I think he was making the funny

Merriam-Webster raised the hackles of stodgy grammarians last week when it affirmed the lexical veracity of "irregardless."

The word's definition, when reading it, would seem to be: without without regard.

"Irregardless is included in our dictionary because it has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795," the dictionary's staff wrote in a "Words of the Week" roundup on Friday. "We do not make the English language, we merely record it."

Merriam-Webster defines irregardless as "nonstandard" but meaning the same as "regardless." "Many people find irregardless to be a nonsensical word, as the ir- prefix usually functions to indicates negation; however, in this case it appears to function as an intensifier," the dictionary writes.

How is this a CVE? Lots of stuff leak through side channels. I don’t get it.

And they've reversed it....

“Small businesses who stepped up to fight COVID-19 should be applauded by their government, not taxed for doing so. I’m pleased to announce we have directed FDA to cease enforcement of these arbitrary, surprise user fees. Happy New Year, distilleries, and cheers to you for helping keep us safe!” an HHS spokesman said in a statement provided to The Hill.

If it’s an executive agency discretion thing then Biden will waive it. Check back in a couple months, they’ll do it quietly.

Right this is where it gets complicated, especially by the fact that the US has country specific tax treaty agreements lots of places.

As a rough approximation, if you’re a US citizen, then You must file a US income tax return. The US taxes your worldwide income regardless of where it’s earned. BUT under most circumstances you would get a credit against what you owe the US for what you pay the country in which you earned the money and also wanted to tax you (no double taxation in theory)

It’s kind of a pain for someone living in say Kenya which doesn’t have a tax treaty with the US, but it’s not totally absurd to think you owe something to a country whose citizenship you continue to benefit from.

Through June 2021 they’re treating groceries and gas the same as travel towards the $300.

Also, the rewards points can be redeemed for statement credit with the same 50% travel bonus on this “pay you back” thing against grocery and restaurant purchases

Oh man, who is the guy doing the GPU fixes?! I need help...

No joking, just this morning outside my house in a residential neighborhood it’s raining heavily and a fully loaded prime van is gunning it and peeling out and fish tailing. I thought the driver was gonna crash for sure!

This is not easy. This is not an easy thing to do and protect the data. Please don’t call this easy.

wow that is surprisingly not terrible

Does INPUT work?

He should do a Patreon. Other people have done this sort of thing with this model over there. Seems sustainable.

Yeah I know. Before he edited his post he literally asked for a Windows Subsystem for Linux which is what it should be called. But Microsoft calls their Linux environment for Windows that. So....

I don't know if you heard already, but Microsoft did release a Windows Subsystem for Linux! Here's the wikipedia page and everything!

I find the naming scheme kind of confusing though.

Extremely popular and widely used. Pandas etc are Python implementations of R constructs

Do you live in Baltimore?

Yes, I recently discontinued my Comcast Xfinity Internet access and they were like, "Sad to see you go, but you can keep your Comcast email address forever pretty much."

Not surprised about Google's implicit complicity. They don't really think about this stuff at a corporate level.

Reminds me of this compression project from a few years back from Steve Chamberlin at Big Mess O' Wires, FC8.

FC8 is designed to be as fast as possible to decompress on "legacy" hardware, while still maintaining a decent compression ratio. Generic C code for compression and decompression is provided, as well as an optimized 68K decompressor for the 68020 or later CPUs. The main loop of the 68K decompressor is exactly 256 bytes, so it fits entirely within the instruction cache of the 68020/030. Decompression speed on a 68030 is about 25% as fast as an optimized memcpy of uncompressed data.

The algorithm is based on the classic LZ77 compression scheme, with a sliding history window and duplicated data replaced by (distance,length) markers pointing to previous instances of the same data. No extra RAM is required during decompression, aside from the input and output buffers. The match-finding code and length lookup table were borrowed from liblzg by Marcus Geelnard.

We had Clearwire in Baltimore City, it worked pretty well and provided a decent alternative to the only other options Comcast and Verizon DSL. Bummed when it went out.

The site is down, Is that ironic?

There were two major source code leaks.

you don't know much about Kurt Vonnegut's background.

I just bought a Sony and it’s running google android TV and it has suddenly got ads for “staff picks” now. “Free” movies on YouTube.
