I thought really hard about coming up with an actual response, but no, you don’t deserve one.

Gee, the aviation world would be so much safer if everyone just listened to pixl97.

Garmin's GI-275: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/719027

This one 3-1/8" inch instrument displays more than 15 pieces of information, is somehow perfectly legible even in turbulent flight, _and_ is more reliable and accurate than a whole 6-pack[1]. Synthetic vision unlock is only $500. This is all without switching different pages.

Get two of them, and the FAA considers the possiblities of both of them failing at the same time so low, that you can cover one of them to satisfy partial panel failures in a checkride - well, all you do is to switch the "working" one to the PFD page, and you haven't really lost any capabilities!

The first batch of very high performance RISC-V chips are dropping soon, and there will be servers, as well as Android devices.

Is this the new "2024 is the year of linux desktops"?

As always, when running time series predictions on financial datasets, one need to use daily return (including dividends, corporate actions, etc.) rather than end of day price.

Simply outputting the last value (as more or less shown in these charts) is a pretty good end of day price predictor!

Let me put it this way.

I put the majority of my cash in one of the smaller banks. The news that has transpired in the past few days had me mulling moving those funds to a larger bank, likely Chase (one of the too big to fail ones).

Even with the FDIC guarantees, I was not at all confident that :

1. they actually had the funds to cover _many_ bank runs; and

2. it won’t take weeks if not months for me to recover my funds, if my bank fails.

It’s entirely possibly that these lines of thoughts will motivate many more people to consider this exact move, putting even more stress in the system.

Agreeing to be bought doesn’t create any obligation on Twitter’s part to do anything that’s not in the contract. Especially for things that Musk has explicitly waived.

$TSLA declined ~25% since this “deal”. Musk is the one trying to get out here, because his “deal” just got a lot more expensive.

Assuming it is not hard (it is). Why? It’s not like Twitter is asking to be bought here. Musk voluntarily waived his rights to due diligence. Presumably his representatives have reviewed this agreement?

Tangantially related, I remember reading the Asahi Linux wiki [0], and was shocked by this statement about Apple Silicon machines. It's fascinating that Apple has a reputation for being anti-libre, yet the hardware they built is arguably very libre-friendly.

This puts them somewhere between x86 PCs and a libre-first system like the Talos II in terms of freedom to replace firmware and boot components; while a number of blobs are required in order to boot the system, none of those have the ability to take over the OS or compromise it post-boot (unlike, say, Intel ME and AMD PSP on recent systems, or the DMA-capable chips on the LPC bus running opaque blobs that exist on even old ThinkPads).

From a security perspective, these machines may possibly qualify as the most secure general purpose computers available to the public which support third-party OSes, in terms of resistance to attack by non-owners.

Thankfully San Francisco was never turned into https://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~2...

I'm definately not one for more highways, but this map doesn't look _that_ different from SF today?

OLED monitors do exist, just at a very much unreasonable price and size:

- https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-32ep950-b-oled-monitor

- https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07XTZ45T2 (this one is more of a laptop screen than a monitor)

I’m simplifying here, but essentially no one has figured out how to make OLED panels affordable at a reasonable form factor for monitors yet. The type of panels used in phones (and tablets/laptops) are very different from those used in TVs. LG is making inroads with their 42 C2s, but those will also have a high price and is still way too big for normal monitor use cases.

interface implementation is implicit

Fun fact: this is true for python too! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40764347/python-subclass...

As far as I'm aware, no existing facilities were added?

Nowhere in your linked article indicates that "no existing facilities were added".

As of January 2022, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is manufactured between 11 sites across five countries, including the U.S., Germany, Belgium, Ireland, and Croatia, and engages more than 20 suppliers.

https://www.pfizer.com/science/coronavirus/vaccine/manufactu...

Wait, getting multiple vaccines ready but none were from the US.

See sibling comment on Moderna.

The vaccine was practically ready on day 2 of COVID due to mRNA

No. "ready" as in we can produce a vile in a lab? Sure. Ready as in tested in the general population, mass production facilities, distribution networks? Absolutely not.

So I'm not sure why Warp speed is considered a success?

Producing a vaccine is about the easiest part of warp speed. Having the supply chain needed to vaccinate the whole population in such a brief time? That's the success. Also, it's literally the entire point of TFA.

Right, because Rancher Labs is not a gajillion dollar company: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/rancher-labs

The solution here is to use `$XDG_CACHE_HOME` instead of `$HOME/.cache`, which may not be where a user wants their cache to live: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-...

This doesn't make any sense. Capital punishment has existed since forever - yet the fact that they are still carried out means that they are not stopping all of the crimes punishable by death.

In my experience, doing leetcode to such an extent is in general useless for job searches. Companies are not stupid, and your ability in solving the technical problem is only a very small part of the interview rubric. I’ve done 5, maybe 10 leetcode problems and never had an issue interviewing.

I’m no longer with Airbnb / the project, but we did in fact use SQS Standard exclusively for job queueing (I don’t think we ever did explicitly add any support for FIFO). Our SLA was at-least-once (as most job queues are), so this didn’t matter as much. In practice it also doesn’t happen that often.

IMO, SQS is one of the best products that AWS offers. Airbnb built a queueing + scheduling system on SQS to great success [0] (disclaimer, I wrote this post). There are many others, e.g., Slack, that are building on top of SQS.

you could have the program to mount a remote file system and then access it using local programs, if wanted

Sounds good. Where is such program? This is surely not a very novel idea, but where is it?

Hint:

- remote file systems suck. see: sshfs

- the feature set you think are important are maybe not important enough to that many people

Highly doubt that it was an armed protester shooting.

Did you get that from the same place that you got the idea that the election was stolen?

In return, they were well compensated as they managed .org registrations over all these years, which is more or less a license to print money.

Clearly, there’s more to managing a domain than a “license to print money”. Otherwise, who would want to sell it?

Having better regulation and a bigger government? If the benefit outweighs the damage of data breach here, what's the argument against it?

See the neighbor comment. If i7-1165G7 (a 28W part) can be faster than 10900k, there’s no reason M1 couldn’t be faster.

I believe it’s about 2 years on the MAS, but on iOS, it’s been a thing for 6 years: https://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/18/save-money-with-n...

Bundles have been a thing on App Store for years.

No, Firefox doesn’t need to support the use case of a court system. That’s not what GP is saying. All we’re establishing here is that PDF is a useful format, and Firefox is supporting it.

Also, cryptographic signatures do happen to be a feature of PDF.

I think you missed the point of distributing. I’m never going to let you email me your serviceworkers because I can’t forward this document to anyone without relying on you hosting a server / not changing the content.

Who/What has been exploited here? As others mentioned, you could install debs just fine.
