We used them in a B2B setting when signing an enterprise data contract for nationwide real estate MLS data, including photos. The photo's needed to be uploaded to our S3 bucket and the only method available to download was via FTP. It made more sense to ask the third party provider to download the images to these disks, send them to us, and then we shipped them to AWS.
FYI: The Dell P2415Q does have 4K60hz over HDMI as long as you get one manufactured recently. They did a silent spec bump in 2017 or 2018 or so. I use a number of these and while they are still slightly buggy, I've found them much better in that department than the UP2414Q.

I found that one from the previous and the first thing I noticed was that it's selling a product.

I think it's a pretty sweet geeky project that I might consider buying - but selling the product definitely seems to be the primary goal.
My guess is that they are using that for the working money of the business, that they keep only for a week or a month. (A 2000% annual inflation is almost 5% daily, so if you have to keep the money for two days it is better to convert to something else even if the conversion has a 10% spread.)

For long term storage, my guess is that they get some real dollars and keep them under the mattress or buy some real state.

[We never had here in Argentina this level of inflation for a so long time, so I have to guess. It is weird, because most of the time I can just say "Been there, done that.", but this is an exception.]

Not a hash at dev, but my understanding is that historically, AMD has had "more raw power" GPUS then Nvidia - but has historically suffered worse driver and game implementations. This is even though the 1000x series by Nvidia, AMD cards were usually still the most used cards for crypto mining (which is basically a hash function)

As CUDA only really runs on Nvidia hardware, it makes sense that they might be motivated to be as compatible as possible.
I had a 34" 4K monitor in 2019, and it was a mess in Windows 10. I sold it and picked up an ultra-wide, 38" 3840x1600 (~109 PPI) and I couldn't be happier. I agree that a "good" monitor is a necessity, but I disagree with OP that "good" = 4K 120 Hz.

With any legacy application, and even many modern ones, UIs were either fuzzy, or tiny, or a mix of the two, even with all of the Windows per-program custom high-DPI settings tweaked. The UX was not consistent enough to be enjoyable, so I ditched it.

Perhaps that's because C pointers are usually (always?) exactly that - a hard coded char array, which starts at memory offset 0.

Depending on the circumstances, it may be easier to think about it as int array, or some other type, but the easiest on-ramp for pointers is still char[] = 0x0.

Anyone know why Java's object hash is even on the list given how small it is? It's not even mean to be cryptographically secure.
Yes, exactly, all of this.

I remember learning Java when I was beginning programming and told that it was "pass by reference except for primitive types which are copied", when that's a total lie! It's not pass by reference at all. I think they said this because C++ copies objects (or nowadays, moves them) when you pass them as arguments (unless you pass by ref), and they wanted to make the distinction with C++ (i.e. "Java doesn't copy objects when you pass them to functions"). But it's done a terrible disservice to the entire industry confusing programmers for years by using the term "pass-by-reference", which has an entirely different meaning.

What people mean when they say "Java is pass-by-reference" is that "if you pass a mutable object to a function, the function can mutate it". But that's not the same thing at all.

If you don't want to spend 30+ minutes a pop sterilizing everything, you can always go the homebrewer's route and pick up a bottle of Starsan, a food-grade sanitizer.

A bottle lasts for quite some time, and if you make the solution with distilled water, its shelf-life is quite a bit longer. When you want to sanitize something, just throw the dilution into a spray bottle and spray down your containers and wait for 30 seconds - no rinse needed.

Just a thought to save time for those who might be doing this often.
This is all very interesting. I've recently, and very seriously considered getting a medium sized UHDTV (say, 40-50") to use as a display. The purpose of this would mostly be to render very high resolution photos while keeping more of the image visible at full resolution than is possible on a smaller screen.

Anybody actually gone and done this?
Incidentally, I've been sleeping polyphasically for some time now. Of course, there have been no real studies done on polyphasic sleep and it must be taken on anecdotal evidence alone. However, I don't feel any ill effects after a year. My schedule is tamer than others, however; the Everyman 2 consists of a 4.5 hour core sleep and two 20 minute naps [0]. Schedules like Uberman (six 20 minute naps equidistant in time, every 4 hours), Dymaxion, Tesla, and other nap-only sleeps do not seem to be stable, at least for most people who are not genetically mutated to sleep less [1].

There are quite some pros as well, such as more time for one; instantly falling asleep (got rid of my insomnia); removal of substances such as alcohol, marijuana, and caffeinated drinks like coffee; and lucid dreams with nearly every sleep. The latter is very useful for me as I can test out ideas in dreams and see how they could fare, a sort of omnipotent virtual reality.

The fact that many think polyphasic sleep is only Uberman or other nap-based schedules with ~2 hour total sleep time is disappointing to see. There are other schedules on that site that are far tamer, such as Everyman 1: sleep 6 hours at night, one 20-min nap during the day, which you could do on a lunch break. There are whole gradations from 9 hours (two 4.5 hour sleeps, not necessarily reduction of total sleep time, but it gives better sleep for some) to Uberman or Tesla (~2 hour total sleep time), which by the way is not known to be stable over a longer time period, a fact that the polyphasic community willingly accepts.

It is particularly disappointing to see because, as another commenter said, I'd like to see more research on sleep and perhaps synthesizing its effects into a compound, but if people dismiss these alternate sleep schedules, we may not fully understand what the brain is doing during sleep, as fewer researchers are incentivized to study it, thinking it's just BS, which hurts the field overall.

I do wonder though if the main advantages of polyphasic sleep are that it enforces a more rigid structure than monophasic sleep; if you miss a nap, or you oversleep, you're done for. If one could enforce the same level of scheduling in monophasic sleep, I wonder if they wouldn't have the same advantage of increased time. It's too easy to make excuses with monophasic sleep however, saying that you'll just sleep after one more drink / turn of a game / line of code, so polyphasic sleep acts as an enforcer of such a schedule, and here is where its true strength lies.

Communities I've found helpful are r/polyphasic, and its related Discord server. There are many examples there of successful polyphasic sleepers who've maintained their (non Uberman or Dymaxion) schedules for years at a time. In particular, the user GeneralNguyen is a great resource.

> the entire iOS world is built on a premise of security and privacy that only comes from having everything locked down and controlled by Apple, from a secure enclave to approved apps.

Why is this such a popular opinion? If the security of your system relies on manual curation, your system is _fucked_. Security should be based on the user granting permissions, and the system communicating those permissions in a way that is clear and understandable. Which, fortunately, (as far as I am aware), it is.
Having gone through SUS/winning a grant with a biotech, I'll say the style of thinking and the community/accountability was universally applicable. Getting to the killer experiment as quickly as possible to have a solid foundation to build on/raise money off of is a very similar and useful style of thinking to get an MVP launched asap. The more tactical content was sorely lacking for biotechs/hartechs/moonshots though. For bio and hardware, it would have been nice to have some co tent specifically around challenges with capital raising/capital efficiency, how to think about designing experiments. Maybe for hardware, a how to do kickstarter lecture (since there were some very granular tactical software lectures), and maybe a lecture on how to manage a supply chain/inventory. For moonshots, I dont know if theres a playbook that applies since by definition they're very different, but perhaps similar themes to biotech of how do you derisk as quickly as possible. Hopefully theres an opportunity to add content along those lines as they build out the next gen of SUS

> ...it passes the callee a reference to the variable.

And that reference itself is a value-- it's a thing passed to the function and copied from somewhere in memory to a register. It's the interpretation of this value that makes it a reference to some other tangible item. Further, it's the implementation details behind the syntactic sugar, compiler optimizations, and runtime support that allow the developer to reason abstractly with references.

Your Java example with String overlooks the fact that String is immutable: the object itself can't be modified. Use any other object type, allow doMotreStuff() to operate on the argument's properties, and you get the same effect as if passing by reference.

My point is that the SO explanation isn't a good one precisely because you get this pass-by-reference behavior in Java. Yes, indeed, technically there's this value that gets passed to a function, and it's the value of the reference. And, yes, everything that "passes by reference" has to pass something and that something is the "value of the reference" so everything is technically, at the bottom of the abstract stack, "pass by value." But that's not helpful when attempting to help the newb understand why his object mutated in a method when "pass by value" is what he expected.
That's a pretty low ppi setup you describe. All of the retina iMacs are 27" 5k, so >200 ppi. A 27" 4k is 160ppi, and a bigger 4k is lower yet.
OS X handles hidpi perfectly. Never had an app that didn’t display as it should.

I do agree with you that 4K under 27” isn’t necessary.

Lots of type systems support discriminated unions directly, or at least make it trivial to implement them. C# perhaps doesn’t, but that's a problem with C#, not typed programming in general.

> I think it's entered the American psyche that the answer to happiness is to avoid anything that makes us anxious or uncomfortable

Yes. For examples of this trend, look no further than American college campuses, especially in the liberal arts.

"Microagressions", "safe spaces", ... it does sound like a lot of people feel untenably fragile when entering the marketplace of ideas.
Lots of potential uses:

Imagine Amazon was bidding on a big Department of Defense contract ($ in billion). DoD let's say wants to send drones / UAV's whatever to do big sensor passes out in far off areas / imagery, wideband radio etc). There is NO fast internet for the TB's generated. You pop this out of the drone, put it on the next resupply mail flight out, and ingest into Amazon cloud on far side for analytics.

Let's stay a store wants to collect 30 days of customer video related to all traffic in their 100 stores to do some sort of AI analysis on how folks use the stores. Again, some poorly paid store staff person can unplug this after a week and ship it off.

Let's say I generate data but instead of wanting to do a snowmobile every year, I want to do more granular moves. Again, I could do a weekly or whatever ship, and again from maybe a few locations.

I think especially in places with lower high speed internet penetration (africa, china etc) there is room for something "snackable" like this.

Let's say I distribute movies to movie theatres. Again, do a weekly ship in/out.

It's $60/job. Not bad. No data IN fees.
Well, you need to acquire video of TGIF meeting from 2016 dedicated to search support for election. In question and answer section one of employees asks why for many questions instant answer card is shown for Hilary and for same question not shown for Trump.

As for division-wide email from Senior VP declaring preference for specific election outcome (you don’t need to go to Standford to guess which one), I actually tried to look it up some time ago, but it was wiped-out since Google smartly deletes all internal emails older than 6 months specifically to avoid this kind of embarrassment.
> For example, for a higher-level developer, a string might mean some kind of object that knows its length, auto-expands, etc. When in C a string is just an array that it will be overflown at the very first chance. Same with other objects.

Funny, my programming knowledge in Java helped me because of the whole concept of what a reference is and a literal value. In my first Java programming class, 8 years ago, I learned that you need to have references, otherwise things will take up too much memory. My teacher took a humongous object as an example and asked "what if I need to access this at 10000 different places, but I really only need one physical copy of it?"

I was pretty upset that you had to do all of this bookkeeping and accounting. I remember being pretty vocal about that it just didn't make sense to my why one couldn't just copy stuff. I guess we all grow up at some point :)

When I saw pointers for the first time (to be fair, years later), I was thinking "ah so a pointer is basically a reference". Other people would say "a pointer is a whole lot more than just a reference, you can do pointer arithmetic with (and so on)". And I was just thinking to myself: alright, it's a reference on steroids, but the groundbreaking essential idea of the pointer is that it refers to something, just like a reference in Java.

And then I'd hit a segmentation fault and doubt my own understanding.

Learning programming felt emotionally turbulent to say the least, haha.

That content is usually not available to people unless you spend tons of money with those firms.

And yes, a BS filter definitely is needed, and I've found reading through a newsreader makes that much, much easier.
OK, first of all, the syntax and the semantics of a pointer and a reference are completely different from each other. Departing from C, one must start thinking of a pointer as a variable containing a value that is a reference, the latter now always being a constant. That's pretty subtle, I must say. Add to that a very important distinction between lvalue, rvalue, and "universal" references, and then one needs to stay very much current as a C++ coder to remember all that.
Because it would be a trivial indicator that you're in incognito mode.

Consult the dot pitch of your monitor for the actual resolution. Everything is “scaled” to that resolution.
