That's right. I do projects that interest me. I see problems in life. For example, not being able to read menus, making a map of the range of an electric bike, etc.

I build solutions: my own Chinese translator + 20k menus. An offline map program that lets me draw a circle of a given radius. I have lots of these little projects.

Money isn't possible, because I have a maximum wage. My visa & contract don't allow me to do side work. I wish that other people would benefit from my work, but I don't want to spend money to buy users, because they won't be paying it back later.
You believe Tesla is going from zero Model 3's to 900k Model 3's in a 3-year timespan?

To put that into perspective, that's more annual production and sales than the Toyota Camry plus Toyota Corolla.

You can be a good programmer in or out of a suit. I just did a Google image search for Vint Cerf, and didn't find any pictures of him in anything other than a suit.
I love Tesla, but I'm reminded of this quote from Scott McNealy during the first tech bubble:

"[T]wo years ago we were selling at 10 times revenues when we were at $64. At 10 times revenues, to give you a 10-year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends. That assumes I can get that by my shareholders. That assumes I have zero cost of goods sold, which is very hard for a computer company. That assumes zero expenses, which is really hard with 39,000 employees. That assumes I pay no taxes, which is very hard. And that assumes you pay no taxes on your dividends, which is kind of illegal. And that assumes with zero R&D for the next 10 years, I can maintain the current revenue run rate. Now, having done that, would any of you like to buy my stock at $64? Do you realize how ridiculous those basic assumptions are? You don’t need any transparency. You don’t need any footnotes. What were you thinking!"

I'm not sure what that accomplishes.

The "entire API surface area," as you put it, surely includes more functions than the only one you need for a landing page's hello-world. I don't evaluate something like Simulacra with a hello-world in mind, else I wouldn't need Simulacra.

My advice is to just change "one function" to "tiny API". Or maybe "just three functions in the public API". That's just as respectable and spares you from needing to split your API into a pointless "helpers" namespace.

const {bindObject, bindEvents, animate} = require('simulacra')

^ looks ideal to me.

The real problems with Skylake-X are chipset cost, power consumption, shitty partner boards, and TIM. All of these are forgivable given the performance - except the TIM.

Chipset cost will come down in 6-12 months after launch like it always does. This is part for the course, at launch X370 boards for Ryzen were going for well over $250 as well.

Power consumption is a consequence of AVX512 and the mesh interconnect along with raw core count. Everyone wants higher clocks, more cores, and more functional units. There are no easy efficiency gains anymore, and this is the price - power consumption. This is the "everything and the kitchen sink" processor and it runs hot as a result - but it absolutely crushes everything else on the market. This is no Bulldozer.

Board partners with insulators on top of their VRMs was going to come to a head sooner or later. This is the natural outgrowth of form over function, RGB LEDs on everything and stylized heatsink designs that insulate the board instead of actual cooling. The terrible reviews on those boards will sort this problem right out, they will be unusable in their current form.

Intel has been cruising for issues with their TIM for years (since Ivy Bridge), this time they finally have a chip that puts out enough heat they can't ignore it. Intel can get away with making you delid a $200 i5 or a $300 i7, it's not acceptable on a $1000 processor.

There is still a market for a 6-12C HEDT chip that can hit 5 GHz overclocked. This thing absolutely smokes Ryzen in gaming at stock clocks let alone OC'd - single-thread performance is still a dominant factor in good gaming performance and this chip delivers in spades. Combining its leads in IPC and clocks, it's fully 33% faster than Ryzen in single-thread performance. This is just a brutal amount of performance for gaming. Unfortunately without delidding you're not going to hit good OC clocks given the current TIM. And delidding is a dealbreaker on a $1000 CPU.

TIM is the actual core problem with Skylake-X - everything else will sort itself out. Skylake-X with solder would be a winner and Intel would be wise to turn the ship as fast as possible. The 6C and 8C version are priced much more reasonably and will sell great as long as they fix the TIM problem.

Intel claims they have problems with dies cracking, but AMD manages to solder much smaller dies, so IMO Intel just doesn't have a leg to stand on here. This is not something that should be pushed onto the customer with a $1000 processor - you're Chipzilla, figure something out.

> why not fix the way the mentioned biases

What if the biases are deep-rooted and subtle and difficult to address without destroying productivity with endless ceremony? What if the biases exist beyond that single organization's control, but still affect them? If the waves are pushing you in one direction, pointing your bow slightly in the opposite direction might really be the right thing to do.

> The idea that the best way...

Few think it's the best way. The problem is, eliminating systemic bias will take a long time. During that time, new victims of that bias will continue to be created. If the introduction of a contrary bias helps more people than it harms, is that really so crazy?
True, BA is a way to educate people until the service isn't needed. That could be a problem, but I have the feeling there are plenty of people who can't cook. The question is - can the afford these lessons?

Segmentation and checksumming are very common, with the segmentation often called TSO (Transmission Segmentation Offload) for send and LRO (Large Receive Offload) for receive. However, usually when referred to as a TCP Offload Engine (ToE) it does mean pretty much the whole protocol, as least a functional subset of it anyway. Windows and FreeBSD support ToE with some NICs. Linux has rejected full ToE in mainline for a number of pretty solid reasons:

Then define "Best". The problem is, you can't come up with an objective metric for it.
Also remember that AMZN went on to lose 90% of its value in the early 2000s.

At what point would you consider TSLA to be overvalued? Do you have an idea of where your personal alarms start buzzing? Anyone can say the naysayers are wrong on the climb but the problem with bulls is their optimism and it would be interesting to see your working that justifies a particular price for TSLA.

What C++ unit testing framework are you using, and how do you like it? Is it easy to get started using it? Are there many footguns?

Pregnancy at least used to be one of the things insurance companies were excited to cover you for. It means you aren't sick, and the more money they spend (and labor is pretty cheap, compared to a lot of health care), the more likely they'll save it in the future by having a healthy mom and a healthy baby. Unhealthy/premature babies can be a huge ongoing expense.

Speaking as someone who lived in China for many years: one of the biggest culture-shock differences Westerners (and particularly Americans) experience in Chinese cities is how people will straight up refuse to help strangers they don't know.

This is not because Chinese people are dicks. Frankly, if you're a (white) foreigner, you're going to be treated better than average by almost everyone as it is. But people hold back, because helping other people has the potential to have huge negative consequences if you get involved.

Here in the states, people are amazingly open to helping someone they've never met. This cultural assumption works because everyone 'just knows' that the person helping is not responsible for anything beyond that particular interaction. We even have Good Samaritan laws on the books that ensure that it is legally safe to do your best to render assistance in extreme circumstances.

It is the complete opposite in China. If you help someone, it is assumed that you are taking responsibility for their entire problem. (Yes, I am oversimplifying, there's more to it than this. But this is an accurate general gist.)

I don't know anything about this fellow, but this particular video of his, at least, does an excellent job explaining what is going on:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y4vXYfa06k

He is talking about the modern experience, but it is the same as what I remember from the 80's. The only thing I disagree with him about is that I do not see it as a new phenomenon.
Some of my colleagues speculated that this was not the intended study. Originally, they might have tried to delete a gene, but the expected phenotype didn't show up, which would have put an end to that line of research. But instead of completely abandoning the project they figured they could sequence the mice that were still around to see what the off-target effects were, and they thought they found something surprising and important.

I'm a dwarf with disability in limbs, my biggest concern has been navigation in smartphones/apps; especially since they are growing in size. Fortunately I have good engineering experience and was able to customise my devices (android: pie controls) according to my needs. I wonder whether the reason we didn't see much tweets in the post for people with limb disabilities are because they weren't able to access twitter in the first place.

I must credit smart watches (Android wear/ Apple Watch) here, I'm sure it helps a great deal for people with disabilities. Accessibility is one good reason for not to let smart watches die. I'm planning to write a blog post on this context soon.

> At 10 times revenues, to give you a 10-year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends

Or you spend 10 years growing revenues by 10x and then, at the end of your 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th years, pay a dividend equal to 5% of revenues and earn your investors a 9.3% IRR. Or grow revenues 20x and yield them almost 25% of IRR. (Both analyses assume you close down shop at the end of Year 15 and so represent lower bounds.)

High-multiple plays rely on growth. Whether that growth assumption is rational depends on the context.
How do you find out what the compiler says for the return type? Is that covered in the book somewhere? I feel like this might help me quite a bit in my struggles.
There's a lack of proportionality to the "system" you describe.

Someone with a dozen twitter followers, all friends and family, who has no intent to "broadcast to as many people as possible" but just to comment to acquaintances, can say something juuuust a little bit ignorant and, if they happen to get noticed by an "influencer", suddenly have thousands of angry replies, calls to their employer, death threats, etc. They might not have even been broadcasting on twitter, but might have told a joke to a friend in a public place, perhaps even a joke that was misunderstood or misheard by someone listening in, and then suddenly find themselves in the middle of a storm. And it's not typically a storm of people correcting mistaken ideas or helping them reason through errors, but a storm of people seeking vengeance -- not "hey man, that thing you just said is demeaning and wrong", but "you're a bad person and you should be cast out of society".

That is not "the system working as intended" (well, maybe it is in some peoples' minds, but if so it's a terrible system!) That's not a system that fixes ignorance; that's a system that creates a black market for unpopular opinions and that creates fear and resentment.

I don't think you know what day of the week it is friend.

A study by the Standford CS department shows that total productivity sharply declines after 50 hours of work in a week. Mistakes get made, inefficiencies are introduced. I only shoot for 60 because I can typically vary the work and disperse it over the weekends, which helps.

https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs201/projects/crunc...

Also my fiancee supports me in my efforts and gives me an extra reason to go to work in the morning. She makes me more productive and provides much needed support and motivation (we largely depend on my salary at the moment). Now sure if I had no desire for a family or friends or life experiences and became some kind of solitary engineer-warrior-monk, and was able to do so without falling into severe depression, maybe I'd be marginally better, but the difference would not be nearly enough to warrant the sacrifice. Even Elon Musk spends some (albeit limited) time with his family and talks about how he's had to tone it down recently (from getting 4 hours a night to 6 hours), and recently tweeted about having a fun night mixing wine and ambien. I have no doubt he works harder than me, but even he has a family and down time.

Also, I work at a big traditional defense contractor. Large companies are hardly monolithic. Some programs suck and are staffed by lazy/ineffective engineers, but my program's customer is quite satisfied at the moment, as are other programs' customers. That's why we get business, we do have competition that will take it from us if we don't deliver. You can't paint 100,000+ employees with one brush, and trying to do so makes you sound unintelligent. Correspondingly your statement "What the issue is at traditional companies doesn't matter, the fact is that they suck and they cultivate lazy engineering." makes it clear that you're not interested in discussing the issue and more interested in validating your own beliefs, which you have no evidence for beyond having "read some interviews". Once again, that diminishes your credibility.

And I don't give a damn what you think about my 3rd grade drawings (fyi you clearly rushed through reading my post and missed the phrasing, I don't have a 3rd grade kid). It was meant to support the statement that I actually am passionate about space tech and would love to work on what SpaceX works on, nothing more.

And warm-fuzzies are clearly something you need more of in your life. Tesla will probably help save the world, but they're hardly the only force out there, or even the decisive force when it comes to combating climate change. Even if they fold I don't think you have too much to worry about.

I've been polite up to this point, but I'll be blunt: You sound like a 14 year old who's sole knowledge of the world comes from blog posts. Which is fine, but don't expect anyone to take you seriously. You have to earn that when you're in a room of strangers (which is what this forum largely is), and you've only done the opposite.

1. There's a reason Rebublicans want that ID.

2. They know most poor people have enough obstacles just waking up.

3. Why make grandma, who can't drive, has health problems, go down to DMV and get an ID? Especially, when their isn't a proplem with voter fraud?

4. Rebublicans know that just a bit of extra effort will cause the disenfranchised to stay home that day. The head honchos in charge of Government entitlements know that if they make it a bit more difficult to qualify; most people will just not bother to apply. It's not rocket science.

5. Hell--the rich figured it out long ago. Take away a few obstacles that most young people gave to deal with, and in a few years with the right incentives, and support, you will have a young, budding capitalist. You will never take away that stupid look in portraits though.
Your wife could move to the US, get even a minimum wage job, and sponsor you for an IR-1. This would require living apart for probably at least a year.

Or, if she has any family or friends in the US, they can sponsor you. This is what I did for my wife's visa - my brother sponsored her.

Or, if you have some savings, you can use that instead of income. Savings counts 1/3 as much as income.

Or... you really should not go to the US on the visa waiver program with the intention of filing for adjustment of status after arriving. But, if you do enter the US without that intention, you can then file for adjustment of status.

I would not bother filing for any other type of visa, personally. Permanent residence will, among other things, make the job search easier.

Power/frequency scaling is quadratic since voltage can decrease with frequency, so even the 10% difference in base clocks could explain it, depending on where in the voltage/frequency curve they are.

Plus, this is Intel's 3rd iteration on the same process; even if the feature size doesn't change you can extract a bit more power efficiency with 2 years of feedback.

Apple is a great case to bring this up. Like I said, "usually".

In this case, you managed to pick the stock that is trading currently at a 16.85 P/E, which is about half of GOOG and MSFT. It's even less than the S&P average (25.73). And Apple has a huge amount of cash in reserve overseas.

If you look at tech hardware, such as Apple, Intel, TI, TSMC, QCOM, they are traded at a much lower P/E multiple than software companies. nVidia and AMD are the darlings of that sector now and are pushing valuations, but the whole semiconductor sector has had a huge run up in prices.

And yes, I'd say that is partially do to having a supply chain, and a lot of physical capital, such as semiconductor fabs. But that is the kind of capital that you can more easily sell off than software.

I have a similar feeling about Vuex in the Vue world. Trying to recreate the Elm architecture without Elm ends up being a bit awkward. It's not just immutability and pure functions, as others have noted, it's even more down to a lack in JavaScript of algebraic data types (tagged unions) and pattern matching. Without those, and other Elm language features, you end up getting some quite obscure looking and verbose code and "magic" strings all of which is difficult to type-check (e.g. Flow). Good old-fashioned singleton state modules work better for me.
