in Ubuntu!), but I wondered if in Pop it was an option to "apt install firefox" and get your package installed the "old way", with no sandboxing, using shared libraries from the system, allowing for upgrading with "apt upgrade" the moment you decide, etc. But if PopOs repo is flatpak based as you say, I guess the answer would be no.

The part about making EMs responsible for the financial investment or at least some inkling of the cost/benefit part of change budget has been one we've started upon a few months back. I think that can be a rewarding trajectory, but to be honest - there is a chasm between the easy with which management controllers (my team) think about these things and boots on the ground type of work of keeping our delivery teams of say 10 programmers each working and communicating. I've learned that you shouldn't burden people managers with too much finance. Just like you shouldn't make people managers of finance people. (This somewhat in jest. We do geek out many levels of financial 'theory' above the rest of the people in regular departments. They talk sales growth, we talk the interest rates effect on return on capital invested.) I have a fear that piling finance on top of the people and systems responsibilities of the EM will not work out. At least the controllers should make it _easy_.
The Mac versions of Resident Evil 8 (not 7) and RE4 Remake are exclusive to the Mac App Store. They aren't on Steam.
There are many different rules of thumb on this floating around. 1g per lb of body weight is indeed something a number of well informed people recommend, but those people generally acknowledge that it’s something like an upper bound on the amount that is useful.
Both things that seem to be happening due to the current LLM hype. Everyone locks down their data from scrapers while complaining about increased bot traffic.
Well, it's a mix. There are a ton of captive Windows users, corporate employees, gamers, people working with Microsoft technologies, etc.

But there are also experienced Windows users and frankly a lot of the garbage added isn't that big of a deal. Yeah, it requires a bunch of configuration work, but after a few hours you can get Windows to more or less work how it's always worked.
Here is the science. You are mentally lazy.

Further, whole-body resistance exercise increased oxidative damage. For example, resistance exercise at a 10-repetition maximum load increases the MDA level in the blood [19]. Furthermore, local resistance exercise, which is a single type of resistance training in a specific muscle group, can increase oxidative damage.

>I find this sort of metric rather pointless...

As a complete outsider, it might seem odd.

But I think tech people recognize this as referring to "OS's that aren't Windows or Mac".
A lot of memory and concurrency issues have been eliminated.
It is still a pain to debug, but a lot less than it was before though.

As an example, there is not a lot of chances you forget to use a mutex since the compiler would remind it to you by an error.

This is not a silver bullet though, things such as deadlocks are still present. Especially with interruptions.

To give an example, if you decide to lock a mutex, then an interruption happens, the code that locks the mutex will stop running until the interruption is over. If the interruption itself tries to lock the same mutex, then you have a deadlock, and the typing system cannot help you with this kind of problem.

The solution is to disable interruptions handling while the mutex is locked, but the compiler cannot enforce it.

Mate, 5x5 isn't even what you would do to make the most gains possible. The amount of pump / soreness / disruption / metabolite sequestration you get with your 5RM is... very very low. It will certainly make you stronger but it won't grow you a lot of muscle.

Absolutely. Dogmatic approaches to training doesn't work very well. Listening to your body and adapting does.
Addiction is feeling compelled to do something against your will. Consciously choosing despite circumstances is probably the furthest thing from addiction, and what the OP is referring to.

You can learn to enjoy pushing yourself in this way. To an outsider it can look like you're hooked on it, or that it is easy to make the choice every time.
"Handwritten and commented assembly will be much easier for a human to maintain"

It seems some people here have issue acknowledging that.

But where you are wrong: for modern micro-archs, everything mostly happens at runtime. Specific micro-archs optimizations are not done anymore, the linux kernel do not bother anymore and is compiled for "generic" x86_64 for instance, it is not worth it (and may cause more harm in the end). Usually, you only just care of basic static optimizations, like cache line, fetch code window, alignment, which are more writing "correct" assembly code than anything else.

And even with that, in the worst case scenarios, one could write some specific micro-arch code paths, not an issue while thinking long term of many software components life cycle, which would be "installed"/"branched to" at runtime. At least that knowledge would not be hidden deep in the absurd complexity of an optimizing compiler...
My first impression was that this seems related to the S3-FIFO queue data structure that was posted here last year[0], and the personal site of that algorithm's main author actually mentions it[1]:

> S3-FIFO and SIEVE are being evaluated at several companies, if you are interested in joining the adoption army or if you look for help and want to provide help, find my email on this page. :)

Looking into the papers of both algorithms, they basically swapped primary and secondary authors[3][4], with the main author of Sieve being the one to write this blog post.

Just sharing this to give some context that could be useful for people who actually know about these topics to assess the claims being made. I don't deal with the problems these data structures aim to solve at my day job, so I'll refrain from commenting on that.

But I will say that from an implementation perspective I think the algorithms look elegant in their simplicity, and easy to grok, so at least that part of what they promise is held up.

EDIT: Mark Brooker also wrote a blog post about it[4], for those who want to have read the perspective from a third party who has the proper background.

Well, they were hard-forced to do very specific things about their economies and societies by the U.S. - which is, or at least was, a Protestant+Jewish force. And they arrived to second-rate results and also undermined their demography beyond any hope of repair, in the process.

I've been exactly one of those users, at least until Win10. I'm dreading 11.
> tomorrow it can be any other country

US can even invade any other country tomorrow. There are risks everywhere, every country has to evaluate "Do I need to insure myself against US invasion / asset freeze in the next 5 years? How much will such insurance cost?". Unless you plan to invade your neighbor, the chances of such events are pretty low and the cost of insurance usually does not outweigh the benefits.

> is "linux desktop" even trying

No. I've been using Linux since 2007 and spent most of my career so far in the Linux space. My goal has never been to convert Windows users to Linux. I don't care what others use so long as it doesn't impact me. I just want to make Linux better, because I am also a Linux user, and want my own experience to be better. If my work means someone has a pleasant experience and converts, then great, the more the merrier. But it's not my goal. So I think you're right, we're not trying to get people to move from Windows. We're just trying to make something we want to use.
Of course, it’s complicated, but it’s simple as well. It’s just about Balance. Too much inflammation is bad. Too little is bad. we need just to balance them out, and it’s the same with oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species kill pathogens but they can also kill us. We balanced them using enzymes, and these enzymes need enzymes and cofactors.
Some of it is that these countries are stuck with borders that don't make sense, some of it is cultures not suited to modernity.

Agreed, the deviceorientation does work fine for relative orientation. I've been able to hack it for absolute orientation. What I am doing is: 1) taking the relative orientation euler angles from the event and converting them to a quaternion for easier manipulation. 2) taking the webkitCompassHeading from same deviceorientation event. 3) Calculating the "relative heading", eg how far the relative orientation is from its fake north. 4) calculating the difference between the relative and actual heading. 5) building a quaternion to describe the bearing difference, eg how far the relative orientation need to be corrected by spinning around the z-axis. 6) Multiply the two quaternions to get the final absolute orientation quaternion.
This does work, though has the issues I mentioned previously, and relies on the undocumented fact the the relative orientation is actually absolute with respect to the down/gravity vector.
> And the majority of us will be outliers are on any bell curve

This cannot be possible, by definition. The majority of us will be within one standard deviation of the midpoint on a bell curve because that's how bell curves work. And that means basic evidence based health and fitness advice applies to the majority of us. Not bullshit like "oxidative stress".
