I cannot say I've ever needed to know the charge-rate mode from across the room.

I can say though that I've wanted to be able to plug a device in on both the left and right depending on location and usage. I really wouldn't want to lose that functionality for this, particularly when a simple software toggle is more flexible long term anyway.

9 times out of 10 I am going to use the same charge mode at the same physical location (e.g. at home, slow, at work fast). That would be the real killer feature, geo-fenced software toggle that knows where I am and what mode I previously used here.
This sounds like a revisioning system would help a lot. Have a quarterly or annual release cycle or something, so that when you want to compare performance across techniques, you just train both of them to the same target (and ideally all the papers coming out at roughly the same time would already be using the same revision anyway).

You'd always work with a versioned release when training models, and you'd only typically work with HEAD when you were specifically looking to correct flaws in the data (as the authors in the linked article are).

It's not much different than stadia or nvidia geforce(?).

I played online multi player games. If you have a 144hz gsync/freesync monitor. Then this isn't meant for that. But it was totally playable.

The weak portion is you're beholden to your internet. Traveling for work it didn't work at all. Most places I stayed had very slow internet and then the latency became unplayable.

I see this as a completely viable option if you're on Linux, or Mac and want to game every now and then. Or if you're waiting for a new GPU to come out and still want to game.
Exceptions aren't the only way to handle error. Rust leverages algebraic types to good effect, for example.

You refuse to see any issue with the usage.

One has to wonder how many of the 'high' performers (especially in software industry) are just people extremely good at drawing visibility to their work vs their peers who might not be having such 'skills'.
That midnight trick worked for awhile but now they release slots mostly during the day.
I got a top spec 15 MBP a year ago and I have to say the experience is appalling - 4000$ device that goes full airplane takeoff levels of noise at any serious workload, no ability to control performance (I would gladly throttle the CPU sooner to avoid everyone in the office turning my way when I start an emulator or keep the fans at lower RPM but constantly instead of letting the CPU idle at 60-70 degrees with no fans).

All of this could be fixed if the device gave me power settings but even third party paid tools that require custom kernel extensions (Volta) still don't work reliably.

My next computer is not going to be from Apple for sure.
This is a great way to confuse 99% of customers. It also violates the idea that all 4 ports are identical, and also poses a problem if the user has stuff in the other ports because now they need to swap multiple cables every time they want to change charge behavior.
Ah, I hadn't thought of rust. Good call. My experience with the tops of my table saw and band saw is that as long as they were ground pretty smooth originally, they don't really pit and I can scrape the superficial rust off and have a pretty good surface. They were, however, stored inside-ish. I could see a barn find in bad shape suffering a lot more than that.

I love the look of the old W-T stuff too, but I've somehow become a Delta man for the stationary tools, probably because of the ubiquity of their old stuff. None of mine is old enough to have the really nice castings. My Unisaw is from '78, and it has the sheet metal base rather than the old cast one. My 14" band saw is (I think) pre-war, but the original buyer didn't spring for the cast art-deco base :-(

Do you have pictures or a build thread on this project? I'd love to see it. And kudos to you for doing the paint and cosmetic stuff. There is nothing I hate more than doing paint.

My Unisaw is covered in years of (somebody else's) overspray. I've stripped it off the chromed fence rails because it was interfering with it working, but the cabinet? Screw it. I can live with it. My 14" drill press, however was flaking off (somebody else's) 3 or more poorly applied coats onto me and anything I drilled. I stripped and repainted that, but that's how bad it has to be for me to entertain painting. The paint job is not what anybody would call flawless, but at least it isn't coming off :-D
I had to spend some time searching myself. I used to use Comodo's free certs back when they were still called Comodo. All these changes seem to have made things difficult.
This is a new world to me... I'm looking to learn a GPU intensive application like Davinci Resolve before committing to a new machine to run it locally -- would this be an appropriate solution, and would it obviate the need for the local machine, i.e. can I do everything on this that I could do locally?
As far as I know, 100 % in the Activity Manager is one hyperthread fully busy, regardless of clock. It doesn't seem too unlikely that Zoom takes that from the equivalent API, divides it by the number of seen virtual cores to convert it to some measure of "overall CPU load", and reports it as usage. It's not a good measure, but an explanation. (And as you point out boosting happens, so the "55%" reported by Activity Manager is already not all that good)
I had a bug opened against evolution for something like a decade because it defaulted to using plaintext in replies to S/MIME encrypted emails. So it's far from only a PGP UX thing.

I'm still not sure they've fixed it... I haven't checked for several years now.
How do you correlate those errors at the application level? If only 1% of sproc calls are the new sproc, any elevated error rates in the application will be hard to see over typical noise.
This could actually work for Apple devices, because no one compares them against other laptops by specs.

Although they would be compared against last gen macs. Saying "Battery is half the size" would need some marketing polish, implying that it's lighter or something.
Credit card payments have an appeals/dispute resolution process.

Many IRC communities have shrunk. Different reasons. Things like Discord and mumble, combined with more collaboration and multiplayer competition in games took gamers away from IRC and crippled networks like Gamesurge.

Social media, especially things like Twitter and the various short video sharing services took away the "general chat" demographic -- partially because folks who were closer (real-life friends and family) like to feel closer, and folks who are not tend to be younger, and the younger demographic trends towards newer technologies.

Tech stuff has held up on freenode for a while, but as you point out this isn't always the case. I would argue that freenode is probably safe from too much decline for a while yet -- those of us who are "aging people who once used [IRC] in its prime" (I'm 36, guy, "aging" is a bit harsh :)) also tend to be people with a lot of experience in $technical_topic. If you want to ask questions about $technical_topic, and the people with experience are on IRC, that's where you go.

You've pointed out a lot of Javascript-related stuff is not on IRC. Javascript is a relatively new technology (compared to IRC), Node is relatively newer, and Elm newer yet. The boom in web technologies, and the ability to run native applications written in JS has caused that community to surge. It's also relatively easier to get into Javascript than it is to get into (say) C. So you attract more people, and you're going to attract younger people, and you're going to have a really diverse audience for a wide range of topics. All of a sudden a single channel on a chat network doesn't make much sense anymore, and running an IRC network yourself doesn't seem like fun, so you decide to use Discord or Slack. I think this makes a lot of sense for lots of communities.

For other (especially smaller, or very niche) technical communities, IRC is still a good solution. It's not fair to say that "its lunch has been eaten" -- it'll remain relevant until text-based messaging is no longer the most accessible way to communicate. But there are other, different solutions for similar problems that do a better job of catering to specific audiences. And that's just fine.

Unfortunately, it's kind of a PITA to get unique counts from server stats, which are mostly aggregates. So I can't answer that question. But Freenode's a rather active network.
I wrote games when I was around 10 years old.

I was very proud when I figured out how to calculate if two axis-aligned rectangles intersect. The most complex equation I knew then, and I did not have internet to look it up.
I've been explained that this is because those computers might need more power than the AC Charger is able to provide, so the battery is also used as a "backup" for burst loads. This [1] seems to confirm it.

Credit card chargebacks have an appeals / dispute resolution process. SEPA does not.
The flip side is that in the UK where you book a slot and then fill up your cart, there are a lot of people cancelling their carts at the last minute and wasting delivery bandwidth. Of course that has its own fixes but basically this system worked fine until a few weeks ago so everyone is playing catch up.

Don't you have to claim that you are negatively affected by COVID to get it? But I guess arguably everyone can claim that to some degree.
I agree that policy makers bear primary culpability; but that doesn't absolve you morally for your individual choices. This is not "free money", in the sense of "I found a $100 bill on the street"; it comes from the sweat of taxpayers, both present and future. (In self-interested terms, it also doesn't absolve a company from harm to their brand and reputation, if/when it becomes public that they accepted a bailout they didn't need.)
There are more hospitals and health workers doing nothing now globally (and no, I am not ignoring the outliers here, like Lombardy, Madrid, London, New York, I’m talking about the rest of the world), waiting for a wave that never came, even though everyone was 2 weeks behind Italy in the last 2 months. Cancer patients, people with other serious issues are being ignored now, if one of your parents had a condition that is not being treated any more, you might see things differently.
> Why not just get rid of built-in batteries entirely

Built-in batteries allow for custom battery shapes that increase battery life or allow for thinner computers at the same battery life. They increase laptop durability by not requiring a removable battery cover. They allow for putting other components on top of the battery as well to better take advantage of the space inside the enclosure.

How does it do that?

Understandable, but it becomes a gold rush if people with normal immune systems use sites like yours to reserve slots. My only real suggestion is that your site call out the moral dilemma to users.

Basically our only choice now is to use a service like this (which I guess I will now do; yes you do cover our area) or book slots weeks in advance (this is what we have been doing with limited success).

Honestly we are very lucky; services like this make me more concerned for people in situations like my wife's, but who are not married to a programmer who is aware that you need a f*king web scraper to get groceries now.

Apologies if my frustration is visibly surfacing there; I know y'all are just trying to do your best to help with this situation and so I want to provide you with some honest feedback. I would also like to make clear that I'm not suggesting your service is a net negative. Thank you for your efforts.
I would have shared the same sentiment.

I never came across a logger, though, when I was still active on IRC. Are loggers a more recent (as in this millenium) development?
כן כן כן
If only one core is used, percentage of a core used is a misleading measure, because the CPU will boost the speed of that core, and have it use a way larger part of the power budget for the CPU (because the other cores do not need the power, and modern CPUs, especially in laptops, are almost always limited to some overall power usage limit by how much their cooling system can do)
Great comment, I find that many influencer types aren't actually capable of doing the jobs of their juniors and reasoning about low level systems. Promotion systems don't differentiate between having influence and having good influence. Also, sometimes the hard problems that have the most impact and real org wide influence aren't at the visible influencer level, but instead related to low level "grunt work" problems. A lot of the principal engineer and sr engineering manager types aren't actually worth their salt and can't solve hard problems, instead relying on others to do the work and then participating in high level meetings so they can take the credit.

This is specifically "desktop as a service" so while there may be Xen or Horizon in the mix it is abstracted away from the customer. The established competitors are Amazon Workspaces and Azure Virtual Desktop.
Why do you need to use a Virtual Computer when you already have a laptop/desktop you use to connect to this Virtual Computer? What am I missing? Is it only for folks connecting from Chromebooks?
Apple has been doing this with iOS already, the only thing that surprises me is that they've waited so long before doing it with laptops.

Clearview is bad. And I haven't dug into the supporting materials for this story at all. But it's disquieting that this story appears to include sensitive private information obtained through security research and released directly to a media outlet, including camera footage apparently taken from a compromised cloud storage bucket. That's not how security research works.
At his wife’s urging, Michalak went to the University of Chicago Medicine hospital on Friday, April 3....and recovered enough to be discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, April 7.

I've checked instacart, amazon, and a couple local stores for delivery/pickup slots. there's no place on any of the web forms to indicate that you would be eligible for a priority slot, and I haven't found any news articles to suggest otherwise. my seventy-year-old parents are also unaware of any way to get priority slots, so I am assuming they don't exist. my impression is that the stores consider "elderly hour" to be an adequate solution.

About that:

Hosting a lecture in a university physics department [Oxford] without inviting any physicists is, at best, an unforgivable oversight. As my colleague Subir Sarkar put it, “It’s surprising that the organisers did not invite the particle physicists to attend – if indeed the intention was to have a discussion.”[1]

If the theory is to be anything but a dalliance he really needs to engage in conversation. Weinstein may be right, or his ideas may very well stimulate other ideas in the field. But the hard work of debate and discovery comes first, afterwards the headlines.

I am surprised that privacy aware companies are not using IRC more for their intra company chat, and that none invested in a webcam voice chat client for IRC. Even the most basic server can handle thousands of clients.

>(3), refunds aren't free for Stripe, and we were previously in a position where businesses with a lot of refunds were being subsidized by those who didn't. We want to give this margin away more sensibly.

I understand they're not free, but I also understand Stripe does get a considerable portion back that they are no longer passing on?

Couldn't this just have been applied to the problematic businesses then rather than all?

One of my favorite "laptop DJ" moments -

I saw Brock Hampton at a festival in 2018. Hadn't heard of them before, and they were described to me as a boy band so I had low expectations. Their performance was bizarrely wonderful - they were all painted blue and wearing orange jumpsuits. Anyways, they have a DJ with a Macbook and a bunch of rappers. At one point mid-song they have a bar of silence, and I swear I saw the DJ lean forward and hit spacebar to pause the track and then resume it after.
I don't think the ability to signal users from across the room is a use-case that Apple is designing for, or one they would ever consider. And even if it was, this metric is likely not high priority.

Design continuity is often more important for usability than the number of features, and Apple especially priorities this.
So I guess you can server your customer. ️
Looks interesting though
FWIW, one thing you could usefully do is have someone double-check the code snippets in the online guides. They looked very helpful (and much needed) when I was reading them recently, but I remember almost immediately running into examples where something just didn't make sense. Then if I followed through to the corresponding code in the samples repo, it really was slightly different to what was shown in the guide on your docs site. The guide to setting up a new subscription using the new API definitely had some instances of that problem. The more recent guides would also benefit from more explanation of why the sequence of actions shown was what it was and what each API or webhook used was actually for. Either that or some concise, big picture overview would be good (or ideally both).
I don't know how this other point should factor in, but in software especially:

Unlike in other types of say, physical labor where a top performer is just a few (X) more productive than the average performer -- in software, a top performer can be orders of magnitude (10-100X) more productive / more creative than the average worker.

I don't know what exactly contributes to this (intangible knowledge turning into action much more concretely, ability to avoid important pitfalls much more capably, ability to demonstrate correctly much quicker, no dependency on physical action, etc), but I have observed this to be a phenomenon.
What can happen?
I doubts purescript or any other hindley milner type system has proper union (not sum) types. As far as I see one of the advantages of typescript is that it is fine with some degree of unsoundness if it mean better ergonomics.

If your chair allows it, lean back.

A new study suggests that sitting upright for hours at a time -- for example, when working at a computer -- may lead to chronic back pain. Instead, the best position for your back is somewhat reclined, sitting at a 135-degree angle rather than the 90-degree angle most office chairs are designed for.
