true. and still, intel drivers are a landmine. even the latest ones shipped today generates FIFO warnings because of the bad code. Not to mention itel "graphic cards" are a glorified floating point co-coprocessor and the "drivers" just rename mesa-software with intelgfx or something :) man, everything about intel lately feels like a joke you remove the marketing lacquer... it's almost if they are the IBM of old.

anyway, but AMD have actual graphics cards, and the driver quality they open source is usually very good.

One of the big issues with these distress-based diagnosis metrics is that it fails to diagnose people whose social environments are particularly well suited for their mental health issues. If an autistic child has parents who manage their sensory sensitivities and work well with their communicative difficulties, the system sees a child who isn't experiencing a lot of the distress-based symptoms used to diagnose autism.

So like, your gold standard diagnosis ends up depending a lot on the organizational and attention demands the patient is required to meet. A business analyst who is required to sit at a desk for eight hours a day and pay attention to boring numbers on a business spreadsheet is much more likely to get diagnosed with ADHD, while a barber that hangs out and does short haircuts while interacting with clients is much less likely to merit such diagnosis.
Dramatically overfill it with concrete - enough that it's wildly impractical to ever remove it - and put a giant stainless steel monolith in the middle.

Nature will rapidly disappear and or anonymize your earth hole, or someone will simply fill it in (just one person digging with industrial equipment will make a surprisingly modest dent in the earth in a lifetime). You need to make it obnoxiously unreasonable to bother getting rid of it.
That isn't my intention at all. English is not my first language so it might not help but please bear with me.

I intentionally said "I really want to scream" and not "Let me say" because I certainly do not want to be hostile. I shared the point of view of the person I responded to, so no, I really did not express hostility but an invitation to understand that some people actually are giving up "their own personal comfort or lifestyle for the sake of the plane".

>I don’t know how to say this politely.

Look, you're writing something very similar to my "I want to" with this "I don't know but". I'm sure we both have good intentions.

> You’re not a good advocate for the political process if you can’t calmly discuss the opposing viewpoint.

I do not pretend to be a good advocate here. I'm trying to have someone consider that the actions of others are sincere. That people are actually fighting and giving up comfort (which the OP comment denied). I don't want to complain because I'm well off myself (good job, very secured financially, etc) but there are so many people who would not act if we keep denying the possibility of change and insists in making other choices non-existent or insincere. That would have be the case a younger me, that's why I'm quite emotional. It's just my feeling and I understand that it may not be welcome.

>At no point did you provide evidence that a political solution is viable.

Again, that's not my point. I could comment on that, but I reacted to the assumption that "No one wants to give up their own personal comfort or lifestyle for the sake of the planet". This is a very bad starting point to discuss this because the last decade of my life shows the contrary. I only complain that stating the contrary is false (logically) and morally wrong (who can speak for others about their intention?). Why do you think I'm a martyr? I certainly don't feel like one (again, I live in Paris and have enough time and resources to care not about my personal situation but climate change and poor workers who can't bear taxes). Nor do you I want anyone to be a martyr because I know we would have a violent regime change (probably not for the best) if people start feeling like they would have to die to be heard.
While the article blames the quest for thinness in the current generation of MacBook Pros, I have a 17" MBP from 2006 that also has this "stage light" issue. And this is a machine with a full optical drive and removable battery.

At least now I know the cause. Too bad my hands are really too big to fix it on my own.
They need not be regressive.

For starters, high income people tend to have much greater carbon footprints. I, in the top decile, probably quintuple my carbon footprint by engaging in a little bit of unnecessary air travel (living in New England, in 2018 I went once to Shanghai, once to Puerto Rico, and once to Montana). The average private jet owner probably has a carbon footprint 10x - 100x of mine.

Then, you have a tax and it _still_ turns out to be regressive (or even if it doesn't), you can use the tax revenue in a way that disproportionally benefits low income people.

The best policy (IMO) is a carbon fee-and-dividend, where all of the proceeds of the tax are redistributed evenly amongst all residents of the nation.

There is a bill in the US congress that would enact just this policy (https://energyinnovationact.org/) (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/7173). If you like the policy, let your congressmen know. And everyone else too.

And it _really_ is the best policy. Even if it did nothing to reduce emissions, it's a matter of justice. I won't tell you that you can't fly across the country every single weekend or emit a gigaton of carbon mining bitcoin but, if you do, you _really_ should reimburse me and my 2-year-old daughter for the harm you're doing to our futures.
I'm pretty sure you're subsidizing the debit card users if using cash, too. They use the same networks as credit cards (visa/mastercard networks).

I remember when debit cards first came out in the US. There was actually a 1-2% surcharge that most merchants were charging (especially smaller mom/pop type stores) to use debits - because it cost them to use the payment system just like credit cards. Eventually the merchants just baked the processing fees into the prices of all goods because most transactions are done with cards. Even checks now are converted to an "ACH debit" at the checkstand and the funds come out of your account immediately. You can't float checks anymore, not that that was ever a good idea anyway.
That was a great ending. Also brings up an interesting thought. If something that gruesome and important to New York's history has been largely forgotten after 150 years, then there will eventually come a time when 9/11 (your mention of the Twin Towers made me think of it) is all but forgotten by society and its residents (assuming New York still exists as a city in hundreds of years) and some future filmmaker could do a similar timelapse starting from where the Gangs of New York timelapse ended.
> You might be surprised how slow it is in many areas of the US, let alone the world.

I know there are digital deserts. (I just made that name up.)

But one thing I'm curious about -> often when the only CONSUMER ISP in one area (like your DSL company) is slow, there are quietly companies in your area with Gigabits of connection. If you really live out in a remote area of Colorado this may be 30 miles away from your current location, but I would LOVE to see a real "heat map" of high speed connections in the USA.

I think an absolutely killer feature for a company like Kinkos would be to have a "rent a super fast internet connection for a couple days" so you could drive someplace, download a movie or upload your backup, then come home.

The Backblaze office in San Mateo California originally only had very sad DSL line available for consumers. We requested a 10 Gbit/sec symmetric fiber connection to our office, and it took a VERY ANNOYING 3 month wait, but eventually a commercial provider (AboveNet or whatever it is called now) brought it to us as long as we signed a 3 year contract. Totally without asking, AboveNet put a fiber line in where we can light it up at up to 100 Gbits on a single strand of fiber, and they put 40 fiber strands into our office!! This costs $1,500/month so not really viable for an individual home, but maybe for a Kinkos or local ISP or shared among 10 - 100 houses this may be viable.
The inclusion of that one kinda baffled me.

No way for me to tell whether the app that's connecting would be one I'd want reading emails (I wasn't familiar with it) and without an address bar, hard to tell if it's a spoof or the real thing.

> because most of the CO2 stays in the body

Say what?

... not at all. No CO2 is "stored", though it may temporarily hang out in buffers such as the blood. But they have a very limited capacity and the flow out is extremely close to the production on a very very short timescale, and on a longer timescale approaches equality.

> which means a higher amount of oxygen is taken out of the air, then CO2 being reintroduced to it.

This is true, and I was wrong in my comment, but not for that reason. Only some of the O2 used is paired with CO2 and breathed out. Some joins with hydrogen from foods and becomes water. Most foods are carbon chains, with each carbon atom having two hydrogen atoms, so this ratio can get as high as around 2:1 for low-oxygen foods like fat, but lower for carbs, which tend to have significant quantities of oxygen (which will in balance add to the O2, meaning that more of what is used up when breathed in is breathed out). (Proteins also have nitrogen which complicates things.)
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings; look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

PB Shelley said it better.

"Here lies one whose name was writ on water."

And "a young English poet" said it better still.

But they never had the opportunity to create an artificial intelligence, did they? Since I know that nothing I do will endure long beyond my death, and that failure of the flesh is inevitable under current technology, I think that my best chance at a legacy will be to create an artificial consciousness that likes the same things that I like, and dislikes the same things that I dislike, mimics my behavior to perfection, and possesses the same catalog of memories.

Then it can spend an eternity doing absolutely nothing of consequence, just like I would do with immortality, if I had it. Thus, the rule of zero legacy is preserved.
Making a portable device that never thermally throttles means a non-practical thermal system, likely consuming power and generating noise by running 100% all the time.

The reality is that the thermal output differs by well over an order of magnitude depending on what you are doing.

When a complicated task comes along, the system may:
1. spike to full CPU usage at max power usage (possibly higher than rated TDP)
2. if the work continues, get temporarily throttled while the cooling system catches up
3. settle on a "steady state" thermal performance

Since the design of the cooling system is different on a case-by-case basis, the thermal properties are now customizable by the laptop manufacturer to match their system.

This can cause issues with certain "stress test" benchmarks which do not take into account the more complex nature of both modern CPUs and cooling solutions. The performance curve from start to stop of a CPU load task no longer looks like a square wave.

I assume you were referring to the 2018 MBP with i9 chip (which I own). Initially there was an issue because the thermal and power profile that the machine shipped were not appropriate (and actually in some cases made the i9 machine perform inferior to an i7).

They fixed this with a later software update, which AFAIK resolved people's issues. I didn't purchase my machine until after the software update was released, so I never saw the original behavior.
Sure, you're right. But still working on Raspberry Pi with busybox make the same unixy feel as working on laptop with GNU coreutils (not to say on Raspbian with coreutils). So I don't think it makes much sense to make a distinction here. After all it's possible that some other implementation of coreutils gets adopted by major distros one day, and people would probably care less than they did about the transition from SysVinit to systemd.
What is your preferred language for backend?
Remote doesn't always work for every sector of development. I had a huge cubical full of industrial hardware, had a lab with even more hardware, a plant for assembling and testing hardware, etc. We had a "no remote" policy because it just wasn't possible to get things done without actually being in the office.

And after spending years doing embedded systems, industrial control, communications...I was pretty much the opposite of a Web/Mobile developer. Trying to get a remote gig while having none of those skills was difficult (yes there are other industries that can do remote too, but what I was "good at" was not remote friendly tech). I had to create a side job, make a real world project and go around showing that I knew the tech just to get my foot in the door to places that would allow remote work.
> doesn't achieve all that much in the big picture

Bizarre way to talk about award-winning breakthrough research in applying verification to large practical programs.
But would megacorps try that? Working in one, we fully expect that vast majority of candidates know someone on the inside. Hence, cheating on glassdoor and such would logically only add "liars" to whatever their insider friend would tell them. Not a great deal, if you ask me.

Edit: having gone through the article: none of the companies here are close to "megacorp". The biggest one seems to be SAP.
Dropout is traditionally only applied at training time: c.f. "At test time the weights are multiplied by their probability of their associated units’ dropout." from the medium post you linked. I _suspect_ that leaving it on during test has been accidentally tried a bunch of times though :) - so probably is not effective, although it could be interesting to experiment more intentionally with test-time noise. Our brains do not separate so cleanly between train and test, and so it seems more natural for the noise to be always on (if that's even the case as it seems hard to know what's noise when you haven't completely decoded the brain's activity). Decoding the brain seems to be super promising though and I hope we get good enough so as to upload our minds someday. Here's an interesting related article I read recently towards that end: http://www.foldl.me/uploads/papers/ccn2018.pdf

It is a bit more than a library because it has a significant Runtime component, but a bit less than a full blown VM.

You could also call a drop in libc replacement that not only implements the standard but also the quirks and extensions of a specific implementation, an emulator.
Savings are invested into creation of long-lasting capital goods that are just as real as grain reserves or oil stockpiles, and that yield a positive return over the original investment - companies being "massively more productive per worker" isn't the exception, it's (hopefully) the rule. Yes there is risk involved and some investments won't work out, but that's why you diversify and make conservative assumptions. (Now if the economy was projected to stagnate in the future, you might have a bit of a point. But since our economy is growing, even "paper" wealth like government bonds can easily yield a positive return.)
Thx!

Then, if the performance is "worse" or "better" for a specific OS, it's just because the code of the open-source part (kernel and/or userland progs) and/or the app (game/application/whatever) is not written as well as on the other OSs, right?

Indirectly asking as well: even if the firmware is alway the same one, there is no "part" of the firmware that is dedicated to only a specific OS?
Nvidia refuses to support GBM for Wayland and instead came out with a completely different buffer API, EGLStreams. This is pretty arrogant. As I use sway, and it doesn't support Nvidia, I chose an AMD Vega 64, which works great.

Doesn't Microsoft's Surface line have a similar power connector?
I am on the same boat. but instead of a vega you can get the last generation best of the best for under $170! 60+% of performance for under 1/3 of the price.
> "Leaders working on world hunger problem ate lunch, exacerbating problem"

In both of those scenarios, the goal is to make it possible so everybody can do those things. The leaders working on world hunger, want everybody to be able to eat lunch like them. The leaders working on global clean water want everybody to be able to drink 3 pitchers of water without having to worry if they will get sick.

The leaders at the climate conference are discussing policies that would encourage/mandate that fewer people took plan trips, and that private jets were more expensive to fly.

> ten TBytes will take two months

Backblaze "Best Practices" recommends you get fully backed up within 30 days, but honestly we won't be bothered and cut you off even if it takes 6 months to upload your whole backup. As long as you are aware of the exposure for the first two months (where only half your data is backed up), I still think this would be FINE for somebody with 10 TBytes.

If you do something like this, the only thing you have to know is Backblaze backs up files in "size order". Small files first. So maybe if your digital movies are more replaceable than your pictures, you might be through 5 TBytes of photos in the first month and be "protected enough" to live with?
Yep. I had his problem, too, and resetting the SMC fixed it immediately.
"Ruby was optimized for the developer, not for running it in production," says Sid. "For the things that get hit a lot and have to be very performant or that, for example, have to wait very long on a system IO, we rewrite those in Go … We are still trying to make GitLab use less memory"

Honestly, I think that Go is beginning to be where Rails was few years ago, and lots of developer friends want to hop on the Go train because everybody is doing the same.

In the same time, I'm thinking about switching to Gitea or Gogs + Drone.io, because Gitlab takes just too.damn.much.memory !
Seriously, 8GB RAM to even just begin with ? (Because yes, 4GB RAM + 4GB Swap is not viable).
Even my biggest website is not consuming as much.

So if I could suggest something, it would be a global rewrite in Go or something like that, to lower the requirements, not just one or two parts (excuse me, microservices ;)).

Just my 2 cents
Yeah I have to agree with this. I'm getting this vibe from a lot of changes to JS lately. A mess designed to cover another mess and people almost blindly supporting the new mess just because there is some logical rationale for it.

Pi and the collapse of peer review (2017)
I was looking for a comment like this. I also assume the decision was influenced by GitHub which put RoR at it's high as well as what the original author ( Dmitriy ) decided to do so.

Anyway, why they stick to RoR these days is probably because they have invested too much into it ( same reason as of why FB is kinda stuck with PHP ).

This article doesn't make a lot of sense btw, since "they" ( hundreds+ people org ) did not choose anything as the reality is probably that one person ( Dmitriy Zaporozhets ) woke up one day and said "Hey let's see how far I can go with this."
I "wanted to" because of frustration, but my entire comment is intended to express the frustration, explain it and make sure we can better understand one another. Really the opposite of hostility but I certainly failed to express myself correctly. I'll try to do better next time.

Well Nvidia is better with closed source drivers than AMD with open source, having open source driver means nothing in term of driver quality, what matters is how many people are working on it and for Nvidia there are much much more people working on it because Nvidia is very popular outside of gaming on Linux.
