I do the same thing for my personal laptops. While it certainly has a few quirks, I've found the Razer Blade to be a good balance between size and cooling performance. It is noticeably thicker than a Macbook Pro, but still light enough to carry around.
Heck I’d even say many tech companies are like this. Their core product works and is for all intents and purposes “done”, but they still keep growing. Dropbox is a good example IMO.

> there apparently isn't enough people with this skill on the market

Judging by the number of memory vulnerabilities found each year in mainstream operating systems (which are developed by some of the best programmers around), there aren't any people on the market with this skill. This is very likely because all programmers are human beings.

Manually managing memory isn't difficult, it has been proven to be practically impossible. I wouldn't care if it were Linus claiming otherwise, it's ignoring incredible amounts of evidence to the contrary and is much like flat-earther.
> the example you posted is so obvious I was surprised at it.

Yeah I was surprised too. Considering that clip is from the author of the post.

> you definitely need to be more mindful of your setup and not just have some wall-mounted panels and your tower right next to your mic.

Mine is on the floor, under my desk, which has a large thick piece of wood (the desktop) as a barrier and it still comes through without a noise gate. My mic is on a boom arm like 5 feet above my tower (I use a standing desk) and the mic is positioned opposite of my computer to further reduce it picking it up.

Also, a lot of people use laptops as their main computer which is even worse. Chances are you'll end up with your laptop on the top of your desk instead of below it.

That's why I was so taken back by him creating this article without mentioning noise cancellation.

Fortunately I do have the DBX and the noise floor is almost silent without clamping down too hard on natural frequencies. I've recorded about 400 videos, some with the DXB and some without and there's such a huge difference.
Its basically the same thing when you borrow at a longer term to invest the difference.

Mathematically, it makes a lot more sense for us to refinance to another 30 year loan (to get rid of PMI) and invest the difference but I am planning on refinancing to a 15 year.
I have brought this up before, but this already exists.

Microsoft Teams Now Available for Linux
Say you created 32 dual vcore VMs with this, each with 2GB of RAM. How would they perform simultaneously together, vs a separate dual core PC (like a core2duo)? I don't know very much about the performance differences or if its even possible to compare such a thing.
I mean, it's not that outlandish. It's such an apples to oranges comparison but performance for dollar is still in the "build your own desktop" side of the arena, as it's always been.

"Rust enables junior-level JavaScript programmers to write kernel/bare-metal level code without fear of making these kinds of errors. If you've spent a career programming in C and you're complaining about Rust, you're right. Rust isn't for you, it's for your replacement."

That's a pretty silly thing to say.

Writing code that doesn't crash isn't the hardest thing about writing low-level code. Sure, it's a problem, even an important problem, but there's a ton of other knowledge that no JS developer would have.
Unless by "write" you mean write 2 lines per day with lots of searching in-between that has to be thrown away in the end.
Work-at-Home Secrets and Internet Jetset – John Crestani
It most likely comes from how the questionnaire was built. Most of the people I know get at least one day a work from home. That's 25% of home workers depending on how you count it :).

A lot of Dutch also work part time. I for example have 4 days, including 1 from home. That's somehow 2/5 of my time at home then.

Those figures are believable, and imho, great! Coming from France, it's a pleasure to have that freedom.
This argument gets more and more ridiculous as time progresses. Apple is worth nearly ten times what it was eight years ago. It’s launched a watch which has, in a few short years, overtaken the entire Swiss watch industry in revenue.

This is just another take on the tired argument that Apple is only successful because of a core group of fanboys/girls who will buy anything just because it’s Apple, despite Apple’s customer base being an order of magnitude greater today than it was back then.

> A glaring case in point, all passenger rails connecting East and West must go through Chicago -- far north of southern states. (There is one claimed southern line, but it never appears to be available for transport.)

This is a matter of geography. Your main eastern market is the DC-Boston corridor--as populated as all of the other states on the Atlantic seaboard combined. So that means that you're mostly looking at terminating there, no matter where on the West Coast you originate. If you start in the Northwest, you have to cross south of Lake Michigan to reach the NEC, so Chicago is en route. If you're in Northern California, you'll emerge from the Front Range near Denver, and you can pick whichever hub you want--might as well pick the one everyone else is using and choose Chicago. Even as far south as Oklahoma City, going to DC via Chicago only adds 100-200 miles to your route. It's not until you get to Dallas that reaching the NEC via Atlanta/Charlotte/Raleigh-Durham makes sense.

Historically, by the latter half of the 1800s, the railroad industry already settled on using Chicago as the main termination of every major railroad, and thus the major transshipment point. Geographically, the logical point is bounded by the southern tip of Lake Michigan and northern bank of the Ohio River (as you have prairies to the north and hills to the south). In principle, a city like St. Louis or Indianapolis could have grown up to be the major transshipment hub instead of Chicago, but you'd still be complaining about the lack of southern East-West lines in that scenario.

Second, potentially 'catastrophic', software defect found on Boeing Starliner
Which is why the last car I bought, I intentionally chose something that had practically zero software.
When I was in college, I needed a car to get to work (server at a restaurant), and to school. I spent $1600 on a 10 year old Volvo. For two years I did a fairly brutal commute between home/work/school, and drove for close to 3 hours a day. Wasn't great on gas, but it worked just fine. At some point it failed a state inspection and needed a new exhaust and new brake pads and rotors. Shop wanted around $5k. I shopped around and got a (cat-back) exhaust done for < $300 from a local shop, since it's just not something I could do myself. Bought rotors and pads for < $100, and spent some quality time in a parking lot with YouTube videos and a few wrenches.

Heck, I make substantially more money now, and still have a pretty long 45-minute each way commute, with a lot of traffic. My primary vehicle is a $1600 motorcycle, and I _just_ added a truck as a backup (and to tow a track car). Spent $17k on the truck, it's perfectly fine, even looks good. Most I've ever spent on a vehicle by far, and I assume I'll have it for the next decade, at least. I'm driving it 4 hours out into the middle of the desert later today, and I have no worries about reliability.

Bought the truck and every other vehicle I've ever owned in cash. I think that's the big difference between some others and myself. When I could afford only a few grand cash, that's the kind of car I bought.

Honestly hard to feel too sorry for people that "need" a $30k+ car/truck/suv. I think these articles will always ring hollow for anyone that's been in the same situation and opted for a cheap car. Why on earth would you take out that long of a loan on a car that costs you a full year's salary or more?
I worked in OEM electronics since 2007, and spent almost entire career in roles around manufacturing. And yes, when cookie cutter OEM laptops were making money, I did them too.

>LCDs typically use color filters, which in most cases tend not to fade.

The older LCDs were backlit with (cold cathode) fluorescent lamps, and those lamps do fade out and shift in color over time. With those you do want to adjust calibration once in a while. No idea how modern LCD backlit ones fare in longer run.

At one point I've had two decent quality CCFL LCDs set side-by-side; one had about 10'000 hours, the other 40'000 hours. The difference in color (and in brightness) was notable, and not quite possible to get right with the basic RGB calibration provided.
Thank you, this was an interesting read. TIL.
>> The root cause is that 70+ years is laughably high for copyright to last. It should be changed to 10 years with the ability to update every 10 years with a higher cost financially each time.

Sounds like this would just screw the little guy. Warner aren't going to have a problem paying an increasing fee every decade when their works are still bringing in large amounts of money. The people this would hurt are the smaller artists eeking out a living suddenly losing a large chuck of their income.

Maybe the 70 years shouldn't be a fixed number but should vary based on 'sales' each year. Or you lose copyright after a certain 'sales' threshold. That way everyone gets to make a 'fair' amount of money from their works before losing copyright. Easier said than done though.

My 2019 15" mbpro makes quite a bit of noise on login screen with nothing connected to it. It's not a made up issue. USB 2.0 devices disconnect randomly which is a no-go for musicians.

Sailing is a big set of categories. Folks how have a Laser and work that into the ground are rather like surfers. Lasers are all the same. Get out there and sail. When you have worn out your sail, grudgingly buy a new one. Patch the fiberglass in your deck when it needs it.

Folks who have wooden keelboats are about as into working on the boat as they are into sailing the boat. They spend money, but it's not on flashy gear. It's on another five gallons of bottom paint and another box of sandpaper because that varnish has to be redone again. Marketing and brand doesn't really help you sell these or increase margins on them, because a bunch of ratty guys are on the dock comparing how long they had to go between repainting the bottom with that manufacturer versus this one.

Folks who have big glitzy boats as a status symbol spend money, but generally you're not selling to them. You're selling to a designer or to workmen. And all the life jackets are still the same orange ones off the shelf from West Marine or the like.
Yeah, which is why this MacBook Pro line has a non-butterfly keyboard and why they went through three iteration of the butterfly keyboard before giving up on it.

I prefer homework over whiteboard or any on-site coding challenges. I'm really bad under pressure.

But I only do homework after the on-site interview, so I know I really want to work there and they have some "skin in the game" too not just shotgunning random candidates that they never actually planning to hire.

Go purposely "randomizes" order of a map when it's iterated over, which you can see running this demo:

As crawshaw pointed in that discussion, it helps catch people inadvertently relying on map order in tests or other places in their code.

Sfinae special members or support incomplete types: Pick at most one
I'm not clear on how this break existing code.

Code that assumed it was arbitrary, would expect to handle any arbitrary order, including a happens-to-be sorted order.

Code that assumed it was random, like actually inserted by random(), was already broken, because that simply isn't the case.

Code that assumed the order would stay constant was relying on implementation-specific behavior, and could potentially break on any version update; as with any reliance on implementation-specific behavior, you'd break if the dictionary code ever got touched -- even if it were for a bugfix.

Code that ordered the dictionary keys before iterating are now slightly innefficient due to extra work of sorting a sorted list.

I can be very quick and can work diligently (grit my way through a problem) but I struggle with design and some high level concepts.

Interviews ask abstract and theoretical computer sciency type questions and in real life I would usually google my way to a solution on those types of questions, so I do very poorly on the spot. (forget everything or say something dumb)

But in practice I can usually deliver quicker than my teammates on real world problems.

When you are driving 90 minutes in the early morning on busy roads, when everyone around you is just as sleep-deprived as you, you'd like to minimize distractions, so you can pay attention to the road. You really want a good suspension and a silent engine. (I agree about the fuel efficiency, but that's not the whole story.)
The thing I hate about Prime is when I start a movie, it needs subtitles enabled, I go do that, then when I hit the back button, instead of taking me back to the movie, it takes me back to the top-level and they've removed the movie I was just watching, so now I can't find the damn thing! They do that when I start a movie, I don't like it, and I go back; I get that. But the messed-up Back function when enabling subtitles does the same thing. Then I have to scroll through a huge amount of stuff trying to find the "Continue watching" thing.

Other things I don't like about Prime:

- they used to have a setting for "Show Prime only", because I am never going to pay for TV. They removed that and now you have to see all their pay crap.

- if I run across a Prime thing that looks interesting and add it to my watchlist, it might no longer be free when I get around to watching it. This sucks so bad, and I was bitten by it so often, that I no longer use the watchlist feature. It made me too mad.

I have given up trying to watch TV. I was spending half an hour scrolling through menus of crappy movies, then giving up. I won't cancel Prime because I split that with a friend and we both get the 2-day shipping, and I probably won't cancel Netflix because I have 4 other friends on my subscription, but I haven't used either video service for over a month.

I have actually used that technique of watching myself perform a task when trying to improve my workflow for other things, like learning to draw and paint.

I never applied it to programming before but in hindsight it's really obvious, because it's incredibly effective. I use a tool [0] to record a timelapse of the desktop, because after a while watching the recordings in real time slows me down more than it helps. I find that usually when I focus on the task at hand I tend to lose track of time and of what I'm doing and when I get stuck I end up wasting a ton of time doing trial & error instead of taking a break to think things through properly, or switching to something else. This kind of stuff really adds up in the long term.

The walkbalk was discussed on HN this week, which is almost certainly why this a18z blog post was written.
true progressive mode actually gives you something usable before it's fully loaded, to the point where "not fully loading" can be entirely acceptable. If all images load "first iteration" first, you have a stable DOM that won't need to reflow in any way as each image goes through the rest of its progressive layers. And having a nice setting that says "only load up to X on slow networks" and "require image click to load past first iteration" would be godsend, even on gigabit connections. If I could bring the size and load time for modern webpages back down to "maybe a few 10s of kb" and "immediate" rather than "2.9MB and a second or two", I'd happily turn those options on.

Brain tissue stiffness is crucial for neurogenesis
Another audio option I don't see mentioned often is a headset with a boom microphone. Some of my best sounding coworkers have these. They also typically have ambient sound rejection, meaning you can be in a relatively noisy environment (AC) and still sound good.

It's more nefarious and subtle than that.

The trick is that you first get popular among actual surfers. That's a tiny population, the population doesn't like to spend money, it takes expensive R&D, expensive materials, difficult manual assembly for the abusive and difficult environment: not a lot of profit or market cap there.

But the dark pattern that the 'surf industry' have discovered and exploited, is that you then silently pivot to the market of people who wished they looked cool like surfers. That's a much bigger population, they have more money, and they don't care about the materials or performance of the gear.

Starting out as an actual surf business is optional, but encouraged, as it will help you market the story that you make cool surf gear. Skip that step if people will come into your department store anyways, just make the logo look similar to a prominent manufacturer. Similar tactics can be employed effectively in selling just about anything: SUVs and sports cars, ski gear, health food, artistic furniture...
