Drawing analogies between Erdogan and the IS is wild.
It is a sign that propaganda is getting to you if you find yourself seriously considering their talking points. Is it better if a million people die "in the name of stability" quietly being tortured to death in jails behind closed doors over a span of a decade all while further tens of millions live in misery or half that number die in a let's say 3 year war, but we see it all on TV and there is real chance of freedom and democracy thereafter? Also, it is a huge win for all the depots's propaganda efforts that today in many western countries people have been convinced "democracy doesn't work" because there are issues in their countries. If "it doesn't work" it's not that much different from a dictator, right? And if that is true, why are we helping in foreign wars that prevent the spread of the autocracy (Ukraine now, possibly Taiwan tomorrow). If democracy is a lie, there is no point to risk our wellbeing for Ukraine. Wrong. There is no more important cause in the world than stopping depots. Yes, democracy is not ideal, but it is as if comparing being angry you got a different topping on your pizza order vs starving to death. That is literally the difference. So my blood boils when I hear people online talk about "stability" (and by extension) "why are we spending money on Ukraine when the infrastructure is falling apart here". Because Ukraine is about the survival of our way of life, it is order of magnitude more important than local issues. Take an example from history.

When general Patton won over Germans in WW2 he wanted to continue to overthrow USSR and free countries like Poland and the rest Soviets took over when they colluded with Nazis to split Europe by half. But he was told no, Poland was sold to Stalin for "a pack of fa.s" so to speak alongside the rest of Central Europe. USSR had no nuclear weapon at the time and was a country in ruin. But with the coerced resourcefulness of all the countries like Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Czech and so on (all modern manufacturing was based in "Soviet republics" with few notable exceptions, rocketry and aviation - Ukraine, computing/electronics Poland and Belarus, advanced machinery - East Germany and so on, later Soviet planners started moving people around to "closed cities" and other special places within Russia, but that's where most of them came from). As a result USSR developed nuclear weapons in record time and was a match for the free world militarily for a long time which few times almost ended our civilisation. If Paton was allowed to continue back then? None of it would've happened. We still live the bad consequences of this decision today.
You can't directly access the GPU hardware on modern systems (at least without a massive re-engeneering effort like the Asahi Linux GPU driver for Apple hardware), so any 'minimal graphics API' still goes through a massive amount of wrapper code in the operating system and GPU driver.

Also, on older home computer systems the hardware was essentially the rendering- and audio-engine. Those systems were designed from the ground up to be convenient to program by directly writing hardware registers from assembly code (e.g. you didn't have to draw a sprite yourself, you just wrote a hardware register with a pointer to the sprite's image data in memory, and then wrote another hardware register to update the current sprite position and the video hardware did the rest). On modern hardware, providing such an interface is the job of drivers.
It's naive to think that peace and stability will suddenly prevail in Syria. The situation will likely follow the Libya model: total chaos, worse than when Gaddafi ruled. HTS are wolves in sheep's clothing, and they wear this disguise only to convince the world that there is no need to form another anti-terrorist coalition. They learned lessons from the collapse of ISIS. All the organizations that once had a common enemy in Assad will now seek to seize power and begin fighting one another.
How is this an answer to the op's statement?. Assad was a war criminal just like his father. Remember the Hama 1982. Son followed dad by killing thousands, torturing and displaced millions. West will support and try a rosy picture of so called secular totalitarians as long as it fits to their agenda.
The vast majority of ovens in the US are not convection. So any recipe is written for a standard oven.

But, even convection ovens don't cook the same as an air fryer. Air fryers are like a mini turbo convection ovens. It's like comparing a camp fire to a blow torch.
Same goes for Russia, and is all seems pretty relevant.

The article seem to indicate that it's much more sustainable for the West than for Russia.

Well, what I mean is it sounds like he's trying to insinuate something. Maybe he's just coming from your position, but in the position that he's in, I think he has far more responsibility than that and shouldn't be commenting on things he hasn't spent five minutes researching. While the timing is extremely surprising, all of the factors involved were covered non-stop in Western media for the last year or so. This is by no means a Black Swan event.

Ours is speculative too. In our case, we a building knowledge graphs for individuals where the schema depends on the person and their needs. We also hope that the relationships between data is where the value lies, rather than in the nodes which consist of ingested data. Arguably, the structure can easily be captured with a NoSQL DB or even a relational database. The precarious life of Graph databases is likely due to this - once a schema is established, why would you choose a proprietary datastore?

The story of the fight which has been waged for the protection of the public against adulterated and unfit foodstuffs is not a pleasant one. Politics has often played a larger part than a consideration of the welfare of the public. While some adulterations have only a commercial and not a public health interest, none the less the people should be protected against them.

that's kind of the point with modern architecture. It's at best lame, often outright ugly from day one, and aways never age well. The only merit is that it is made of non-durable materials (concrete, glass and steel), so no one will look down on our civilisation in 800 years since there will be nothing left.
Even outside of the “hacker” community, keyboard has always been associated with higher expertise. Average “MS Word” user - Navigate through various menus to find what they want to do. Power Users - Memorized all the “shortcuts”.

I think that’s mostly what it is. A keyboard (and a bunch of memorizing), gives mastery over the applications UI.

I thought that way until I tried a reverse sear (oven at low temp and sear afterwards) myself. I am no expert at the physics behind it, but it works great for rare steaks.

Yes, the oven dries the outer part of the steak, but that means you get your desired crust in less time in the pan. That results in a clearer distinction between the crust and the juicy interior without the gray band in between.

>I don't get the hype of keyboard == hacker mentality.

This is not about a hype or "looking cool". Mouse and GUIs are faster and more ergonomic for exploratory activities ("how do I do X" for a new task, skimming a document or folder, etc), while keyboard (keyboard shortcuts, command line) is faster for routine, repeatable tasks. Web browsing is full of the latter.

I personally strongly prefer the keyboard and find it exhausting to reach for the mouse all the time, but it's a matter of personal preference. I don't think less of someone when I see they heavily use the mouse when programming, though in my opinion they are missing out.
That was actually the design goal of Saturn - Ferrari style with Chevrolet price tag.

A few cars have got it right after Saturn. I would say the Hyundai Veloster and Tesla Model 3 top that list.
I'm rejecting the idea that software distributed in any way that has an MIT license can be "de facto" closed source. I think that this is a conceptual misapplication of the term "de facto," which implies an argument of equivalence in a situation where that equivalence does not exist. The question is not whether or not we can access the source code; we can now access the source code. The question is what the license was. To say that the license was "de facto" closed source before the software was distributed without the repository controller's knowledge or intent is to make a legal argument about that license. That argument was false. It just just as false as the argument that an electrical fire in the wall of your house that you could not see occurred 'before' your house was on file.

This is as OVERT as it gets, since you cannot hide keyword which can be trivially archived online, with no plausbile denialbility. If university wanted covert policy they would quietly just get registrar to reject PRC applicants and this story wouldn't even exist. Not to mention most PRC applicants with aspiration abroad run VPN anyways, especially now, if only to use chatGPT.

IMO this looks like the action of smooth brained rogue operator mad that PRC accounts for ~50% of Japanese international students, and thinks reddit style Tianamen copypasta would get a PRC netizen's computer to explode and get abducted by MSS, i.e. it's a hack job done by a racist idiot (of which there are many in JP). My understanding is University of Tokyo has one of the highest international enrollement, very PRC friendly as well from what I hear.

Quick search online it has 4968 international students, 3232 is PRC, or 65%, substantially higer than JP average, which is way more than I thought.
The difference between freedom fighters and terrorists is often a matter of whether you favor them or not.

It is an answer to the claim, that freeing everyone is always to be considered a good thing.

Freeing all the political prisoners, yes, I support that. I am not a fan of Assad.

But also all the IS militants who while being free, made a competition, of who can be the most cruel?

I am sceptical. And also about where those people will end up. And they are more than a handful.

For me, given I don't live on the continent let alone the country, I wish I was as ignorant of US politics as of Chinese politics.

US tech news is relevant, and to an extent politics influences tech, but I really don't need to know when e.g. Florida has a fight with Disney.

That's something of an impossible question until you can clearly define what your life goals or tendencies might be. Of course they change over time, but you have to start somewhere. :)

Do you want to be wealthy at any cost (eg family life etc), or comfortable with a good life work balance? Or maybe adventurous, high risk? Or low risk? Three list goes on.

There's no simple answer, but I would start by trying to give your question this kind of context.

Right now the world is going through a huge transition as you know. And nobody knows how it's going to pan out. High risk life strategies will inevitably involve tech in some form, low risk will more likely involve artisanal skills or small town value options (eg a vet?).

Good luck.
There are lot more said in the comment I answered. Nothing happened for China, to be precise. A lot of wishful thinking only.
On Linux, you may mmap /dev/fb0 to access the front buffer like you would have on old computers.
Not all kernel configs and GPU devices allow that. You can test if fb0 is usable with cat /dev/random > /dev/fb0 to see if the screen is filled with garbage (you may also need root privilege).

IMHO, GTA6 will disappoint because of the exceedingly long 10 years of build up and hype for it that's been increasing exponentially since the first trailer dropped. No matter how good it is, it will never live up to player expectations.

We GTA fans have been speculating what might be coming in GTA6 since shortly after GTA5's release - since prior to this, GTA titles released every few years.

After the trailer was released, you had thousands of fans & YouTube videos examining seemingly every pixel of it looking for clues, secrets, easter eggs & creating a community map project to try and put together the map before the game was even released (I don't have sources for this stuff in front of me to link to at the moment, sorry)

Now the wait time for a second trailer is growing to a fever pitch, with GTA Online players trying to decipher when the trailer will release based on the waning & waxing of the moon in game. The fact that it's now been over a year since the first trailer releasing has started spilling over into anger and frustration. I can't imagine how enraged people are going to be when there's going to be an almost inevitable delay.

That's not to say that this same cycle of hype hasn't happened for other franchises, but this is a studio that has built almost nothing but hit game after hit game since it started producing them in ~1996. The original group of founders, Dan Houser, et al. have all left (or been fired - with the exception of Sam Houser) and moved onto other projects. Rockstar has gone from releasing multiple series of games across different platforms to having essentially two titles (Red Dead Redemption & GTA) to be their bread and butter, with microtransactions and subscriptions for GTA+, both of which are for GTA Online exclusively, being what funds their continued existence.

So, while GTA6 will still sell well regardless, they are absolutely reliant on the online component being a hit with players as they've put all of their eggs in that basket.

Total casualties since the start of the war (less than 3 years ago) are 600,000+. That's about 200,000 more than more than the US sustained in Korea, Vitnam, First Gulf War, Afghanistan, and The Second Gulf War combine.

Basic psychology. Iran has tried to kill these rebel forces since the Arab Spring, and now you think they will suddenly become friends of Iran once in power? Not going to happen.

As far as Lebanon goes, decades of wars are mainly a result of Lebanon's dysfunctional sectarian political system. But having Hezbollah run around and exchange fire with Israel doesn't improve the already bad situation.
