A strong predictor for success I've noticed in others (and in myself) is: give a shit.

I.e. deeply care about what you are working on. Some individuals care so much about the field they are in that they disregard the proxy metrics that judge their level (grades, awards, titles...). For some, the strong academic path happens to perfectly match up to their pursuit of passion. Others see the academic part as a hindrance to their passion and end up equally successful.

On the flip side, following some proxy metric in order to achieve passionate success doesn't work. You can't aquire passion with good grades† and dropping out of education because that's the cool thing to do ALSO doesn't buy one passionate success.

Yes this reeks of survival bias, but every single successful person I know is really passionate about the field they are in. They are always thirsty to learn more and go deeper.

†: as with everything, there are exceptions: individuals who are highly motivated by peer recognition. Everyone is different and we can't generalize too broadly.

> Apple is widely rumored to also consider switching to their quite credible in house ARM based processors.

Perhaps like many others who frequent the industry news, I'm wondering if the future simply looks like macOS on ARM with people moving clang targets to an `arm-apple-darwin` that's macOS compatible.

I wonder how far off this future is and what it means for the valuation of Intel. Will it translate to a small dent in their share price?
Well, it's fun to notice and appreciate those kinds of things, and to the analytical mind of a rational optimist, that wants to believe everything as carefully planned and premeditated, and released as profound craftsmanship and perfected design, to uncover something like that is probably profoundly enthralling.

There's an alternative reality, known to anyone who has made art for art's sake though, and especially if you've spent years making purposeless art with no consequence in the outcome of whether a work declared as "finished" actually needs to be "good."

When you sit around all day, pouring and extruding your unfiltered stream of consciousness into realized tangible forms that you can pick up and hold, or record and play back, you're left with this huge backlog of scrap left on the cutting room floor. Taken out of context, some of it is artful, and "good enough" to stand on it's own, but doesn't belong in the "finished" piece.

But when you find a couple of rhyming chunks, you can take that leftover flotsam and fold it into a subsequent piece, recycling throwaway outtakes as part of some other whole, to enrich it.

In that sense, those kinds of matching details aren't actually planned. It's just opportunistic reuse of leftovers to enrich and go along with something that was planned.

Example: sometimes you're forced to produce "things," and so due to external expectations you make a bunch of "stuff" but because you weren't motivated, 90% of it is trash. But you don't throw it away, because it still possesses recognizable style. So you throw it in a box and let it collect dust. Then weeks or months or years later, when you need filler, you dig some matching trash out of the dustbin, and cobble together some cruft to patch some holes and gaps, where the daylight is peaking through on your finished piece. Now, that illusory facade enriches your intended work all the more.

This is a technique common in "art" that impresses people who've never had a chance to make a thing for it's own sake, without said thing having to require practical utility or actually "work" in any appreciable way.

It's the art student's corollary to the academic version having to write 1000 words for a grade, and 900 of those words are rambling drivel, or having to publish N research papers a year, so you throw together a backlog of p-value hacks that seem interesting but prove nothing and indulge in pointless, speculative editorialization as science.

At the core of all the work, you either like the sum total of everything, or you don't, and in general, you're picking up what that guy is putting down overall.

But as with all disciplines, in every field, people have to make frankenstein monsters out of filler bunny all the time. Any artist worth their salt is always trying to operate from the space where they can unspool as much of their style as possible, with total freedom and unlimited resources, because they know that even on the days when they aren't hot, some of the junk they make, can still serve as decorative paper mache fodder.

This article is missing many critical details. Most notably it doesn't touch on the core identity crisis Intel has been having since the i386. When Intel cut off third party "fabs" from producing its chips, it became reliant on high margin chips that were completely vertically integrated. In a sense this incentivized the company to ignore lower margin fields like embedded and mobile. Obviously the iPhone changed the game in mobile, and showed that there is a space for high-margin mobile parts. Intel was equipped for this transition because they spent years optimizing their CPU->Factory connection. Their factories were optimized to bump out CPUs, not mixed silicon, to the point where Intel's own wireless group would produce wireless Chips at TSMC. Intel faced dwindeling consumer demand, which led to factories not being full, which led to less investment in chip fabrication. Keep in mind in the last several years, Intel's main chip performance advantage was due to the superior manufacturing abilities of it's factories. Better factories mean more transistors per inch, more transistors means more cores and IPC (assuming competent designers). Intel's inability to produce general silicon hurts them to this day, as Intel's effort to open its fabs to the general public have largely failed (Intel Custom Foundry). A further issue that plagued Intel was it's inability to produce integrated mobile SoCs in a timely manner. Intel Acquired infineon when they realized they needed a quick pathway to building an integrated 4G modem. Ultimately the product was not built in time, but at least now this investment is kind of paying off as Intel has won the modem spot in modern iPhones. However Intel was not able to put together a product competitive enough with Qualcomm due to the time it takes to mobilize enough resources to build a high end SoC.
Reasonable advice. Thank you both.

Well, unless you're leaving something out, you just said that the less education a person has, the more capable they are - so, reductio ad absurdum, the most capable people in the world are middle-school drop-outs. But I suspect you're trying to suggest that education and competence are completely uncorrelated (which is a claim that would be hard to back up, incidentally) and that "something else" is an indicator of competence/intelligence/capability, but you're not specifying what you think that is.

You tied together a lot of threads that I've been loosely aware of here. Nice post. I hope we a have the chance to elucidate what of these links is relevant and actionable.
Okay I should have found out before that there are many good apps solving the problem. Thank you for your advices anyway! After testing some of them, let me also answer my question by myself. I tried the apps Simple Scan, Tiny Scanner, Cam Scanner and Microsoft Office Lens. I skipped Adobe Scan, as I had to register before being able to use it. (The Free versions of) Simple Scan and Cam Scanner had too much ads for my taste. I could not find Readdle's Scanner Pro for Android in Google's playstore.
Imo Tiny Scanner worked best for my particular problem. You can take picture after picture, cropping, stretching and brightness adjusting is almost automatic. After that you can save the scan series into a single PDF file.
Also of good quality is Open Note Scanner, which however does only cropping and brightness/contrast adjustment without stretching, cropping and assembling to a PDF file.

For photographs, paintings and screens I also liked Microsofts Lens, which is perfect for stretching and cropping without brightness/contrast and monochrome adjustment.
That is some oddly circular logic. Production scrutiny means that they aren't in good shape?

> that's still personal opinion, even if grounded in experience

I just wanted to make it clear how and why I've formed that opinion.

> unless we want to argue that all bugs are safety issues

Yes, I can definitely be accused of expanding the definition of safety to include all things that cause programs to crash in horrible ways. I look at it as differing levels of guarantees the language makes for you, and Rust makes many more at compile time than others. This adds to the learning curve you mention, is it worth it? Completely depends on if you see those guarantees as valuable.
I hate to say this, but the MTA/Subway in NYC has reached the level of service that you can expect from a third country system. The pain is even worse during the summer where all stations have a mix of scorching heat and humidity, and it feels almost like you are in a sauna.

The MTA doesn't just need more money, but a completely change in leadership as well, and putting new people that have higher expectations on the service, and that actually use it themselves.

Even simple thing like "scheduled maintenance" notices look like they were design for lawyers and not normal people.

The current management is totally dysfunctional, and yes Ny Gov. Cuomo is part of the problem. (and the boob wants to run for President). He is going to run down the country just as he is doing with the MTA.

> In the engineering/academic world, grades do matter and are highly predictive of ability.

Can you cite some research studies that conclusively show this to be the case?

I'd like to counter by saying that companies like Google have largely ignored GPA as a measure of aptitude. From the article (link below):

"Google doesn't even ask for GPA or test scores from candidates anymore, unless someone's a year or two out of school, because they don't correlate at all with success at the company. Even for new grads, the correlation is slight, the company has found."

> Any gamers or graphics experts here?

> And what's problem then with Intel's integrated graphics?

I play video games. The problem with Intel's integrated graphics is simple: they have historically not been powerful enough that you can run many video games at a playable fps.
>My experience is that they just don't run software that wasn't sourced from their distribution's package repositories. That is certainly an advantage of the appstore model, but you have to admit it is significantly more limiting that being able to get the latest version of something by downloading it from the vendor's website.

It would be very limiting if it were reality, yes. I frequently download packages that aren't part of the default distro repo though. There's lots of PPA's, and I also install a lot of software just by extracting it into a directory in my home folder and running it.
Agreed. They should have just filed for bankruptcy instead.

> Recently I looked into AMD's 2400G APU with much superior graphics but I don't understand what is it for. Sure it can sort of run some games at mediocre frame rates on last-century 1080p monitors, but not higher.

Historically, AMD/ATI integrated graphics chipsets were a budget-friendly alternative to avoid the performance void that Intel integrated graphics provided. Everyone who gamed on the budget end knew this. You looked for AMD/ATI integrated, or if you had the money to spend, NVIDIA had some discrete solutions as well.

Over the years, Intel stepped up their game and closed the gap. However, these days even the Intel Iris platform is poor where used, because it's typically utilized on higher-end computing where high resolution monitors are provided to match.

Because pixel fill rate is a bottleneck for all graphics solutions, the gains that Intel Iris provide are set back by the higher resolutions they tend to be required to drive.

I had some trouble using ReadOnlySequence in a library I am writing (mostly because of no documentation). After looking through how Kestrel uses it(they started using Pipelines in ASP.NET Core 2.1) I found their BufferReader[1] class. It made using ReadOnlySequence much easier.

Overall, pipelines have been really solid for me so far. Working out how to use it without documentation was a total pain though, hopefully they get that out soon. If anyone is interested I can throw the library up on GitHub if anyone wants some real world examples of using pipelines.

I have never asked or cared what grades anyone ever got. I don't think that there is any correlation between grades and real world performance. I am in the software engineering space though and I think that there is a lot of room for creativity. Having rigor in academic engineering isn't always useful and I've found actually prevents you from getting things to the good enough stage.

I totally agree that "determining a good hire requires multivariate". Maybe grades are a proxy for other meta skills, but I think evaluating those skills directly are a better indicator.
Google has done this for a while, but at the level of recognized entities, not at the level of individual queries. Is that how the engine you're referring to worked too? Eg, would the "lkw attachment" example above have partitioned results?
