I think it’s a bit unfair to say Iraq wasn’t in anyone’s mind. Clinton spent the 90s bombing Iraq after coalition forces invaded to stop the Kuwait invasion in 1991. And saddam hussein was regularly declaring America as moral enemy of Iraq. Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11 but I feel like he was regularly discussed throughout the 90s and so was easy to inject back into the conversation in 2003. This is really different than randomly saying that Canada is Americas hat or Greenland should be liberated.

All that being said, Americans grew up, long before Donald trump entered the political discourse, learning that they live in the greatest country on earth and that everyone wants to move there and become American. This is a core component of Donald trump’s political message of make America great again. So why wouldn’t the average American be accepting the idea that other places want to join in on the fun? Democrat or Republican most seem to buy in to American exceptionalism.
"It's a good idea not to use npm packages blindly"

Yes, but also impractical.
Where is the detailed post mortem on this?
(It helps if you've watched the linked allocator video.)

Conceptually, an abstract allocator in the style proposed by Andrei can be set up to just return an offset

This offset can then later be interpreted as "from the start of the struct" or "from the start of memory identified by the pointer to 0".

Fundamentally it's the same thing: take a contiguous (or not!) space of bytes and "carve it up" using some simple algorithm. Then, compose the simple algorithms to make complicated allocators. How you use this later is up to you.

I guarantee you that there's code just like this in the guts of any compiler that can reorder struct/record members, such as the Rust compiler. It might be spaghetti code [1], but it could instead look just like Andrei's beautiful component-based code!

I think it ought to be possible for developers to plug in something as complex as a CP-SAT solver if they want to. It might squeeze out 5% performance, which could be worth millions at the scale of a FAANG!

Sadly, Latinx is still used all over the place. Google turns up 94,800 instances of "latinx community" just in the past year:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22latinx+community%22&tbs=q...

In fact, when I query for results and specify date ranges for each year (using Tools > Any time > Custom range), I get:

2018: 4,410 results
2019: 7,070 results
2020: 15,900 results
2021: 17,500 results
2022: 21,000 results
2023: 34,300 results
2024: 88,600 results

Yeah, Google probably has a recency bias in its search corpus, but this is still a large amount of recent and ongoing usage.

Google Trends doesn't show a clear decline either:

But you can have Obsidian access from any device already if you easily setup syncing using the official method (and support the project by doing so) or one of the community plugins. Doing it this normal way avoids opening up a massive security hole too.
Hence "alleged".
Can you point to a write-up somewhere that details this setup?

Part of the appeals of VMs is that they were built with security as a primary objective. I probably have to do something stupid to break that isolation. A custom ad hoc configuration makes me a bit nervous that I will unknowingly punch a Docker sized hole through my firewall and have less security than if I ran a stock workflow.
Release the weights or buy an ad. This doesn’t deserve front page.
Grinding the rails only helps against roughness of the upper surface of the rail (which causes a "roaring" noise - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgrinder#Rail_corrugation). The most annoying noise in my experience is the screeching noise when going around curves (or on badly maintained straight tracks) - this can best be solved by using flange lubrication (https://centrallubrication.com/en/lubrication-techniques/whe...).

Without commenting on this subthread (I don't have an opinion), you or anyone else with this concern should look into sticky modifiers (modifiers that apply to the next key press without being held). They were a game changer for me personally as far as managing RSI, as I had a bad habit of tilting my wrist to eg type a capital T.
You can also do it at night using star charts (or as you call it, an "almanac"). That's how most of the digital celestial navigation solutions work, they use the positions of bright stars to determine a fix based on observatory data.

The sheer amount of content-less booing of political outgroups throughout the thread (overwhelmingly in one direction, unsurprisingly given the article content) has really disappointed me.
We all know the correct dock location is LEFT, because there's fewer mouse movements to reach the dock apps and the close/minimize buttons of a window when using a mouse. No further arguments will be heard on this topic (:
> You need to buy the same exact drive

AFAIK you can add larger and faster drives, you will just not get any benefits from it.
I thought the same too...

I read Deep Learning by Goodfellow and Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras for practical stuff. I am still thinking if I should do the D2L for additional practice in my free time, though.
Well, if the mossad put "made in israel" on those devices I doubt they would have worked.
Storage Spaces doesn't dedicate drive to single purpose. It operates in chunks (256MB i think). So one drive can, at the same time, be part of a mirror and raid-5 and raid-0. This allows fully using drives with various sizes. And choosing to remove drive will cause it to redistribute the chunks to other available drives, without going offline.
The geology of the PNW has been so unstable for millions of years ... that about once every century your riverside would likely either be flooded-out or buried in volcanic ash.
That's absurd. If that's your claim, do you know how many of your daily tools and hardware you should also drop?
> that I can demonstrate a high fructose corn syrup allergy

If you can, honestly, contact a medical researcher. (You'd want to be blindly provided tasteless pills encapsulating both HFCS, sugar, fructose and an intert substance, of course.)

What wouldn't be unprecedented is a fructose sensitivity.
If that is passive hearing protection through isolation you are probably good. But do the 'active' NC headphones actualy prevent hearing damage?
Ever tried a support call helping someone using a website that has A/B testing on? It's a very frustrating experience where you start to think the user on the other side must have mistyped the url. A lot of time wasted on such calls. And yes, the worst is when these things only happen in things you use only when in a hurry.
It's interesting, I just think the second order effects might be a bit scary.

You can get read speed benefits with faster drives, but your writes will be limited by your slowest.
And yet, if you walk around Amsterdam or Rotterdam you see a lot of bicycles and trams and pedestrians, and very few cars.

Cars certainly exist, but they are clearly not used by default for everything.

Contrast with my recent visit to New Jersey. The hotel was surrounded on all sides by parking lots and multi lane roads). There was no sidewalk.
As a decade long windows and linux desktop user, the mac OS X dock was one thing I was really envy. There are tons of bad copies of it for various linux desktops (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, you name it), they all don't get it. The software quality of the dock and window manager was something where OS X was, for a long time, years apart other GUIs. My feeling is the default setting made the dock less exciting in the last years.
I have never understood why the failure to answer the strawberry question has seen as a compelling argument as to the limits of AI. The AIs that suffer from this problem have difficulty counting. That has never been denied. Those AI's also do not see the letters of the words they are processing. Counting the letters in a word is a task that it is quite unsurprising that it fails. I Would say it is more surprising that that they can perform spelling tasks at all. More importantly the models where such weaknesses became apparent are all from the same timeframe where the models advanced so much that those weaknesses were visible only after so many other greater weaknesses had been overcome.

People didn't think that planes flying so high that pilots couldn't breathe exposed a fundamental limitation of flight, just that their success had revealed the next hurdle.

The assertion that an LLM is X and therefore not intelligent is not a useful claim to make without either proof that it is X and proof that X is insufficient. You could say brains are interconnected cells that send pulses at intervals dictated by a combination of the pulses they sense, and there is nothing intelligent about that. The premises must be true and you have to demonstrate that the conclusion follows from those premises. For the record I think your premises are false and your conclusion doesn't follow.

Without a proof you could hypothesise reasons why such a system might not be intelligent and come up with an example of a task that no system that satisfies the premises could accomplish. While that example is unsolved the hypothesis remains unrefuted. What would you suggest as a test that shows a problem that could not be solved by such a machine? It must be solvable by at least one intelligent entity to show that it is solvable by intelligence. It must be undeniable when the problem is solved.
In any serious discipline, ranging from philosophy to mathematics, precision is a requirement. Here, "woke" is everything but precise. It's an umbrella term that the right uses with bad faith to discard any form of social struggle or claim for a more egalitarian society, then part of the left took ownership of the term (reverse stigma).

Then a quoted aberrations IMO,

> Racism, for example, is a genuine problem. Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be, but a genuine one. I don't think any reasonable person would deny that.

These statements are typically what fuels some people's outrage. Who is PG to decide what is the right scale? In the US for example, too many black people lost their lives because of a systemic racism, at the scale of society (police, job, housing, ...). Is this not scaled enough? To me, it shows an incredible level of disconnection between the social class PG belongs to and the actual problems in society.
It's the whole ecosystem. VScode is nice for coding. Jetbrains is great for engineering.
Would love to see these numbers for Europe.

Here is something I noticed in Germany:

It is surprisingly hard to go out for lunch or a coffee and get good service these days.

In many restaurants and cafés where you have been served by friendly people who were interested in what they sell and happy to see customers, you are now served by people who are completely out of touch with what they do. Disinterested, and sometimes even outright grumpy towards customers.
> So let’s be clear here: fact-checking is speech.

Motte and bailey argumentation at its finest.

If "fact checking" had just been a bunch of washed up journalists writing their own blogs about Trump, nobody would have cared. That's the free speech angle and it's also not what anyone means by "fact checking". The term refers to centralized censorship of social media and ad networks driven by unaccountable NGOs who have special backdoor access to them. Invariably, these NGOs are selected for being far left activists and aren't actually interested in facts.

Allowing one side of the political spectrum to arbitrarily take down posts, ads and even block private messages isn't a pro free speech position, it's a pro censorship position.

The author must think his readers are quite dim. Or maybe he just doesn't know anything about the topic, seeing as he rails against the NY Post for not providing an example of censorship when Mark Zuckerberg just went on Rogan and gave censorship of the NY Post's laptop story as a primary example of the problem he's trying to solve.

If Masnick really wants fact checking to mean free speech then he should be jumping for joy at the rapid standardization on Community Notes, because that's what combating speech with more speech looks like. But seeing as he rants about how only "MAGA" cared about this issue, it's fair to assume this is just an attempt to rewrite history to pretend censorship never happened at all. Probably in Masnick's world it never did because of course, the first thing censors block discussion of is their own activity.
You still miss the streamer. The speakers are active with bluetooth reciever but cant play music by themselves. I am not sure if then its not better to go sonos. Either go full modular or nothing. Active speakers are not popular exactly because its usually the amp that dies and then your speakers die with it.

Then again you can look for wiim mini packaged with active speakers - they have colab/packages like this. I recently got wiim+edifier [1] in sale for 130usd and its shockingly good combo for fraction of sonos (especially since its stereo).

Left, hidden, as small as possible, with active app indicators turned off and nothing pinned to it. I'd get rid of it entirely if I could.

(Alfred, cmd+tab, cmd+` (and occasionally Exposé) are all I use to open and switch apps outside of the terminal.)
That's an amazing paper:

TL;DR star tracking is a thoroughly solved problem, the hard problem is finding "where is down" without looking at the horizon (which may not be visible). The solution to that is coupling into the ship's inertial navigation system, which still may drift up to an arcminute per hour, but if you feed the star tracker data back into the INS for corrections, it gets better.
Dunno if you were kidding, but either way: That's the first I've ever seen of this having anything to do with clothing. (Unless you count the bamboo-and-grass headphones as clothing.)
You've not addressed threatening the territorial integrity of Denmark. If you're going to say we've misinterpreted him, please quote him. Verbatim, not cleaned up.

I almost never use the Dock. Cmd+Tab for app switching, Launchpad for launching. The Dock sure looks nice, and that animation was magical 20 years ago, but I hate how it interrupts the cleanliness of the desktop.
Is nature doing that? Or following a much simpler pattern?
You have it backwards. Mississippi residents earn more than UK ones at current $/£ exchange rates, but the costs of goods and services in Mississippi are so much higher than in the UK that once you include that difference in your comparison, the relationship flips.
But Sonos doesn't sell any services/subscriptions, just products, correct? So even if they wanted to have recurring revenue how would they do it? They sell gadgets?

We've been using gitea since 2019 with no problems. Drone for CI, although these days you can just stick with the built-in "actions". It's always funny reading the news about yet another GitHub outage, when our gitea instance hasn't had a minute of unplanned downtime in 6 years. (And very little of planned downtime, always in non-working hours.)
Great feedback! Thank you. Obvious now that you mention it. I just fixed it. Pull the new version and you will be able to add uncategorized tasks.
Security of banking shouldn't depend on the client software, it should be enforced at the interface the clients use to talk to the bank. It shouldn't matter whether the banking app can be disassembled or not. As much as I detest browser-based authentication in general online banking websites got it right: you just use a browser (and it's in your best interest to use a trusted browser -- one trusted by you) but all the bank cares about is that the user has the necessary pieces for authentication, be it numerical codes, passwords, and 2FA tokens. The browser doesn't have to be a bank-signed edition of MS Edge, it can be Firefox or even a browser you wrote yourself. But a banking app is basically a black box that you would have to allow to run in your system in order for the bank to talk with the software the bank itself trusts.
I only used religion as an example, not to set up a false dichotomy. It could be anything people care about - 'love', 'patriotism', 'fairness', 'rule of law' ...
What you say does not contradict in any way what I have said.

I have said that what matters is the total amount of ingested fructose, not its source. Eating large quantities of dried fruits can have the same effect as eating too much sugar or HFCS.

Besides HFCS-42 and HFCS-55, there is also HFCS-70, with an even higher amount of fructose.

I agree that saying that HFCS is bad without giving more details about what kind of HFCS is meant is ambiguous.

That does not change that at equal amounts HFCS-70 or HFCS-55 are more likely to provide excessive fructose than sugar, even if HFCS-42 is less likely to provide excessive fructose than sugar.

HFCS is also absorbed faster than sugar, which must first be split into glucose and fructose. This may be desirable during intense effort, but undesirable otherwise.
While sometimes direct monetization of the benefits is a better solution, in this particular case it is not. First of all government in this case doesn't want to give some cash to to the poor, it wants to provide them with access to information. So instead of giving people cash, then verifying if they are spending it on the internet, they are streamlining process for it. And second, direct monetization of benefits won't work in this case. Essentially government is taking some cost out of ISP pocket and redirecting it to the poor ISP customers. But if they monetized same process, the government wouldn't know who to give that money. They would need to additionally track if a poor person is a subscriber or no, and where is he currently located at all times, to know which ISP's money should be redirected to whom. It is way more work for almost no benefit.
probably the last comment i'd have expected an explicit thank you for. but anyway, you're welcome. care to share why it feels so relevant to you?
> the people who spend time directly with the customers

Unless engineers spend time directly with customers, something is broken in the organization to begin with. If salespeople and customers dream up solutions and then hand the task to produce this solution over to engineers, then that business is frankly doomed.
Also at that point I would question can you do anything useful with your ship anyway... Considering just how much electronics and automation modern ships run with.

It's not the words or the metaphors, it's the people!

If someone wants to use words against someone else, they'll find a way, no matter what.

Policing words is fascist, if anything, police people bad behaviour, actually, police how your society works and start investigating why you you masterfully created, nourished and spread to the World so many cultural stereotypes about everyone who is not you and doesn't want to be like you!
They talk to us about you, it's not the words you use, but *how* you use them.

Try to understand that thinking "you person of color -> you bad" it's not any better than thinking "you [n word] -> you bad".
I don't think that tracks. Surely if the spread of that doctrine were the reason, we'd see children having more autonomy and a recognition that it's immoral to e.g. take their property, or confine them against their will.
So you're saying it doesn't matter if they do it "aggressively" or "performatively" you just have a fundamental objection to trans people.

Which by PG's definition means this isn't woke. Yet he specifically gave the example of a wokeness so bad it could damage a giant multinational brewery (he doesn't mention it happening via boycotts and bomb threats and people losing jobs because that would sound like a worse version of the woke he was complaining about).
I don't understand, you mean in the case that most people don't patch their WordPress installation, and keep getting updates from WordPress.org?

You have to move all installations to the new domain, but you don't have to do that in 1 day. You can create bots scanning the internet for WP installations and mail the webmaster and inform them about the corruption at WordPress and give them info how to patch their instance.

Matt would have to clone all the plugins and keep them up to date by copying the plugins from the new domain. But he would be risking a lawsuit for each plugin he does this with. Seems like a lot of work with a lot of risk.
As someone who found out that way twice in the last two years, I also thought I had been let go. Anxiety is a hell of a drug.
Did they switch apps again, or is this still about the debacle when they switched from their original app to the second gen (S2) app many many years ago?

Because while that was a shitshow, that's ancient history by now. Did they screw up another generational switch?
Could you add a bit more of details on the main page about io_ring itself? This isn't something I've used in the past albeit I'm certainly familiar with remote mounted files. Thank you.
I am a computer scientist working in programming languages (so with no particular expertise in combinatorics).

In my experience, treewidth is one of those ideas at the outer limits of my ability to understand.

I have spent several hours staring at the idea on several different occasions, and at the end of each of these sessions, I come away with a vague sense of why it is important and why the definition is natural, only for its complexity to completely overwhelm me the next time I encounter the concept.
They had a fairly unique and high-quality product in the early days.

It just did’t evolve very far or very fast, or even adapt pricing to better fit a rapidly changing market.

They switched away from a focus on multi-room hi-fi (or at least mid-fi) audio and users with their own hoard of digital audio to focus more on streaming services and chase the trend of little monophonic speakers. The higher-end devices remained good but became ever more niche.

Then they broke everything, particularly customer trust, with the app update.
