Oh! I have a prefix sum laying around in SIMD in Rust, I use it for bitmap rasterization for fonts. Looking at the comments I guess this isn't a popular usecase, but useful nonetheless. Doing it on the GPU looks really fun
Oh god that's a throwback. I remember hanging out in the bukket IRC before all the legal debacles. I worked on MCSG and Wynncraft. It honestly was a blast slamming together patches on spigot(craftbukkit(nms))) onion; I remember writing a patch to run entities off main-thread among other things. I hope you're doing well and I hope Hytale is doing alright! I feel like everyone I intereacted with back then ended up doing well in tech in some form.
You don't even need a .zip domain to do this, just assign a misleading link i.e. [google.com](badsite.com). If the argument is going to be no one looks at the on hover link preview, then why bother even paying for a .zip domain in the first place? Going further, you can also just buy a similar domain to confuse people, which might even work better than buying the .zip since then you _might_ even catch careful people that glance at the on hover preview.
If I copy and paste the malicious URL into the terminal, or the browser’s location field, there’s no indication that it’s anything but what it appears to be.
Of course, there’s nothing unique about `.zip` other than that it’s a common file extension. Any TLD that makes for a convincing file extension could be used this way.
Hovering the link to preview its location in the status bar reveals the trick because the browser doesn't see any real slashes. The anchor's href (when inspected) actually does have the full bogus URL, but when hovered we're shown the browser-evaluated URL—which is a TIL.
Ah yeah my MSFT is in a state where everything is usable except Mojang account transfers. Support was unhelpful to gracefully resolve the situation, and recommended I give up and create a new MSFT account to hold the Mojang account, which I ended up doing. So now I have several MSFT accounts to hold various Mojang accounts.
I was thinking the same thing. Apple berates the user quite a bit to onboard to iCloud and other services; the screenshot of the new promotion looks about in line with that. If I was a Microsoft PM I'd just pitch the menu as "Apple has the same thing and users are complacent", and get sign off in no time.
I think this is fine battle to pick, I have OneDrive uninstalled on my Windows machine, but I think it's a bit silly a lot of users on here are fine with functionally the same ad somewhere else, I don't want to be berated anywhere on any OS.
macOS keeps a permanent 'important' notification in Settings if you don't setup iCloud. I see it every week when I use the iMac in the theater I help out at.
> If one were to have $100 million invested in the Speaker of the House's stock-picking abilities at the beginning of 2019, the same investment would compound to $192 million as of today, slightly off the November high, when the portfolio hit its peak of almost $309 million. Pelosi's strategy generated a negative year-to-date return of 36.04%, accompanied by a negative one-year return of 36.61%, both slightly underperforming the S&P 500 (SPY). - Q3 2022
I wanted to take a look at this because given stock trades are public you'd think there'd be an ETF to track trades for the speaker of the house, but in reality it seems like people wildly overstate the profitability of their winning trades and understate their losses because "slightly underperforming the S&P 500 (SPY)" doesn't make the same headlines. In the long term, they appear to be no better off than the average portfolio picker.
The last time I looked into this, the information on trades by members of the congress is delayed. Something like we know in which quarter they traded but not on which exact day, so the ETF doesn't really track their returns
they track "usual whale" trades, large or weird trades, often by well known figures. Congress is an obvious and easy one to track.
However, they're not required to disclose the trades in real-time, so following it closely may not really help and may hurt in the long run, as quick blips pops or runs fizzle out or revert as the market starts to react.
IIRC there is a 3-day or more lag. And that's optional, I think there is a 30 day requirement?
This just sounds like poor planning. I believe that if the parents prepared a list of people who met the relevant criteria and sought pre-approval at local hospitals for respecting their wishes, then this would be a non-story. I assume this is a possibility given there are services that let you use your own stored blood for transfusions that's donated if close to expiration. It sounds like they did not seek any form of pre-approval. This is relatively unsympathetic, no one plans to have their child need heart surgery on short notice, but if the parents have specific requests that they're worried will not be honored, then make sure of that before hand.
From the article, it sounds like the parent's blocked testing unrelated to bloodwork and transfusions as well. Many hospitals are willing to work with strange last minute requests (to some degree), but if they were being otherwise difficult then that reduces any patience the staff has to go out of their way to accommodate anything outside of the standard procedure.
Some reddit post looked at the % differences in core count and clock speed relative to each generation. It most closely fit in the spot a 4060Ti would fit in based its specs relative to the actual 4080.
The original intention for most of the flags was to keep them aligned with rsync. The feature only compressed the data in flight, as opposed to -Z/z which stored the compressed version. This didn't directly align to anything in rsync, so I picked an unused letter in rsync (-J/j).
In retrospect, it might have had a better home as some option on -Z/z, or if I had the tool figure out if you were bottlenecked on bandwidth, spare compute, and your data compressed well, and apply it automatically.
You're totally right! If anything the gsutil's -Z/z doesn't align with rsync's -Z/z, and gsutil's -J/j is a better match for what rsync's -Z/z does. I added -J/j well after -Z/z was there so it's something that we have to life with unfortunately.
