Agree on your proposed outcome. If you have done any sort of social media moderation, you will very quickly develop an immediate reaction to even a trace of abuse or hostility from the users. There are so, so many assholes on the Internet,

And if we hadn't done that stuff, we would have seen even more than the 1M deaths we did experience. Things could have gotten significantly worse as the hospitals filled up and space was not available for Covid patients and all the oth

Yes, having a "friends" feature like on reddit would be welcome... though I find myself using it only very, very rarely. Even though I have well over a dozen accounts marked as "friends".

There are still some issues to be worked out, such as how the head shape distorts in some examples, but overall, this is very, very impressive work. Back in the old days, Disney and other animation studios rotoscoped actors performances by

Yes. All the software / DSP processing can't help if the physics is against you. By placing the microphone close to the mouth noises you make, you are increasing, by many orders of magnitude, the signal-to-noise ratio. Cars and ot

Interesting. I had learned a similar design back in the late 1970's early 1980's in school from classmates. I have learned some designs from books, but I guess we had a decent oral tradition, passing down good designs from grade t

I recall hearing this myth being circulated for decades. One of the reasons it likely persists is that people don't have a good understanding of what their brain does on a day-to-day basis, and they don't have a good idea of just

If it is any consolation, I got started on the Radio Shack Color Computer ecosystem, with the original version the the CoCo3. Back then, there was quite a bit of debate by the mid 1980's about the longevity of 8/16-bit processors

I had looked at FreeIPA, but support for non-Redhat systems seemed poor. Samba is the way to go for AD on Linux, in my opinion. You'll likely want to run Samba (smbd and winbind) on the Linux clients as well.

As /u/thr0wawayf00 mentions, they issued debit cards and allowed people to do direct deposits into their accounts. So people were using it like a bank for their ordinary day-to-day financial transactions. I, personally, would neve

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one who just wants a bank to be a bank. I've been with the same relatively small regional bank for 30 years. I have a checking account, savings account and that's it. They've been stabl

Agree completely. If you have any interest at all in the design of CPUs and instruction sets, I recommend viewing the entire series of video lectures by Ivan Godard: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFls3Q5bBInj_FfNLrV

The closest real-world thing would be something like The Connection Machine, which combined 64Ki processors in a hypercube. Individually, they had just a small amount of RAM for programs. Today's GPUs are more about executing the exact

What would be really cool is if you can cut-n-paste an existing diagram (possibly also with comment markers) and edit it. Then cutting-and-pasting it back into the source code.

Yes. The programming game TIS-100 gives you a view of the internal state of the machine far superior to what exists with most systems. The exception being that Commodore 64 emulator that shows _everything_ going on in memory in real time. M

And being stuck forever with a language that was invented over 50 years ago doesn't seem like a good idea either. If we want to take full advantage of the last half-century of PL research, we should just abandon Linux at some point and

If this is the end of the pyramid scheme, then thank goodness. There is some legit usage for blockchain technology. Like Internet based distributed & encrypted storage (erasure coding FTW). Beyond that, I don't know.

(Owner of Pixel 3a) Yeah, that's a bummer. There's not something else I'd rather own right now, so I'll likely keep running it for a while. But most other Android phones don't have a long support lifetime either. He

In some cases, you can ask the carrier to give you the unlock code, if the device is out of contract.
