It is a major problem to figure out what instructions to use but it's a lot more nuanced than you seem to imply. In the first place you seem to assume that "not running at the max turbo speed that's printed in the marketing literature" is equivalent to "downclocking". However, there are a huge number of reasons why a core might not clock up, including the number of active cores on the package. The first Xeons that shipped with AVX-512 had turbo clocks that were 25% lower than the headline turbo clocks, e.g. 2400MHz instead of 3200MHz. This is still pretty good, and the base clock is 2100MHz.

With the newest Ice Lake processors ("10th generation") the all-cores-active, all-avx-512 max clock speeds are the same as max scalar clock speeds. You can try this out yourself with the avx-turbo program.
I'm not saying I agree with the implementation -- I think the text should indeed be selectable. But it's not what I would call a bug. I looked at the Bugzilla ticket type system and it should be an "enhancement" or "task", not a "defect".
Unpopular opinion: though a cause for concern, a video playing near a driver's windshield is far less dangerous than a driver taking their eyes off the road, looking down at their phone, context switching, and interacting with it. In my area distracted driving is epidemic -- I just assume that most of the folks rear ending each other in broad daylight are the direct result of drivers looking down at their phone.
Can concur with this.

The rank and file of many orgs have no thoughts of their own.

But the really shocking thing is how executive level management as so many organisations can't either. Most execs have no idea what their strategy is, they're just the 'responsible people who are in charge'.

FYI in some cases, 'the Firm' may actually have deep knowledge in a particular area - such as 'fast moving goods' or whatever . So the company is actually 'buying' the exposure the consultants will have had to other folks in their industry.

But the prices are boondoggle insane, out of touch with reality.
You can't benchmark "server dominance".

You can benchmark what you just described, plus piece other pieces of the puzzle together, like Nuvia Series-A, and then extrapolate from that.

At the end it's still my opinion, I don't have a crystal ball =)
I keep seeing this, but I don't think it is true today with latest FF. The recent updates they made have made FF on mac speedy and no more battery hungry than chrome. safari still beats all on batt though...
If you commute by car you have to payon to the road and can’t do anything else. If you use public transportation it is probably too crowded and inconvenient to read a book or watch a podcast. Situations as described by you are exception, not the rule. Of course self-driving cars would solve this.
Agreed. I saw some report that reaction times for distracted driving are actually worse than DUI.

On top of that, you can avoid the vast majority of drunk drivers if you stay off the roads at night. Distracted drivers are on the road at all hours.
Texting while driving should be treated with the same severity as drunk driving. Full stop.
$30/m seems quite reasonable. If a business can't afford $30/m you probably don't want them as a client. A single support ticket a month will kill your margins.
It's a shame these are all presented with giant blocky pixels. It makes some of the fonts look really ugly (ex. Lady Bug). Better IMO to present them as they would appear on the medium for which the designers intended them, a CRT. https://www.hottechzone.com/is-an-old-crt-television-perfect... has some good examples of the difference.

I'm typically a Simon Sinek fan but (The Infinite Game) left a poor taste in my mouth.

I had just finished (Finite and Infinite Games) by James P. Carse. He normally does a great job distilling information from mulitple sources, but in this case it seemed like he added nothing, condensed nothing, and in my opinion came really close to just rewriting the first 1/2 of someone else's book and calling it a new thing.

I'm not calling it plagiarism, he's obviously too smart to cross that line. But if you read the books you will see what I mean.
Rockpi, raspberry pi, orange pi all have 4 or 6 core arm64 sbc.
And a lot of people probably undervalue video specifically. I was probably one of them but I've had a manager who insisted on camera-on for both group and 1:1 calls unless you were in some environment where you couldn't for bandwidth or other reasons. It really does make people more engaged.
Is that really true? I definitely have the (subjective, not backed by research or real familiarity) impression that Federal prosecutors hold themselves to a much higher standard than most state/county DAs.

Regardless, you're right and it can't be prosecutors all the way down. Ultimately if you're wronged by the Federal government you probably have to accept some kind of civil liability. Granted the US government isn't great at doing that either, but I think that's a different, largely unrelated problem.
It depends on the dealer, but for multi-brand sellers you can expect them to push whatever has the most profit margin for them, in the case of a Ford dealer that sells multiple brands (new, Im not talking used) I'd expect them to push Ford for the margin, just like Amazon is going to push their brand. But Amazon is a market-place (whereas I cannot go to this Ford dealership and list my own car for sale) and this is anti-competitive .

I guess the Bloomberg article is wrong...we do have laws that ban using a phone while driving for manual entry (texting, web browsing). I wonder how watching video content plays into that?

Driving stick doesn’t mean anything. You can be texting and driving stick at the same time easily. You don’t constantly need your hand on the shifter.
Does GPM let you move the insertion point in nano or vim? It didn't when I last used it 12 or 13 years ago. All it let me do was select a region of text from the screen plus the scrollback buffer of the linux console. Then I could choose to copy that region. And IIRC, the copy had a newline wherever the text being displayed had a newline and where one line of the linux console ended and the next line began, so if what I was copying had any lines that ran longer than the screen width, I'd have to manually remove the second type of newlines after pasting.

And when the user selected text using GPM, the program (e.g., nano) never learned of it: it was local to GPM and the linux console.

The man page you linked states, "The selection mechanism is disabled if the controlling virtual console is placed in graphics mode, for example when running X11, and is re-enabled when text mode is resumed," (then goes on the describe how sometimes it does not get re-enabled because of a bug).

Can a modern PC even be put into text mode anymore? (Honest question: I do not know.)

Have you ever gotten GPM to work with X11 or Wayland?

Dgsh sounds like dogshit... Sorry
Yes, it's been illegal for years - but EVERY DAY I see people on their phones - talking, texting. My favorite move is when they're holding their phone like a waiter - it's on speaker phone, but I would consider that in no way "hands free" operation. And they are always driving recklessly (inconsistent speed, sometimes swerving). It's absolutely out of control.
By definition a 23 year old can’t have 25 years of experience in anything, even tying shoes.

They can’t legally have worked full time in the United States for more than 7 years.

Unless they are a wild outlier, they can’t have an advanced degree and significant years of professional experience doing anything.

You kinda have a point but sensitivity to age discrimination towards the young in this sort of statement is a bit of a stretch imo. It’s also shorthand for absolute realities of time and space.

Edit: Age discrimination also isn't perfectly symmetrical because:

If you’re young, you will very likely get to be old one day.

If you are old, you never get to be young again.
I think there is bias against them because they are so cheap. But they are arm64 and with 4 or 6 cores now. Still slow compared to an Intel/amd desktop but just always ssh/sshfs into them from your primary machine. I do this with vscode and it is great. Even better if you primary machine is Linux based.
To be fair, I've played video (not in the car, for the record) that I only really had on in a background tab for the audio. Something like the recent impeachment hearings I could see pulling up CNN for without actually watching.
I might just be dense, but I don't fully understand how the IFF was supposed to work. What was its intended effect? Is it just a tax that the contractors have to pay on spending the government's money, to disincentivize them to spend that money?
> There are a lot of very "experienced" 23 year olds

By the definition of the word--no, there aren't. You can have talented, capable, and driven 23 year olds, but not "very experienced." Given a working adults life spans approximately 40-50 years, a 23 year old claiming that title is laughable (exceptions being musical prodigies and athletes who have trained from childhood).
We know where Trump lies
Yup, definitely true. I just got paid a fairly handsome sum for a one week gig at a large organization to write a report about a technical change. It was clear what the outcome was supposed to be and that the manager (who was just taking over some new orgs) already knew what they wanted to do, and just needed an external report to both bolster their decision and CYA. Luckily, what the manager wanted to do is also what I would have recommended, or it could have gotten a bit awkward.
Most of my responses are covered already, and I know this is cliche, but Art of War by Sun Tzu.

> If everyone suddenly had 5m in their bank accounts, you can bet your ass of millions of people would quit their jobs and go off to start their own things.

1. Read about lottery winners - that is a real life experiment on what people do with 5m dollars.

2. In first world countries, we all are given a mostly equal amount of extremely valuable years. How we use those hours matters.

> The fact that they happen to possess the capital necessary to profitably exploit you while you don't

Many business owners are just average people that were given zero capital by their family, instead betting their time and their own savings. “Capital” applies in some cases (inherited farm? France?) but it is radically wrong thinking for a significant number of “owners” that started out with the same random playing pieces as everyone else in this game.

If you hate “the man”, then work for a small business owned by someone dealt a similar hand in life as you were (if they will employ you - they tend to dislike being told they were born with everything on a silver platter).
“National Security” simply means to protect the state and in no way is about protecting civilian Americans.
> My first question would be, why has no industry trade group attempted to define a standard socket, or use an existing physical socket pin-out.

Because ARM is a design licensed to companies that want to make their own chips for their own purposes. Those purposes involve optimizing cost by choosing, per product, whether to integrate various cores onto the SoC, or to leave them as external devices on the board, or to maybe put them into a secondary chipset microcontroller and route some IO pins to connect the two.

In ARM designs, the licensee determines the required pin-out, because the licensee determines what the CPU does vs. what the board does. You can't really have a generic "ARM board", because no two "ARM CPUs" would have the same expectations for what are on that board.

A particular ARM licensee could standardize the socket between their own designs—but in doing so, they'd lose a lot of the advantage of licensing vs. buying an off-the-shelf chip in the first place.

This isn’t a fair comparison, you need to compare a person texting while driving with a person who is texting while drunk driving.
Studies on smart phone usage should be taken with a grain of salt because it's hard to define the spectrum of use without self-reporting. One might use their phone to watch lectures while another is watching clickbait but both can be on the same app.
More like the apps themselves aspire to operate on the level of addictive drugs.
As a developer, 90% of interactions I have with PMs can be done asynchronously through a tool like JIRA, Slack, Email, Figma, etc.

The other 10% of those could simply be phone calls or screen shares.
Brand has an impact, but I'd guess most alumni probably came in as already competent and ambitious, even if the projects during their tenure were mundane.
Funny, you're justifying Google's strategy that e.g. Genius.com complained about: scrape and present the raw data that people want, and they'll be able to avoid another pageload, while the site doesn't get a visitor-- but wasn't that the point of SEO? It's like search engine means something else now.

Along the same lines, the first time I heard a TV commercial for Bing (~10y ago) I had very little idea what it even was but they happily promoted it as a 'decision engine', IIRC.
There's so much emphasis on using your hands with the phone or not and with most laws that allow hands-free usage, people think that's completely safe; but it's not. No one talks about how distracting it is simply having a conversation on the phone while driving. The hands really aren't the most dangerous part of the equation.

Obviously, looking at the phone rather than the road is the worst part, but no one seems to be talking about how hands-free systems aren't helping either and are probably hurting by making people think they are being safe.

I also don't understand why the laws regarding cell phones and even drunk driving are so lax. Any of these should result in an immediate ban on your license for a long time. If I had a gun license and walked around shooting it, I would lose that license as well as I proved I am not responsible enough to operate it and that could result in death.
It would be interesting to know if people, on average, actually do put those resources towards human interaction, and whether it improves their well-being overall.

Do network stacks drop 127.0/8 packets from external interfaces today? Superficially (I'm not an experienced TCP/IP or routing stack developer, although I do work in the kernel) it seems like the same treatment could be used for VPN-registered interface addresses. You just need an API to specify "I'm a VPN interface" when the device is created or the IP assigned, no?
This isn't hyperbole. The speaker used to not work during voice calls:

> The other [problem] is that call audio isn't routed to the speaker. I haven't personally hit this, I'm just using a data-only SIM and can't remember the last time I actually used a phone to make a voice call.

It might be time for a regulatory mandate here. Phones have to go offline if they're running more than 15MPH unless docked or handsfree.

I can't believe i'm calling for regulation, but someone will. Question is do we get ahead of it now or before a new Congress does?

I also feel like pointing out this article says there were 3,000 deaths from phone use. Well, there were 40,000 from firearms in the US https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/us/gun-deaths.html. PRIORITIES!
They have been upfront about that from what I can tell. They are only shipping phones to those who are either working on making it work, or those who have indicated willingness to accept the flaws to be first. There is every reason to believe it will work.

There are things to not like about the company, but releasing like this is not one.
But somehow, Google, as their last act of "don't be evil", decided to appease SEO people (who were a fiercely vocal crowd shitstorming over every change designed to counter their tricks) rather than ruthlessly pull through with the fight for result quality. If memory serves me right they were actively promoting "acceptable SEO" to lure practitioners away from even more annoying tactics. And then they failed to adapt once three "acceptable" started to ruin result quality. It's anyone's guess (perhaps even to Googlers who were right in the middle of is) wether that happened because of the slow-boil effect, commitment to their appeasing promises or because of plain old corporate complacency.

PS: oh, and in a certain way skewed search results even help Google, it increases ranking mysticism. When one site is consistently high, their competitors cannot know wether that is because of artful SEO or because heavy ad-spending is invisibly tipping the scales. So they will fearfully carry their own advertising budget to the altar of search ranking instead of running ads on a competing network like Facebook. Who knows wether The Algorithm considers ad-spend or not, better not provoke an angry god!
Ctrl+tab and Ctrl+shift+tab also cycles through tabs on macos. Note: ctrl, not cmd
Me too. And as a car driver I hate motorcyclists who weave in and out of traffic and pass on the shoulder. I also hate people who drive up to my back end and pass, narrowly missing me. I also hate drivers who cut off Semis.

Bad drivers are just bad drivers and there needs to be better enforcement.
If MS-DOS had enjoyed as much developer attention as the *nix command line experience has over the past couple of decades, that might not be so bad a prospect.
It's been my experience that mixed remote/onsite doesn't work. Either go all-remote or all-onsite. I've even been in an org once that was mixed remote/onsite and very friendly towards remote and decided to end that policy, which resulted in all remote staff walking away from the company. That's a very tough and painful thing to have happen.

Among the remote-only companies that I've been in, I've never seen the remote-culture as being in any way problematic. (Quite the contrary. They were usually better at communicating).
And vaping
Nope. I'm not sure at all that it is a valid choice.

This is new news to me.
Not a PM myself but I know tons of PMs who work remotely--but in most if not all of those cases the engineering teams they're working with are some combination of remote (i.e. WFH) and distributed as well.
> No one wants the overhead on current hardware

Well it depends. That overhead may be quite acceptable in many places. Certainly not 'no one'. However you've not quantified what that might be, IIRC some guy turned on int overflow/underflow checking and it only cost 3% extra time. Guess that's down to speculation & branch prediction.

I don't like any overhead in time or hardware either, but measure first.
Getting an outsider perspective - sure. That I can get behind, it can obviously be helpful.

But getting an outsider to tell you what to do? A complete overhaul? That’s a leap. You’re going from getting perspective to getting directed by an outsider. A recipe for disaster, and from what we’re seeing here, that’s exactly what has happened.
In other words, company is promoting its own product on its own platform. Some people don’t like it.
This is why consultants hire Ivy League graduates. To create a myth of "Ivy League" "quality" justifying the decisions they are hired to recommend.

The other thing management consultants do is industrial espionage -- they go into a company to learn how it work, and then advise other companies on how "industry leaders" operate.
It's exactly this.

Within any organization, you can have 3 or 6 important people pushing in completely different strategic directions. And it can be clear to any unbiased observer that there's only one good, responsible choice, but within your org that gets met with essentially "but that's just your opinion, man".

So you call in a consulting firm and they deliver what most of the people already know. The consultants don't need to be rocket scientists.

But afterwards, nobody can say it's just your opinion any more. It's now expert analysis that you paid good $$$ for, and everybody who disagreed before now basically has to get on board.

So it's not even necessarily political "cover", but almost like a referee that brings enough credibility to settle otherwise intractable internal disputes.

Also, this lets the CEO appear unbiased to all the people who "lost". So they can get on board with the new policy but not feel like the CEO shot them down personally, which is bad for morale, can lead them to quit, etc. (Just because they believed in the wrong strategy doesn't mean they still can't be super-valuable in the future in executing the right strategy.)
I'm not really convinced by the general mindset of ths discussion. What programs need is not to display a "png file" inside the terminal. What you want is to access the individual pixels of a rectangular framebufer using serialized escape sequences. That way you can intetact with the images.
You're correct, but if you don't want to be that guy you generally want to notice the light is about to change and get into 1st gear. Vs head down facebooking waiting for the honk to step on the gas.
