120VAC LED lamps will just rectify that 120V to DC and then use a power supply to drop it to around 30V.

In other words, a 120VAC LED should work just fine on 48VDC with the same output.

It’s also explains why they don’t dim.

I have two HP laptops running Linux -- my work laptop is running Manjaro with i3, and the other is Linux Mint with MATE. I absolutely love these two machines, neither have any compatibility problems with Linux.

No experience with Fedora, but of the other distributions that I have tried (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, CentOS...), Mint is my suggestion for beginners. Now though I like Manjaro for its rolling releases of the newest software.

But right now you have county level voting data, many red places weren't THAT red, just a few percentage points away from blue, but far enough red to ensure the whole state would be predictably red.

I am starting with this angle because the coastal elites live on the coasts which are blue, and we are assuming they want blue.

The numbers probably arent that high and if you also imagine that there is some herd immunity to adding more blue ideology people in, then you might get more to flip as well.

I’ve been wondering if blue people moved to those places would see different needs of the people there and begin voting red. They came for their civil rights causes that they have been assuming republicans consciously think about and choose to undermine, but notice something completely different.

I was thinking about how this (and other "physical sorts" mentioned by commenters) sorts instantly by using a physical property of the members, and I began to consider what the computer equivalent would be of "physical sorting".

I think you could take the sort values, use them as memory addresses (or array offsets), and write the original index of each value into its corresponding pointer, then go back and iterate through that entire chunk of memory to find each of them. That might technically be linear time? Really N + M, where N is the number of values and M is their full range. It would have hilariously inefficient usage of memory and a pretty low cap on the range of possible sort values, but still.

737's with smaller engines have very close to neutral pitch stability when at high AOA and high thrust. It takes 5ever to get back to trim speed. 737 MAX is even worse; depending on CG it can be divergent.

Gesticulating about stick forces and "handling" is obfuscation and misses the point. Yes, that's fucked up, too. The descriptions of allowing you to pull "harder" assume you're not trimmed for the climb and are holding a constant pull, which uh, some crews do, but autopilot won't (it'll trim off those forces), and lazy crews with weak arms like me won't either. :P
Yes that’s an interesting point, the “fragment” terminology can be confusing at first. But I think of fragments as something slightly different. “Fragment” means basically pixel or subpixel geometry, it’s output from the rasterizer. The fragment shader is what takes a fragment as input and then outputs the pixel or subpixel color. Fragments aren’t necessarily involved in GPU antialiasing, you can have subpixels in OpenGL without fragments, if you’re doing image processing without rasterizing. In any case, it’s a good thing that they picked a different word to define, and didn’t just call it “subpixel”, right?
I did. I would need a lawyer to better understand what exactly we can extract from those denials, but this is what I can say for sure: all 3 of those companies would be extremely damaged by the public thinking this story is true. AWS considers security to be its single most important job and if the public discourse were to become cloud=supply-chain vulnerability, it would be devastating. This is clearly an existential threat to SuperMicro. I can't say as much about Apple, but from the outside it looks like they believe security/privacy to be one of their core brand strengths. Whether the article is true or false, I would fully expect these companies to minimize the impact of this article to the full extent they are legally able.

I would need a legal opinion to understand if their denials would put them at legal risk were the article to be true (in which case I would be much more inclined to believe their denials) and whether their denials tell us anything about potential government gag orders (if the article is correct about a top-secret investigation, I would imagine they would have legal obligations around what they can say).

I don't want to use false equivalence to make it seem like I believe this article is as likely to be true as not (I think it's unlikely or at least extremely misleading), but everything I can see from my not-so-informed position is consistent with both a true and a false article.

Put another way: the cost of operations isn't factored into the sales price. The builders don't have exposure to how much the buyer will pay to heat the home, so there's no reason to do extra work to insulate or seal better.

There are starting to be home efficiency standards that are being considered in the real estate markets (things like LEED certification for homes), but you're right, people are more likely to buy based on the look of the kitchen than the winter heating bill.

I've been trying to think if there's a financialization play possible... something like monetizing the downstream efficiency savings to incentivize the upfront work. The solar PPA model has been the solar company's monthly bill becomes your new electricity bill, and (ideally) paying off the solar installation monthly over 20 years was still cheaper than paying for non-solar electricity during that time. I've been wondering if something similar can be done for home efficiency upgrades.

I've been doing business in China for over 20 years as an Asia Pacific leader in cyber consulting. HQ in the US always pushed hard to take market share in China. These execs are like deers blinded by headlights. The actual market in China for foreign companies is miniscule. In my experience and anecdotally from all my peers in non cyber firms, China is a huge time, money, energy time sink and ethical / compliance minefield. Although we did succeed with very large deal with a GSIB Bank the project ended up being negative margin due to outrageous complications. On several occasions I had to pull consultants off client site due to verbal abuse and profanity from the client. In another instance I was literally offered to win a client deal if a certain red Porsche was magically delivered in his wives name. It's the wild wild East.

In my line of software work, I needed variable-precision integers (think uint5_t, uint13_t, etc) to express details of the architecture cleanly and avoid lots of manual bit-masking, which naturally meant having to use templates.

I found that it didn't really hurt compile times much (500KLOC compiles in about 40 seconds with make -j on a 16-core box), and performance is just barely impacted at -O2, but it definitely destroys debug build performance completely and makes a mess of code profiling and backtrace debugging output.

There are also all kinds of subtle gotchas: you can make "x ? y : z" work when y and z are different primitive types, but not if one is a template. You cannot make them work with printf("%d", x) directly (it compiles fine and then you run into problems), etc.

Trying to enforce stronger type checking (not allowing the implicit mixing of signed and unsigned, etc) introduces endless worlds of pain and ambiguous operator overload problems.

Trying to make eg "x++" or "x+y" return another template instance instead of a primitive type similarly causes a world of pain everywhere.

I still feel it was 100% worth it in my case, but it has many pitfalls. Taking it even further to bounding to specific ranges as this library aims to do feels even more fraught with danger. I do not envy the work of its authors.

He is right though – new tech nearly always disappears.

Example: Learning CoffeeScript was a total waste of time. Learning JQuery helped me for a few years, but now JQuery is basically useless to me.

Based on past experience, I strongly suspect the same will happen with React, Rust and a bunch of other new exciting tech. There are countless examples besides the ones I mentioned.

But on the other hand, the time I put into mastering SQL or Unix will probably continue benefiting me for the rest of my career. Even C will continue to benefit me, even though it'll only ever be a small part of my job.

I think pulling a gender lever means the ad targeting is just incredibly crappy. Let people identify what career they want jobs in, and target by that. Targeting ads towards age is no different than showing up at a university career fair. It's more efficient to target age groups that change jobs more frequently. Old people can put on their big boy pants and use LinkedIn.

Be that as it may, if I were a hiring manager today whose bonus and promo opportunities depend on meeting the diversity quota, you can guess how I'd be setting up the targeting on my hiring ad campaign, ethics be damned.

That having been said, I fully agree that such targeting in job ads in particular should be illegal. I agree with this out of my own rational self interest, as a straight white male in my 40s. Other aforementioned types of gender, racial, and age discrimination should be made illegal as well.
More of a tradition. China is clearly a free market economy in most important ways. Though with an amoral state calling all the important shots.

They have to keep calling the system "Communist" because that is tradition. That's all.
I understand the reason some people are upset with this, but one issue I find interesting is that this is exactly how 'fair' advertising works, but implicitly.

For instance if I advertise a position in, as some random example, Popular Mechanics, I'm going to get an extremely biased sample. And I'm putting my position there specifically because I want to appeal to that demographic. This is also why, for instance, in times past if you stayed at home and watched broadcast television there would be a disproportionate number of ads for things such as tampons, diapers (adult and child alike), and job injury lawyers. It was targeting the demographic watching television at that time.

Perhaps one fair solution here would be an opt-in demographic profile override. What a mouth full. What I mean is that if you want, you can require Facebook to set your demographics to whatever you like. In other words, imagine you're a woman and you want to be shown ads targeting men, well you can opt-in to require your account profile to be a hit for man or woman.

The curious thing is that I imagine almost nobody would actually choose to opt-in there. It'd probably be more used as a protest tool to destroy the value of advertising (by large numbers of people opting into everything), than a tool to get more ads you're interested in. Can't say I'm particularly upset by that outcome though.
Did you read this part:

> bounded::integer uses built-in integers as the template parameter to determine its bounds. This means that it cannot store an integer larger than ...

They say the limitation arises from using "built-in integers" as template parameters. It is reasonable to assume "built-in integer" means "int". It is more a stretch to assume "built-in integer" means any number of types depending on the evaluation of several ifdefs [which is what I found in the source].

There is nothing about a "use case" relevant to any of that quoted statement, so I find your reply very confusing too.
Excellent post.

A lot of this rings true to my experiences as well, particularly being defensive about time and commitments. Really, most of the authors points had me kind of nodding along.

On the other hand, I somewhat feel what the author is getting at with optimism, but I'm not sure optimism is the right word for what makes me productive. It's difficult to put into words, but I do agree there is a kind of strange attitude adjustment that has to happen.

You need to reach a point where you decide you're going to do something, regardless of what problems come up, or how long it takes. There are problems in my own projects that I know I'll need to solve, and I don't currently know the solutions, but I know I'll come up with solutions for them, and whatever I need to do to pragmatically solve them will just need to happen. It's less about me feeling confident in myself, and more just saying, "well, I care about the outcome, and I don't care what I need to figure out in order to get there." I know I'll put in the time, or find the resources, or learn, or give up whatever I need to give up to make it happen.

I don't know if I'd call that optimism though. It almost feels a bit more like stubbornness, or defiance. It's not just an assumption that things are going to work out.

Yes, already was pretty anxiety-ridden about the non-action I've seen from the biggest economy in the world, and after reading the paper Deep Adaptation: A Map for Navigating Climate Tragedy[0] by Jem Bendell, can say I'm much less thrilled about our chances, especially if the denial is still there as "the science has always been wrong in predicting the end, because we are still here..."

Sounds to me like some sort of hot hand fallacy with the chips being billions of lives. Problem is coming too fast, with too much at stake, for the powers that be to still act as if we have all the time in the world to do something about it. But people still believing there is a way to reverse course may keep this twisted musical chairs we are playing, going for a little bit longer.

But is text rendering "inherently leaky"? Or more leaky than large scale accounting data or etc?

At that rate, it seems like just about any messy, multilevel problem can be taken as inherently leaky and not something design paradigms can make easier. Maybe the solution is, "there is no solution" but as an optimist, it's hard for me to accept that.

(And yeah, I should have said "design paradigm", not programming paradigm).
