10 GbE or M.2 NVMe performance is already significantly degraded by being on a PCH in the first place. More hops, higher latency, much lower IOPS. Don't do it if you can avoid it.

The thing is that most things aren't (currently) bottlenecked by PCIe 3.0. A 2080 Ti shows about 3% performance degradation by running in 3.0x8 mode. 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0 is 4 GB/s (32 Gb/s) which is plenty for 10 Gb/s networking... or even 40 Gb/s networking like Infiniband QDR (which runs at 32 Gb/s real speed after encoding overhead). So you can reasonably run graphics, 10 GbE, and one NVMe device off your 3.0x16 PEG lanes.

And AMD also provides an extra 3.0x4 for NVMe devices, so you can run graphics, 10 GbE, and NVMe RAID without touching the PCH at all.

The real use-case that I see is SuperCarrier-style motherboards that have PEX/PLX switches and shitloads of x16 slots multiplexed into a few fast physical lanes, like a 7-slot board or something. Or NVMe RAID/JBOD cards that put 4 NVMe drives onto a single slot. But right now there are no PEX/PLX switch chips that run at PCIe 4.0 speeds anyway, so you can't do that.

Creating maintainable test suites for complex systems. The episode describes some complexities involved with hardware testing, then shares techniques for shifting complexity out of the test cases.

* quick overview of what test instruments are
* discussion of API and communication with instruments
* techniques for shifting complexity out of test cases

These techniques should apply to all test suites dealing with complex systems:

* Creating test cases that are easy to read and debug and tell a story about what is being tested.
* Pushing setup complexity into fixtures.
* Pushing lengthy repetitive API call sets into helper functions.
* Using stable, documented, interfaces.

> The problem? That finding is the result of a grievous misunderstanding on Dolan’s part of how the American Time Use Survey works. The people conducting the survey didn’t ask married people how happy they were, shoo their spouses out of the room, and then ask again. Dolan had misinterpreted one of the categories in the survey, “spouse absent,” which refers to married people whose partner is no longer living in their household, as meaning the spouse stepped out of the room.

This has to be one of the most embarrassing, ridiculous errors in interpretation I've seen. The barriers to book publishing are startlingly low.
No desktop productivity OS with a linear mission control style desktop switcher is going to be taken seriously by me. I have fought for total spaces for so long just because the idea of a grid makes so much more sense than a line of apps.

1- Install SyncThing on both your Mac and Linux box.

2- Point Mac client to ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs

3- Optional, for extra privacy run your own discovery/relay server.

4- Enjoy iCloud Drive on Linux.

You could push it much further by running the native app in a Windows VM and sync more than just your files.

>Marx is steering the conversation off-topic to rant about how awful wages are.

The topic isn't at all a normative discussion on wages; Marx is tracing wages as a social-historical phenomenon, one of "natural history"[0], one which occurred rather than being merely a philosophical abstract concept. Hegel, at the very least, merged these - "what is rational is real, and what is real is rational" - but Bastiat, just like Proudhon, did not. Marx's point is that it's a folly to discuss the world as it really exists when you abstract away from the social formations that determine consciousness - including, of course, the consciousness of such abstraction. Economics is not merely thought experiments and philosophy, it's supposed to be real, and when you start from an anti-historical point you will arrive at an anti-historical conclusion. See, for example, Marx's (and other's before and after him) criticisms of the "economic" theory of Robinson Crusoe.

I am curious how Bastiat can claim to describe a universal truth without reference to real, historical social formations which produce these truths. By what mechanism does Bastiat have the "view from nowhere"?

[0] "To prevent possible misunderstanding, a word. I paint the capitalist and the landlord in no sense couleur de rose [i.e., seen through rose-tinted glasses]. But here individuals are dealt with only in so far as they are the personifications of economic categories, embodiments of particular class-relations and class-interests. My standpoint, from which the evolution of the economic formation of society is viewed as a process of natural history, can less than any other make the individual responsible for relations whose creature he socially remains, however much he may subjectively raise himself above them."

That doesn't seem too unusual to me.

I worked with US and European financial institutions who regularly requested / needed guarantees that data (not necessary financial data, all sorts of data), who had access to what, and etc.

Most of it all seemed design to ensure that the things / company / people were within a reasonable legal context, sometimes that context was just what country the data was in, the people who worked on it.

Laws provide everyone a framework to know how things might play out if something goes wrong, if someone is in a country that generally doesn't respect those laws all rules are out the window.
Sadly that’s true. I see so many Engadget laptop deals with decently spec’d hardware - SSD, Core I5’s —— and a low resolution 1366x768 displays.
Bit of a leading question - it used to be worse, use gigs of ram, etc. I don't hate it anymore for this, but I must say, I'm not a fan of the growing number of features and complexity...
Is anyone exploring modeling an unmanned sample return mission after Zubrin's Mars Direct plan?

It seems like something that could be done with little fundamentally new technology. Demonstrating the real-world application of the synthesis and use of fuel off-planet would be a major milestone in space exploration. To top it off, bringing back the first samples from Mars would be a major feather in the cap of any nation or corporation.

I find it's best to look at laws like this as social trends. Look at the way that same sex marriage or legal marijuana spreads through the united states. One or two progressive states adopt the policy, it gains steam, and soon it's the new norm nationwide.

I like to think that the same thing can happen on a global scale.

Whenever you have sharing, you usually have side channels. We're going to see more and more of this until we have much better hardware isolation.

This is a kind of obvious variant of Rowhammer, which hasn't generally been fixed AFAIK.

Hardware in the late 2010s seems a bit like Windows in the late 1990s - a house of cards waiting to collapse, but the dominant vendors know that very few customers are willing to pay more for security and reliability vs. performance/features/new and shiny.

(So if we're lucky then we'll end up with a "more secure" version of hardware that is analogous to... Windows Vista.)

I've been diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. While I hope to be around for awhile yet, I'm getting things ready for my wife to take over our digital life. Setting things up for easy backup and retrieval, ect. One of the things I've started is a

Word document with instructions on how to backup, what to do if the computer crashes, how to handle 1Password, what subscriptions are important ect. It'll be printed out and put in the safe.

My opinion is modern generations are woefully unprepared for how to handle our digital stuff when we pass. Whereas before we had physical photos, video cassettes, ect. that were easily handled, now everything is digital, sometimes just on phones.

Who believes what Apple says? Most things Apple says are completely bullshit.

From the Mac Pro trash can product page(norwegian): "Enough performance to realize all your biggest ideas"

"You will never want more speed"

And let's not forget why Apple is sticking to 3.5" screens. It is the perfect size, and that's why Apple won't make phones bigger. It's definetly not because Apple is lagging behind. Oh, wait...

Never belive Apple's marketing. It's misleading and often false.
Only if the change is localized to specific blocks.

Besides, block-level dedup is expensive to maintain. Unless you're expecting to find a lot of duplicates -- which probably isn't the case on most end-user devices -- it's a net loss.

1. If I use my middle mouse button to open an article in a new window, it opens in the existing window.

2. If I click an article, it's displayed, and the URL is updated. If I access that URL directly, or if I right click the article and open in a new tab, it fails with an error (seems to be fixed now).

3. When viewing an article and I scroll down, it's automatically closed. I know this is a feature, but it's incredibly annoying.

Well, you can do a lot of crazy stuff with Linux Desktops and it certainly is a good platform for trying new ideas. Nevertheless, if you want to be productive, just take KDE and STFU. Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude and if you like Gnome/Unity better, just go for it.

It is just my personal experience that you can do all sorts of customizations, but in the end, the productivity killers are not your overlapping windows but your news and social media pages.

So what I am using is quite simple:

- Standard KDE window management (kwin) for Firefox, Thunderbird, Okular, Libre Office, Gimp, etc.

- Yakuake with tumx + vim (productivity)

- Virtual desktops, when things get crowded (rarely need more than 3)

The only feature I am missing (about once per year) is the tabbed-window we had back in late KDE 3.
Mac laptops aren’t upgradable without goofy adapters to convert nvme ssd m.2 to apple’s form factor, at which point your case won’t close up without flexing the aluminum or main board or both. For many MacBook Pro users, upgrading storage is buying a new laptop.

That’s expensive in my opinion.

OWC has made drives that fit Apple’s form factor (assuming your laptop is old enough) for a nice premium. Depending on which laptop you have, this can still be a science experiment.
They CAN.

They usually don't.

First, most zoos end up having to be driven by capitalism (even if they are non-profit), and as such are incentivized to try to game-ify the experience. Many parents and most children don't want to pay money to be lectured to. They want to have FUN.

Therefore, the experience ends up arriving at an awkward intersection between science and commerce, and it can create unhelpful connotations between animal captivity and entertainment.

Second, most people have an inate understanding that a living creature in captivity is wrong, and likely not super beneficial for the creature. So the zoos - both super conservation-focused ones, and brutal cruel entertainment zones alike - have to make an effort to justify and convince the public that actually the animals are well taken care of, are comfortable, and happy, true or not.

This further perpetuates the idea in people's heads that animals exist for our amusement and we can give them a better happier life than the wilderness.

Why is all this a problem? Because childhood memories are formative and significant. These experiences shape us and our understanding of the world. We are in a significant time of species extinction - caused directly by human activity. The amount that people care about this, about deforestation, about habitat loss, directly affects how much they care about voting for policies that either help the situation, or exacerbate it.

I'll reiterate - I think zoos/aquariums CAN be a force of good here and help change many people's minds. But I don't know if overall they are a net good if the majority of the uneducated population just treats them as an entertainment escape and formulates in their head that it's not a big deal if rhinos go extinct as long as we can still see them at zoos.
Whoa, what a clickbait!
"It doesn't work because users are unwilling to go through and tag all their files."

This doesn't make sense. They "File -> Save" to a location, right? That's a tag. All metadata is tags. People give filetype suffixes to their filenames, right? That's a tag. They might "Save As -> Format", right? That's a tag. Maybe they "File -> Print" on January 17 at 3pm? That's a tag.

Oh and ALSO they are a 'superuser' who wants the photo to go into "Great Pics Of My Dog" tag? Cool, they apply that, and that's also a tag.

People can handle change, people can handle simple concepts, people use tags today, people can handle tags generally.
I’d only disagree with your ‘I don’t want to remember gestures on a trackpad’- much like keyboard shortcuts, muscle memory makes for very easy pickup of intuitive gestures; there’s little to “remember”. I’m sure nowadays you don’t have to think hard on how to Ctrl/Cmd+C/P/Z?

I think this mindset of mouse over trackpad, as others have mentioned, is to some extent correlated with hardware quality: IMO trackpads on PC/PC laptops just feel bad to use (material texture/accuracy) relative to an Apple trackpad. Latest models are slightly closer in quality.
Save the rainforest is still my main environmental mantra, thanks 5th grade. And I still think the pursuit of biodiversity is the best goal. Way more compelling to the average person than co2. And it it turns out that co2 reduction is necessary to save those lemurs, so be it. But do it for the biodiversity -- to save the rainforest. Not nearly as compelling to save the rainforest in order to reduce co2, or whatever.
TLDR: Apple's QA processes need improving?

FYI: I have a 2010 iMac and it still runs great. I am behind a few OS versions, but it does not matter for what I do. I do wish they would release a fix for this "Recent Items" issue but am not willing to upgrade. I plan to never upgrade actually, until I really need the latest Linux box for some reason. I'm not thrilled with the slow decline of Apple over the years, but it happens to every large corporation.

PS: I've been in QA for years, so my initial reaction was ... ok.... It is such a strange problem that I would try to see if I could remote login vs/ replacing motherboards.
CMU 15-815: Interactive Theorem Proving
The point of a "flat" organization is not that there is no hierarchy or structure, but that it is not officially prescribed, and instead emerges organically. This allows the structure to change as the needs and members of the team change, whereas in a traditional organization, the leadership and structure often long outlive their usefulness.

That's all well and good, but the problem with this obsession with master tapes is that they don't last forever, and degrade over time, along with every time they're taken out and handled and run through a player to create another "remaster" that has no dynamic range and lots of clipping distortion, since that's apparently what consumers want these days.
