Actually, I’d be surprised if any of those were good candidates. Turbine blades in jet engines aren’t even machined now - they are grown out of inconel. Valves are highly dependent on surface finish and frequently multi-material setups - e.g. o rings.

Not to make light of matching costs, but in the scheme of getting a part made, even of tool steel, the overall contribution of the materials is usually not super high. Machine time, tool bits, and design work are all MUCH more costly.
If handled maturely, TODOs can be written permission to other devs to make wholesale changes to parts of code you wrote without any social awkwardness.

When I was young and had a smaller toolbox, refactoring was right at the top, and people ended up “giving” me modules they had written because within a few months they didn’t recognize their code anymore (especially if they were busy elsewhere). It was great for my professional development, at first, but a developer’s scale is limited to how many responsibilities they can juggle. Older me, with a larger toolbox, also sees that maybe there weren’t so happy to hand over their work like that.

Don’t fix absolutely everything that you know how to fix. Leave people hungry for more. That invites new contributors and keeps the old ones engaged for longer.

I had a good friend in college who was a Lit major and so I got a steady stream, sometimes direct, other times by osmosis, of motivational philosophy for creatives. Apparently Hemingway, in an interview about how to maintain momentum, said you should stop writing when you know what happens next. When you pick it up again you always have something you know how to do.

If someone else beats you to it, then they end up with more ownership of that code, allowing you to focus on other things.
Neat stuff. I did the same thing for my father living alone, but with the Amazon IoT Button.
I need to be explicit - it's timed to both time and deliverables. 40 hours of productive work - productivity is defines and delivering value to the customer. The customer can be internal.

We don't work overtime and only one person is on call (wait time is paid at time and a half) on Saturday.
In this whole thread, there's not one mention of the word "scarcity". Blockchain allows for digital scarcity. For me, the problems that blockchain solves, it solves through the creation and enforcement of real digital scarcity.

I find that it's not hard to imagine some problems that exist due to the lack of digital scarcity (pre-blockchain). I invite you to open your mind and imagine some for yourself.

I think you'll learn something from 3brown1blue's youtube video on simulating different intervention techniques. It's from a few weeks ago, but it very clearly shows how valuable contact tracing is, during any stage of the outbreak.
I'm looking to add video to something i'm working on and I'm trying to understand daily.co's API cost and I'm coming up with some crazy numbers.

Their formula for participant-minutes = N * minutes.
Cost = $0.004

Say you have 200 calls with an average of 5 people for 24 hours.

numberOfMinutesInDay = (24 * 60)
Cost = $0.004

((200 * 5) * numberOfMinutesInDay) * cost = 5,760

$5,760 daily cost for 1000 users sitting for 24 hours???
Is this health care's year of linux? I have been working around remote video telehealth since the late 90s. It has always been right around the corner.

Small-to-Medium Scale AI Data Brokerage – Gathering, Refining and Selling
"In a readout system such as ours the network only consists of a data sender and a data receiver with an optional switch connecting them. Thus the only places where congestion occurs are at the sender or receiver. The readout system will typically produce data at near constant rates during measurements so congestion at the receiver will result in reduced data rates by the transmitter when using TCP."

At that point a better paper title would have been "Increasing buffers or optimizing application syscalls to receive 10 GB/s of data" as it has nothing to do with achieving reliable UDP transmission, which it doesn't even seem they needed:

"For some detector readout it is not even evident that guaranteed delivery is necessary. In one detector prototype we discarded around 24% of the data due to threshold suppression, so spending extra time making an occasional retransmission may not be worth the added complexity"

As far as actual reliable UDP testing at high speeds one might also want to consider the test scenario as not all Ethernet connections are equal. The 2 meter passive DACs used in this probably achieve ~10^-18 bit error rate (BER) or 1 bit error in every ~100 petabytes transferred. On the other hand go optical even with forward error correction (FEC) it's not uncommon to expect transmission loss in the real world. E.g. looking at something a little more current https://blogs.cisco.com/sp/transforming-enterprise-applicati... is happy to call 10^-12 with FEC "traditionally considered to be 'error free'" which would have likely resulted in lost packets even in this 400 GB transfer test (though again they were fine with up to 24% loss in some cases so I don't think they were worried about reliable as much as reading the paper title would suggest).

Generally if you have any of these:
1) unknown congestion
2) unknown speed
3) unknown tolerance for error

You'll have to do something that eats CPU time and massive amounts of buffers for reliability. If you need the best reliability you can get but you don't have the luxury of retransmitting for whatever reason then as much error correction in the upper level protocol as you can afford from a CPU perspective is your best bet.

If you want to see a modern take on achieving reliable transmission over UDP check out HTTP/3.
Can your post be read as "In the near future, we might have the possibility of inspecting/re-programming a bunch of DMA--capable devices commonly found in systems"?

That would be great. I shudder to think what horrors may await us in USB-/Wifi-/Network-controller bit-streams/firmwares. But the sooner these things get opened, the better.
Oh not sure about that. Haven't encountered one to date.
I think the word you are looking for is duty, not debt.
Pro tip: if you live in California, there's something called IGETC, which is a set of GE classes you can take at a community college. Look up the equivalent in your state.

Once you do that, you don't have to take GE classes at most UCs and CSUs.

Transfer students typically take IGETC classes at community college, which is what allows them to graduate in 2 years once they transfer.

I realized I could take these classes while in high school and so I finished all my IGETC classes while in high school. It did a middle college program my senior year, but even if I didn't I probably could still finished IGETC, by taking community college classes online and using AP scores.

This allowed me to graduate in 2.5 years from UC Berkeley with a CS degree. I didn't have to take any GE classes at all in college (though of course I could've if I wanted to). I then paid off my student debt after a couple months of starting my first job.

This is the best of both worlds: don't spend two years at a CC (which was never too fun for me) and also graduate early from whatever college you go to.

This trick worked for me because I knew from the start I wanted to go to Cal or another UC. If my goal was to go to a private or Ivy League school, this wouldn't have worked.

I do kind of regret not applying to Stanford or any Ivy League schools, but I think going hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to go to a more prestigious school, and having to stay there longer, just isn't worth it. I would've gone to Cal even if I got into these schools for this reason.

Especially as someone who wants to start a startup, this much debt will make you a lot less willing and able to take risks.
I think the analogy says more about the person using it than the actual topic. If it was appropriate to compare people with... well... cows? Why not slaughter the lot and start over? Or take the stupid analogy to the next level and talk crop engineering? There! The solution has been staring us in the face all along.... or wait...
I was not saying that. I was just disagreeing with the statement that Sweden is over its intensive care capacity.

On the other hand, as a Swede I feel that we ARE playing it pretty safe. Some of the measures other countries are taking seems extreme to me.
Honestly I could not be less interested about these censorship companies.
Yes but they didn't do anything to make UDP reliable they just said in our test scenario we didn't notice any loss at the application layer after increasing the socket receive buffer and called it a day because elsewhere in the paper they noted "For some detector readout it is not even evident that guaranteed delivery is necessary. In one detector prototype we discarded around 24% of the data due to threshold suppression, so spending extra time making an occasional retransmission may not be worth the added complexity."

I think the paper meant "reliable" in a different way than most would take "reliable" to mean on a paper about networking similar to if someone created a paper about "Achieving an asynchronous database for timekeeping" and spent a lot of time talking about databases in the paper but it turns out by "asynchronous" they meant you could enter your hours at the end of the week rather than the moment you walked in/out of the door.
Having end-to-end control of their topology in production is the measure they're using to make it reliable. Since they're saturating the link the receiver parameters are reasonably robust, the sender physically cannot burst any faster and overrun the receiver.

Retransmit-based systems are probably unusable in this application, even over the short hop the bandwidth-delay product is probably much bigger than the buffer on the sensor. The only case where retransmit would be happen is receiver buffer overflow, which is catastrophic: the retransmit would cause even more overflow.

If you had to fix random packet loss in a system like this you wouldn't want to use retransmission, you'd need to do FEC.
I am genuinely interested in an answer to this question, even tho it will sound like a troll.

If people want to sideload apps and such, which explicitly hacks around the system designed by Apple, why are they using Apple devices (which are notoriously locked down and restricted to "Apple's way") in the first place? Why not use Android or something else where that sort of thing is designed for?

Same kind of question for jailbreakers. Isn't the desire to jail break indicative that you want a more flexible platform? Why wouldn't you use something else besides Apple?
PEP8. Do you speak it?

I think the Bash vs Perl example there is not exactly fair, since in Perl you're not assigning to ls_output first. You could do the same in bash, and it's arguably just as expressive:

(( `ls | wc -l` > 100 )) && echo "many files" || echo "few files"
Could you compare your book to ``Scala for the impatient´´?,

The latest i9 NUCs look like a great Mac Mini replacement if they're Hackintoshable. Although they seem to be quite pricey.
And how many ignored JS errors do you see when you look on the web console? Don’t you want a little more robustness on the backend?

I’ve never in 30 years of development needed to make an adhoc dynamic language for a large system. I use Python for simple scripts and JS because you have to for the browser.
We can roughly estimate how long that will take if we stay at R=1. That's maybe 100k new infections monthly in germany. Meaning it takes ~40 years to reach 60%. (83000k*0.6/100k/12)

Maybe it's less if you can get more aggressive with more immunity, but even if I'm wrong by a factor of 10 it's still years and the vaccine is the more realistic bet.
Couldn't find a better page, but according to a past version of wikipedia table[1], as of Mar 31, Japan had tested 32,497 people. The US had tested 1,108,500; South Korea, 410,564.

A lot of people were perplexed by Japan's lack of testing. Seems like Japan's strategy (whatever it was) didn't work out in the end.

They keep announcing this as if it's a new thing but it has been in beta for a couple of years. If/when they are serious about this being a real communication channel between companies and customers they should provide a simple API and registration process like Twilio.

I occasionally see blogs shared here go down with an error message "Error establishing a database connection". I guess they are WordPress sites with too much database connection within a timeframe.

I talked about (Phoenix/TS) LiveView with a friend recently. His immediate response is it sounds "not scalable" because "the server is not abusing the clients as slave". I want to see how many clients could a single node serve without any tricks on clustering, load balancing, e.t.c.
>How often do you hear stuff like this from random strangers?

Regularly - when the critic feels the object of their derision is out of earshot.

Parents presume what feedback they get and they're usually right.
Yeah, does anyone know of a hosted solution?
Exactly my thoughts, Fedora should be given a try. I've had it on a number of laptops and desktops, and for the last few years for sure everything has just worked (tm).
Anecdotally, I felt like 4 years at a university was not enough time to really grasp the college experience.

Also maybe a lot of American students aren’t aware of this, but there are many “needs based” government scholarships out there that can make your state university effectively free to attend. I attended a state university from 08-12 and didn’t pay a dime, thanks to the Pell Grant and some needs-based scholarships from my state (Arizona Assurance).

It seems like the rough spot with regards to paying for college is being too rich to qualify for the needs-based scholarships and too poor to have your parents be able to afford everything. For that, I sympathize and would probably recommend the community college approach.
I wonder who will make the large investments necessary for new research if as soon as something is figured out, it is quickly copied and the investment is lost. Particularly with new drugs, etc (though the cost of new drugs hurts my family, so I’m not in favor of those expenses, but I’m grateful someone did the expensive research).
Cool this was what I was looking for: basically confirmed system build that works rather than struggling to assemble a bunch of parts and making them work.
Eh, seems like the opposite. So many people are both skeptical of surveillance and ignorant of technical implementation that no matter how secure/anonymous it is they will FUD about it and think the advertising is lies. And all the other people who don’t care about existing tracking will continue to not care.
Interesting, I'll have to look at it. My T480 Clover hackintosh needs a rebuild because battery status broke and it hangs randomly every 15 minutes-3 days. It may have something to do with the Samsung 970 Pro 1TB. I have no idea about DSDT, so I'm going to have to dive in and debug that mess.
That didn't stop some Eastern European countries from mandating their use in public and an industry quickly emerged around that.
Do your know why the Spanish Flu was called this way ? Because Spain was one of the few countries not involved in WWI, and then didn't had the strong level of censorship that was ubiquitous at this time.

Pressure to obfuscate the impact of the epidemic where way higher then.
>What's the downside to going to a community college? Where I grew up the credits were transferable.

Depends on the quality of the school. If it's a top school then transferring can be difficult, you lose on networking opportunities (with students and professors), potential internships/summer research and arguably get a weaker education (although, true, it matters less the first couple years). I've taken courses at a community college and at a top school, the later was much more rigorous and fast moving.
I've had my Hackintosh for six years now and it's been fairly stable. It's sometimes done a bit of freezing up after a boot and I'm used to something failing after I've had the system running for a while. Like after 30-60 days of uptime, the audio stack might just stop working and I need to reboot the computer to get audio back. Not really a big deal and I'm really happy with how much computer I got for a thousand euro back in 2014.
Every single one of the past five presidents?
I’m what would be considered a major donor to the YIMBY effort and I’ve donated in the low 5 figures.

It’s generally grass roots though I know some wealthy individuals have donated much more of the total funds.

The progressive camp of SF politics often tries to discredit the YIMBY movement by claiming AstroTurf. But it’s simply not true.

This was started by motivated individuals who started organizing and then went and started looking for donations.

The reality of SF housing politics is all the “local control” has given a lot of power to local groups that can hold a new development hostage. So developers have to essentially pay them off with “community benefit” to keep each group from delaying your project through years of appeals.

This sets up a system where a small number of developers have the relationships and know how to work the system to get their projects done. Limits local construction competition.

We also have local politicians (Aaron Peskin) who own significant amounts of rental properties, and find ways of opposing new housing supply. A policy they directly and personally benefit from.
As I'm currently thinking about also going this route I do have some questions, if I may. Could you elaborate what your hardware setup is? Do you have two screens, and two powerful GPUs? Or do you use a HDMI Switch for one screen? Basically, how do you cope with the hardware limitations of GPU Passthrough

(I briefly looked into using a single GPU for passthrough, which seems possible but involved rewriting the GPU rom and I'm not going to do that :)
Nice!!! I am very grateful. Thank you for sharing! I did not know you could solve it like so. And yes, this is very expressive!
That's a fair point, I can only react on the information I'm aware of (what I have seen is that if the economic situation in gets any worse, this lockdown will be far worse than the disease itself).

What you describe does sound like an awful lack of responsibility and that I do disagree with.
These are true. But also, I think some of the weirdness is that a lot of people only do this once, struggle, and then move on. So the forums are full of people trying to find others with the same problem which none of them understand.
A turning point in my understanding of S Curves came when I encountered an article that showed an S Curve as the cumulative area under a normal distribution.

Which is great if your velocity on the project retains a normal distribution over time. But missing requirements, bad risk analysis, and team dynamic changes can make for a long velocity tail.

Which means the last 10% of the project accounts for the other 90% of the project time.

If however you have managed to do the important work first, you drop less important features and ship 95% of the planned features on time.
They are called books.
3brown1blue had a youtube video a few weeks ago, running simulations. The effect of contact tracing and testing is significant. Granted, it's just a simulation, but the efficacy of contact tracing + testing is quite powerful.

This is often true in statistics also. It's high time monte carlo was brought earlier in the curriculum. It's the gift that keeps giving.
I've already built a little tooling around pull requests and git commits at autodesk and so when I read this, I thought, oh, yeah, that's a great idea, I should do that.

But here's the thing. Our team already has a policy for TODOs: either you open a ticket and leave the ticket number in the code, or you do not leave a todo at all.

This way, we're never guessing which ticket belong to which todo, and all of the necessary context (including what spawned the todo, why it may or may not have been a good idea, etc) can be present with the code.

I think in this case, the policy is a better system than just randomly opening tickets. It increases the barrier to entry if you are going to leave a TODO (versus leaving it out or just not being lazy and doing it), and prevents the backlog from needing even more grooming.
That's per day of skiing, and a lot of ski trips are more than one day.

This doesn't take individual behavior into account though. A lot of people are skiing more cautiously than the insane risk takers who kill themselves in avalanches or falls in deep woods or backcountry. Also, the driving to the ski resort is likely to be more dangerous than regular driving because you're more likely to encounter icing, snow on the road, and low visibility conditions.

All in my guess would be that the driving is more dangerous for most skiers.
I created a tool (bumbailiff) that allows a team to accrue a limited amount of debt, for a limited period of time. Then it fails the build.

>They both result in degrees, but they serve (mostly) different communities of people.

Right - and if you're a recent high school grad with the grades to go to a good state school (not just Berkeley or whatever) and a desire to be around your peers while fully dedicating yourself to your education, you're not really in the target audience for community college.
I agree. Seen this a lot in animal rescue. But not only there.
