Half of the effort with high end gaming GPUs is the driver support after the fact, something Intel has traditionally put only minimal effort into. Buying a high end Intel card for gaming would likely doom you to poor performance and crashes on many new games.

There are many cases where the Intel hardware should be sufficient to play a game, but some driver weirdness makes it unplayable anyway.
It seems to me that the super-giant container ships these days would not be optimal in the role.

Presuming the VLS containers are standardized, I'd expect it would be better to have more smaller ships. If that's the case, the Navy could pick up some of the older container vessels relatively inexpensively, because they aren't as economical to operate as the Maersk Triple-E class ships.
This is nice, but I have no idea what to do with it. You could probably quite easily also implement choice of different equal temperament tunings. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19_equal_temperament and http://microtone.isans.net/ . Note that SoundZoom already implements 12, 24, 36, 48 and 144 tone equal temperament tunings. :)

On that note, regardless of what the actual answer is here, insight is sorely missing on the brochureware. Conversely, quip.io has an in-depth whitepaper @ https://quip-cdn.com/iR2bxQSxnJmpXi8KbaQ-XQ which is linked to from their global page footer.
Preemptive apologies for this glorified "it's nice to hear it's not just me" of a post.

To let you skip the anecdote if you don't care, I'd be very curious if someone can answer _why_ this happens.

Earlier this week I was running into Very Strange errors coming out of some deep libraries in one of my hobby services. Nothing was specifically failing but things were going very slow and vomiting a bit. I observed that I had over 25g of active Ram (Typically idle at ~8g) and some absurd amount of paged data too. Even after killing almost all non-system running processes I was sitting at ~20g total, including a 10g nonpaged pool and 6g process private. On reboot, and for the week since? 8g. (On Win10)

My oldest is 15 now, and is starting to give serious thought to his future career. He's considering following in his father's footsteps and focusing on computer science, and I'm steering him away from it. Why? After all, it pays well, and there are lots of job openings - if you have a CS degree (and are under about 45), you'll definitely be able to find good-paying work. But on the other hand - the absolute best you can possibly hope for is to be a nameless, faceless, arbitrary replaceable cog with four feet of deskspace in a noisy, repurposed, open airplane hangar who joins a daily standup each morning and recites a list of the JIRA ticket numbers you worked on and defending why it's taken more than a day or two to close any one of them. And then when you hit 45 and you're too old to code, you not only won't be able to find a soul-sucking buy high-paying close-jira-tickets-as-fast-as-possible "programmer" job but you won't be able to move into management either, because that's for people who went to business school... whose main skill is telling programmers that they have to close their JIRA tickets faster.
For me, it's really about finding a balance, especially in the work place. Trying to look presentable without looking "sexy". Trying to look old enough to be taken seriously, but not so old I can't learn new things.

I don't think worrying about it is exactly a choice, when how I look will have real-life effects on how I'm treated.

There's a feature in my Pixel to show what song is playing --like in the real world-- on the lock screen. A kind of always-on Shazam.

This. Though I also may be old and crusty. Mark Twain said it nicely: "If you have to eat a frog, do it first thing in the morning. If you have to eat two, eat the bigger one first."

The longer you wait to do something you should but don't want to, the more difficult it will be to do. On top of that, you'll have the mental "weight" of knowing in the back of your mind it's sitting there, waiting for you. Best to just do it and get it out of the way.

That $10 is a bait and switch price.

The next tier is 25 users for $2500. So it went from $1 per user to $100 per user.

JIRA is, by its nature, a multi-user software. The $10 for 10 users is clearly engineered to get small teams to commit to using it and then squeeze them when they grow.

That is a reasonable strategy for what is a product for companies i.e. enterprise software.

It wouldn't work for a product that is primarily for people who are paying from their own pocket, like, I assume, everyone here that expressed the want for a self-hosted version.

I don't think you necessary have to make a hard decision with what to do with your career/hobbies. These aren't mutually exclusive choices.

It sounds like you have the freedom to explore your options, and even try them out. You could get there and do some contract/remote work part-time while enjoying hobbies. You should try building products of your own. You could try to profit from your hobbies. You could take a sabbatical for a few months.

Good luck. Doesn't sound like you can make a wrong choice here.
> But we do know homosexuality is not a health risk

In the 80's it was considered fact that homosexuality was a health risk. AIDs was a huge concern.

There also might be a valid demand from those who would want to use the features of a collaboration suite like this for internal projects but find themselves beholden to internal or even client-demanded security/data retention policies.
When I set up isomorphic keybindings in music apps I usually aim to cover the entire alphanumeric section of the keyboard. It allows me to play passages both vertically and horizontally. This is good, though, it's a good use of isomorphic behavior.
Its a really important hump to get over. When I got out of my undergrad I felt like I owned the world, but a few years later and I felt like I knew nothing.

It just made me try harder, but I think every kid needs to get over that bridge to become a legitimate adult - to be faced with both success and failure, and realize you are only ever at local maxima, there is always another mountain to climb, and you do it to aspire to see more and further.
Use a functional language, it is way closer to verilog or vhdl. Global variables need different mental model.
My experience when I switched.
Wow. For comparison[0], China has 129 ships and Russia has 79. I guess the US Navy believes in overprovisioning.

The long standing US policy has been to maintain enough force to fight a major conflict in both the Atlantic and Pacific at the same time. It's basically what the British Navy was designed to do, when Britannia ruled the waves and had a globe spanning empire. The Brits basically went broke doing this and mortgaged their position as world hegemon to the US to pay for WWI and WWII. So now, the US has to maintain enough force to patrol the world's navies.

(Between WWI and WWII, there was serious talk about the US and British navy duking it out over the issue of the British war debt to the US. There were even naval war plans drafted.)
AAPL as mobile as a service company
I'm in the same boat. I have a vision in mind for how a perfect PIM could look like: a mind-map like structure to organize everything. A pintrest-like UI to list all "cards"/"pages".

I'd love to create an ipad app with pencil support to just draw the mind-map and allow unlimited nested depth.

zenkit.com tries to combine a table/kanban/mind-map visualization, but it's not quite what I want.

It seems like we are all on a quest for a Holy Grail.

I thought Ember provided:

- Observable objects and enumerables
- Models with a relationship framework
- Controllers
- A dependency injection framework
- A templating system

In addition the router also provides:

- Parsing of query strings in the router (React-Router does not do that)
- Explicit loading states
- Asynchronous routing

Whereas React-Router + React provides:

- A router
- A view layer

I also don't understand your complaint about PWAs and bundle size. Aren't PWAs supposed to fully cache all the Javascript after the first load so bundle size should be less important? And the competition to a PWA is a downloadable mobile app that's often many dozens of megabytes.
I'm less worried about this as my wife and I go to therapy together and separately, and she is a marriage and family therapist herself.

I'm more concerned about myself not being able to rejoin tech when I'm not burned out anymore, or losing skills (not that I have many currently, anyway).
This whole all-in-one thing has near-zero appeal to me :/

I have an urge to willfully resist entering monopoly scenarios. I prefer the ability to evolve process through a non-linear opportunity space (though I of course want to insulate the majority of others in my communities from being forced to grapple with that full infinite opportunity space :)
Philosophy academics (the dreaded "post-modernists") have been saying how such biases are socially constructed for so long, that if the conditions in society change, people's perspectives will change. Looks like attitudes really are not so "natural" as people put them.

Not to sound depressing, but as I read this comment's first paragraph, a negative perspective was my initial thought, and not the positive aspect.

It's worth noting that a "YOLO" attitude can be used as a double-edged sword for motivation (e.g, "One day I will be dead, so there's no point in vying for success")
Jira is a bug tracker.

Notion is a hierarchical note-taker/wiki with some additional features like simple databases, task lists etc.

They are not the same kind of software.

Also, you can link notion pages. They have a block element that is a link to another page and for inline links you can use the regular link (each notion page has its unique, stable url).
Nuclino is also a very strong offering in this space.

You should ask your non-tech friends before asserting their opinions.

I would have thought the same, but I spent the past winter holidays speaking to a number of interested friends / family members about our company, which is fairly technical. The first question I always asked as a lead-in was, “have you ever heard of or used Slack?”

The answer was yes across the board.

They’re the fastest growing SaaS company ever. Don’t underestimate the power of exponential growth over the period of even a few months.
My guess would be because those in the former camp (sexual or racial minority) have been actively persecuted and deprived of life and liberty.
There are tons of patents regarding implementation details and instruction set extensions. I don't think you could sell Athlon 64 or Pentium D clones to anyone.
I think wealth is a bit like physics in that once you’re talking about it on a big enough scale, the rules start to bend. $130 billion is more than the GDP of Ukraine, splitting it up is different than splitting a beach house.

I trust that amongst thousands of people with different incentives at least one will raise their voice if something is not right. At least more so than I trust a corporation with, in this case, the the wrong incentives to self-regulate to my expectations.
I'll let you know when I make the initial public release.
Let's suppose I want to "blame them [the TSA]." Okay, who should I be complaining about? Which TSA employees is it okay to hold responsible for forcing my daughter to have a nude photo of herself taken?

Supposing that every person today who applies for a job today with the TSA knows about the body scanners and the pat-downs and the unexplained detentions, to what extent are new job applicants morally blameworthy for applying for a job that they already know involves all of these things?

At best, your argument covers people who applied for jobs with the TSA before anyone knew what the TSA was going to be doing at airports, and who have over the course of 18 years been unable to find work elsewhere. What share of TSA employees do you suppose that is? What's your guess?
Can you explain the advantage in killing the app without notifying it? You're going to kill the app because it's consuming 500MB of memory, fine, send it SIGTERM or equivalent and then give it two minutes to orderly shut down before you send SIGKILL. Not doing it that way has a cost and no apparent benefit to "balance" it with.
The real worthwhile advice isn’t as easy as one liners and some things are really hard to make people understand without experience.
I feel like this varies based on your personal experience. For example, I've been exposed to a variety of these things in close family and friends from a young age (mental handicaps, eyesight problems/legal blindness, and elderly relatives who are now wheelchair-bound or otherwise restricted). With these experiences in mind, and evaluating the people I surround myself with, I encounter very little discrimination towards these types of people in my day-to-day. But that's just based on my perception and my limited experience. It could be that outside of my social bubble, there are people who actively discriminate against those with disabilities.

Could you elaborate on the kind of discrimination you're thinking of? I'm sure people who can't see have a harder time getting jobs (and for sure have to work harder to overcome things like websites with screen-reader-hostile content), but I'm not sure if you're referring to subconscious discrimination or explicit discrimination.

The subconscious stuff is harder to deal with because it might not even hit a surface level. On the other hand, the open hostility that the LGBTQ+ people faced was easier to 'diagnose' or recognize, and thus begin dealing with.
Underpricing your work sends a strong signal about quality, or the lack thereof. I opened with charging well above my peers (we're talking 150%+ of their rates) when I started practicing law, and not a single client balked.

In comparison with my more experienced co-workers that were offering cut-rate deals, I garnered more respect and support, had higher client satisfaction, and almost every client I had decided to stay in my book of business during transitions.

Charge a lot. Be good enough to deserve it. Use that impostor syndrome to up your game.
Those are different products.

Notion is primarily hierarchical note taker/wiki.

The closest product is Quip but Quip is like Google docs - each page is its own thing. It's not hierarchical.

Airtable is a database. Notion has similar functionality, but not as rich and their tables can be just part of the page, like a picture.

Taskade is a task tracker. I use Notion for a similar purpose but it's not the primary functionality of Notion.
It does, I've used it, I even have the socks, but it's a managed Database product. It's not equivalent to Firebase, AWS Lightsail, Digital Ocean One-click, etc. So a new MERN developer isn't going to gravitate toward that.

It's more like AWS RDS for MongoDB.
Well it is a greater health risk to engage in male homosexual sex than any typical heterosexaul or lesbian sex.

Regardless, unlike obesity, no one can remove their homosexuality and it is fairly insulting to suggest that.
That's fine. you are "free" to hack your own version of Android that modifies the APIs to disregard power-management best practices.

... and maybe your own hardware to run them on. But I wouldn't expect any major player competing against other companies to do the work for you when the outcome is supporting some chat protocols that most people don't use.

(Otherwise, if you're expecting vendors to do it for you, you get to expect the lecture that comes with that expectation, in the form of APIs designed to minimize the ease of doing the wrong-for-the-average-utility-of-the-platform thing. Your cell radio could probably be adjusted to operate as a spark-gap transmitter also, but I don't expect them to provide an easy API for that either ;) ).
I remember the 6809 it was really clean and capable and I think supported relocatable code. Very much unlike the funky instruction sets of any of the other 8 bit machines and not the horror show that was x86.
All of human society is treated pretty poorly in those books. People make fundamental society level decisions once and never ever re-examine those decisions, even when the circumstances are wildly different. For the most part everybody who isn't a named character is a total sheep and a total idiot. Many of the name characters (even the protagonist in some cases) aren't much better.
Hopefully with the influx of cash they can hire someone to implement a dark mode.
i think there is a big argument that the rise of obesity specifically in America is in large part due to diet, heavy in sugars and corn syrup, in response to the "low-fat" fad and corn subsidies respectively. That coupled with the love of cars and sprawl, society in America leads to obesity unless you are wealthy and have time to exercise and can afford food without processed sugars and corn syrup.

Therefore, fat is more or less a signifier of class, just as race is, and the bias against fat people is more or less just a manifestation in part of how much we demonize the poor in this country.
There are various ways to travel, not all involve dumping tons of jet fuel in the atmosphere. A German I met used to take a yearly trip to Portugal on bicycle. Hitchhiking also lets you get pretty far while wasting minimal extra fuel.

We're hackers, no? Rather than declaring the goal impossible, why not try to find clever alternative solutions?

> If the speech recognition is horrible I’m sure they’ll take it off.

This is interesting and cool, cause it sounds to me like they only detect for the keyword to "unlock" the Google home, so in theory they don't even need speech recognition. In most cases, they could just do with telling if a sound you make seems to match the sound you defined to be their name ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Android has done the right thing at least since 6.0 and that has resulted in massive battery life improvements.

Essence of Productivity
It's [supposed to be] quality as measured from their users' point of view, which may be a large superset of your customers. If the user wanted a free code snippet to copy & paste and they get an ad with a price in it, that's a bad result, even if they never click on it; that space on the page could've been devoted to a link that they would actually visit. It's good (from the users' POV) for that ad to never get shown again on that query, because it makes their results more relevant.

The right solution here is to refine your target market segmentation & keywords so that you're buying ads on searches that only people in your target market make. Then you get a good CTR & quality score and a good conversion rate. Optimize the funnel all the way down to the searcher.
You're suggesting that SF salaries are high purely because a small number of the companies in the area make billions of dollars in profits, and the rest are just playing "Keeping up with the Jones" on salaries?

I'm not sure how much AWS contributes back to Redis or Elasticsearch, but in this case, MongoDB has already made the decision for them. AWS certainly won't be contributing to MongoDB, but it's not on AWS from now on.
