Yes, I have this concern with the new deluge of TLDs. Now something.anything could be a link but also means it might not be. www.something.anything would at least make that clear if your TLD is not easily recognizable. Even recognizable brands give me double-takes when they use their TLD like a .google address doesn't look like an address at all.
Yeah, if you're going to pay over $500 for a processor you might as well let it run. But perhaps the marketing should be adjusted.

This strikes me as the most pointless excuse for an app - if you are technically inclined enough to understand why using Cloudflare’s DNS in place of your cellphone service provider’s could be beneficial, you are probably also very much capable of typing “1.1.1.1” in the network preferences on your phone...

EDIT: I stand very much corrected, at least with regard to iOS and mobile carriers - I wrongly assumed DNS settings were exposed for the mobile connection the same way it is for WiFi, where it can be very easily manually overridden. As someone who doesn’t use an Android phone I’m even more surprised from comments below that Android doesn’t even allow this for WiFi via the stock settings app.

That this would also allow you to set cloudflare’s DNS globally for all WiFi connections on iOS rather than the current Settings app’s per-network basis is also an interesting advantage.
TDP="Thermal design power"... (the amount of designed cooling power to get max cpu performance). ̶W̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶y̶s̶t̶e̶r̶y̶?̶

Mystery might be also in the nuance of turbo vs base frequency draw. So even if you design for TDP as the "max thermal dissipation" you might get only base frequency performance.

On a side note people often confuse TDP with the max power draw of the processor. Intel does not specify total power draw probably because processor scaling is such an important consideration. If you have a system, the easiest way to figure out what max draw from the power source is to consult the power brick.

What is want is for retirees to not be able to keep subsequent generations far away from the same opportunities they enjoyed when they were the same age and raising families. Economic growth is the lever I happen to think can accomplish this best. If you've got a personal issue with that idea, then I'd be just as fine with not allowing you to live within city limits once you retire/reach 65/some similar metric.

The older generation is strangling the subsequent ones, and their countries, because they refuse to change anything about their lives. This is forcing the younger generations to miss out on all the aspects of life that the older generations thought we're important and enjoyed in their youth.

When I hear a retire complain about proposed housing _and_ ask their 30 year old children why they haven't given them grandkids yet, all I can think is that brought that on themselves. They don't live on an island, and the choices they are making have downstream affects on everyone

Edge cases are good reasons.

In some cases a single edge case can be the reason to make a decision.

If your attitude is “working in 99% of cases is good enough”, that means over a long enough period of use, 100% of your users will encounter an edge failure.

The way to even have a shot at 99% of your users a good experience is to constantly let edge cases force your hand.

I suspect a lot of it is caused by an emphasis on energy efficiency, which means tightly sealed rooms and HVAC that's set to recirculate the majority of air rather than bring in fresh air from outside.

I don't think anybody is arguing against you. "Sprint" is just a terminology, maybe not the best one but it's not like you're supposed to "maintain an unsustainable pace". Working after hours would be undermining yourself in Scrum for exemple (your daily speed would now be supposing you do overtime)
To clarify for the down voters, I didn’t mean to insult, I meant to imply it was an unfounded fear (as most tinfoil conspiracies are). Most folks I’ve talked to who do it, didn’t know about the impossibility of turning on the camera without the light on current gen hardware. When I told them about the very real risk of listening to audio without any similar visual indication they were rightly alarmed. I’m actually calling for the ability to either have a hardware mic cutoff or at minimum a visual indication similar to how the camera does.
> This is not a core idea of Agile. The high level estimates are not part of Agile- fixed scope, time, and cost is the opposite of agile. You are just doing extra fake work around what is a fixed design process.

In the first edit of this comment, before I submitted it, I said "we don't really do Agile, we do Agile-Lite" – I cut this line because I've heard this repeated by leadership and I've asked what does it mean, and never got an answer. I almost wanted to include it, so maybe I understand now!

Developer teams are Agile. Dev leadership is Agile-lite.

> The high level estimates are not part of Agile- fixed scope, time, and cost is the opposite of agile. You are just doing extra fake work around what is a fixed design process.

Leadership tries to fix scope, time, and cost on the long-term calendar because we want to deliver predictably, to not appear unpredictable or unreliable. As much as I tell upper management that you can't have fixed scope, time, and cost, they persist in trying to fix all of those.

And their budgets and goals seem to win over my objections, damn near every time!

I'm not doing extra fake work, I'm taking direction from senior leadership. Their work may be fake. Your opinion on their fake work, is duly noted, and I'm going to decline to state whether I agree for political reasons (in so many words, I like my boss and I rarely get time of my own to interact with the bosses boss.) I try to do my work and not rock the boat. Which is why I might get a demand to do something in 6 weeks that is clearly going to take 12, and just do the work. "We'll be given the extra time when we need it." That's healthy, even if it's somewhat dishonest.

> No, they don't estimate in hours or days because those are commitments that are used against them- regardless of whether they are expected to attend other company meetings or other priorities are thrust upon them.

That's a fact. But at some level, if you have this toxicity in your culture, someone is going to have to translate from t-shirt sizes into hours and weeks at some point, and when these estimates turn out to be wrong, someone's head will have to hit the block. (Hopefully theirs and not ours.)

I'd like to think that doesn't actually happen here, and also that's not why we use t-shirt sizes. Maybe just why your team uses them. Or maybe I'm just naive about it.
I like a quiet desktop, but I'm fine having that be a choice.

At my last company we spent extra to buy desktop cases with extra but quiet cooling, so we had speed and quiet at the same time.
Electric turbopumps are an answer to the question: "how small can you make a commercially viable orbital rocket?"

Atmospheric drag effects rocket performance less and less the larger a rocket gets (square-cube law), so that a rocket like the Space Shuttle can effectively ignore the atmosphere. Conversely, the smaller a rocket gets, the harder and harder launch gets. This is the problem Rocket Lab has decided to attack.

A decade ago, SpaceX launched the very similar Falcon 1. Falcon 1 was designed a decade ago, and you can see a large amount of the tech advancements in the last decade in Rocket Lab's design:

1. Cheap, lightweight Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries.

2. Cheap and performant brushless motor controllers.

3. Additive manufacturing for cheaply making complex parts without significant labor costs.

4. Advances in composites to enable the first orbital-class composite-bodied rocket.

Without any one of these advances, Rocket Lab would not be viable. It still may end up not being viable. Rocket Lab can never compete on bulk orbital cargo pricing. However, Rocket Lab's vision of applying recent tech advancements to bring down the smallest possible launcher size is extremely commendable.

You can email, Skype, phone once on a contract.
Then Upwork need to communicate that. And not in a "we will call you privately" manner, but:

- Making a public statement regarding specific case with Michael. Especially why they decided to go behind his back to communicate with his agency.

- Making a public disclosure of reasons they acted so ignorantly toward freelancer.

People could and will leave Upwork if they're going to keep this absurdly behavior.

Can you elaborate on "Swiss companies were training their employees when it was impossible to immigrate in Switzerland"?
How do you get to that? Their rockets are designed and manufactured in the US. Their money has largely been from the US. They're incorporated in the US. They're using US technology and engineering.

That's a long ways from the minimal contribution you're implying.
That idea works out, and is the basis of agile vs waterfall, but there's a point where you shrink the timelines so much that you'll end up spending more time estimating work than you soend doing it

But who were these people? I don't doubt that there exists a population such that half of it complains about lack of gender neutral language in technical writing, but it does not necessarily follow that the same half should also be arbiters of techincal writing style.

Back when the convention in English (and various other languages) was that male pronouns were used in mixed or unspecified situation there was no need to point this out, it was given by the convention. Pronouns with masculine grammatical gender being exclusively applicable to men is a recent innovation, without which the problem you are trying to solve wouldn't even exist.

These shifts in meaning can of course happen organically, but I find it very curious that this particular one happened at the same time as the rise of feminism in the 20th century. More extreme examples of the same politicised language is using "womyn" instead of "woman" in order to prevent it from ending in "man".

It is much more nuanced. Peace is about: accepting and appreciating what you have, and don't have (i.e appreciate the actual reality). Progress is making it better.

It shouldn't take millions of dollars worth of gear to rule out the above possiblities. If not sonic or EM then what could it be?
On modern Intel processors, TDP isn't the maximum thermal output power of the processor. It's the thermal output power when it's throttling back its speed by a particular, arbitrarily-defined amount for thermal reasons. It's basically a marketing number. The electrical input power on the other hand is pretty close to the actual thermal output power and is roughly the number you should actually use when speccing out a cooling system for an Intel processor.
Does your implementation support vectorized SIMD or SSE instructions?
Input power equals output power is a fundamental physical rule, not a "trap". Yes, average (thermal) output power does not equal instantaneous (electrical) input power (ie thermal mass), but it averages out.

What the article is pointing out that TDP is thermal design power. Meaning a nameplate value that was targeted for "standard" operation, even though the processor can do higher. So if something has a TDP of 100W, yet the heatsink can maintain proper operating temperature while dissipating 150W, then the processor might sit there drawing (and dissipating) 150W the whole time.

As an aside, I really wish CPU cooler manufacturer/reviews would start simply stating the thermal resistance - basically the single number that characterizes its effectiveness. I know it would undermine the dog and pony show of building a test system with so-and-so's motherboard etc running benchmarks, but the entire goal of science is to weed out the extraneous narrative.
The consumption data doesn't seem to be clear. Maybe I am mistaken but I would think ISP's should easily be able to provide a trend line of what the consumption rates look like.

Yeah, but we know the AVX is going to be 256-bit, so if there is "higher IPC gain under certain workloads", that's completely expected. We might see a performance decrease under certain workloads as well due to the I/O chip. What's the point of picking a singular workload case and dance around it as if it were the case with any workload?
If you're on a network you control, sure you could setup your DHCP to broadcast the DNS addresses.

However, I don't see how you could set this for mobile networks or networks you have no control over, since both Android and iOS don't let you override the DNS address assigned.

Edit: I guess you can override your DNS on iOS when on wifi? I know I can't change it on my Android.
If you've got a lot of experience and connections, finding freelance work on your own is easy. The thing that feeds sites like upwork is people with less of that, people that will work for pennies, often from third world countries. For me, a few years ago I was in school and wanted some income from programming. I managed to get some work on a site that has since been bought by upwork, worked for $10-15 an hour. If not for that site I'd have never gotten that work, and be much worse off now.

No, that's not how it works. Doing proper support means getting your code mainlined and written and tested according to the rules. Doing a dirty port with crappy code that still runs is easy and cheap. Delivering a crap fork and not updating it a year after release is common because of this, same goes for a lot of commercial stuff.
LMDB is a very good choice for many well-known reasons. I don't need to expand here, the advantages are well documented, and more and more projects are choosing LMDB.

However LMDB does not solve all problems, and can be a bad choice for some, and I couldn't find this documented anywhere. Specifically write-intensive workload. Why?

- LMDB by default provides full ACID semantics, which means that after every key-value write committed, it needs to sync to disk. Apparently if this happens tens of times per second, your system performance will suffer.

- LMDB provides a super-fast asynchronous mode (`MDB_NOSYNC`), and this is the one most often benchmarked. Writes are super-fast with this. But a little known fact is that you lose all of ACID, meaning that a system crash can cause total loss of the database. Only use `MDB_NOSYNC` if your data is expendable.

In short, I would advise against LMDB if you are expecting to have more than a couple of independent writes per second. In this case, consider choosing a database that syncs to disk only occasionally, offering just ACI semantics (without Durability, which means that a system crash can cause loss of only the last seconds of data).
I haven't used it in a number of years, but Stylus apparently lets you access hashes[0] using dots:

palette = {
blue: {
light: hsl(201, 75%, 56%)
base: hsl(201, 75%, 51%)
dark: hsl(201, 75%, 46%)
}
}

palette.blue.light
// => hsl(201, 75%, 56%)

It was a fun preprocessor, even if you could go overboard with it (for instance, dropping colons). I used it in a few node projects, but didn't do much beyond that because it never really took off like Sass. Sass is, well, everywhere. Stylus, on the other hand, appears to be either dead or close enough to it. While I've got a list of issues with Sass--mainly because I prefer the SASS syntax over SCSS--none of them are dealbreakers.

Genetic Diversity is rather an outcome of a fact that mixing genes helped us evolve (mutations - vs diseases, environment changes etc)

Now or rather soon, when human species will be able to takr control over evolution process, genetic diversity will make no sense because you will be highly immune to anything and environment will be no different.

I know its hard to admit even now some families are highly superior to other when it comes to genes inheritage, but thats how it is.

Some may say that Eugenics sucks because for example it would not allow mentally ill people reproduce and they have such ppl in family, but overall majority of population has no such issues and mby they would like to have those genes out of the genes pool. All depends on how you look at that, collective vs single entity etc.
It's how much it's designed to dissipate right? Which depends on the cooling so by your meaning it's a vague number isn't it?

I think from power/watt number on a cpu people expect two thing. How efficient it is for the performance (electric bill) where you need input power. How better a cooling I need will need the thermal power.

But even with that the issue of Turbo makes it harder to quantify those two because it all depends on workload. If I recall correctly though even with all that if I understand correctly the peak power draw in intel gets throttled much easier than AMD whereas their TDP number (compared to AMD) artificially inflates their efficiency reputation. I do think they had been much more efficient than AMD specially pre Zen.
