If I felt that Microsoft was delivering high quality software and was a meritocracy I would cut them a lot of slack, no matter what opinions they espoused and who they favored or excluded.

Unfortunately I have to use Skype for Business literally every working day and it's symptomatic of a company that is fat dumb and happy, secure in its cash flow.

Nothing changes until people start to go to jail.

You can do an image search on your favorite search engine and look for someone like Donna Brazile, who has been in politics for a long time and understands appearing on TV.

Then you can look at the clothes she is wearing and realize that in every photo where she is wearing a lighter dress or jacket, the automatic exposure settings of the camera adjusted for the average lighting of the scene and underexposed her face.

That is why, because Brazile has done countless TV appearances for decades ... in most of the photos you can see that she wears darker jackets or clothing.

Take a raking kind of light, and shine it on a beige to brown colored wall, so that the light will be stronger on one side and gradually fade in intensity (that is, less reflected light) across the field of view.

Now place a different shade of brown upholstered chair, in front of this wall.

Take a photo using the Hasselblad X1D, currently considered to have the most accurate color of mainstream cameras.

Now try to print it accurately, even with the best quality paper and a high end inkjet printer.

Even master printmakers will struggle with it.

Why?

Not only that but they would change the behavior of a chip between revisions, so drivers for one revision, if they didn't take into account the changes, would suddenly stop working even though you bought the same ( but unknown to you, newer) version of the card.

(source: me, who worked at a company that made commercial Linux drivers for Matrox, ATI,NeoMagic etc. chips )

So basically if you printed a strange design on one of those T-shirts that can be printed on all over, you could fool the AI in most cases... the same way that "Dazzle" camouflage for ships, works... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage

Different for sure, but amazing that a $3-5 ESP8266 can output VGA (monochrome) with hardly any additional hardware: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=564673.0

There are zoning laws in many, many parts of the country that prohibit housing under a certain size, usually about 700 square feet, which is enough for 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths.

Everything you say is accurate, but, grad students have to start somewhere. If they can make a 65nm version that runs at say 500Mhz, that would be better. Remember that "real work" was done on desktops on a Sparcv8 chip that ran at 75Mhz or less.

If compliant with the Sparcv8 ABI it would immediately have a lot of software and compiler support.

Consumes water? What is the water changed into at the molecular level, exactly?

What are the sources you are quoting?

Summit demands an extraordinary amount of personal information about each student and plans to track them through college and beyond,”

If true, then, this info should have been in the first paragraph ...

I was wondering how they funded it, in this case with upfront fees.

See the "miracle of Wor"gl" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%B6rgl for a different way they addressed the problem.

Successful presentation of this idea is left as an exercise for the reader :)

For 100 gb that might grow to 1tb:

2x NVME drives, each 1tb in size. Buy pcie adapter as needed.

Buy used 256gb RAM server off eBay.

Install drives into server. Put all data on the nvme drives and all other files on regular drives.

Everything will fit in ram after the data is touched the first time after each boot. Can't get faster than that, usually.

Create user accounts for each user, set up git etc. for code storage and to encourage reuse.

After abusing the great majority of people in the US for the last 50 years both economically and socially, the elite are now surprised by the fact that some of the people have noticed.

I am certainly looking forward to trying it out!

ZFS is a great filesystem and being able to possibly have a better implementation than we do at the moment, or at least, be able to spur additional development and optimization, is very welcome!

Nothing will ever change until someone goes to jail, IMHO.

"What is the North Atlantic Oscillation?"

Greenland glacier called Jakobshavn, the largest in the north Atlantic, is growing in size after decreasing for several years. It's almost like there's a cycle...

Thanks for the reminder. I had seen it before, but I now see that it is active, with the last commit 8 days ago. I compiled it on my Linux box quickly and will be testing it out...

Alternatively, you can look at the completely free www.Aplusdev.org, "A+" language that was also created by Whitney.

There is also GNU APL which I have been playing with and has some good ideas also, including the ability to create scripts.

Doesn't this argue against a large amount of immigration by the unskilled, into those countries which are already at high levels of youth unemployment?

Check processing went from a building of 700 people to almost none, in one place that I know of. This was driven by the move to imaging checks electronically which I believe is called electronic presentment.

It's not that Biden is a 'toucher' but who he touches, and possibly why he touches.

Find video of his sniffing the hair of an old man for example ... You can't.

Pretty sure that totalization covers this

AWS is overpriced in a way, but people justify it. IMHO they justify it more than they should, but...

And just like Canada abandoned the Montreal (IIRC) goals just before they were due to take effect and destroy the economy, this law has no force or power until it actually goes into effect, starting 6 years from now.

Tldr : it's meaningless virtue signaling.

You want to clean up the planet? Start with the ten most polluted rivers, all in India or China, and the lead smelting industry which was forced to close in the US and then, predictably, moved to China...

Why let the facts get in the way of your unexamined beliefs?

Guess what emits UHF/VHF? Terrestrial TV stations and 900Mhz and 700Mhz cell phone towers , like Sprint and Nextel used to operate in the USA before their spectrum was traded/sold back to the government.
