> many times an AMD laptop will have ONE USB-C port and it will be used to physically power the device, thus removing it from utility.

That's indeed annoying, especially when you need to use it also to drive external monitors. I use USB-C hubs with DP output to work around that. Works well with Lenovo E495 running Linux.

It's definitely not for gamers, even silly "I have to have the best thing" gamers. Games are considered "lightly threaded" in these sorts of conversations, so you're looking for max boost clock / IPC.

However, Lots of the youtube influencer ruling class will buy it, in part because of what you said ("those who can afford it..").

The real legitimate consumer base for this are people whose work productivity is held back by compute loads that are embarrassingly parallel. If you spend a lot of your time waiting for a (well threaded) compiler to finish, or blender to render something out, or whatever.
I must have read a million articles in my life, but that’s the first one to have me in tears and really make me think at a deep level. Great writing!

But he already said he had a problem with inhumanely produced meat, in other words, actions that cause grave harm to animals. Why would you have that standard at all if you don't care if it's met?

(There's also the land use and emissions angle. Arguably meat consumption causes harm to all humans and beyond.)
I think the thought is without the merger there is a deterrent timeline where Boeing maintains enough management competence to not turn development of the 787 into an outsourced/vendor funded cluster fuck. Which might have left them with enough funding to replace the 737 with something modern and safe.

Meaning failure to develop the 787 on time an on budget left them with no time to develop a proper replacement for the 737 without losing customers to the Airbus 320. Seriously it took Boeing about 9 years to develop and deliver the 787.

Thank You! The most important think I need at the moment is feedback :) I've you have any remarks on that, let me know!
The traditional criticism of salt was that it raised blood pressure and was related to heart disease. I think that line of thinking is being questioned - but nutritional science seems to be a mess and guidelines changes as often as the JavaScript ecosystem.
I used Qt5 settings editor to make it similar to non-QT apps (I'm using XUbuntu) but that only takes care of window/toolbar/icon/fonts. Just so happens that I don't use a dark theme so I'm happy with the results but I can see that it'll standout in a dark themed desktop.
What is the analogy here? The first guess that came to my mind was the monorepo versus multi-repo debate: since Git can only support repos that are so large (shelf space) without getting slow, you should split up your repos (journal size) even if semantically you would prefer a monorepo. But that would support the point I was making, whereas the obliqueness of your reply makes me think you probably meant to criticize it.
Use "large text" setting in accessibility settings (assuming you're using Ubuntu), and zoom in your browser, terminal, and text editor using their own settings. That's what I do. Looks great. Though my monitor is 32".
I do like that select statement which hits the first case that has its channel ready with a message. That's very nice. And having channels in your standard library is brilliant and everyone should do it.

A shame about the shared memory thing though. I firmly believe that designing a language where memory is shared by default is a Bad Idea. You should probably provide a way to allow it when you really need it (for performance, usually, in very very very carefully-designed code), but having memory sharing by default is a source of soooooo many bugs.

I know, because I've caused most of them.
I configured mine with 16G RAM, but yeah, the screen options max out at 1920x1080 and 300nits. That said, for a laptop with this form factor it's got an amazing keyboard.
I think that's exactly the idea. But if space expanded at the same rate everywhere and forever then the relationship would be linear. But it seems that further objects seem to be moving away slower than linear relationship would suggest which might mean that earlier space expanded slower.
If by "conspiracy" you mean "business deals where Intel uses their financial clout to compel companies to not provide AMD options", then yes, that is definitely provably happening.

I can't use google fu to find it now, but I swear I read something about this in the last 6 months or so. The best I have is from 2007: https://fortune.com/2007/02/15/suit-intel-paid-dell-up-to-1-...
The problem boils down to refactoring a large monolith. I feel like Git is a scapegoat for a much larger problem.

I think you should re-read what I wrote:

> Both should of course be done simultaneously, and never focus on one to the exclusion of the other.

I have no issues with developing 2nd layers, but ignoring on-chain scaling and not even looking at what can be achieved is beyond stupid.

In fact we know that moderate blocksize increases are safe (we can increase it many times before block propagation time becomes an issue for example). Yet we've thrown that out and placed our hope that 2nd layers will magically solve this for us.

> So, you are basically going to tell the Starbuckses and other large corporations that have built a large infrastructure around onchain transactions that they need to stop that, wait a few years until 2nd layers are adopted, and then start using that?

No, that's exactly what has happened to Bitcoin, and what the Bitcoin developers have been saying the last few years. It's what I'm saying is so stupid.

The Lightning Network has been "ready in 18 months" the last 4 years. And it's still not ready.

How about RSS? Each channel has RSS, and iirc it has only failed once (as in, a few days with no updates even though there were new videos) in the last 4-5 years. I don't use Youtube's system for following channels anymore, I just have a YouTube 'subscriptions' category on my feedly.

The possibility of git being the last mass-market DVCS within my lifetime leaves me with warm fuzzy feelings. Git is simple and elegant, though its interface might not be.
GPU Performance for Game Artists (2017)
I tried taking on a side job last year and it made me miserable. The work was fairly easy, the people were great, and the money was decent, too. But taking on a whole new set of responsibilities and losing a chunk of my free time was just too much for me. Ultimately it just wasn’t worth the toll it took on my mental health.

One issue in particular that I ran into was the difficulty in context switching between my day job and my side job. I imagined being able to do an hour here or there before or after work. But in reality I found it really hard to get any meaningful work done in an hour, which meant I needed to allocate larger chunks of time than I originally planned. That meant I often ended up sacrificing entire evenings, or chunks of my weekend on my side job. The difficulty in context switching also caused me to procrastinate a lot, which also made me feel terrible about myself.
Absolutely fantastic idea!!!
Putting up barriers on one privately owned website isn’t the same as making people less free to share their ideas. Particularly when the barrier might be something so benign as “to be included as kids content this video must be pre-approved”.

But won’t someone think of the poor content creators who might have to wait or upload their content somewhere else!
I like his comments on http://www.pmail.com/devnews.htm:

"I'll resist the urge to let loose, though, and simply say that (1) "Less-secure applications" is crude scare-mongering by Google that means little and is mainly intended to serve their political agenda, and that (2) OAUTH2 is among the most poorly-standardized and ill-considered hacks I've ever encountered in thirty years of serving the Internet."

I would like to read his full rant about OAUTH2 for email authentication!

Something no one has mentioned but I think is important to note is how the volume in laptops comes from that medium to low end range. Sure a high end thinkpad is a fantastic laptop, but it is never going to see two hundred units at the local walmart.

AMD needs to improve margins and take market share. Low end laptops bring that market share. The margins will follow once Intel cannot rely on moving the majority of chips. Until then Intel has the upper hand for low margin cheap laptops, that is the critical market.
Great timing for this question, I just completed the audiobook and was also looking for something similar.

Masters of Doom is probably the best book I have ever consumed. It was extremely motivating, the description of everything made me wish I could go back in time and be there so badly.

Think of having a goal you are so passionate about reaching, that you don't care about food, baths or anything else, you just want to work on this 20 hours a day. Must have been amazing.

Myself, I definitely will have a look at the Wolfenstein 3D and Doom "Game Engine Black Book" by Fabien Sanglard.
Contains soy, so thanks, but no, thanks.
My friend had unlimited PTO at the startup she worked at (~300 people). Her boss sat her down and told her she needs to respect the companies unlimited PTO policy after she took “too much” PTO. She quit shortly after they sent her an email about following the “unlimited” PTO policy. So yes, it’s scammy. Be careful!

> When production is "threatened", artificially boosting demand would be the exactly wrong thing to do

There was wartime demand. Dairy farmers invested to meet it. War ends. Demand goes down. That capital must now be written off, re-purposed, or the demand re-started. We chose the last option.

Production as in productive capital or productive potential.
I wonder what magic turns 34% into 76%.

We just need to put more effort into hacking the onboard computers. I’m sure we all remember the mod chips that gained popularity over the last couple decades.

If the market demands it, which with the advent of computers on tractors platform this can and will be modified to allow for the maximum utility for the end user. I see nothing wrong with this.

A column-store will be magnitudes faster at analytical queries than any rowstore system. This is fundamental architecture and the data used makes little to no difference.

This does not surprise me. Git's original purpose of managing versions of a tree of text files (i.e. the source code of the Linux kernel) pervasively influences it, and I wouldn't expect it to be any good for working with binary files or large files.

If somebody comes up with something that matches Git's strengths and also handles binaries and biggies much, much better then they could definitely topple Git with it. It'd take time for the word to spread, the tools to mature and the hosting to appear, but I can definitely see it happening.

I think most people know that Git isn't perfect, but it's also the case that coming up with anything better is an extremely difficult task. If it wasn't, someone would have already done it. It's not like people haven't been trying.
Channels are really nice; I love writing "workers" with them and sending errors and "status messages" with a simple `status <- "starting supernode"`/`errors <- err`; doing this with i.e. Node's async/await is just so much more complex.

I once forgot to bring my wallet to office. I rarely borrow money so I very reluctantly asked for 20 bucks from a colleague. It was supposed to take care of breakfast/lunch/dinner (probably should have borrowed more considering the location where I was, it wasn't a given that it'll be sufficient). I remember carefully checking the prices of items to decide what I was going to order so that I had enough for the next meal.

This was not even remotely close to being poor but it was enough to provide me with some direct perspective.
somehow this comment finally made me realize my issue with "everything in moderation".

There's clearly a pretty big public health crisis when it comes to food. So saying "in moderation" is very hard to judge! Clearly the status quo isn't great.

So what's a moderate amount of fat to consume?

It could be half of what people tend to consume. it could be 10%. It could be double!

Given that if you follow "eat what you like" you end up in a bad place, it's kind of hard to lend credence to stuff like paleo.

So you're back to square 1 of having not much of a great idea. My bet is that the moderate amount of stuff that would be healthy vastly differs from what the "average minus 15%" or something would be.

I tried the Beyond Meat patty, version 1 I think. Wondering if anyone else got an absolutely strange type of taste / sensation in their throat when they tried it? It wasn’t at all pleasant and really hard to describe. Kind of like - I don’t know - canola oil mixed with peanut - sort-of? While breathing in a thick gas. Very odd.

I was really hyped up to like it, but found it only somewhat like meat. I was impressed with the texture inside. The outer crust reminded me of warm cardboard. To be fair, I might have burned it so I do want to try it again. Really keen to try an Impossible Burger (anyone know if there’s somewhere in Australia that serves them?).

My whole place smelled sickly sweet after cooking it as well. I’ve seen some people describing it as smelling like cat food, which I’d agree with.
No, it is a Skull Canyon NUC from 2016 (with an i7-6770HQ), see https://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-mac-desktops/int... for a description (I think this https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/boards-kits... is the Intel product page).

Intel is using the Canyon word for their range of powerful NUCs (Skull Canyon, Hades Canyon, etc. and the upcoming Ghost Canyon).
Nope. We have no actual evidence of a violation of the conservation of energy. What has happened here is that astrophysicists got way out on a branch. They were quite excited and came up with a theory that seemed to explain why there appeared to be increasing redshift with distance, and later that theory was shown to violate conservation of energy. Doubling down, they waved their hands and said that conservation of energy must not hold at 'cosmological scales', without any evidence to make such a claim.
It would be nice if you put up a design document.

I'd rather read that first to get my bearings, as opposed to opening up a folder full of gibberish code.

Usually a well written design document explains the high level constructs of the project. Then some mid-level documents ties in the design document, with the implementation code.

This makes the project more intelligible, and allows for a layman to jump in, and follow along.

Can’t really give you a quantifiable answer time wise. It really depends on how much time you put in and how good of a developer you already are.

It took me 4 years working full time to get to the point I’m at now. But I also worked Uber, Postmates, and fast food jobs to support my family at night till I got side gig developer work. In my 3rd year things really started to take off. I now have 8 certifications.

There are some studies which show that fat and sugar combined lead to more consumption [1]. The food industry calls this the "Bliss point" [2] and that's why many processed foods combine have a high amounts of fat and carbs.

It's an assumption, and while you might make a reasonable argument to try to justify it, it's still an assumption. The real problem is when we cross from 'assuming these things, which we don't really have a strong reason to assume' to 'this is the way the universe is'. Without the qualifications it's extremely misleading and loses any basis it started with.

> So you concur with me that if Google changed the Android kernel it would be a big change?

No I don't, anyone writing portable applications already does compilations all the time.

It is no different than the requirements to provide newer builds updated to specific Android target versions, or being 64 bit only that Google keeps forcing devs to move forward.

It is Google and OEM's job to ensure that NDK APIs work across whatever kernels are available.

Any application that depends on syscalls isn't portable across Android devices anyway. Google doesn't support syscalls as part of the NDK stable APIs contract, and some OEMs are well known to change their behavior.
Not when talking about platform curation.
That’s why everybody else does it?
Nothing changes except for the missing block reward. At the moment mining a block on BTC will net you about $100K (block reward + fees). If BTC wants to keep the same (relative) security as it has now while having no block reward, the transaction fees have to cover the $100K. With the current 7tps (at most) limit that will have to amount to about $24 per transaction when the blocks are 100% full all the time. If people aren't willing to pay that transaction fee or use an alternative (cheaper) cryptocurrency, the security of the BTC chain will plummet.
Thanks a lot. This is a lot of information to digest. I will check out your Twitter feed and I think I need to start to play around with TPUs then. Scaling seems to work fantastic for you. I am working more in computer vision and we are running sometimes into weird bottlenecks with our GPUs where neither GPUs not CPUs are under full load. Unfortunately, drilling down on where the bottlenecks come from is not easy at all. I am assuming the profiler from Tensorflow works with TPUs in the same way it does with GPUs?
If people choose to give their money to others, then that’s fine. The problem with society is that it is taken from us against our will.
I want an editing environment which operates on the AST of my code (obviously it would have to support every language I wanted explicitly to do this), so that files become entirely irrelevant, I never have to worry about formatting differences or where things are or whether that function is in that file or that file. A bit like working in a Smalltalk image.

If that was then extended into the version control system that'd be even better. Oh yes.

But getting a new language into these things would probably be a nightmare.

absolutely, for any meaningful comparison one has to track down what the code name for the CPU core is on various semiconductor enthusiast websites, and do ones' own research. There's like 10 different generations of core i3/i5/i7 now. I think the old i7 sitting behind me is an Ivy Bridge.
