How exactly CUDA is "democratizing" anything, if it's tied to Nvidia? Vulkan backend would make more sense for that purpose.
This is much ado about nothing. The people (and apps) who are impacted are the ones who waited until beyond the last minute to adopt Gatekeeper & Notarization. Apple has been banging this drum for quite a while.

I'm referring to the situation at hand: going remote and finding oneself isolated and depressed. That is, one felt socialized enough in the office but now that they're remote they're isolated and finding the "being remote" as the cause. This clearly means that the core source of socialization (and therefore non-isolation) is that the social group was at the office.

People who can develop relationships in a variety of contexts don't feel alone and depressed when remote. There may be other issues; time zone problems, being left out of the loop at work etc., from companies that are not well set up for it. But those are not the issues at hand.
I'm not very convinced. Yes the smartphone has eliminated the need for some of those devices, but there is now a rich market for accessories:

Wireless chargers, cables, battery backups, expensive phone cases, cheap phone cases, selfie sticks, phone lighting accessories, lenses. Plus smartphones create an entire economy of their own in terms of apps.
Relative rankings serve more as PR tools for the brands themselves than anything else. Pollution matters in absolute numbers. It's only fair the company that sells the most plastic to also be held accountable for the most plastic waste.

E.g. Coca-Cola could claim to have reduced their use in plastic in 25% and still be the most polluting brand.

It's a bit of a tricky question because you can have a beautiful snippet entangled in a mess of a codebase.

I think a much better question would be most beautifully structured codebase.

Code, as a snippet, or line, is constantly struggling between poetic conciseness and verbose clarity... To which I will always pick clarity (for "the next guy"), hence not necessarily elegant.
Because Nvidia likes lock-in. It totally doesn't have to. Today we have Vulkan for general purpose GPU programming.
It doesn't perform better than what you can do in Vulkan. It's simply more entrenched.

Why would you have to provide benefits just because someone is full time? Vast majority of food service places aren’t huge operations. Whatever regulation rules force benefits for employees certainly don’t apply to a restaurant with 1 or 2 dozen total employees.

Here you seem to know businesses will do what they want if they can get away with it when it comes to employment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21308309. In that example you’d probably agree benefits don’t need to suddenly happen if a business can get away with it.
I wish something similar was available for floods.
I sometimes say that car drivers are the most entitled class I have met, and your response here is a classic example of what I mean by that. Any attempt to take a millimeter of space away from cars is an unacceptable war on cars; any attempt to improve the transportation experience for other modes of transportation of cars is a waste of money (or worse); any attempt to actually make drivers pay their way [1] is an unacceptable tax. And should there ever be a collision between a car and anything other than a car, it can never be the driver's fault (that is what disgusts me the most).

At the end of the day, your arguments are not persuasive, because all you're really complaining about is that the transportation priority doesn't resolve around you. You're couching it as sympathy for the poor, but it's not the poor you're trying to help, it's the middle class who don't want to face the trade-offs of how to allocate space with far more demand than supply. The poor can't afford the car in the first place.

[1] Fuel taxes are far from sufficient for paying for the cost of roads. Note that, at the federal level, they haven't budged since the 90s, despite inflation and massive improvements in fuel economy. The Highway Trust Fund has been dependent on general fund transfers for well over a decade.

Yeah. 30% is pretty high to give.
I just read your comment history. I'm sorry I gave you any benefit of the doubt.
I don't know -- if service at a place is bad, you just end up not going there eventually -- you still can be heard without having tipping as a mechanism to do it. I don't mind that the price is higher and everyone gets a proper wage without having to worry about the variability of tipping.
I generally agree with the idea. I just don't know how we help people actually do that.

In reality, the big companies seem to dominate and crowd out the smaller players and we generally seem to be doing a poor job of counterbalancing that. I think this is a substantial source of our current problems where we have serious income inequality, phrases like The 99 Percent became popular, at least for a time, etc.

This is exactly what I would like to do and would like to help others do. I've not managed to hit the kind of numbers that would provide a middle class lifestyle.

I'm not advocating for anything, I am describing what already happens and why it is pragmatic. Look, in a perfect world, maybe there would be a police officer ready to spend all day scouring the flea markets for my stolen bike, the second I ask, but we don't live in that world. There are a finite number of police officers and, unless the stolen object is very valuable or the investigation will be quick, they have better things to do.

For example, they have reduced the murder rate in East Palo Alto (right next to Facebook campus) by over 97%. That is far more important than anything discussed in this thread.
> It's only fair the company that sells the most plastic to also be held accountable for the most plastic waste.

What would you suggest they do to reduce the amount of waste?

If the products are sold in plastic bottles, there are severe limits to what the control the company has once the product is in the hands of the consumers.

If we're talking about government regulations, why is that company to be held accountable for those regulations?

Your second paragraph doesn’t have to do with your first. Your second is asking if people want to get more for less. That would be true in many other examples too.

I’d be curious about the first assumption. I also assumed what OP did. Tipping is annoying for me. I’d rather it just be included everywhere. I don’t like having to think about tipping. I feel like youtube comments are the sort of place I’d see a lot of people think they would actually save 20% from no tipping being a universal thing.

The system is great right now if you want to save money. If you’re not going to a place again in the next year. Tipping will not benefit or hurt you in any way since you’re skipping the tip at the end. And if you don’t care about the server’s financial well being, then this won’t matter to you.

> This is precisely the problem which the player of Betrayal at Krondor can all too easily run into. Not only does the game allow you to ignore the urgent call of its plot, but it actually forces you to do so in order to be successful. If you take the impetus of the story seriously and rush to fulfill your tasks in the early chapters, you won’t build up your characters sufficiently to survive the later ones.

I finally have my answer. As a kid, I really enjoyed this game, but never understood why I would always get stuck partway through, with seemingly impossible paths. Having played many point-and-click games as well as much civilization, I assumed there was some puzzle I was missing (I was pretty sure I had explored all the tactical ones). Turned out I needed to _restart the game and ignore the objectives_

This hasn't been my experience. You just need something worthwhile to do. I love to surf and play traditional Irish music.

I think it's a problem to always point at consumers behavior regarding waste. It's shifting the blame. Why are the companies selling their products not accountable for the lifetime of their products? Coca-Cola would have to spend money de-cluttering beaches, oceans, etc. or maybe spend in R&D to find alternatives. Probably the price of a bottle of Coke would increase. Big deal.
Only thing significant I ever read from Pando was the Tor article:

https://pando.com/2014/07/16/tor-spooks/

A larger number of people than before learned it was mainly funded by U.S. government groups of the sort paranoids might worry about. They do it to help both our cops/spies and foreign dissidents in governments the U.S. targets. Then, other groups in U.S. government are opposed to it since it conceals the threats to us (Four Horsemen of the Infacalypse) or just them (i.e. whistleblowers). "Left hand, right hand" thing on top of Pando's drama-inducing presentation typical of media outlets.

Tor supporters' reactions to it were even more interesting than the article, though. It was quite a test of both their honesty and public relations.
And I believe even the pro trackers lost it at least once, until it was rediscovered by accident. Which adds intrigue.

Not counting foreign intelligence, obviously.
I agree, it's definitely not a market with tons of competition. But I think the amount of information available to the consumer is adequate. It just takes skill to understand. Most people don't desire to understand it and will just call some hotline to find out what they owe. If you want to make money of that industry, you will be competing with the brokers who by law receive 4% of the premiums paid monthly in the bigger states

Elsewhere on this thread I'm being told by the asme poster than we need more policing of theft -- apparently, having less policing of theft in poor communities is the problem, because that means the rich get better police service.

This is the thing I can never understand in these debates: I never have the slightest clue whether the people I'm talking with want more policing or less. It seems to switch every few minutes.

I find a lot of books on subjects I'm interested in are quite dry. Is this a departure from that? I'd like something I'd enjoy, and something I can buy as a gift for some family members who enjoy nonfiction on topics they aren't necessarily versed in.
The key part to me:

"""Here’s an important thing to know. Whenever you read one of those books about programming methodologies written by a full time software development guru/consultant, you can rest assured that they are talking about internal, corporate software development. Not shrinkwrapped software, not embedded software, and certainly not games.
...

Last week Kent Beck made a claim that you don’t really need bug tracking databases when you’re doing Extreme Programming, because the combination of pair programming (with persistent code review) and test driven development (guaranteeing 100% code coverage of the automated tests) means you hardly ever have bugs. [But this doesn't apply to our shrinkwrapped product. Our shrinkwrapped product has to be robust to a variety of environments and use-cases whereas software for corporate environments doesn't.]
....

Kent is right, for other types of development. For most corporate development applications, none of these things would be considered a bug."""

EDIT: I don't often see context like this brought up in discussions. But at the same time, I think principles like "shorter iteration cycles are a good thing" can loosely be applied in different cases, even if not quite in the same way for different 'worlds'.
> Why are the companies selling their products not accountable for the lifetime of their products?

This gets back to my original point: why are they to blame for it? I'm willing to hear an argument for why they are, but neither the original article nor your comment provides one.

As far as I understand things, the majority of plastic pollution comes from poor waste management practices. With good waste management practices, there aren't any issues with plastic pollution. If this is true, then why should the companies who make the products be at fault? The waste management practices are the responsibility of parties such as governments.

What's really interesting is how long 6502 variants lasted. They mentioned the NES, but the SNES also used a 16 bit variant similar to what the Apple IIgs used.

Starting in 1995 Nintendo included the SA1 chip in some cartridges, which was a 6502 variant running at a little over 10Mhz.

I actually think that Nintendo could have come out with a SNES Pro CD system in the mid 90s by including SA1 and SuperFX2 chips and having 4MB of RAM.

CD based systems with sprite & tile based hardware seem to have all failed due to lack of RAM. Just too memory hungry, especially once you start increasing the number of colours. The Neo Geo hardware (Motorola 68k & Z80) was able to produce hits after 2000 by using giant, expensive, cartridges.

They could have kept a 6502 based system going as a budget system (keeping the N64 as their "cadilac" system) until 2000.

I'm getting very confused with all of your comments. Do you want more policing of theft in poor communities, such as East Palo Alto, or less? I currently live in the rich part of Menlo Park (thank god for subsidized housing). Do you think there should be more policing of bike theft there, or less?

At some point, I thought your point was that more policing in poor communities was bad, because disparate impact on them is the problem. But later you seem to be saying that more policing in rich communities is the problem, because they get better service. And now you seem to be saying that actually, there isn't enough policing in my (rich) community. From my perspective your position has flipped three times.
I live in a condo complex with a dog and no lawn. We learned after getting our dog that this place doesn’t want dogs going to the bathroom on any of the common area (makes sense but annoying to dog owners). We used to get a small patch of grass delivered every week but it was a hassle to swap each time. Also it was disgusting by the end of the week. Then I discovered porch potty. Got the version that is hooked up with a sprinkler system and a drain. Set up an auto timer so it gets completely flushed every night. Saves us a bunch of money and time. Highly recommend. https://www.porchpotty.com/
