Nvidia was banking on the crypto bubble too, they overproduced graphics cards and then took 300,000 of them back from an OEM partner because the market was saturated.

To me, that says "priced too high," they might be making great margins but they couldn't sell all of them. I probably would've bought one if the price were more in line with the GTX 900 series. At this point I'm hanging on to see how AMD looks, either for getting one of their new cards or hoping they can put some pricing pressure on Nvidia.
Have you confirmed that it's related to your "ADHD" and you're not just inconsiderate and annoying?

Not trying to sound like a douche, but honestly just putting on some headphones would probably stop this supposed "executive control disorder".
If anyone ever said that to me, I'd assume they were verbally confirming that they were trying to get out of the situation.
I find this to be true as well. A ~13.5" machine packs easily and, is noticeably more useful to me than a 12".

And 12" is just a little too small for my preference, though not wholly unbearable.

My 15" and larger machines have been much harder to travel with easily. For productivity, I have usually preferred the 15"+ machines. If that were the only consideration, then I wouldn't think twice. But they have been a pain to haul.
Thanks. Yes when I'm being organized I manage to get the notebook able to `reload` a module that I'm working on in my editor, which is probably the most important step towards reducing code in the notebook.

/me gets tinfoil hat

1. Verizon buys some content producers that flop - Content will not be a profit center for Verizon.

2. Other media companies buy content producers that don't flop (as much).

3. Verizon's General Council (Ajit Pai) becomes head of FCC.

4. FCC pushes to roll back regulations allowing communication providers to charge premiums for content access.

Is it really as bad as it looks?

Posting in case this may be of use. I've been able to make all the social networks more or less serve me irrelevent stuff or not serve me stuff. Here's how:

* I use Facebook in safari on ios and have ad blockers enabled

* I use the youtube app logged out

* Twitter I generally visit people's profiles directly or in a 3rd party all

Instagram is the only one I can't fix, as I use the app. Maybe if I did more in the web browser, but then I'd lose stories.

Anyway, Instagram consistently serves up ads that are in the ballpark of relevant to me. But other than that, the ads I see are random generic ads for stuff like cars and laundry detergent. The kind of mass market ads you'd see on TV. I get ads in other languages when I travel.

It's nice, I can mostly ignore them. Of course, key to this is that I prefer to ignore algorithms on things like youtube. This method won't work if you need that.

But if you don't mind algorithms not being personalized, you can make the ads irrelevant to you too.
Agree, learn to rebase well. Having a chain of atomic, well commented commits is bliss.

Yes, that's the sort of stuff I was thinking of. Obama ran on "change" and little changed. We also continued our relentless march toward total surveillance panopticon under Obama, and he did little to nothing to reign in the financial industry.

I do not believe there's a perfect equivalence. Lately the Republicans have been more enthusiastic about denying reality. But there's certainly a sense in which people view politics like a football game and just mindlessly root for their side.

We won't be rid of Trump and his ilk until we stop caring about parties and start caring about ideas.

Onions are pretty fundamental to Western cooking as well, but they're not a staple in the sense that people will starve if they're unavailable, the way potatoes or wheat are.
Other posters have given serious answers. I would add my own: its an excuse for a language superiority complex. It assumes that everyone using "less powerful" languages do so because they just don't understand "more powerful" languages while excluding the idea that they might just find that language X is the right fit for their domain. (e.g.: asm is probably more "powerful" than python, but I'd rather do string manipulation in the latter)
I think Tesla is suing Mills for several reasons. One is to discourage activity it thinks is sabotage and slander. Secondly it wants to do discovery to discover if he was working for someone who wanted to undermine Tesla, like a stock shorter or a fossil fuel or automotive company, who it would then sue next. And I am guessing it is also a preparation for another suit against the sleazy media company that published his claims, again to see if one of the above enemies was behind it.

As for the $167 million claim, the idea is not to get the money from Mills, which Tesla is perfectly aware is impossible. Rather it is to set the value for a later lawsuit, and also to let people know it is serious about defending itself.

Are there benchmarks VS Code vs Atom?

I'm using Sublime Text 3 but these two text editors have many more extensions/packages than ST3 and while I don't want to move to a slower text editor, the packages seem to good too pass up.
>they all have massive contractor workforces (including consultants) that don't have the same benefits as anyone else

I can't tell for many F500 companies, but IT contractors in large Canadian banks in Toronto are typically paid at a significantly higher hourly rate (sometimes 70-100% higher) than equivalent FTEs. It outweighs the lack of FTE benefits up to the point where some FTEs deliberately switch to contracting.

I guess the labor market here has been able to balance demand/supply and pricing.
I don't write JS but there's a lot of extensions for it, related libraries (React, Angular, Vue, etc) and languages that compile to JS (TS).

There's also keymap extensions to emulate keybinds from other IDEs. You should try it at least.
Wait, so with Github taking complete responsibility for Atom, that means Atom and VSCode are now ultimately run/sponsored by the same company (MS)?
The thing that sucks, in my experience, is that the "fastness" of a text editor doesn't translate into productivity the way the abundance of plugins and support and popularity will. But the slower ones just manifestly feel so irritating once you're used to the speed.

I used to love VSCode, but over the past few months it has become unusably slow.

I'm talking freezes for multiple seconds while typing kind of slow. This is with less than 5 plugins. Vim has become my default editor now, and I only use VSCode if I want to move a lot of files around.

If you're not trying to sound like a douche, don't put ADHD in scare quotes. Yes, it was over-diagnosed in the 90s, but I brought myself in and was diagnosed as an adult in 2009.

Maybe watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSfCdBBqNXY&feature=youtu.be if you don't think ADHD is real.

No, I don't know for certain if this is related to my ADHD. I might just be inconsiderate and annoying. I'm speculating, because it's a behavior that I have spontaneously manifested, observed, criticized myself for, and yet still do. It fits in the category of "executive control" and "impulse control" and those are the things that ADHD impairs.

And I already wear headphones most of the day when I'm in the office because music helps me focus and otherwise I start listening to the conversations around me. Listening to music while I work (and when I studied when I was in school) is one way I have managed my disorder throughout my life.
The only problem with Cygwin and MSYS and MinGW was that they filled that need poorly.

You could say that WSL is filling that need on Windows now, WSL certainly does remove some of the earlier obstacles/objections why one would want to avoid Windows and use Linux for development.

Distributed data structures is an interesting idea, but I’m not sure this particular implementation is the right abstraction level for many problems.

These sorts of things form a spectrum from low level message passing all the way to a full fledged database. Some things in between are abstractions like MapReduce which still gives a lot of control, but also gives you fault tolerance and lower configuration of your cluster to run different applications.

Another abstraction in this space that is just a bit higher than ordinary message passing are systems like Kafka and RabbitMQ which give additional guarantees over plain message passing using sockets as well as less configuration to set up/remove machines.

One thing a lot of the more successful abstractions in this space seem to have is a pretty clear line between which parts of the system are local and which are distributed. It seems like this system doesn’t have as clear of a demarcation which would make understanding performance much more difficult. Databases can also have this problem since they do a lot of low level performance tuning automatically, but at least they provide a very high level of abstraction for applications to work with. This seems like it could end up being confusing to tune without providing a nice high-level interface like databases.

Yup, I was excited about the book, and then I saw it was PDF only.

One of my favorite books as a "hobbyist" web dev (my real job is in reporting and analytics) is Jon Duckett's HTML/CSS and JavaScript/Jquery books. Gorgeously designed ink-and-paper books that give you a truly visual understanding of the box model, floats, functions, loops etc. The combination of visual design and easy-to-understand examples make the book a constant reference for me.

What is missing right now are games that are designed for RTX & DLSS (but they are coming), full of mirrors and shiny objects. All the games that are out use RTX to enhance the experience, which means that Ray Tracing is secondary citizen. Atomic Heart is an example of a game that really depends on Ray Tracing heavily for the best experience.
Good to hear that's still the case. I'm particularly worried about Flow, given that it's generally not trending well against TypeScript in terms of adoption, and because the team has never been super-engaged with the open source community. Would Facebook consider publicly clarifying intent to support less successful projects into the next 12 to 24 months?
I took a course on HCI (at Imperial, Professor Robert Spence) and it _was_ the first 'assigned' reading, definitely recommend - and it's actually a pretty good stocking/'secret santa' present this time of year for anyone even idly curious about things and how they work.

I'd also highly recommend Spence's own book: Information Visualisation. I don't work in HCI/UX at all, but I enjoyed it a lot; it does an excellent job of showing that it's much more than 'just' (sorry!) artsy design.

Note that I generally agree about Discover Weekly, but it can recommend (and occasionally has recommended, for me) music I have heard before. I suspect this might be due to another suspicion of mine, that Discover Weekly puts songs into the playlist that people you follow are listening to. I've seen this happen many times with Discover Weekly, but I can never know for sure if it's a coincidence or not.

I've been using Linux since 2003, even though I'm a .NET engineer by trade. Most of the problems (except the audio problem on one particular motherboard) were relatively simple for me to fix. I imagine it would have been a nightmare if I didn't have 15 years of experience under my belt. My point was that this shouldn't have been a problem in the first place, and I've always found Windows to be much easier to get up and running.

I've always had to live in both worlds, and they each have their fair share of pros and cons.
When you write, imagine a charitable, intelligent reader who is interested in what you say and not looking to nit-pick every word.
Are advertisers going to notice that 1% of people in the 'Just had a baby' group actually had stillbirths? I'd guess not, especially because advertisers don't get to know who they advertised to.

Is FB or Google going to change this to improve their conversion rate by ~1%? Probably not, 1% is not a lot.
In the end, as long as the advertising platform gets a decent conversion rate on 'Just had a baby' for the advertisers, everyone is happy.

Heck, advertisers might prefer 10% accuracy and 90% recall over 50% accuracy and 80% recall. If pushing that recall up a bit yields a few more customers, the extra cost of showing that to a lot more non-viable people might just work out.
Let me rephrase that: there is no information privilege immortality.
It really is a great book. I think it is recommended by many people simply because it is not a technical book and can be easily understood by everybody.

I'm not a designer but it really changed the way I think when I have to write any user interface.

It will not teach you how to make the perfect UX, but after reading it you will know how to avoid the most common and obvious mistakes. I would consider the minimum recommended for anybody that has to design any kind of UI.

Also, you will recognize all the issues in every thing you interact with, be it the door of your apartment or the coffee machine of your office (the name is really apt). I think you should read it even if you will never have to do any kind of UX work, because you will have to put up with somebody's else interface.
Which has been a complaint in many many cases going back decades. Should more be spent? Probably. It’s slso an area with a near infinite appetite for dollars (and associated disruption).

CRAB: It's too bad, Achilles, that you weren't here last week, when Dr. Anteater and Aunt Hillary were my house guests. I should have thought of having you over then.

ACHILLES: Is Aunt Hillary your aunt, Mr. Crab?

CRAB: Oh, no, she's not really anybody's aunt.

ANTEATER: But the poor dear insists that everybody should call her that, even strangers. It's just one of her many endearing quirks.

CRAB: Yes, Aunt Hillary is quite eccentric, but such a merry old soul. It's a shame I didn't have you over to meet her last week.

ANTEATER: She's certainly one of the best-educated ant colonies I have ever had the good fortune to know. The two of us have spent many a long evening in conversation on the widest range of topics.

ACHILLES: I thought anteaters were devourers of ants, not patrons of ant-intellectualism!

ANTEATER: Well, of course the two are not mutually inconsistent. I am on the best of terms with ant colonies. It's just ants that I eat, not colonies-and that is good for both parties: me, and the colony.

I moved from WebStorm to VS Code and haven't looked back. Code is generally faster than any IDE I've used (at least for JS work). My understanding is the Go support is very good. No idea on Python. There should be extensions for both that should be easy to install.

Code has become hands down my favorite editor. I don't use the debug often, but it's passable. Just depends on your needs and use. I'd suggest giving it a try for a couple weeks (just to get past any initial pain points).
Having played the same game in both modes, there are definite improvements to the quality with this method. Like I said, in most situations without ray tracing, when you do things like look down the scope of a gun, the reflections are lost, but not with RTX. The reflections are also much crisper and more dynamic.

That said, this comes with a pretty big cost, both in $$$ and performance. If this could be accomplished without the substantial performance hit that it seems to come with, then it would be fairly impressive and worth the $$$.
