I am assuming you mean Python. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, where might I look for a Python drawing app code base I might have some hope of playing with? Does it need to be FOSS?

Also thank you very much for this comment.

For me, the biggest limiting factor is not really skill, but cost. I can theoretically do all of these things, but the cost tends to be prohibitive and the risk too high. 2-layer boards are the best and 4-layer boards are my limit because going any higher just goes way outside the price I can justify putting into hobby projects that may not pan out. 2-layer boards you can sometimes get on sale dirt cheap (ignoring shipping...), and the mark-up when going from 2-layer to 4-layer tends to be at least 2x, and for most places I've looked at more like 4x or higher.

The same thing goes for small surface mount stuff. Ex. I was looking at using a TSSOP package for a project, but I just couldn't justify the cost of ~10$ a chip when I was unsure I could even solder it. Even for my last project, I messed up a few boards because I had trouble soldering the leads for the Micro-USB connector on it.

On the topic of 0402's, I agree I could probably solder them with enough patience - though that goes back to the risk issue, if I can't then I blew a bunch of money on boards I can't put together. For my projects, I thankfully haven't yet run into a situation where I needed to go that scale, so the lowest I've gone are 0805's, which are nice and chunky.

And to be fair, I don't really know what qualifies as "professional level", I'm mostly thinking of things like computer motherboards, phones, smart watches, etc. Tons of things have PCBs in them that don't require that level of detail, and I don't know the percentages of people doing each - perhaps there is a decently sized professional market for a tool that can do smaller boards with less layers/complexity much smoother.
I really like the methodology in this blog post. It's creative and low-tech, easy to replicate, and came to interesting, important conclusions.

Modern C++, since there is no 'runtime' (and don't say linked in functions are a 'runtime'). If you have an example of where you think this breaks down I'll be happy to come up with a solution.
If you find yourself wrestling with this in the future, you might try experimenting with Yocto's SDK generation capabilities. Most image recipes have a 'populate_sdk' task that will generate a self-extracting shell script that includes a full cross-compilation toolchain and a set of libraries for the target. You can also add custom components to the SDK very easily.

Our CI system generates the SDK along with every build of our Yocto image. Another CI job grabs the SDK and uses it for some out-of-tree compilation work. It's very straightforward to automate that way.
If you're using less than 1% of the physical RAM in the server, and 30% of your CPU on GC, you might be optimizing for the wrong thing.
> An actual 'A la carte' situation is that of the consumer being able to actually handpick the shows they want and only pay for those. This will never happen due to the industry being absolutely hostile to the idea...

We've been able to do this with a substantial number of shows for years, though, by buying individual episodes or "season passes" on Amazon and iTunes. Maybe people just don't know, maybe people think the prices are too high, but more than likely the market has just largely moved on from this model for much the same reason that it moved on from CDs: the rise of streaming. (But put a pin in that for a second...)

> ...second best from a consumer standpoint is a single huge distributor like Netflix where you would pay larger fee but have access to practically everything you want...

This is what we all want price-wise, but would we really, truly want to turn Netflix into the equivalent of the iOS App Store for essentially all legal streaming movies and television?

Everyone blames the proliferation of streaming services on rapacious greed, and, I mean, sure, the profit motive is mighty. But it's also a matter of keeping control. Broadcast networks and cable companies are middlemen who not only take a cut of the profit but who also act as gatekeepers; it's a little mad to think that producers would want to free themselves from that system only to rebuild it with a single all-powerful company in the command seat.

Sure, not all the streaming services will survive, especially at the prices Netflix is currently charging. But I'm not convinced that the world is really going to rise up and rebel against having to pay $50 or $60 a month total to a half-dozen providers for commercial-free, on-demand access to hundreds of thousand of shows versus paying $100+ a month to a single provider.
A la carte TV/Movies have existed for longer than Netflix has been streaming. Google Play, Apple TV, Sony PlayStation store and Microsoft Xbox store all sell seasons and/or episodes and/or full movies. And you can often rent movies for cheaper.

Overall, consumers preferred the subscriptions. They’re a better deal if you watch more than 5-10 hours a month.

Though there are some things you can only purchase a la carte.

What an utterly strange proclamation. On every level: the notion that speech should not be free, the notion that users cannot be trusted to figure out what the project is about if it's not "clearly marked" in this way, the notion that there is some harm that can be done by such a "religious project" or a "religious word," whatever that even means.

There... is an iTunes for movies. I mean, I own hundreds of iTunes movies, some of which I purchased 13 years ago. Microsoft, Google, and Sony all have equivalents.
I think there are several factors.

a) based on the 3900, the supply will be coming in the next few months, and the price is right, once that happens.

b) pricing it higher now and dropping the price in 3 months looks bad

c) the pricing has to line up sensible against other chips in the marketplace, both Intel's and also AMD's other chips (including last generation). For many people, they may be willing to wait to get a 3950 at today's MSRP, but would opt for something else if the MSRP was $100 more, and that something else might be an Intel chip.

d) it can be hard to know how much demand is really there --- AMD had to order production several months ago, and their pre-launch planning included an assumption that Intel was going to launch something notable in 2019, which didn't happen.

Once individual consumers hit "peak data" consumable, which despite all the hoopla about phones/IoT devices everywhere streaming in 8k 24x7, has probably already happened (upper limit being the brains input bandwidth), there is no great reason for anyone to invest in ISP's esp looking forward 10-20 years. Kind of like Walmart or Amazon thinking they need to buy highways to keep their addicts supplied.

Language communicates many things. Correct usage of apostrophes or who/whom is like metadata in your writing that communicates “I am at least educated enough to have been in fourth grade, and at least intelligent enough to have retained some pretty basic rules since then, and at least careful enough to give a damn”. It’s a weak signal, but it’s a signal nonetheless, and people aren’t going to give it up.
A lot of people are already betting big on AMD since before the release of zen2 so it may be overpriced. It's anyone's guess, not every investor will agree. Some holding it may just say yes because they want a bubble to sell out of. Look at price to earnings and all that and consider that sentiment is high right now.
This kind of seems like a national security concern, which the US government would want to block the acquisition. Given it's US company that has access to a ton on US traffic it's certainly reasonable that a state actor would want all that data.

> But the trajectory suggests that you'll need to sub with Amazon, Netflix, HBO, Disney, etc. if you want the full range of streaming TV. You're going to have to start micromanaging that if you don't want to throw your money down the drain.

I expect someone will make a site or app or service for managing this, which lets you maintain a "want to watch" list with optional priorities.

For each streaming service, the app would tell you which if the items you want are on that service, and how many total hours of content that is. You can use this to help decide which, if any, streaming services you should subscribe to for each month.

I have no idea where one would get the data for such an app, but this site [1] seems to have it, so I infer that it is possible to get it. They have a paid API, so maybe they could even be used as the data source.

Yup, I got rid of Netflix because they often didn't have what I wanted to watch, and only have Amazon Prime Video because I don't pay any extra for it with my Prime subscriptions. Not to mention that not every streaming service is available in Canada. If I have to worry about where to find the show I want to watch or whether it is available in my country, then I may as well just go straight to a source that I know will have it.

They effectively did exactly what you’re implying by letting the heap grow more in exchange for lower GC CPU usage.
I mean, when it works it will work. When it fails ... you'll be depending on the protection circuitry in your laptop. If it goes catastrophic/worst-case, your laptop might be exposed to mains power.
It's intentional. UNIX was like Multics, but without some bits. It was originally spelled Unics and was probably named that by Brian Kernighan. This is why UNIX is not an acronym for anything.
I'm not sure what point you're making here? In hindsight, he views his words as inappropriate. I'm not sure I understand what the temporal distance between the words and the apology has to do with how appropriate they were.
It's hacky but also simple to implement. Should the go gc improve to the point that it's unnecessary, it seems simple to remove as well. Wouldn't bother me much.
I know people that moved from prescription opioids to street opioids. The jump from treating pain to addiction/simply enjoying the high is surprisingly small.

PS: That’s not to say it’s purely the drug companies issue. While recovering from surgery in the hospital and on an clicker IV drip I had a doctor suggest I try ‘upping my dose’ for the fun of it.
They've been binning these chips for months maybe even a year at this point. The binned CCDs used in the 3950X are also used in Epyc. I'm sure server has a higher priority over DIY.
This logic is only valid if you assume Apple cares a lot about their users getting the best search results. I don't think this is the case.

Instead, Apple has a thing to sell -- "position of default search engine" -- and it is selling it to highest bidder.

I bet if Bing would offer 10 Billion, they'd make Bing default instead. Hey, if DDG could offer them 10 Billion, I am sure they would set it as default, easily ignoring the fact that many people say they do not like its results.
The three worst premiers actually did something smart. It’s mind boggling.
I wouldn't so casually dismiss BCS theory. BCS contains one of only a few exactly solvable wave functions. It's used in everything from superconductivity to neutron stars. Actually, anytime there is a fermi sea instability BCS is a good starting framework. It's an triumph of modern physics.
For as long as the ultrabook design remains popular (and it shows no signs of waning), the high-end CPU options will be riding the edge of their thermal limits during sustained use. OEMs aren't going to suddenly start over-building their cooling solutions just to help out marginally with a niche use case. As long as we don't get back to the problems from a decade ago with dying mobile GPUs, there's not really anything wrong with having CPUs that boost up to the thermal limits of the system form factor.

If someone comes out with a laptop CPU that can't boost up to those thermal limits, it means the chip's undersized and that vendor will probably need a different microarchitecture for the desktop or server markets.
After well into getting programming, I finally started appreciating the phrase "programming is like math" - part of it was me learning more about programming and computer science, but most of it was because I realized that what we call "math" isn't all of math, and there's a wealth of interesting computational topics in math that doesn't fit the standard school curriculum thing.

Maybe it's just semantics, but I think our common perception of math is too narrow.

This is exactly what's happened in Australia. Over-the-counter opioids (codeine, primarily) were banned last year. People were destroying their livers and stomachs due to overdosing on the adulterants (paracetomol/acetaminophen and ibuprofen) that were specifically put in to stop people taking them in bulk.

Now ordinary people with ordinary aches and pains can't get effective painkillers without visiting a doctor (or a quick trip to NZ where they're still available).

No, it can imply divorce, but it does not specify; it is ambiguous. You are assigning explicit communication where there is none, objectively.

The listener's assumptions (or lack thereof), which happen after the speaker speaks, cannot retroactively cause the statement to be or not be a lie.
Great one, I must say I have laughed quite hard at solution, it is logical and simple. Good work.

What does annoy me is that GC languages doesnt provide option of allocations that are not handled by GC but still uses language primitives and/or privide option to deallocate them manually. Dev. could decide should they leave alocation to GC or handle them on their own. I would certanly love it, in most programs that I write I know exactly what the lifetime of objects is and I am leaving them to the GC just due to missing any other option.
So when you throw an exception in C++, and the stack is being unwound, it is not being unwound by your C++ runtime? And the C++ standard library, specified in the same standard as the language, that you have, that has code present at runtime, is not part of the runtime?

Someone should let Microsoft know they need to rename their “C++ Runtime Library” package.
A lot of people are trying to explore modern ML methods in physics, but they’ve so far had limited success at least in terms of interesting theoretical results. One glaring problem is that ML methods tend to be black boxes, so even if someone solved all of condensed matter physics with some super neural network, the question would remain “how and why was this able to work?” “What is going on physically?” which is what physicists tend to actually care about more than being able to make a prediction.

Believe me though, people are trying.

> Only if the “green energy” people actually had that much power...

> In reality there are 2 forces that have stopped nuclear. NIMBYism. And terrible economics.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

It was the "green energy" people who first fought nuclear power. Go look throughout the country where nuke plants have been taken down. It's because they were leaking and polluting and were ticking time bombs.

The greens have been fighting against nuclear power since day one.

There is an underground current of manipulation in online conversations trying to make nuclear power look green. It has only one element of green, that is low carbon, everything else about it is the absolute worst of all power sources.

I hope to never see anything but fusion nuclear power come back, and all fission power fade away.
Thank you for the explanation, that makes more sense.

How is overall utility measured in cases of intangible goods like TV shows and movies? I think I understand what surplus means in the context of industrial/agricultural production or simple services like hair cuts or deliveries but what about media? The success of movies or TV shows can't be quantified with an objective measurement like length or CGI per square inch or Rotten Tomato points, only by the profit they generate - which seems to only get more circular and complicated with Hollywood accounting.

There are certainly more shows available to watch today, "interesting" or not, because the market for entertainment has grown massively but it seems to me they only have higher technical quality because human attention is zero sum and they've hit diminishing returns on their capital (which I don't think is all that different from most other industries).

Launch pricing is often more about PR than short-term supply and demand, especially for high-end flagship products. You don't want to establish a product's reputation as overpriced if you expect to be able to drop prices in a few weeks or months.

Having an initial shortage can reinforce the impression that a product is very popular, and the total lost revenue from under-pricing and undersupplying at first is insignificant for a low-volume high-end part.
