You can set it to any speed, including LAN speed, according to the available bandwidth/connection.
That article instructs readers to use H.264 rendering and to set DWMFRAMEINTERVAL - thing is, DWMFRAMEINTERVAL is a host-side parameter and apparently all it does is set an upper-limit on the possible refresh rate [1], rather than force the entire RDP system (client and server) to run at a specific frane-rate. This also conflicts with a personal experience of mine: possibly around 2007-2009 I remember using a FOSS RDP client meant for Linux but ported to Windows for some reason, and I preferred using it to connect to a shared WS2003 TermSrv box on the LAN because it sure felt like 60fps, despite everything else wrong with a barely-complete Win32 port (I don’t think they even used MINGW; mad lads…). It was my own TermSrv box and I know I didn’t do anything server-side to make it work so buttery-smooth.

…which tells me that the compromised user-experience caused by the artificially capped frane-rate of the RDP session is entirely at the direction of the client, not the server. But that was… 15+ years ago (…fuck), it’s possible the protocol has changed and maybe it’s something both host and client negotiate, but clearly its possible and clearly someone in the Windows Server group at MSFT enjoys cinema too much because they seem to think 24fps is good enough for everyone.

Also, when you use H.264 in RDP, it defaults to 4:2:0 chroma subsampling[2] which is going to ruin fine-details and make text ugly if not unreadable - there’s a reason we use H.264 for movies but not text documents. I remember around 2013 when a bunch of competing remote-access companies all launched hardware-accelerated-video-based remote-desktop products and being impressed with how they handle remote-Netflix over a pre-LTE mobile tether, but reeling and gasping to throw-up after their aggressive codec motion-estimation, subsampling, and YUV colorspace absolutely butchered a 100% zoom Word document with ClearType enabled. Using the system instilled oneself with a strong discipline against ever moving or resizing a window on the desktop, lest the smears of low-bitrate macroblocks start to appear, warning you the text-on-screen is about to become painfully unreadable for the next few seconds while you curse the DSL connection you’re still forced to use because your apartment complex’s HOA got a sweet deal on satellite TV from the incumbent telco by blocking the local cableco, with their sweet sweet DOCSIS 4, from adding service to the building and I’m done.

When I was hired at Apple/siri more than 10 years ago as a Data Scientist, I was SHOCKED to find that the system beyond speech recognization was rule-based. My team and I attempted multiple times to introduce statistical learning models to siri, so it can improve it with more data. After one year, I was disillusioned and I left Apple.

Several years later former colleagues told me the system was still rule-based! I would not be surprised if it is still that way. That organization was like a mini-dinosaur. There was very little flexibility or openness to new ideas. I am supper happy I left.

Just like for other big challenges like biodiversity and climate change, it feels like it often boils down to the politicians just not understanding enough to take rational decisions. Of course they can't all have a PhD in cryptography, but they should also not have no clue at all.

Over an over again, politicians are asking for backdoors. To me it just proves that they don't understand the very basic of how encryption works.

Especially these days in Europe, it seems completely insane: it is already a problem that most companies use US services, given that the US have become hostile to Europe. The sane way to go is to try to get better privacy for European companies/people, not worse. Adding backdoors just makes it easier for adversaries to access private data.
Well, "three months old" does sort of imply "zero years and three months".

It's kind of like Craigslist, targeting local sellers wanting to get rid of things quickly rather than sellers wanting to ship things whereever the highest bidder might be.
I think the last sentence of the book review hits the narrative here well:

> Ultimately, Careless People is a test for how you feel about Meta. For many, it only reaffirms the belief that the company’s leaders are ruthless, immoral capitalists. For others, it’s a hit job that bends reality to enforce a familiar narrative. I wish it challenged both sides.

As always, the author has a vested interest in promoting the book, and getting sued for spreading lies is always a sure-fire way to get attention. I have no knowledge of the actual veracity of the events in the book, but neither does anyone else, except where it goes against sworn testimony.

While I generally believe that companies like Meta would have acted ruthlessly to make money, history generally shows Meta specifically was quite ruthless. That said, I generally think poorly of people's books when they cash lucrative salaries for half a decade, only to later become critical when convenient. The author was previously a diplomat for New Zealand and the UN and the IMF (after being a law professor). She then worked as the director of public policy at Meta, and now criticizes Meta's stance on public policy for that same time period. This is clearly a high-agency individual with strong connections who worked many dream jobs already, so why she would spend years working and contributing to such an immoral place?

Uber offers 20 hours of free childcare in bid to lure female drivers
That seems like the kind of behavior that would drastically vary from place to place and culture to culture. Just compare Rwanda with the DRC, for instance—neighboring countries with nearly polar-opposite reputation of how corruption is expressed. The DRC's corruption (aka Tshisekedi) means very low centralized control and an incredibly brutal multi-front civil war. Kagame's style has led to one of the most authoritarian countries on earth, albeit one with very low crime rates. That these are bordering countries with overlapping cultures and peoples and these places produce such wildly different expression of societies (as of today, that is) is quite illustrative.

There are certainly some ways that the behavior of countries can be painted with a wide brush, but each country still has unique dysfunctions and strengths. It's very difficult to say anything broadly applicable that doesn't have glaring exceptions undercutting the premise.

This is especially, especially true in places with great restrictions on freedom of the press—Rwanda's image is almost certainly partially fabricated, but it's very difficult to interpret the state of affairs from outside the country.

Corruption is certainly a constant across all countries, but the form the corruption takes is very dynamic.

The concepts being described are called "Furious Flushing". I believe Percona did a writeup on this as well some time ago and I had to assist a DBA with getting systems to keep up with Percona MySQL demands regarding furious flushing and adjusting filesystem and memory options. Here [1] is one of them. OS tuning options have changed a bit since 2014 and there are also more recent articles I believe. The biggest win for us was changing the servers to use SSD's and large capacitor backed raid caches.

I prefer Apple Maps from a UX perspective, but where it still can't compete well is search. And I can't believe it still struggles to with it.

An example I ran into was looking for a specific IKEA near Oslo. There are two. The one that's closest to me is a place called Furuset.

Google: https://i.imgur.com/rHu9XOO.png

Apple: https://i.imgur.com/5HaiGny.png

Google has it as the first hit, but Apple doesn't even show it. None of the hits match, they're all either searches (which... what does that mean? If I do a search and one of the hits is "search nearby", why does it want me to another search?) or some kind of IKEA office, not the warehouse.

At the time I didn't know the address, so I couldn't infer the right one from the list. And I was in a car. I tried to zoom in near where I knew it was:

https://i.imgur.com/FrXeyow.png

...But there aren't 10 IKEAs there. Just one.

Apple Maps keeps doing this. I can trust it 95% of the time, but the last 5% is a garbage heap of wrong or missing addresses, or outright wrong directions.

Before you say this is a Norway thing, I've had the same thing elsewhere in Europe, and it once gave me some very wrong turns in New York that put me in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of night.

I was one of the defenders of Maps when it first came out, but every time I try to commit to using it, it fails in some way that drives me back to Google. Google's UX is horrific (when you've searched, selected an address, and asked for directions, why does it take five "X" taps to get back to the main map view?), but it almost never gives me the wrong thing.

Which means again it's an offloading from poor working class who tend to live in shittier transit access areas where a car (and its road taxes) is more necessary, regressively upwards. Public transit as implemented in US is a regressive middle class welfare program.

It doesn't need to be top-down corruption on the part of Dam Corp, LLC.

Think about it this way - you and your family live somewhere and are being displaced to make way for a dam, some guy in a suit comes around and says "we'll pay $1000 per resident to move you somewhere else".

Maybe your uncle lived at your house with his wife for 5 years, until they moved to the city last year. Your grandmother lived there until she died 6 months ago. So lets say it's just you, your partner, and 2 kids.

But, that's a lot of money - do you tell the man in the suit that your house has 4 residents, or maybe stretch the truth to 5 or 6 (your uncle might move back soon, after all)?

And remember, corruption often stacks - individuals might add an extra person here and there, but then the local relocation manager adds a few % to get a little extra on top, and their boss adds another few %, and so on... soon you're seeing 25% more people than actually reside there.
It's like the old joke about the drunk who's searching for his lost keys under a streetlight because the light is better there.

Well there was that time my evil twin came out because I read a bad book...

But really any kind of literature has problems with hero worship which in turn comes out of a kind of survivorship bias. There's almost nothing you can learn from studying Apple that applies to your business so the cult of Steve Jobs is basically pointless.

(e.g. Jobs completely called the 1980s wrong because he had no idea how slow progress was going to be in the microcomputer space... Had he skipped the /// and Mac and shipped the //gs a year or two earlier they could have avoided at least one of their near death experiences [1] and had a straighter path to where they wound up)

[1] Choosing Motorola in retrospect was a choice between certain death and a near death experience but that's only clear in hindsight where we know Motorola took down almost all the opposition to the PC
There's also a constant tension between using fear as a motivator to squeeze more work out of employees, but not squeeze so hard that they quit. Different companies find their own spot on this continuum. For example, Amazon is famously in the sweatshop part of the scale and they could care less about their reputation. They seem to be doing OK though.
Yes, but ICE can pick you at random (probably lawfully at least close to borders and international airports) while you always have to talk with CBP when entering the country. I personally have been avoiding travel to/through the US whenever possible just because some of the wrong people have been my friends and I happen to make my money with drugs - completely legal, helping to disseminate neutral information for free, but I would not want to discuss the finer details of ethics and drug policy with an underpaid officer of any police force.

The one thing that protects me somewhat from ICE is that I am white, in my forties, middle class and non-confontational when talking with officials. Or how a friend put it: No worries, you could be drinking a beer, smoking a joint and cops would laugh about your accent before telling to have a nice one.

>Here in Australia it's typical to say Ah-zure (Ah as in Aha) where as Americans typically say Ay-zure (Ay as in the name Jay).

There are dozens of dialects/pronunciation styles in the US. What you may have heard from some US folks isn't what you'll hear from others.

As an American who lives in the US, I have never heard anyone say 'Ay-zure', WRT to either the color or the "someone else's server' offering from Microsoft.

As for Mobile, there are multiple pronunciations in various places around the US. Anything from 'mo-b-aye-l' (as you Aussies say) to 'mob-ill' (as in mafia) to 'Moe-bill' (as in one of the Three Stooges) to 'Mo-beel'.

Then again, I live on the east coast and those west coast weirdos sure do talk funny.

Edit: Clarified "pronunciation" of Mobile (with long 'o' and 'i' and silent 'e').

Which has precisely fuck-all to do with the point you were originally trying to make. If you want to now start arguing that that roads themselves are a regressive tax on the poor, then you should be triply in favor of public transportation options.

> shittier transit access areas

Public transit advocates literally want to expand public transit to cover more and more of these areas. We also want to build more housing in dense areas, so it is effectively cheaper to live there.

The answer is not throwing our hands up in the air and forcing the poor to live further and further away from their jobs and economic centers, foisting upon them the exorbitant expense of roads, cars, fuel, and time spent commuting.
Doesn’t every country or at least major country conduct censuses? Assuming there are some countries that can’t or don’t due to conflict, lack of resources etc. it seems these would be limited and therefore whatever estimates are made for those countries would be off my millions but certainly not billions.
Well, they used a "simple, inexpensive catalyst" and then HEATED the plastic/catalyst mysture. Nowhere in the article it gives you an estimate of the final cost of the process.

Correct term is Europeans, not Euros.

I think you are ignorant about law in general and European institutions. European Court of Justice is established in 1952. European Economic Community is established in 1957. Ireland joined the European communities in 1972.

The court order is just, as Apple didn't pay fair amount of taxes from whole EU operations. This makes it an EU matter. They just need to pay their taxes.

In my area, it's basically replaced newspaper classified ads. So you get people selling cars, furniture, appliances, and miscellaneous stuff that's too big or heavy to ship. Except it's more restrictive, not allowing the sale of animals for instance, which is annoying.

My main problem with it is that it doesn't obey its own filters very well. If I search for "Buick" and set a radius of 40 miles from my location, it might give me a few within that radius but then start giving me a bunch from hundreds of miles away. And it doesn't seem to work outward, but might give me some 500 miles away and then one 50 miles lower down. That makes it less useful than it could be.
This is really neat! I work in machine learning but still feel imposter syndrome with my foundations with math (specifically linear algebra and matrix/tensor operations). Does anyone have any more good resources for problem sets with an emphasis on deep learning foundational skills? I find I learn best if I do a bit of hands-on work every day (and if I can learn things from multiple teachers’ perspectives)
I few people have mentioned dagster and I took a look at that for some machine learning things I was playing with but I found dvc (data version control [1]) and I think it is fantastic. I think it also has more applications than just machine learning but really anything with data. If you have a bunch of shell scripts that write to files to pass data around, then dvc might be a good fit. it will do things like only rerun steps if it needs to.

https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/state-infrastructur...

Your premise is false to begin with. In NY the roads are 60% funded by use taxes like fuel taxes, not majority property tax. It's hard to take your argument with much weight until it sits on the slightest vestige of factual foundation, which seems missing.

I'm not against mass transit, I'm saying maybe it should be privatized so the users bear the cost rather than shifting it on the poor. To expand on the status quo or make it even more 'public' is insanity.
If it can't be reduced to practice, then it's a vanity patent, but also, impossible to violate.
