I suppose the idea is that even if tourism brings in billions of euros, makes up 15% of the economy, and provides 150k jobs in a country where youth unemployment is rampant and jobs are hard to come by...
No, actually, I find it impossible to make sense of that.
This is about ping though, so presumably ICMP packets. There is no content to cache as the request is sent with random data that must be sent back in the reply.
It is very unlikely that VPN providers use convoluted caching systems just to make their ping replies appear to come from a different region than the one they claim to be in. It would be much more likely for them to add a little latency to their responses to make them more plausible, instead.
The change in Chinese output between 2023 and 2024 was an additional 15,000 tons, going from 255,000 to 270,000 tons.
I'm happy to assume Brazilian output will grow, especially if the USA invests a lot in it, but is it going to even be close to enough to make up for where China's already at?
The consumer VPN heyday has long passed. Most Mullvad endpoints i use are blocked in increasingly more places, including and especially reddit.
It's the only VPN I've tried thoroughly, so i don't know how they and Proton compare today (or, really, ever). The landscape has been degenerating across the board, I reckon.
I do see how it does, in a way. That something the designer thought is "invalid state" turns out a valid and possible state in real world. In terms or UI/UX, it's the uncomfortable long pause before something happens and screen renders (lack of feedback, feeling that system hangs). Or, content flicker when window is resized or dragged. Just because somebody thought "oh, this clearly is invalid state and can be ignored".
The real world and user experience requirements have a way of intruding on these underspecified models of how the world "should" be.
This somewhat reminds me of the old MakeProcInstance mechanism in Win16, which was quickly rendered obsolete by someone who made an important realisation: https://www.geary.com/fixds.html
Another seemingly underutilised feature closely related to {Get,Set}WindowLong is cbClsExtra/cbWndExtra which lets you allocate additional data associated with a window, and store whatever you want there. The indices to the GWL/SWL function are quite revealing of how this mechanism works:
Your snark is misplaced to such an extent that I suspect you have not actually read his books. Bourdain is genuinely obsessed with food, and when Kitchen Confidential entirely unexpectedly became a megahit and shot him from borderline poverty to wealth and fame, he was genuinely delighted to be able to (I quote) "travel around the world, eat a lot of shit, and basically do whatever the fuck I want." His admiration for (most) other cultures is genuine and many of his favorite destinations are also places that can hardly be called economically disadvantaged (Singapore, Japan, France, etc).
> popularizing a now-familiar posture among affluent Americans
So would it be preferable if they stayed at home, didn't share any of their wealth with less developed countries, and marinated in completely ignorant bliss of the world outside the USA instead?
I like to use the Svelte playground [1] for interactive information exploration in the widest sense and the p5.js playground [2] for generative art, animations, wallpaper creation etc.
Why no one talks about the pop "music" sounding like a human tragedy? Listening to that whining all day everyday is sickening. And yet (presumably) majority of people do that. Why no one talks about what is wrong with them?
What you say about memory indirect addressing is true only about MC68020 (1984) and later CPUs.
MC68000 and MC68010 had essentially the same addressing modes with 80286, i.e. indexed addressing with up to 3 components (base register + index register + displacement).
The difference is that the addressing modes of MC68000 could be used in a very regular way. All 8 address registers were equivalent, all 8 data registers were equivalent.
In order to reduce the opcode size, 80286 and 8086 permitted only certain combinations of registers in the addressing modes and they did not allow auto-increment and auto-decrement modes, except in special instructions with dedicated registers (PUSH, POP, MOVS, CMPS, STOS, LODS), resulting in an instruction set where no 2 registers are alike and increasing the cognitive burden of the programmer.
The spiritual works from major figures in the major religions, anything which discusses experience in negative terms making no positive statements, so things on emptiness/shunyata, non-duality, dependent co-arising, apophatic theology, unknowing, etc
I meant the universality (openness) of desktop computers comes under threat, as the "walled garden" model seeks to make the jump from mobile to desktop.
Any assumption made in order to ship a product on time will eventually be found to have been incorrect and will cause 10x the cost that it would have taken to properly design the thing in the first place. The problem is that if you do that proper design you never survive to the stage where have that problem.
I think the solution to that is to continuously refactor, and to spell out very clearly what your assumptions are when you are writing the code (which is an excellent use for comments).
It is fairly new, but very relevant for daily life, like many others are not. Thousands of people have tried to write smart algorithms to solve NP problems and many have thought they found an algorithm in P only to be disproven later.
Whether the Riemann hypotesis is true or not, is not going to have any practical effect, accept for a small group of mathematisians who are working on it. Most people do not know what a Field medal is nor care about it.
It depends on the county of course, but in my experience service workers at many “touristy” countries seem to benefit directly from tourism.
For example, some of the workers at resorts in Thailand went to college and studied Tourism, a major I didn’t even know existed, and their wages come directly from the tourist industry.
What countries in particular are you thinking of where the locals are very unhappy to see more tourists? I’ve heard Japan might be in that category, and the United States certainly feels that way, but did you experience this yourself?
