I'd tend to expect Radeon for compute to do best at the very largest companies where the cost of optimizing everything for the workload is spread over running on a whole lot of hardware as opposed to using NVidia where there's already going to be a library optimized for what you're doing.
>Unfortunately our staple crops are far less adaptable, and we’ve already done a very good job at extracting what we can from the available pool of genetic variation.

That's very far from the truth. Out of hundreds of known natural corn varieties, we're using less than 10 natural and some genetically-engineered in industrial farming. We are so flexible in growing crops, that we can select the most efficient variants for every climate and situation.
As a workaround (not a proper solution), you can put WhatsApp in a work profile with an app such as Shelter (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/) and put only the contacts you want to use in WhatsApp there.

Granted, it's not ideal, and not even feasible if you already use the work profile fully (with contacts you don't want to share with WhatsApp).
> i dont think youve really addressed why a delivery only kitchen would fail consistently.

It would fail consistently because it has a worse dwell time compared to a comparable restaurant that also does take out while providing no real advantages. There are just no margins for error in a restaurant business. If your competitors dwell time is 10 minutes and yours is 30, you are done.

Here's is why the proximity to the residential area is important: kitchens are staffed by the group of people on the lowest tier of the economic ladder. These people use public transportation to get to places, not cars. The industrial zones where the rent is cheap aren't accessible easily via public transportation which means the kitchen staff has problems getting there, which in turn means that it selects other places.

If an industrial area is easily accessible by a car from the residential areas which is what is necessary for it to be a good source for deliveries then the rent in that area is only slightly lower than the rent in the residential area so there's really no win at putting the kitchen there. To get a win on rent one needs to put it 20-30 minutes away where the rent could be significantly cheaper. Except that it means that it takes at least 30 minutes to get to the border of the residential area with the food, plus additional 10-15 minutes inside the service area, which means the delivery only saving money by putting the place in the cheaper industrial area restaurant has the following minuses:

1. Difficulty to get kitchen staff
2. 45 minutes of driving to get from its kitchen to an average customer if the driver is immediately available at the location [ the drivers is not at the location: the driver is probably at the transit somewhere in or around the residential area so the turn around becomes at best ~1 h ]

It's competitors located in the residential areas:

1. Don't have the logistical problem at hiring staff
2. Can get food delivered in sub 25 minutes of driving

The only positive for the outskirts kitchen is ~20-30% at best save on the rent.
Is no-one else running into FastLeaderElectionFailed? When you have a system that writes a lot of offset/transaction info to zookeeper you can push the zxid 32-bit counter to rollover in a matter of days. When this happens it can bring zookeeper to a grinding halt for 15 minutes after 2 nodes try to nominate themselves for leadership and the rest of the cluster sits back and waits for a timeout.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2164

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2791

Requests (can't find them in JIRA at the moment, so I need to paraphrase) in the past to have a call to initiate a controlled leadership move to another node have been turned down as "you don't need this" yet leadership election fails in some circumstances! In addition there's no command or configuration to disable FastLeaderElection.

So the zookeeper maintainers keep operators limited to having to flip nodes off and on again, which is really a bad way to manage software because it impacts clients as well as leadership (and even if clients recover, most code that I've seen like to make some noise when zk connections flap). I would really like to eliminate all use cases for zookeeper where there is a chance that the zxid will exceed the size of its 32-bit counter component in the span of, say, a decade so that as an operator I don't have to set alerts on the zxid counter creeping up, and having to reset zookeeper and restart all of its clients (many versions of many zookeeper clients don't retry after connection loss, don't retry after a timeout, don't cope with the primary connection failing, will have totally given up after 15 minutes, etc.).

I think that the kafka maintainers have been doing a better job of actively maintaining their code and ensuring it works in adverse conditions, so I'm on board with this proposal.

Zookeeper isn't magic, it's just pretty good at most of what it does, and I think that projects that understand when they've pushed zookeeper into a bad corner may benefit from this kind of move, if they also have a good idea of how they can do better.
I have seen the army in my country to emphasize on having total control on each and every equipment they have. They boast on being able to completely disassemble and reassemble all the mechanical war machines.

I wonder how that works for software heavy war equipment, such as F-35. Does the seller provide full source code and control (and probably training?) over modification of the software? Do they agree on the paper only that the buyer can never get to use those weapons against the seller? Or, do they set those policies right inside the control units of those weapons?

If the seller country have significant control on the control units of the war instruments sold to another country, and if the seller country is able to update/modify/ control/restrict devices over the air, won't that make the buyer country just an outpost of the seller country?
Woa who said anything about communism? All I suggested is that we should take care of our citizens. We could do this for example via Universal Basic Income, which is very much capitalist (unless you abide by the common American false notion that "helping people" = communism).

> most people have access to...

Why is "most" a good enough metric? If most people have homes but my commute to work is littered with tents of homeless people, is that adequate? Should politicians just throw in the towel then and call it a day because "most" people have houses?

I think we can do better.

Perhaps, like me, your serial port was driven by an older UART chip like an 8250 [0] which could be a bottleneck for modems faster than 9,600 baud.

I remember in teen years phoning the local computer shop every week asking if they had the 16550 UART [1] serial cards in stock yet to upgrade my 486DX4-100 to get full 28.8kbps from my modem. Can't remember if they ever did.

I think the 16550 was faster largely because it had a larger buffer, so it wouldn't wait or drop data as often when the CPU was slow/busy.

The fact that you go mostly "unseen" online seems completely orthogonal to whether you love programming and keep up with the latest technologies, etc. I would consider myself "dark matter" in the respect that no one knows who I am and I'm not constantly blogging or tweeting about stuff. That doesn't mean I'm not interested in, passionate about and highly competent in technology. I find it kind of insulting actually that someone would assume that just because I'm not loud about it means anything else about how much I care about it or how good at it I am. I'm not totally surprised by this though; for most people, if you're not jumping up and down telling them about how awesome you are they have no way of knowing. I see this a lot in my current job; all the developers know which of their colleagues are kick-ass at their jobs, but you have to sell yourself and your accomplishments to everyone else.

TL;DR, I know this is an old article, but it seems there's still some perception that us dark matter folks are all just passionless drones in it for the paycheck, and while there's surely some percentage of us for which that's true, I think it's completely wrong-headed to assume that's how we all are.

Turned off the "feature" as soon as Tv was on. Have been advising friends and adjusting their expensive oled TV's as well. In every case they were grateful for me "fixing" their TVs which only took a few minutes.

People just don't want to muddle around in the settings. And here lies the problem. It would be great if manufacturers would open up their interface settings to be influenced more easily by mediaplayers or settup boxes. Those in turn, could have a ruleset: if 24p, then disable motion blur if else enable motion blur. If sports enable motion blur. And so on.

It's not even limited to motion blur, I have low light and normal light profiles I'd like to have changed automatically based on the actual light in my room.
It probably does a lot more than that. It’s alway been rumored some US military tech could suddenly be turned “off” in the event of a war.

I couldn’t imagine a situation that would put Norway and the US on opposite sides. Since the military allows Norway to get F-35s they probably agree.
That sounds overly optimistic.
Ability to destroy should never be confused with desire to destroy. Sometimes they overlap, most often times they do not.

For people who actually grew up in nature, Central Park feels as synthetic as everything else in the city. Every inch is landscaped and planned out.

It's nothing like taking a walk in the woods, with the plethora of wild plants and animals. It feels like a sad attempt by a city to be less of a city, but you can't replicate or build nature.
Having a couple trees does not make it a forest. have you ever walked out in real nature?
Reduce the demand for it. Include easily accessible "article only" mode, make your site friendly to current Reader Modes for all major browsers. No obtrusive ads, no 500 trackers bogging down the browser. Quick loading. Just give us the info we need, nothing more.
Just like ad blockers were a response to websites not respecting people's attention and safety, likewise AMP is a response to them not respecting people's time.
Scott talks about how devs don't do anything to be seen yet if you look at his twitter stream it's mostly just him tweeting his own posts and retweeting other "famous" developers. He, and the majority or other very visible people in the community, gatekeep the blogosphere by failing to help anyone else break in (not necessarily consciously of course; they may just never see the less famous devs posts).

Scott could be a much bigger part of the solution than he chooses to be.
In the case of new fighter jets. Absolutely not. Other countries do not get the full packages either. There are some parts they likely take out or give them slightly inferior parts.

60 fps is probably not that important for most movies and tv shows though, but it's a bit annoying to watch music videos at 24 fps.
You can lobby against it in the same fashion there was a small campaign against infinite scrolling portals.

Also you can create an extension for yourself which rewrites the URL and opens the slow version of the same page.

At the end everyone is free, for the good or for the bad.
It's true that WhatsApp is currently the leader, but I'm wondering how it will work out for them when they start adding ads, as it has been reported they will some time next year. When there are free alternatives that don't (and assuming e.g. Signal catches up in terms of features and reliability -- big assumption I admit), it's not hard to imagine that at least a few will install these alternatives, and use them in parallel.
> Admittedly, I have no clue if the management realises that !
Well, that's the key thing in many places: it's management that decides whether to hire and how much to offer, not you :)

The first instinct would be to put 'resources' that costs little into a project, and that usually means people with less experience that requires less pay and are easier to drag around. Imagine the difficulty they will be having trying to grok your line of reasoning for respecting and going after these older devs.
I could see that working if it wasn't done naively. Prompting for confirmation and then whitelisting that high-entropy string if it is deemed safe would probably only be annoying very occasionally and catch slipups. Did they ever revisit it with a more nuanced strategy?
Yeah. Neither of the purchases are that old. The chances of you knowing of WhatsApp’s history and not remembering it being an independent company is exceedingly low.
you wouldn't like to bet that the US are the only ones capable of turning it off, either.

(1) The political attack: Google is increasingly coming under fire for being a monopolist. Such attacks could lead to the demise of or restrictions being put on AMP.

(2) The technical attack: kill the web as we know it. The idea here is that the web is hopelessly corrupted by the entanglement of text with code (e.g. Javascript,) the advertising-based business model, pop-ups, etc. A particular sign of this is "scanning" behavior where you go to Google News or Hacker News or your round of daily blogs and hit "reload" to see what is new. This has multiple insidious effects on the human nervous system, one is that some of your attention is used to suppress content that you've seen before, which lowers your working IQ.

It may sound like science fiction, but I think we need to replace the web browser with an intelligent agent which can "scan" content for us and only show us what is new, interesting, non-toxic, etc.

I think eliminating the demand is the ultimate way.

The "promise" of AMP is fast delivery of the page and ease of use on mobile devices.

Once we (as in "content creators" or whatever) start building our sites that way, AMP will get used less and less.
To be fair, I cannot imagine any nation to sell a current-generation hi tech stealth fighter jet to foreign countries without hiding some kill switch somewhere in the firmware. I always thought this is somehow implied and that countries who fear to become the enemy of former allies diversify their weapon systems appropriately. At least, that's what I would do if I was in charge.
First of all you never explained why an iPad is superior and worth the $200+ price premium. You and the 5 other comments here just come off like you're working for Apple's marketing team.

Second off I didn't tell her to buy it, just to check it out. Perhaps I should've clarified that she told me first that she was considering alternatives to the iPad due to its hefty price and heating issues. I simply presented her an alternative to research.

Also, the Samsung tablet was recommended to me by another artist who uses it exclusively. I was just passing the message along.

Sure, there's an extreme on both ends. The problem you're describing is that the upgrades suggested were probably not frictionless, managers were burnt before by needless upgrades that took too much resources for little value. If tech companies took much more care wrt upgrades and not breaking stuff, then users of the tech would not see upgrades as needlessly risky.

An example of this is net core vs net fx. Net core broke many things, has not implemented full compatibility from day one, introduced netstandard , which as of latest version is not implemented by netfx, introduced new toolset (dotnet) aside msbuild (bear in mind that VS still uses Ms uild) and so on.

This is all a matter of incentives both for tech companies and for their workers - they are often rewarded for short term/easy to see by managers impact, not for bugfixing, stability or long term support. It was not always like this - in the 90s MS would be picked because they took care to not break stuff. Migrating .Net 1.1 to 2.0 was super easy.
That's a nice way to describe something, but it doesn't have to be a problem. Some devs around me (partially me too) just doesn't want to tweet or write blogs about tech, yet we could work in bleeding edge tech or writing cobol at the same time.

Some people maybe don't need help, guidance, or something like that, maybe just maybe we like the things as they are now.

Maybe we'll start doing all of social stuff some day.

It's just okay.
Probably the only useful way to fight Google is to promote non-Google controlled web browsers with adblockers.

Because developing good warplanes is extremely expensive and difficult. Also using same equipment as your allies has advantages - can secure external parts supply during a war, foreign planes can easily use your fields, etc. Of course, buying foreign planes comes with risks as well - parts supply might be embargoed, other countries will know something about your plane, etc.

Judging by Norway's likely adversary (Russia), in all likelihood the risks were judged to be small compared to the advantages of using the best available plane from a country (US) usually not in good terms with Russia.
There is nothing new about it.

There is a real transformative power to diet and exercise, but the diet to expose your abs and other muscles like a body builder is brutal whether you take drugs or not.
What TV manufacturers are doing is unacceptable. It introduces strange artifacts and the motion looks very artificial compared to a native 60fps video. So it really doesn't solve anything.

The argument that it's the filmmakers' fault for using 24fps is flawed. What about animation? What about stop motion? Those may never be produced at a higher framerate. Movies with high VFX budgets will be much more expensive due to the additional frames when rotoscoping and compositing.

So if it is inferior and only makes sense for a subset of productions, why is it the default?

It would cost them $20/hr per validator (burdened).

If only 5 items an hour are bad returns, that's $4 per item identified.

It's likely cheaper to have you, the customer, do the valuation because you might not even realize the issues... And if you do, you might be too lazy to return it. Which further let's the value of hitting a validator.. so the employee would now be to probably find twice as many bad returns per hour for the company to break even.

When have the predictions of experts been wrong? The consensus about global warming in the scientific community has been hitting it on the nose for decades. If anything, they’ve underestimated how rapid change would be. Their advice has also been largely ignored by governments. If we had actually let experts dictate policy back in the 90’s when the consensus was established, global warming would be solved by now.
