As a human, not referring to a machine... when network delays made you late... how did you know when you submitted it that you got it done in time? ;-) Were network delays not something that needed to be factored in if you were submitting via network, much as postal delays might need to be considered when submitting via mail?
I'm surprised too. Do you actually mean that most stats majors learn stochastic calculus or just that it's possible to take stochastic calculus?

As a pure mathematician, my experience is that stochastic calculus was only taught to very upper-level undergraduates or graduate students because of its measure theory prerequisite. And given the number of maths majors that graduate without ever having taken a course in measure theory, I would be surprised if many stats majors actually learned stochastic calculus. Unless you guys did what the physicists do and just taught the theorems without going too deeply into the foundations, I guess?

In the US, the gap between rich, middle-class and poor has been widening for 50 years straight. This is absolutely, entirely, 100% caused by insane economic policies, going back all the way from the Reagan era. There is no denying this.

A combination of solar, wind, nuclear, and hydro where available works just fine. I agree that the change is harder than with CFCs, but it's not that we're without a viable alternative to burning fossil fuels, outside of some special cases like aviation.
The alternatives are terrible chemically-speaking. A far worse compromise than a country switching form coal to renewables in most cases.

Without any effect on the atmosphere and the global agreement on it's detriment you would be certainly be using all these banned gases in your fridges and airconditioners. They are vastly superior from an engineering perspective which is why they were chosen in the first place.

There was also an explanation of velocity of money on tumblr that went viral:

> Let’s say you get paid $10, you use that $10 to buy lunch from a street vendor, then the street vendor uses that $10 to take a taxi home, then the taxi driver used that $10 to pay his babysitter, next the babysitter uses that $10 to buy groceries, etc. That one $10 bill produced $50 of economic value. This is really good for the economy and why it’s bad to give rich people more and more money because all rich people do is horde it. They don’t stimulate the economy multiple times over with it.

Is IoT Technology Transforming the Construction Industry?
I've heard this claim before, and I've never been shown evidence of this. Certainly Amazon didn't disclose this to me when I used to sell stuff on FBA.
> That one $10 bill produced $50 of economic value.

This is an error. The $10 bill mediated $50 worth of transactions.
Customers care about solutions to their problems, not the engineering behind it. Many VC funded startups with the latest AI tech have failed because they never actually served the customers. Meanwhile there are millions of profitable small businesses running with simple boring tech that works enough to provide value to their clients.

Engineering talent is in oversupply across the US and definitely across the globe. You can easily hire PhD level talent from Brazil or India. Also FAANG companies have long ago exhausted the best talent available. Most of their hires at this scale are no better than engineers elsewhere, it's more about the interview process, benefits, location and internal politics than raw quality now.
It's not irrelevant, since that makes it more puzzling why they'd acknowledge one project but not another.
I've got an icelandic wool sweater I bought from a woman (who wove it) while biking around the island. Really warm, also gorgeous in a rustic way, but way too heavy and incompressible for climbing/backpacking. The warmth/weight ratio is poor relative to modern synthetic puffies like the Nano-Air.
Quite a lot. 30% of the day on average.

Valve itself hasn’t figured out it’s money making strategy in games so I’m not sure why you’re patting them on the back for supposedly cracking the code that Epic supposedly copied (see: Artifact). They’ve had to also backtrack on their item auctioning ambitions due to money laundering issues with CSGO keys.

And games like League (not sure of Dota 2) and TF2 actually give you a slight advantage if you’re willing to pay. In TF2 different items will allow you to perform different attacks if you pay for them and MOBAs allow you to always play certain heroes if you pay for them. This is simply NOT the case with Fortnite and is more similar to Overwatch or CSGO in that regard.

In-game purchases are also different than standard loot boxes seen in other games as others have already mentioned. I won’t repeat myself but the key takeaway is 1) the game is 3rd person view so the perceived value of the cosmetic items is higher to the purchaser and 2) they’re NOT loot boxes.

I can really go on about their battle pass implementation vs the industry standard expansion packs or season passes (that games like COD MW or Apex have copied) or how they continue to innovate and significantly change the gameplay but your mind seems to have been made.

If someone comes in and combines the traits other games have but does it better than all of the rest while continuing to innovate, it is really just copying someone else’s strategy? Games like Arma 3 required mods and ones that “borrowed” the gameplay like PUBG and H1Z1 are clunky as hell to play and go for realism vs cartoon violence that Fortnite favors. Those three games are essentially interchangeable unlike Fortnite, which runs really well on everything but really just the Switch.
What about optics?
In more recent years, maybe American Apparel? I won't dignify them with a link, but if you search for "american apparel nsfw" you will find an Esquire article about their ads.

Regarding Stephenson's catalog, the '70s were a different time. If you had some friends over and you had a hot tub in the back yard, of course you would invite them to jump in, and of course they would take their clothes off first. It would be the polite thing to do.

That kind of casual nudity was just a normal part of life in many circles back then. It didn't even imply anything sexual.

The closest thing to a sexual reference in the catalog is a cute photo sequence on page 9 where the husband and wife company owners show how the sleeping bags can be zipped separately or together.

It's pretty tame compared to AA's hyper-sexualized advertising. That's a whole different kind of NSFW.

After taking another look through Stephenson's catalog, the other thing that strikes me is how much useful information there is. That guy loved to write! Sometimes he went on and on, but I would sure take that over too little information. The section on sleeping bag baffles is an education on its own.

> Smaller PDP-11s could also be personalised, and eventually you could buy LSI versions of the architecture. But the sales channels were almost exclusively corporate/industrial/academic

One of the great missed opportunities. I remember drooling over the DEC VT-103 in late 1979. This was a VT-100 terminal with an LSI-11 inside along with a TU-58 tape drive (one of the variety of strange little tape drives DEC were so fond of). It ran RT-11 (the inspiration for CP/M) which was a mature system with lot of software and good documentation. This would have made a really sweet personal computer with floppies instead of the TU-58. Had DEC marketed it as such back in 1979 might have forestalled the IBM PC. I wanted one really badly, and the pricing was not that bad for the time, but there was no way to get one as an individual. They were only sold to large companies or integrators for factory automation projects and such like.

Two years ahead of the IBM PC DEC had a factory churning out better systems with great software and all the development costs already paid for. Imagine what might have happened if they had thought to actually sell them to anyone who wanted one.
Go is just a half-baked joke language. Neither generics nor proper error handling nor a proper type system - whoever uses that crap just because it was made by Google is wasting their time.

Thank you! This may explain why the No Sweat Shirt wasn't for me. I wasn't going out in winter conditions, my typical backpacking trips would be in the spring in the Ventana Wilderness (central California coast) or summer in the Sierra. So when I was hiking the trail, I wasn't trying to keep warm so much as keep cool.
This might not be what you want since you've specified System 7, but if you like the Platinum theme used in Mac OS 8 and 9, I recommend the Platinum9 theme for XFCE, which is what I've been recently using whenever I use a Linux desktop:

https://github.com/timnetworks/Platinum9

I find this theme quite pleasing to use whenever I'm using a Linux desktop. However, it's not yet pixel-perfect, and this also doesn't address the fact that GTK and GNOME applications are written under a completely different set of UI guidelines than classic Mac apps were, and so it's still largely a Mac OS 8-like veneer over the Linux desktop.

Even so, this theme looks like an excellent foundation for a suite of GTK applications that employ the mid-1990s Apple Human Interface Guidelines. What would be tantalizing would be forks of AbiWord and GIMP that look and feel like Microsoft Word 5.1 and classic versions of Photoshop, respectively.

Dealing with Rejection as a Speaker
This is exactly what I've been doing last few days. Both phones and laptops.

Switch the default browser to Firefox and change the default search engine too. Firefox will protect them from all the third-party, cross-site tracking. It's faster too.

And if this causes an issue for something in the next day or two, you're still there to help them out plus the previous default browser is still there too.
Fundamental misunderstanding of how it works, I think. You're not paying for a transfer of information from professor to student. You need to engage with the material and make arguments. That's crucial in that field.
What are you going to do with your "enriched" inventory? Sit on it?
Generic types are probably one of the biggest ones. GLSL has generic builtins, but you can't define your own. But besides that, HLSL's support and management of buffers and bindings is a great deal saner than GLSL's. Especially the new syntax for loading structures from a ByteAddressBuffer. Beats the craziness that is SSBOs and image load/store.

GLSL's upbringing with integrated texture/samplers is a bit ridiculous in a separable texture/sampler world, like in Vulkan. You need to create an integrated texture/sampler with the sampler2D constructor, and then immediately use it. The GLSL spec specifically says you can't pass it to your own user-created functions, I'm guessing because they didn't trust platform vendors to write working compilers?

But glslang checks for it too, despite being the only GLSL compiler in the toolchain: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang/blob/bd97b6f9f2132fa...

You also can't put any binding object like texture2D in a struct, even though you can pass it between functions? The whole enterprise really feels like it was limitations in baby's-first-compiler that added a bunch of weird restrictions.

HLSL is a C++-esque derivative that supports quite a bit more functionality than you probably imagine, and a lot less of the goofy limitations, given that it has a single compiler stack made by a company with competent compiler engineers.

This is peak tech journalism: uncritical wishful thinking.

A strong claim, I know, but hear me out.

1) these are very small bluetooth headphones.

2) They only work when attached to a smart phone

3) They are still headphones.

Another thing to note is that they are still a substandard user experience compared to 3.5mm jack and decent headphones ($50+ with non tangle wires)

Bluetooth headphones are great if you want to not have to fiddle with wires. But, they are capricious and run out of batteries.

The pros have both noise isolation _and_ reduction. But, they are still let in a boat load of noise, especially speaking.

For long term use, you have to sacrifice isolation for comfort. For the same price as airpod pros you can get custom moulded in ear monitors. 35db of noise reduction, and they don't hurt.

The real selling point of ear buds is the fashion part. People are wearing them because they are a signal of how rich/successful they are. (in the same way people wore those shitty ipod ear buds.)

As for a platform, what are they going to do to be useful? "intelligent noise"? but that requires situational awareness that doesn't exist on smartphones yet.

They will be swept aside as soon as decent AR wearable pop onto the scene. Be that in 3 or 15 years.
I think that's just physics, I noticed the same behavior with my Jabra headphones. If I have my phone lying somewhere I can walk away quite some distance but if I have it in my left pocket and only the right headphone in while walking outside ( which I usually do this way) the connection becomes somehow spotty. My guess is that in an open space where there is nothing to effectively bounce off the waves the only path left is through my body which is so much water that it dampens the signal to a point where it becomes unreliable
And what I’m saying is that most people understand that “more than just something beautiful” is the refuge of people who aren’t capable of making something which is merely beautiful.

Peanut butter, if it’s made with just peanuts is fine, assuming that the person can tolerate legumes well. There are better actual nut butters though with better omega 3 to 6 ratios.

Honey is just sugar. The supposed pollen allergy prevention benefits people tout is questionable at best.

Banana is just some potassium with a tiny bit of fiber and lots of sugar. One can get their fiber and potassium from greens or tart fruits easily.

Refined carbs is just not good for you.

Again, I have no problem eating it. I just wouldn’t do it regularly and I wouldn’t personally call it healthy.

I didn't read the book yet, but I'll take a crack with a couple of examples:

Unix file systems, and its philosophy of "everything is a file". It wasn't common before Unix to interact with devices through a filesystem. Somebody noticed that simple tasks like "listing with ls" and "hex-dumping with xxd" doesn't need separate utilities for files vs devices, and thus made the abstractions converge. If you ask me, this is the kind of abstraction I wouldn't normally think of. It's useful to know what kind of things to be on the lookout for.

The second example is fuzzing. At least today, it's still kind of painful to have to manually write fuzz-tests for everything we care about. Manually coming up with good test cases is also hard. But remember those Monad laws in Haskell? https://wiki.haskell.org/Monad_laws these are essentially free fuzzing code. If I implement something as a Monad, at least in theory I should be able to reuse existing fuzz-drivers to test my new code as well. I probably would not have had the patience to come up with good tests myself. Similarly for other categories. Again, it's good to know what general interfaces already exist.
I bought a NF jacket thinking it would be something that could last me a good 5+ years. The inner padding around the collar just desintegrated after a few weeks and looks like a white plastic band. The outer shell absorbs moisture and is far from the water repellent/absorver it's advertized. Maybe I'm chasing old unicorns but these "technical" brands are not what they used to be say 20 years ago, despite their higher prices.
During Metal Shading Language's development, there were multiple opportunities to engage for Apple to open up their shading language toolchain, and make MSL a standard that would be respected by multiple people. They ignored that advice, and now lots of people grumble about writing MSL. It is, in many people's eyes, a quite decent shading language, but it's "different enough" and for a niche enough platform (in the games world) that it pays the price heavily. Tooling is pretty abysmal, and GPU debugging in Xcode is not the greatest experience.

Now, with that said, Apple did not propose MSL to the WebGPU working group either. Apple originally proposed a hilariously underspecified fork of HLSL called WHLSL which had three goals: 1. Be a safe shading language for the web, 2. Be compatible with existing HLSL content, 3. Add pointers.

Nobody ever justified the existence of that last one to me or the rest of the group, other than making the Metal implementation slightly easier for Safari, since Metal's binding model is based on pointers, and coincidentally, the Safari pre-release only supported binding pointers, and not the standard HLSL way of doing things. But still, the WHLSL proposal was interesting to a lot of people because HLSL seemed like a good language to start from.

After a lot of debate, Apple secretly went back to the drawing board, and released a revised version of the language, WSL, which dropped the goal of HLSL compatibility but still has pointers for some reason. Nobody has ever explained why it has pointers, despite everyone continuing to ask. The goals are still there if you want to read them [0].

You can use this for calculating trace widths. I think 2mm is too narrow with 2oz copper and definitely too narrow with 1oz.

https://www.4pcb.com/trace-width-calculator.html

Most PCB houses can handle 8mil (0.2mm) traces and clearance with no problems.

Best thing way to handle vias in high current designs is to avoid them. Run the trace from point A to point B on the same layer. Second way is to use planes for distribution. Other things you can do. Make sure there isn't a thermal relief. Use multiple/arrays of vias.

I appreciate good sound and for this I have always preferred wired, however I have been wireless for a couple years now for one simple reason, as an insurance policy for my phone. As a desk worker I simply got up tethered and dragged my phone with me too many times. It's up to the individual to decide if Bluetooth hiccups (and a need to charge) are worth it in their case. I found for using in the office wireless was the way to go. If I am bundles up in a jacket with a phone and wired headphones I don't have as many issues. Ironically the only headphones I ever broke because of dangling wires were an early pair of "wireless" buds with a neck lanyard for the battery wired to the buds.
