I don't have any experience with Enterprise Wifi, but according to the article:

> This practically means that unpatched ESP devices are more secure by actually using just WPA2 Personal.

This is good for all of us DIY'ers that are only using Personal WPA2 - the worst we're exposed to is targeted DOS attacks.

I think the reason to use it over desktop Linux is pretty similar to the time range you talk about. It has a different feel and some people are more comfortable with the *BSD way.

The difference in personality has widened a bit as Linux comes up with things like systemd. If you just want a light Unix workstation that isn't trying to imitate Windows or Mac, the BSDs will get in your way less. That or a very conservative Linux distro.
It tries based on the libraries you’re using. Sounds like they’ve improved what they’re using so the built in heuristics don’t force the dedicated GPU on.

Honestly the big one for me is being able to finally debug async code, which Chrome has been able to do for a long time, and FF simply couldn't. As someone who uses FF as main browser, not being able to use to for modern code and being forced into using a different browser for proper debugging has been quite frustrating.

In Ted Chiang's latest short story collection "Exhalation" there is a story called "The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling"[1] that kind of touches on what you are talking about. In the story, one of the characters is writing up a critique about a new technology that constantly records video from a persons perspective and the video can be recalled at will (like memory). In his critique, he uses a memory (traditional - not using this new technology) he has of a large argument him and his daughter had. This moment/memory was a crucial part in his life and really defined how he viewed himself and his relationship with his daughter. I won't go into it, but the reality of the event and how he remembers it is very similar to your point - specifically, that memory is more like an imperfect play, replay and biased by your recall.

I highly recommend the book, but that story in general. As with most of his stories, he takes a premise that seems generic on it's face and twists it in ways that you wouldn't expect.

Some CS friends call this behavior "depth-firsting," as if the person is doing a depth first search and won't consider trying anything else until they're satisfied the current approach won't work -- that includes exhausting all subproblems that arise.

I know it’s been mentioned already, but my favorite is the MS Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard. I picked it up when I was starting to have RSI issues in my wrist and forearm. Together with some wrist braces, I was able to eliminate all pain in a few weeks.

When I was looking, my criteria were: comfort, usability (bonus points for a standard layout), and PC/Mac interoperability. The Ergo Sculpt met all of those well, although some individual units seem to not work properly with the Mac.

The best thing is, it only cost $65! Not bad for a tool that’s probably the reason I’m still in the industry 2 years later.
Uhh nowhere in the article does the CEO say that.

He says:

SEEKING FREELANCER | Programming Training | Seattle + SF + Other cities | DevelopIntelligence

DevelopIntelligence gives hands-on training courses (generally 3-4 days each at client sites) to software developer teams (generally mid-level and senior devs) at companies like Intuit, Starbucks, and Salesforce. The courses are generally 40% lecture, 40% labs/coding, and 20% Q&A.

Because we've been growing, we need to find more developers/trainers to come teach for us. We really need a lot of help in front-end, devops, ML, golang and cloud (among several other areas...).

We need to find developers who have a couple things (this can be be challenging): 1) Have the time/interest to teach and have taught professionally before 2) Can build their own labs/slides for their course 3) Have 5-10+ years of experience and can answer fairly difficult questions from experienced developers 4) Can make a class fun and engaging.

Our day rate is $1500.

Please email me your resume/linkedin/github + blurb about your teaching experience if this interests you kyle@DevelopIntelligence.com
Not using OSX, but I have some ideas.

An app tells an OS it gonna use OpenGL to 3D render stuff. Generally, the OS doesn’t know whether it’s a competitive 3D shooter where each FPS really matters, or a web browser which only uses OpenGL to render a few textured quads. If the OS will default to slower integrated GPU, users will be unhappy, they want 3D performance. So the OSes typically power up the faster GPU in such cases.

On dual-GPU Windows laptop, nVidia partially solves this in their drivers, they have very long list of process names saying which ones are games or other 3D intense apps.

It usually works but very far from being 100% reliable. It requires GPU drivers to be updated regularly. For cases when it fails even with latest drivers, they have multiple methods for user to select the GPU. They implemented context menu on .exe files “Run with graphic processor” with 2 further options, for nVidia and Intel GPUs. They implemented GUI for users to customize that apps list. They also implemented a proprietary API for programmers to customize that list in code, I’m using this method in the installer of a CAD/CAM app I’ve developed.

These things cause quite a lot of complexity, both software bloat, and UI clutter. Traditionally, Apple wants the GUI to be clean. AFAIK they don’t push driver updates, and they avoid UI clutter even if it means some power users won’t get some advanced settings they might like.
> How much of a performance improvement does this make?

For a user with an SSD, perhaps not much. But there are still a lot of users out there with magnetic hard drives. Firefox has to do a decent amount of I/O at startup, and unneeded disk seeks add up for these users.

In addition, Firefox formerly checked for these files on the main thread, which is especially bad for performance. (Firefox engineer Mike Conley wrote about this at length at https://mikeconley.ca/blog/2019/05/16/a-few-words-on-main-th...)

If you read through the related bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1541233), you can see that folks went to some trouble to keep anything from breaking for people using these files today. The claims that this is a step toward removing the files completely is FUD.
> I'm not familiar with the Enterprise WPA2 stuff.

WPA2 Enterprise doesn't use a preshared key, instead relying on something like RADIUS Authentication to validate usernames/passwords and then providing a custom key.

If you uses your Active Directory credentials to login to corporate WiFi then you're using WPA2 Enterprise.

I'm not an enthusiast, but I agree with out in general.

I have maybe a 2014 version of the Apple keyboard (wired/numpad) at the office and I love using it. I can work long hours, not feel fatigue, it's never failed, etc etc.

I also use a Logitech K840 at home: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/k840-mechanical-corde...

And it suits me just fine. Also a pleasure to work on. Though I'm not a switch purist, either. And I'm a sucker for the aluminum... (mainly because I'm likely to drop something on it, or drop the keyboard itself at some point) it's solid for a decent price. I think I even waited to get it on sale.

Beacon Biosignals | Lead Front-End Engineer | Boston, MA | Onsite Available, Remote Friendly | Full Time

About us:

Despite its significant potential for improving patient outcomes, brain monitoring is still not easily accessible or interpretable in clinical settings. We're going to fix that, and we'd like you to help.

We're a stealth-mode startup founded by numerical programmers, neuroscientists, and practicing neurologists who are committed to translating our best-of-breed clinical research from the lab into the ICU and ED. We're well-funded, well-connected, and own a well-labeled set of brain data amassed over the past decade at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world. This dataset is, as far as we know, the largest of its kind in existence. We intend to put it to good use.

Our team is composed of open-source enthusiasts, former audio/DSP engineers, programming language nerds, and generally easy-going, fun-loving, dedicated folks.

About you:

- You know that product development goes off the rails without rapid, early feedback from real users.

- You believe that honesty and frequent, open communication are more signficant contributors to software development than technical wizardy.

- You believe that "looks great" does not necessarily equal "feels great", and that the latter is higher priority (but your favorite applications accomplish both!).

- You want to build tools that help people help others in critical environments.

- You feel that diversity is an integral part of strong engineering culture. Differing viewpoints are borne from differing backgrounds, and lack of diversity contributes to stagnation.

- You're annoyed that modern websites ship megabytes of unnecessary dependencies to user's browsers. You're painfully aware of the difference between "DRY" as an important guiding principle of software development, and "DRY" as a cargo-cult mentality used to justify lazy over-coupling of code.

- You simultaneously hate and love Javascript, and are excited about various LLVM-based languages' recent progress targeting WebAssembly.

- You nerd out about content-specific adaptive streaming and compression techniques.

- You think Observable notebooks are really cool.

- You have a battle-tested workflow for debugging performance issues and deciding which layer of the stack merits optimization.

- From a front-end perspective, you recognize the tension in the development feedback loop between client-side software and a back-end service ecosystem, and derive immense satisfaction from improving development processes to relieve those tensions.

- You're intimately familiar with the lifecycle of software components - from experiment, to prototype, to an incremental release schedule.

- You sigh at bullet-pointed job descriptions that try to prescribe visceral emotional reactions to technical opinions.

Our data science team makes heavy use of the Julia language, and are still experimenting with various parts of our tech stack. Come help us make the right decisions!

Contact jarrett@beacon.bio if interested.

> Our starlink team last exchanged an email with the Aeolus operations team on August 28, when the probability of a collision was only in the 2.2e-5 range (or 1 in 50k), well below the 1e-4 (or 1 in 10k) industry standard threshold and 75 time slower than the final estimate. At that point, both SpaceX and ESA determined a maneuver was not necessary. Then, the U.S. Air Force's updates showed the probability increased to 1.69e-3 (or more than 1 in 10k) but a bug in our on-call paging system prevented the Starlink operator from seeing the follow on correspondence on this probability increase - SpaceX is still investigating the issue and will implement corrective actions. However, had the Starlink operator seen the correspondence, we would have coordinated with ESA to determine best approach with their continuing with their maneuver or our performing a maneuver."
