Is tracking prevention just builtin adblock?

>>> print (1, 2, 3)

Is that supposed to be a function call with a tuple or function call with 3 integers?

We want foreign students to experience freedom and liberty in America.

I think the issue is that things that can not encrypted because of protocol requirements is enough to be dangerous

gRPC is actually pretty nice. It's simpler than COM. More complex than passing JSON around but also less bug prone.

> What is increasingly clear, though, is that China’s insistence that the West ignore the country’s “internal affairs” is a sentiment that is not reciprocated; the list of Western companies bullied by China for Western content is long and growing, the country is flooding Twitter and Facebook with coronavirus propaganda, and is leveraging WeChat to spread misinformation and to surveil the Chinese diaspora.

None of those are "internal affairs" to any Western country. Those are international companies that have an interest in not pissing off their cash cow. If they poured money into the Cascadia independence movement then that would America and Canada's internal affairs. But the only party doing that is the State Department and NED.

There's a lot of inaccuracies in this article. He seems to think knowledge in tech translates to knowledge in other things. Pity.

If that's the case then you want as many providers as possible so no one has enough information to de-anonymize the traffic?

Websites are hard to use and usually suck. Sometimes you spend an hour looking for something on a website and it tells you to call customer support.

Isn't airplane autopilot only used when there's no traffic around. An analogous autopilot for cars would never be used unless if you're in an empty parking lot.

I appreciate the humor but that's more time consuming than comparing instruction cycle counts and data dependencies. It's also workload dependent when it wouldn't be if they didn't come up with this throttling thing even if out of order execution makes it complicated.

io_uring is a lot more complex than kqueue though.

The pacman rosetta is page I use the most.

AVX-512 causes frequency throttling for thermal reasons.

Any performance gain from fewer cycle cost may be lost from the CPU being slower. Maybe there are situations where AVX-512 is faster but how is one to reason about performance when some instructions can slow the CPU.

The phrase "science teaches us such and such" is funny in the same way Zoidberg saying "I'll have one art" is funny.

> If someone made a villainous fu manchu character people would rightly protest it as intolerable.

Asian stereotypes in media is pretty well tolerated.

Do you have a list of these at the ready?

What are the benefits to the companies of increasing minimum wage if the condition for no tariffs is increase minimum wage and move production to US?

C++ minecraft should have an SDK for mods

It compresses executables.

I love these constrained devices. It'd be nice if there's a way to get the cost down.

Those features exist outside of the rendering engine.

I can barely tell the difference between Arial and Helvetica how is anyone gonna tell their derivatives apart.

I think only developers care about rendering speed like that. Most people are happy if the page loads in reasonable amount of time. UX people probably know what that means exactly.

How can you tell what section is the adder by the shape of wirings?

In this thread hacker news proves the article right. Head desk.

> One thing for sure. We need a way to run desktop applications in isolated containers in the same way mobile apps are run.

That's what Windows 10x is doing. Performance will most likely take a hit.

I mostly focus on the drinking.

Amazon just needs to release their sales data publicly if they want to use it and hope they can execute on it better.

I think it's funny that people are so focused in correcting him about Australia that they miss the point of his argument.

Lazy developer:

1. Write article in notepad

2. Create blog repo in github

3. Create issue and paste article
