By specializing. I develop mostly for mobile and also work on smart contract architecture/servers for early stage startups. I don't do any "content-marketing" on LinkedIn, but just reach out to early stage startups seeing if I can help them. In my experience leads are best generated when you have a previous experience that shows to the client that you can develop the architecture/application. Then, if you sit down in an hour or two and hash out what a basic MVP would look like for them, they're confident you can deliver the product because you can explain how it would work on a technical level. Of course, that architecture will most likely change/improve as the product moves along but as long as you can show an iterative and constantly improving approach that's what matters.
These two stack overflow discussions helped me with 'into_iter' and move semantics.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34733811/what-is-the-dif...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30288782/what-are-move-s...

There are two types of ownership operations in Rust: consume/move and borrow.

A consume or a move is transferring ownership. Consume is often used because it makes more sense in most cases as a word than move. The function is consuming or eating the variable so it is no longer available for another function to consume/eat. The term move comes from the formal system behind the borrow checker, the "Affine type system".

Borrowing is fairly self explanatory. The function isn't eating the value, it's just looking at it or in the 'mut' case, is modifying it in some way(if food is a good analogy, think adding seasoning or removing a crust).

As for 'into_iter', it basically can be defined as a move, borrow, and/or mutable borrow. This let's you set rules on how the data type may be used. This way the type can be used in most language constructs naturally with the compiler picking the best version based on the constraints of the program.

Apologies in advance if you weren't looking for an explanation and I misread the room.
I really like it that my bank allows me to refuse payment, or just set the payment limit per company (I would set this to 0). Or I could just delete my virtual MasterCard altogether.

“ For redundancy, I am backing up my computers to 2 separate network storage devices.”

Hopefully he understands that this is not a true backup....he’s basically created a more complex RAID 1 running two NAS...

For example a flood, a House fire, theft, or a power surge is probably going to lose/fry both then everything is gone. This is a perfect example of thinking you have something backed up but if you store it in the same place you just created a more complex RAID 1...

If you want a backup you need to store a copy in a different location preferably a different region because if you put it at your friends house down the road they are also likely to be hit by the same disaster (i.e flood, tornado, hurricane, war, etc.) as you are.

You'd think so, but it's a well known marketing trick that pricing at $399 and $449 will absolutely guarantee more sales of the lower priced item than if priced at $402 and $449.
You're literally just describing security theater. Why would they need to carry MP5s? Because that's what you've seen in movies? MP5s are practically antiques at this point. Not every dude operating a bag scanner needs to be armed for the same reason your IT security doesn't need to be armed. They're not THAT KIND of "security".

Why do they need security clearances? For all that Secret-level intel they're getting briefed on? Or because you're under the impression that clearances are "security-ish"?

You want to mitigate "security theater" by making security wildly more dramatic and aimless. Someone needs to do the basic step of checking bags and passengers. That person does not need to be Jason Bourne.

The comment still holds. Linux should still be considered. I didn't proclaim that it would be a realistic alternative in every case, but I'd wager that for a large proportion of software engineering roles, it would be.

Is there software that may also be suitable for basic image and video editing work and therefore fine for a subset of these creative professionals you refer to? Absolutely. I've seen great results from folks using Blender, Inkscape, OpenShot, GIMP, Krita and others.

In re: math itself, perhaps there is such a thing as a mathematics of the formless (I doubt it but cannot rule it out) but to communicate it you are again reduced to some symbolic form.

> so I think you are just incorrect.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I'm still not 101% convinced, but I think it's true: you can't have information without form.

Check out "The Markable Mark" and "My Stroke of Insight". The act of distinction is the foundation of the whole of symbolic thought, and it is intrinsically a geometric act.

http://www.markability.net

> ... what is to be found in these pages is a reworking of material from the book Laws of Form.

> Think of these pages, if you like, as a study in origination; where I am thinking of 'origin' not in the historical sense but as something more like the timeless grounding of one idea on or in another.

Distinction is a physiological thing the brain does. It can e.g. be "turned off" by physical damage to the brain:

https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_my_stroke_of_ins...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Stroke_of_Insight

> Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor ... tells of her experience in 1996 of having a stroke in her left hemisphere and how the human brain creates our perception of reality and includes tips about how Dr. Taylor rebuilt her own brain from the inside out.

So whether you come at it from the mystical realm of pure thought or the gooey realm of living brains all math is geometric. (As far as I can tell with my gooey brain.)

Cheers!
I think you are refering to Aquion Energy. The company sputtered and was sold to a Chinese equity firm. The product looks like it is dead in the water but, it still was a great idea. The intention was to use the cheapest, safest, and most abundent materials to create a battery. It had low power density and output but, they had a solid lifespan and were environmental sound.

Intel's hardware quality seems to have been a bit iffy these last few years, like they've got complacent. Their latest screw-up is that their 2.5G Ethernet chipset that's meant to be included on higher-end Comet Lake motherboards isn't actually spec-compliant: https://wccftech.com/intel-400-series-chipsets-z490-i225-v-n... Apparently 2.5G Ethernet allows the next packet to be sent 5 byte times after the end of the previous ones, but they incorrectly followed the gigabit spec and required 8 byte times, causing massive packet loss when receiving data from other hardware that follows the spec strictly. A new, non-broken revision is meant to be shipping sometime, but the workaround for customers stuck with the old one is dropping to gigabit speeds.

I think a lot of people go through a life cycle of Computer Modern. I originally was indifferent, but once I learned LaTeX I used it since it was the default and it signaled to people that I knew LaTeX. Now I prefer Utopia/Fourier instead. Computer Modern seems to "thin", in my opinion, but I still use it on occasion. Some colleagues of mine really love it, though.

I can see why some people like it since it's the default font for a lot of technical documents and seeing it often signifies a certain level of "quality". The documents generally look better than Word documents, for example. Moreover, if an author took the time to learn LaTeX, it is easy to assume that they know what they are talking about. This is a form of "honor by association" (opposite of guilt by association fallacy).

It’s an Intel problem in this case because they’ve made most of their performance improvements with 10th gen by adding cores and increasing frequencies. They haven’t made efficiency improvements in architecture or process node. Their TDP has gone up as a result. Intel managed to keep 10th gen from turning a computer case into a kiln by playing with the heat spreader, but it’s a hot part that needs good/expensive cooling.

So while AMD has made big efficiency improvements in the last couple generations, Intel has been losing efficiency.
TFA explains why he didn't use RAID1: "I put in one hard disk per device for maximum redundancy: any hardware component can fail and I can just use the other device.". If the motherboard dies on one device, he still has a working device.

This is relevant to me because I'll likely be teaching Linear Algebra online in the Fall. I'm rethinking support materials from scratch. This article does not rethink its genre from scratch. And I nearly stopped reading, unwilling to take advice from a fixed pitch body font.

I've learned dozens of programming languages, and I find programming books increasingly unreadable. They all give me that feeling of ADHD that actual programming heals.

I've also made progress learning various human languages. No single approach works. Doing crosswords in old age doesn't fight off dementia but does make one better at doing crosswords. For language aquisition, read with the sole goal of getting better at reading. Listen with the sole goal of getting better at listening. Repeat phrases in the car as if that's a self-contained game one plays. Then trust that these separate skills will integrate as one travels; they do.

For anyone who has learned the board game of Go, it's interesting how books on Go are compartmentalized. There are books solely dedicated to short timescale tactics, for example.

After a few programming languages, one can easily absorb the "short timescale tactics" of a programming language, and still be at a loss on idiomatic ways to assemble complete programs. Just as the best mathematicans only read original literature, the best programmers simply read code. A programming book can ease the transition to reading code. We should be clear that this is our primary goal.

One experiences a more intense sensation of comprehension, reading and understanding how a short complete program works, than reading any neverending text that ambles on. Take a cue from human language aquisition: Programming books should deliver a sequence of "aha!" moments of comprehension, teaching language constructs through explanations of a sequence of cleanly separated short complete programs. Their success should be measured in terms of the enjoyability and intensity of the experience of reading code this way. Leave it to the reader to find other ways to put together the rest.
Intellectual property is anti-competitive and monopolistic which is anti capitalistic. It started out as a reward system for authors and inventors. What we now have is an obscenity becauase we are rewarding corporations that neither produce nor invent anything. The legal loophole that a corporation is a person is false. Adam Smith did not have that in mind when he was extolling the virtues of capitalism. We need to force liability based capitalism without personhood and breakup all conglomerates.

> Neutrino informs us that he has already filed a DMCA counternotice with Github to get his project back.

I’m increasingly uncomfortable with the balance of knowledge/power/experience in the counter-notice process. The repo owner is at a huge disadvantage when going up against the experienced and expensive lawyers filing these claims. Even when the law is on the developer’s side it’s almost an unwinnable battle.

Agree but it's not really a dichotomy. From initial conception to final release, you should be researching by iteration. Eventually that means user-testing prototypes, then betas, then RCs.
For me, it's not about having more monitors. It simply about having enough real state to be productive.

It doesn't matter if I use 2 27" 1440 monitors or a 32" inch 4K monitor.

Some folks like having shiny hardware and it’s partly a hobby rather than a need in almost certainty barring specific niche professional needs. I upgrade my workstation setup quite rarely because my work provided laptop is what I use 90%+ of the time. Top of the line is one thing (Xeons and Threadrippers or EPYC) but pretty powerful cost effective CPUs like a 3900X or 9900k are another. Even though I do ML stuff occasionally I still do it as a useless hobby and it’s not worth bumping up to a Threadripper or a crazy GPU, especially when I can use a cloud machine for a fraction of the price and as a bonus force myself to make it somewhat repeatable and deployable for someone else.

If one’s been building machines in the past year or so, we’ve just had the biggest performance gains in CPUs in literally 10 years with the latest AMD CPUs. I went a long time with an E3-1230 but got really bored honestly after 5 years and built an i7-4790k ITX machine which wasn’t as big of a change as going from 8GB of RAM to 16 GB or to my first SSD. I got a 3900X this past year and the substantial performance gains are not a big enough reason for me to upgrade yet again compared to something like the new Ampere GPUs for even hobby machine learning purposes like mine. In the future a bigger reason for me to build again would be based around space efficiency reasons where a small case could fit on top of my desk and drive 4K AAA games, encode HEVC video day and night, and all with a 600w SFX PSU.
