That's a great use case where a quantifiable improvement would lend itself to a business case as an approximate ROI calculation could be made.

I will have to think of how to extend the functionality of the model to support this. Perhaps using the existing behaviour as "road segments", then having the "arrival sequence" of one segment originate from the cars exited from another segment.

Thanks for your comment!
Carbon sequestration is a red herring. It won't keep up with emissions and will waste valuable time reducing emissions, which can be done now. I don't know if you've done the simple energy delta math on most sequestration plans, but a lot of them involve emitting a lot of new carbon.
I had been using electric blanket July/August - quite unusual :-)
I am going quite in the opposite way. My IDE is getting more and more the shell, the VI(M) and the terminal based development tools (in my case mostly Haskell and Shell-Related). The more I work the more I am getting used to the terminal, get better usage of the tools. And strangely I find my screen more often to just have fullscreen terminal window.

I concede that I do not do any web or graphics development at the moment, this might help. But it's deeply satisfying to be able to discover new helpful functionality in the tools that are there for decades. And it's good to be able to use them almost everywhere, be it on a server over ssh or on a windows box with cygwin.
I'm no expert in this area, but I have been paying attention. Iran's government is much more fragmented than what I'm accustomed to as a US citizen - the impression I get is that there are factions in Iran that have differing and sometimes opposed agendas. It seems like the group poking the bear right now are in control of the military (or at least, their navy), but I've not seen any indication that the political class is in support.

This wouldn't be unprecedented. Japan had similar issues in the leadup to World War 2. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukden_Incident
Thank you for your detailed explanation. The visualisation you mentioned (by nullschool.net) is what I use regularly, however, without much understanding of climate dynamics.

Ask me anything.
I hitchhiked quite often in Europe around the turn of the century. Something that was unheard of in my suburban middle American youth. It seemed like the most normal thing in the world in Central Europe/The Baltics especially with travelers in orderly queues respecting who arrived first etc. Mostly it was great and someone would pick you up in short order and the resultant conversations were interesting. Occasionally you'd get dropped in a bad spot or an unlucky time and you'd wait a while. Only once did I give up and take a train after 24 hours of nothing and sleeping overnight on a park bench in the rain. I'd love to have the health and freedom of those days again.

I experienced everything from dirt poor people in rusting apart cars who were willing to share everything they had with you, to people in obscenely expensive suits and luxury rides who were unbothered by your road grime. A particularly memorable trip was in a high end Mercedes at terrifying speeds from Genoa, Italy through southern France, and having/getting to wander around Monaco for a few hours in while the driver tended to some business there on the way. The cheapest thing I could find to drink was a 10 Euro lemonade at a cafe as I watched private helicopters come and go from a seaside heliport. Definitely too rich a place for me, but one I never though I would see.
It doesn't stop the 'raid the local Microcenter' problem though -- which I was guilty of at my last job. As it turns out people realized that at scale it was actually cheaper to just buy out big-box stores and play the silicon lottery with GeForce cards than buy Nvidia's high-end cards.

Now look, Nvidia wants to make more money, let's not pretend that there's really any other primary motivation here. And segmenting the people who make money with their cards and the people who use them for entertainment is a pretty solid way to do that. However, the secondary reason for this is that on the consumer side people complained that stores were constantly sold out of new cards from large businesses buying them all up. Some stores implemented rationing schemes but the 'final solution' it seems is to just stick a line in the license that says you can't stick these cards in your DC.
Could it be the information bombardment made you impenetrable to the real information? For example, since I found really important information and sources I value, no bullshit sources distract my attention. I don't watch TV, I don't visit popular news websites (including HN, made an exception today), I'm not captured by any social net service.

I feel like I'm still half-blind and thus see no clear way out of the prison, just like you. I'm a really honest man and the fight for the real world requires an advanced pretentiousness skill which I lack.

I left 5 years ago, but a friend of mine who stayed said that Google's basically given up on trying to hold the line on latency, and recent projects don't care. Which is kinda a damn shame - when we were Nooglers we fought for bytes - but I get the sense that the institutional knowledge about how much latency affects revenue left when Marissa, Amit, Craig, et al departed and Larry & Sergey moved upstairs to Alphabet. Sundar's background is Google Toolbar, Chrome, and Android, all of which are product areas where latency doesn't matter because it's installed desktop software.
I think there's truth in this. Political commentary is like a magnetar for the less informed; it self selects for increasingly degenerate discussion.
The storytelling effectiveness of TLoU -- I was all misty-eyed at the end, and I realized I cared about the character I was protecting, not just playing a stealth shooter game -- is a credit to the entire holistic project. IIUC, they used an in-house narrative/scripting DSL that's written in Racket.
>most P2P platforms won't translate well to phones, since you at least need centralization for the push notifications. Such is life

This isn't a fact of life, this is a flaw in the API of most popular mobile OSes. Open source comunnity maintaned operating systems have solved the problem of providing a network service for handling push notifications (local or not) multiple times now and these companies have refused to implement them because it makes it much easier to create an ecosystem around their crap.

This gives them controll and controll can be traded for money, it has aboslutely nothing to do with technology. That's just life
And if it IS end-to-end encrypted, you should assume that the full contents may be made public at any time. Companies don't only record contents of communications over the wire you know, eventually they have to be decrypted on the end points.
if the CTO is inexperienced, you can hire a mentor for the CTO. nominally the CTO still makes the decisions, but can fall back on the mentor for advice.

a good leader also listens to his team and doesn't make decisions against the teams judgement. so it's not always necessary to replace an inexperienced CTO. you can also give the CTO the opportunity to get the experience they need in order to continue.
No mention of perma bans of specific users? Michael O. Church comes to mind.

Does Microsoft Teams piggyback off the Skype protocol and servers or is that a separate service?
Depends on what you define as "high level stuff", really. We're seeing an increasing amount of people who are writing network services and web back-ends in Rust; that's sometimes perceived as "high-level", depending on where you sit in the stack.
This is a big win for AMD and for me it reconfirms that their strategy of pushing into the mainstream features that Intel is trying to hold hostage for the "high end" is a good one. Back when AMD first introduced the 64 bit extensions to the x86 architecture and directly challenged Intel who was selling 64 bits as a "high end" feature in their Itanium line, it was a place where Intel was unwilling to go (commoditizing 64 bit processors)

That proved pretty successful for them. Now they have done it again by commoditizing "high core count" processors.

Each time they do this I wonder if Intel will ever learn that you can't "get away" with selling something for a lot of money that can be made more cheaply forever. Processors are not a veblen good.
I also have the heretical belief that for the vast majority of applications, the best way to handle malloc() returning NULL is to abort the process.

The main reason is that the error handling code has a high probability of being buggy because allocating memory is pervasive in most code and it's unlikely that you're going to have tests that provide adequate coverage of all the interesting code paths. The consequences of incorrect behaviour are often worse than the consequences of a process crash.
Disagree. Plenty of perverts in many countries. Do some googling about the guys in trench coats on trains in Japan.
Your CI pipeline should be simple, relatively unchanging and therefore trusted. When shit breaks (and it will) you should get a signal much earlier. This signal should strongly relate to your most recent changes -- and your changes should be small because you commit early and often, right?

For finding where you can have the most impact here, I highly recommend Project Drawdown; it's a data-driven roundup of proposed solutions, ranked by how effective they are actually estimated to be. It takes into account things like cost, timelines and political feasibility as well. There's a summary of the book here: https://www.drawdown.org/

And if you're into graphic design, there's a really small group of devs within CCL working on an OSS project we're using to coordinate calls to representatives - like reminding members to call, helping with talking points and tracking which districts we are making calls in: https://projectgrandcanyon.com/ You can message me (email in profile) if you're keen and I can put you in touch with the maintainers.
Yes, but even internally, separation between departments in a company is extremely important.

Google cannot have a breach between the services running gmail and the services running adwords for example, even if those are running in the same server on an internal cloud that has strict permissions being enforced by software.

This is especially even more relevant in any kind of datacenter application, even if the company is the sole tenant, because they are working with Client Data - which is data that does not belong to Google, but to their customers.

Your right about pricing power. I think the net benefit from new competitive AMD chips will be to force Intel to adjust its premium pricing. Personally when I'm looking for personal needs or pricing out a build for use in work (basically not quite "big" data, but data about as big as can be done on a single high-end workstation) I don't really care about brand. I care about cost-performance factors, and component compatibility. I'll happily choose AMD if they're a 20% discount over Intel
The internet selects for these low info, useless discussions because outrage is profitable. The longer you rant on facebook/twitter, the longer you are on the site looking at ads.

Most problems in the world require a substantial technical background to fully appreciate well enough to have a relevant opinion, but people blindly comment anyway because they better understand the outrage on the internet than the actual real world issue.
No but your mom does.
As far as I understand it, it’s not uncommon for third party parts to try to appear genuine. There’s usually imperfections in the faking that Apple hones in on, but it’s a bit of a cat and mouse game.

There’s also the possibility of repairs being performed with used or otherwise tampered with genuine parts, which are almost as much of a wildcard as third party parts.

Maybe things have improved with smartphones, but I remember third party replacements for MacBooks with swappable batteries being worse than a crapshoot — on top of bad capacity and faster degradation they also often caused kernel panics and power management issues. I can see why Apple might want to not be stuck with supporting that.

I seriously considered it just under $2. If I believed all I read about zen it would have been a sure thing to double or triple my money on an AMD comeback. But I couldnt tell if that was my intuition or just hope, so no bet. If I had bought there's no way I would have held all this time either (maybe some shares but not all). But with what's happening now it looks like $40 is entirely possible. That will be 20x in just a few years, but I didnt play...
""Pay-to-win" is one of those weasel phrases that doesn't really mean anything specifically."

I can't answer your question because I tend to stay far away from "collectible" games.

But, if 13-year-old you scrapes together your lunch money and buys a "Magic: The Gathering Spellslinger Starter Kit Core Set 2020" (https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Spellslinger-Starter-...), are they going to be routinely beaten by someone who spends $100 on booster packs? Assuming roughly similar skill levels, that is?
That’s part of my point.

Cutting yourself from new frameworks and hardware features just to cut churn would be a horrible tradeoff in most cases.

There are some niches where churn can be mostly avoided, but I think churn is usually a fact of life we could just embrace at a healthy pace.

From the opposite angle, a field with extremely low churn would seem suspicious to me. For instance I would expect any language with no significant update in the last 10 years to have abysmal unicode support.

Seems like a good thing for consumers buying second-hand phones.

That’s not to say all third party batteries (or unauthorised replacements of genuine batteries) are bad, but as a consumer it’s nice to at least be aware what’s in your phone.
>For most developers, it doesn't. They're both making x86_64 chips

This is true for the vast majority, but there are niche cases were there are differences even though both are both x86_64(like Intel's FlexMigration and AMD-V Extended Migration).

Life After the Internet
I think this trend started way before digital media. Since TV a lot of people spend hours every day in front of a screen which is their main source of information about the outside world. Business also has been becoming increasingly impersonal. You are beholden to shareholders you don’t know and shareholders demand things from people they don’t know. You can’t give feedback to job applicants for a vague fear of being sued. We are afraid of strangers talking to children or even us.

I am not sure if this trend will be positive or negative long term but I think social media is just another (accelerated) step in that direction.

We aren't eating the planet to death. The planet has survived asteroids and all sorts of things, including the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and most of the life on earth.

The only thing we might be doing is ruining humanity's own long-term chances of survival. There's a distinct possibility that humans will undergo a mass extinction. That doesn't mean the planet is dead, though.

There is bacteria that can survive in extreme temperatures (for example, in extremely hot underwater volcanic plumes).

Worst case scenario, humans go extinct and some other life-form ends up evolving. You could be looking at some kind of sentient jellyfish taking over the planet in a billion years or whatever.
Are iPhones too expensive? (Apple slips to 4th place in IHS Markit’s list)
I think the idea is that there won't necessarily be any whistleblowers even if the secret project has dubious or even scary implications.

I'm not sure the Manhattan Project is a great example either; who leaked that into the public domain? Or did you mean in some other sense?
Think of it like this: Most calculations of take-home pay for Uber drivers factoring in all vehicle costs come out to somewhere at or below minimum wage in local markets. That means that if Uber can get rid of human drivers, its potential margin increase including vehicle costs is that same minimum wage in the local market, which is actually respectable. It's probably slightly better than that since Uber as a large-scale fleet operator would get economies of scale for repairs, maintenance, cleaning, fuel/electricity/insurance, etc. that individual drivers don't get.

It's difficult to put real numbers on it, but I'd say a good guess is Uber could drop its ride prices 10% or more from current levels and still turn a profit with driverless cars. Raising enough capital to purchase the vehicles initially would be pretty easy.
Hmm, fair enough. It feels a bit reminiscent of the commoditize your complement type of thing.
I don't think it is that odd at all. It is a bit like how people brag about how drunk they get, how stupid the things they did while drunk were, how hung over they are. They pretend like they are confessing but they are really bragging. Same with smoking/vaping. Same with people who relish in the toxic drama they invite into their lives.

I believe there is some dark psychology behind all of this. I think we test each other not only on how virtuous we are, but in what ways we are morally deficient. Being addicted to social media is one way we give ourselves permission to indulge in types of negative behavior that existed long before computers existed. These kind of articles are a tacit justification of those behaviors.

> Each time they do this I wonder if Intel will ever learn that you can't "get away" with selling something for a lot of money that can be made more cheaply forever

I think the keyword is "forever". They know they can get away with that for a long time though. Because they historically have.

Intel has almost no overclocking headroom. It's only about 5% or so. Both AMD and Intel have squeezed everything they can out at this point, there's not really anything left.

The main difference is on Intel you get that magical sounding 5ghz number by overclocking, but it's not actually much higher than stock (4.7ghz on the 9900k is the "all-core turbo")
