The QoL adjustments seem less granular than needed in the UK. "Everywhere else in England" covers a wide range of living conditions/costs. Areas like York & Harrogate are far more expensive to live in than the not-all-that-far-away Grimsby & Hull, to give one of many possible examples. If you are going to change what you pay geographically, I would suggest you need more local variance to do it properly.
Switch to being a tester for your first job. Learn a different point of view to producing quality software. If you want to go back into programming, it would less difficult.

FWIW, it’s a completely different architecture. GCN has support all the way down to 1.0. The graphics card in your EEE PC is upgradable, if you’re feeling adventurous[1].

Extensions are fair game, of course. As is not buying chips with closed extensions.

But designing the hooks for anti-user binary blobs into the ISA just encourages misbehavior as soon as they can get away with it.

RISC-V code in privileged and protected pockets of the systems is so much easier to design, maintain and update than ISA extensions that I consider that the bigger problem due to its future ubiquity.

There's even an easy way to tell the difference: emulating a CEO down to the clothes they wear, while knowingly peddling a fraudulent product? Cargo cult. Working your team hard and producing multiple massively successful products? Steve Jobs.
It was Ulysses S Grant, also the 18th President of United States. Fun fact, they both went to West Point and Lee graduated 2nd in his class whereas Grant was an average student at best, but during the civil war, Grant was the better tactician by most accounts and was willing to take heavy losses.

Grant was an alcoholic and his presidency was riddled with corruption and his reputation was damaged by the Lost Cause revisionists after his death, but compared to the other historical figures we regularly call 'great' he is a better person that most of them and I wouldn't think of him as a monster, he was an interesting and complicated chartacter.

" I don't see any way without either double-fat pointers, or terminating NUL."

You don't seem to have followed the discussion or the paper. The array length is known; a slice is a "fat pointer", but not "double-fat".

"The point isn't that doing things D's way isn't great; the point is that there's no reasonable way to put this feature into C."

You're plainly wrong; the proposal in the article does exactly that.

Important reminder:

- The atovaquone/proguanil (e.g: Malarone) combo still works well. It's affordable and widely available.

- It's also __curative__, meaning it DOES destroy the plasmodium in the liver (not just in the blood). The fact we are using it preventively often leads people to think we still can't cure malaria. If you have malaria, go see a tropical disease specialist to get rid of those nasty recurring episodes.

- Any anti malaria drugs have very serious side effects, even if Malarone is the nicest of all. If you end up living in a infected country for good, you should really ponder how long it's acceptable to take it. In the end, both the parasite and Malarone will attack your liver. Yeah, it sucks.

That being said, it's always good to have new options, if just to reduce the chance of resistance. Chloroquine based drugs (e.g: Nivaquine) are pretty much useless now because of it, and I don't know anybody who tried Mefloquine (e.g: Lariam) that will ever go back to it.
NHS mental health service – An honest review
Aye, but you said what I meant.

Look at another way - Apple moved from PowerPC to Intel. It's not that Motorola ISA weren't well established but they simply weren't as well established and didn't have access to the same mindshare in terms of high performance hardware and software engineering.

So in this sense it's a step back the other way - except for perhaps Intel seem to be stuck in the mire these days.
When I was working at Google (now retired living in Germany), I spent my first year there working insane hours and pushing myself beyond self-imposed limits. However, after dealing with burnout and having some close friends implode on the job, I soon realized that I was nothing more than a cog in a machine that would, if I let it, chew me up and spit me out.

I started gradually reducing the number of hours I worked for 'real' until, a few years later, I found myself working for two hours a day, choosing to spend the rest on things that contributed to my sanity and self-development (on company time). To fill the gap, I would work on my own software projects, socialize with co-workers, do research on things I found interesting and read books.

Needless to say, nobody noticed. I kept this up for a number of years and then I quit. Looking back on it now, those were some of the best, most carefree years of my life. There is nothing like getting paid a competitive six figure salary to mostly do the things you enjoy and not care one iota about corporate management structures.
Well today I learned something. Thank you !

It is telling that they had been preparing for this demo for 3 months and Jobs decided to come by two days before the demo, on a Saturday, only to trash the project and personally attack the developers.

It is quite the skill to be able to do that in a way that is motivational.

Had Wozniak not met Jobs there would have been no Apple–most likely he'd just be a gifted engineer working at an above-average position at some technology company that's likely not even around today because Apple ate its lunch. Also keep in mind that the last product that Wozniak really had a hand in was Apple II.
yep, I can confirm. This is a very stable project!
1. They only have four tiers (four equivalent tiers for hosted and on-premise technically). This is quite reasonable, as they need to provide flexibility for their customers. They are quite clear about which tiers provide which features.

2. This is purely subjective. I quite like the design, both more than GitHub and Bitbucket. They do have a UX team, and they conduct regular user tests. They've also made a lot of improvements and continue to make improvements, but design will always be subjective. You CANNOT please everyone

3. I suggest putting a thumbs up for https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18596, but ultimately it does create additional work for the UX team so I don't know if they'll end up doing it or not. You could try a user style, e.g. https://userstyles.org/styles/125366/gitlab-simple-dark

4. GitLab is a company and needs to make money to continue employing developers to continue developing their product. Open source devs volunteer their time on GitLab CE, not any of the closed source features, and GitLab has open sourced enterprise features in the past if the demand is high. Also, there is nothing wrong with comparing them to Microsoft, as Microsoft has thousands of open source projects and is quite the open source contributor.

I'd flip #4 on it's head. They aren't greedily restricting features, they are generously open sourcing features and giving them away for free. As a business, they have no obligation to do so.

There are other advantages of being a cheaper remote worker, cheaper than 'market rates'. One is that since you are cheaper, there may be less pressure on you to deliver at a certain speed. Which, in turn actually may allow you to work more carefully and over time deliver your work at a higher level of quality. This combination can lead to you being happier in the job and wanting to remain at it for longer and since you are cheaper your position is less at risk when your employer is going through restructuring.

College students who didn't plan their time properly.

The only reason it happens in those other white collar jobs is because it's cheaper for management to work a few people really hard than hire enough to the job with reasonable working conditions.

If you work like that you're literally sacrificing your free time and health for the benefit of the company's bottom line. Maybe if you're lucky you'll get a small bonus and 'recognition'.
Wi-Fi Preps for Leap to 6 GHz
The author's sentence is essentially a truism, because fiddling with information _as such_ and in theory doesn't use up any energy. As practically implemented in current CPU electronics, though, information needs to be communicated from point A to point B as a change in voltage. To convey that voltage change means having to move some amount of electrical charge into or out of the tiny capacitor that is a transistor's gate, via the non-perfect conductor that is the doped-silicon trace between the two points. Resistance saps part of the energy moving those electrons around and converts it to heat.
No, the quality of the compression depends on what is the probability distribution of your data blocks. If some blocks are much more likely to occur, then you can compress them better (put them in a smaller number of bits).

What I mean by "directly" is instead of having to do

y = y + c^-1 (x_i)

where c(x) is the compression function (and c^-1 is its inverse, decompression), we could define a function f such that

z = f(z, x_i)

and final y = c^-1(z). This f would entail both the "+" (operation to be done on the data) and c^-1 (the decompression).

In general, it's non-trivial to come up with f, but I do believe that it would be in many cases a better approach than to use the first method.

Floating-point numbers can be seen as a simple case of this. If we represent numbers in fixed decimal point, then we have a lot of 0s in the numbers (and also lot of digits of very low significance) that we mostly don't need to have there. Therefore, in practice, we use compression - floating-point representation. The operations on FP are more complicated (you have to align the mantissas before you do arithmetic operations), but it's a good trade-off.

It's worth noting that many modern proponents of democratic socialism have learned these lessons already and reject state control as the sole means of 'worker ownership'. Socialism and Co-operation are on a collision course. We are working more towards co-operative ownership, mutualisation and municipal ownership based solutions which take the best of liberal markets, where appropriate, and combine them with fair worker and community ownership models.
> You say strlen() but you probably mean "code has to iterate all the string elements".

Yes, but that's much more expensive than a memcpy (of the two source strings) or just knowing the length (of the string in the target buffer).

> Strcpy has to iterate through all the elements because it copies them. This would happen regardless.

No, it wouldn't; memcpy is generally a lot faster than strcpy.

> Do you not understand how C string/arrays work

Do you not understand that he's written a few C compilers, and designed and implemented a language that is known for its runtime compatibility with C?

> or why do you insist on 3 strlens?

Um, you already noted that he really means "code has to iterate all the string elements". What he should have said is that you have to find 3 NULs. That's an expensive operation even when you're copying the string while finding it.
>> It's been known for a long time that socialism always leads to extreme poverty

I don't think this is a well known, or even considered true. Take the biggest socialist countries, Russian and China. Compare them to what the conditions were like in those countries before socialist states took over. You will see massive improvements.
New tech doesn't mean the old tech is obsolete. It may be great for non-top-end phones... with a huge Chinese market.

So this kind of hit home for me, I feel like we should address the elephant in the room a bit more.

That's exactly what happened here.
>It's for this reason I would disagree with your premise that by not allowing yourself to be exploited you're forgoing future career success.

I did this early in my career for a few years, and it was absolutely worth it for my career in the long run. It wasn’t a one sided deal either. My boss allowed me to have all sorts of responsibilities that at the time, I absolutely didn’t have the experience to back up. I got through it entirely based on perseverance and hard work, and when I left that company I landed a much nicer job that was years ahead of what I would have otherwise been able to get. Now I’ve learned and done enough that I largely get to set the terms for my own employment. I haven’t even had to properly apply to a job since then.

It worked for me at the time, because I was young and didn’t really have any responsibilities outside of work. Situations like this are only really a problem if you’re not getting something bigger out of it, or if you have too many personal responsibilities to manage it.
Only if you want to remap to Esc. My preference is to set it as Delete. That I can not do w/o 3rd party apps.
Yes, the "app" ecosystem is ridiculous.

I think I don't need to remind you this. But most apps are nothing but browser wrapper for their specific URL. Most of them doesn't require a special purpose user-agent at all. Just standard web browser should suffice.

These days, when people hear there exits a new fashionable web service, they immediately search the "app" for that from locked-in app distribution platform offered by Apple or Google. Install the top result(hopefully the official app) without the doubt, and use that web service via the app even though that app is straightforward browser wrapper and nothing requires to be an app.

So in order to reach the mass, web services of today has no choice but to release the corresponding app even though their web service is 100% usable from ordinary web browser.

The smartphone makes people stupid.
Neat text. I'd be really impressed if I were to interview him, but then again: I'd never ask someone to write a fizzbuzz... hmmm...

+1 to that. I started as a QA hoping to switch to being a dev in the future. However I eventually grew to like my role and I enjoy my work very much. I am much better QA than (potentially) a dev. IT is not only programming, there are plenty of more roles there.
Imagine that we let murderers roam free. Ruthless Mafia-style lunatics would run everything because they'd have their competitors killed. And you'd still be saying, "Can someone who doesn't do that get where they got to?" This is "ends justify the means" thinking.

If, on the other hand, we tested everybody for sociopathy before they were allowed to manage other people or manage other people's money, I believe we'd still get at least as much innovation. Probably more, as monopolists like Gates and Kalanick were happy to work to crush competitors.

8 Big Mistakes Holding You Back as a Web Designer Pt.1
The iPhone was just the first successful, always-on, capacitive touch device. The market was largely focussing on resistive touch devices which Jobs successfully identified was the wrong way (though the stylus did keep your screen clean!).
> You are ignoring the whole other side of him that made him effective and revolutionary: His vision of the future was second to none.

Well, it's easy to say this after-the-facts.
The iPhone in my opinion was a HUGE gamble, and also in my opinion, was successful due to a stagnant smart/cell phone market and the desire to bring internet to the mobile world.
The first iPhone provided a fast HTML+CSS+Javascript-enabled browser out of the box, albeit with severe limitations, no external apps, no 3G.
Nevertheless Jobs had the luck to launch the iPhone at the right time, when no other manifacturer was daring to do that. And it was clear, when shortly after iPhone announcement, several other manifacturers released similar looking devices (Blackberry Storm, Nokia 5800)
At the risk of mirroring pure-awesome's comment: we could say the use of the word 'just' is derogatory, but it doesn't make sense to deny the distinction it draws.

There's a difference between a mechanical engineer, and a car technician. There's a difference between serious algorithmic work, and code-monkey work. One is more demanding than the other.
For Zildjian, it's a no-brainer to re-train an existing employee to use a new pressing tool than to lay them off, hire another employee, and then train them to use the new tool that the original employee could have just learned in the first place. It's not a company secret that CNBC managed to pry from the Zildjian CEO, it's just common sense. This is why I say that the article's reason is hardly a reason for Zildjian's no-layoff practices, because this sort of common sense is applied in many companies where layoffs are still present. The most significant reason (among other contributing factors) is the "increasing workload during recessions" practice that I described.
The machine mode is there for a very good reasons of microarchitecture design scalability, allowing the same machine model to be presented to the operating system with everything from tiny designs to everything-in-hardware. In all existing designs it is open source. It's quite reasonable to have this explicit layer, since in many other cases it has been hidden away (think: Transmeta, or many x86 emulators).
If I'm understanding the article correctly, they can't recover users' data even if both the T2 chip and the NVMe storage are working - the entire laptop needs to be functional in order for them to get data off. Any failure of any important mainboard component leads to complete data loss.

If you need more than 10 minutes to sum the cubes of numbers from 1 to n in python, then I think you have a problem as a programmer.

Can you point to a leetcode problem that takes you 2-5 hours to solve?

Edited: Two weeks ago you submitted a similar post and in the comments you give this example:

I don't know where you live, but generally that is applied to people who have all the other things and are still unhappy.

A sharp friend of mine takes advantage of this. He looks for a full-time job, and then says, "Look, I'd rather work 4 days for 80% of the pay, so just make me an hourly employee at 32 hours a week." He's really good and will stay at the same place for many years, so somebody will say yes.

Then, no matter what crazy things are going on, he's insulated. As he says, "full time is full time, but 32 hours is 32 hours."
8 Things Your Brain Is Missing Out to Live a Peaceful Life
The biggest framing issue is simply what you choose to report. The news headlines implicitly tell us what is important in the world. The agenda can be drastically manipulated simply by choosing what issues to focus on and what issues to gloss over. If you look at the headlines and ask "what proportion of these stories materially affect my life?" or "what proportion of this information can I meaningfully act upon?", the news media takes on a very different complexion.
