I mean sure HDR is impressive, but for me it's always like 3D movies.. nice for 5 minutes and then you see the flaws. Dimming zones are a really crappy way to get around the fundamental display tech limitation like you said. But OLED has insane problems with burn-in. They officially don't exist but there are endless reports of this happening. Although I can't speak with high confidence about that. In general the major problem with non-OLED displays are the black levels. Going for HDR was a silly PR move.
My understanding is that Jitsi does actually have E2E at this point, at least in an experimental form.

Just want to offer some help. If you are interested in math, don't get disheartened about how tangled things seem. Even if you can't find any external references to a broader context, you will find that, given enough time and effort, a broader context emerges in your mind.

Dig until you get tired or bored - because you could really keep digging forever.

If you ever feel lost, read the masters - Euler and Dirichlet are two favorites. Here is a great book: https://www.amazon.com/Euler-Master-Dolciani-Mathematical-Ex...

If you get tired of that, read about the greats. MacTutor has a great archive. I especially like their biographies: https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/

The most important thing (only my opnion) is to not lose the sense of wonder at the beauty of the universe as seen mathematically.

I don't know what your particular situation is - are you in university or school and studying math or learning math as you juggle a career? Any more specific advice depends on your circumstances and your objectives, but I really hope I was able to help somewhat.
You realize you are stereotyping a large group of people. You also know absolutely zero about modern day PHP, it seems. Let's argue about Perl 4.19 while we're at it.

I assure you the actual writers of Laravel know why Laravel (or Lumen) is good and why they made decisions they made. I promise you the Facebook PHP engineers who worked on HHVM and Hack know best practices and PHP really well (and know how to write a multithreaded socket server and understand TCP).

I also promise you that there are engineers that work all over the place (like non pure tech companies like banks and insurance companies) that don't look at Java as craft. They use Spring cause it's "good" and have written the DAO pattern 100s of times cause it "works". I bet the vast vast vast vast majority of Java Spring developers have not read Rod Johnson's Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development and actually understand WHY Spring was invented.

Knowing Java doesn't create some magical space where you suddenly know the TCP protocol state diagram. That's just a silly statement. I promise ANY average developer of ANY language can NOT spit out a bare metal implementation of TCP. Hell, I bet the average Java developer doesn't know the difference between UDP and TCP (or the average php developer, average python developer, average ruby developer, you get what I'm saying)

PHP is a language. One that is as performant as it's peers, has a large presence on the internet, and is battle-tested. If you instinctively shit on PHP developers, that's something you need to work on.

And, just to be clear, I don't CODE IN PHP and never have. I just know people who are brilliant who do and also deal with some PHP buried in my company to this day (like pretty much every tech company).
From what I see in my circles. WhatsApp is good for chat but no one doing any serious financial transactions through it.

Financial transactions is mostly dominated by Paytm, GPay etc.
C# is `foo.bar<T>()`, I’m not sure what compromises that had to make for that to work but from an end-user perspective it works well.
Yep that is true. I wanted both values to be comparable for an easy demo but would write it as you've suggested if I intended to make this a general purpose package.
> I have no idea how nautil manages to so consistently talk about mathematical concepts in a way that is so hard to make heads or tails of

Because they're writing for laymen. I have a degree in math and work in a subfield of CS that relies on math a lot, so I have a lot of practice explaining concepts to some of the smartest people I know without a math background. The tradeoff for your concise expression is that it uses jargon that adds cognitive overhead for people unfamiliar with college-level or higher math, even if they've got a high quantitative intelligence. A non-exhaustive list that would trip up, say, my friend with a PhD in pathology:

1) associative and commutative are not commonly-know terms

2) "A group is a collection of elements 'with' multiplication" is underdetermined. What does it mean to be "with"? The notion that multiplication isn't commutative is unintuitive without understanding that the definition of multiplication is flexible here, defined based on the type of the element in the group.

3) Using o as a composition operator is something that a layman is guaranteed never to have come across

4) What does invertible mean? It's not trivially obvious to a layman that some matrices A have no matrix B such that AB = I.

Etc etc etc. Note that each of these gaps and confusing points (for laymen) compound; I'll occasionally read a paper in a field I'm not an expert in (like economics), and the being bogged down every other sentence by confusion is a severe impediment to understanding how these pieces are composed into something novel. Hell, even when I understand each piece, sometimes the most foreign concepts haven't marinated long enough for me to use them as building blocks yet.

Whats your complaint here? "I have a math degree, how dare nautilus target anyone but me with their articles?"

> It'll be a better city all around with fewer people and lower rents.

Possibly. It depends who leaves. If it's mainly people that are decently high earners and provide a lot of the tax base, it will be dark days for the city for awhile. Budgets will be cut as a combination of the tourism collapse and loss of income taxes will compound to create a crisis for the city. These things domino quickly as shops close, real estate taxes aren't collected, etc.

I think a lot of young people don't really understand how miserable the city was in many ways for about 25 years there before it had a renaissance the last 25 years.

I agree that a correction is needed. The rent is too damn high, to be sure.
My problem at the time was BAD packets (ones that were still occasionally getting past a CRC check after noise) we had pretty good good packet tests
> This seems more like a market correction than an actual rent drop.

An "actual rent drop" is a market correction.
> if Intel had decided to make the x86 segment paragraph size 256 bytes (8 bits) instead of the useless 4 bits

It would also have increased memory fragmentation. Many memory allocations were aligned to a segment boundary, so you'd be wasting up to 255 bytes instead of up to 15 bytes on each allocation.

If you don't know about it, then no, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubby,_Inc._v._CompuServe_Inc. (This is one of the cases that spurred Section 230; the analysis is, I believe, still valid today for sites that don't moderate things, because the point of Section 230 was to provide equivalent protection for sites that do moderate things. But it's definitely valid if Section 230 goes away.)
Just want to second the use of an ultrawide (3440x1440). It's such a better experience all around. I can't go back to a non-ultrawide monitor.
Hmm, so cell formulas, custom formula implementations, and presumably named cell ranges, all use the same language, a concatenative language? And all are written in cells rather than (the latter two) as auxiliary data?

I wonder, for formulas, if word stack effects are known or inferred, might the language simply be syntactic sugar? So `A:| 3 | 5 | negate | plus |` desugars as `| 3 | 5 | =negate(A2) | =plus(A1,A3) |`. Because the stack effects of negate and plus are known to be x-x and xx-x respectively. Factor is an example of a concatenative language with explicit stack effects. It does sacrifice allowing variadic words.

Might a range of code cells serve as a code block? In a concatenative language, evaluating a word simply pushes its definition on the stack. So if `A:| 1 | + |` and `B:| 2 push(A1:A2) |` then B1 would expand as `2 1 +`. So perhaps named ranges and custom formula definition are then overlapping concepts?

A growing consensus on how you catch Covid
My personal story instead is that I had always been convinced that books were useless in software or web development, that everything you needed (and had to do) was read the specifications, standards and official manuals (I dropped out of college very early).

After a few years, when trying to figure out a new thing, I conceded to turn to some book and a world opened.

Along with the discovery of O'Reilly's, and then other publishers', late shop of drm-free PDFs (which also solved the serious space problems I would have had with paper books), I went on a e-books binge, from software craft to every conceivable CS field.

I am scared to estimate how much I spent, but I'm reasonably glad of what I learned and what I have at hand.
What are feature-complete (remote control, whiteboard) alternatives?
I used the CONV-86 8080 to 8086 converter tool mentioned in the article on a project back in 1983. It really worked quite well, with hardly any fixup required on a fairly large (at that time) code base.

I remember thinking that the 8088 (in the IBM PC) was a speed demon compared to the 8080 (in the CP/M system I was converting from).

Yes, I've been thinking of this the same way. As someone who plans to stay in NYC, I'm looking forward to a time when WFH is more normalized and people who live in cities are people who want to live in cities, not people who need to live in cities. It could be win-win for both types.
I'm aware. Renewables and electric cars are on a tear. Don't force density when you can use technology instead to lower your impact. It's clear the city is too expensive for many, and folks are going to filter out of urban cores until a density equilibrium is reached.

Do you care if I live in the middle of nowhere in the mountains if all of my power is clean solar, our cars are electric, I work from home, and pay for carbon offsets for anything I need shipped to the home (until UPS, Fedex, and USPS electrify)? Personally, I'll pay whatever it costs to not have a neighbor within a 15 minute walk of my property, but still have national parks within a 30 minutes drive.
>Was city life not vibrant when rents were 1/3rd the price?

Vibrant may not have been the best choice of words. But there have certainly been periods over the past few decades when life in major cities was more dangerous, grittier, less polished, etc. than it was today. e.g. Bryant Park in the 80s, Some may not consider that a negative.

That hasn't been my experience. My lease expires mid August, and I already got the lease renewal. The same level as the current one, not a dollar less. We started looking around. Everywhere the same, same level as the current one. I didn't get to ask about free months yet, maybe management companies will offer one-two months. But the actual rent per month is not going down, despite a significant number of vacancies.

I want to complete things as quickly as possible so that I have plenty of time to procrastinate before I start the next task.

Also, as others have noted, sleep seems to be highly important and in that sense, besides a healthy amount of night sleep, I find power naps really helping me to get through the day.
Construction is still continuing and I don't think it ever stopped. I used to drive by 1550 mission and they were going at it hammer and tongs all through the entire period. So your premise is wrong: we didn't stop building. Most construction is covered as essential work.
> They were part of the PRISM program.

This is highly deceptive framing. PRISM was a passive cable tapping program. Companies weren't "participating" in it as much as they were victims of it.

Facebook was targeted by PRISM and rapidly worked to mitigate as soon as they knew about it, just like every other cloud service provider that was victimized by cable tapping under that program.
its not a surprise that chrome is one of them..
One wonders if this is, perhaps, explained by a lot of people holding on to rental properties as airbnb units had to give them up, so there are lots of units available and prices are coming down.
Can you provide a source on "FB being a part of PRISM"? I can't find anything concrete to substantiate the claim.
You still need to scale the resolution to make it easily readable on most common monitor sizes like 27". The end result is really good and sharp.
What is it that gives the publishers leverage in this negotiation?
A consequence of this is the so-called "undocumented" opcodes of the 6502. Extra instructions such as LAX (load A and X from the same value) "work" because the instruction activates two different blobs of logic (the one for LDA plus the one for LDX). From my experience, it's less clear that microcode would function this way when confronted with an illegal opcode.
The Outrage Epidemic
More precisely, the internet without section 230 is two things: it's 4chan and 8chan on one side and tightly moderated corporate-run comment sections on the other (because you need extremely proactive moderation to avoid liability for things people post). You'll still have social media, because the world loves it, but everything will be reviewed by a compliance team at a big tech company instead of being available immediately. Smaller sites won't be able to staff a proper review team - you can still run personal blogs and let trusted friends comment, but you can't do things like run a Mastodon or a phpBB open to the public if you want to do any moderation at all (and if you don't do any moderation, 8chan will raid you).
Nowadays, there isn't a huge practical difference in terms of performance/tooling aside from edge cases and deployment options. It mostly depends on your syntax preference. (although there are flame wars from both sides)

I noted the TensorFlow usage because the original GPT-2 release was TensorFlow 1.X, which led to issues when TensorFlow 2.0 was released soon after.

For model training, I strongly recommend using the higher-level Keras APIs for TensorFlow/pytorch-lightning API for PyTorch than the respective base tools.
The pandemic is here for at least 1-2 years in that time many businesses will have perfected WFH/remotely where possible. So I don't think they will go back to previous way of doing things that easily. Another thing is this pandemic also has shown the risk factor of having most of your workforce in one place/city. So even if businesses don't do wfh they would probably go for more satellite offices in smaller cities.
In Virtual Dungeons, Less Flogging and More Key-Logging
I have a single 1080p 13'' monitor (my old MacBook Pro) and that's sufficient for me. I seriously don't understand what people do with that extra space. This is enough to see 3 horizontally split files open on Emacs. And you can double it (6) if you also have vertical split, but then page becomes too small.

1080 27'' sure sounds nice, but why do you think we need two 27'' monitors?
Sure! Sent you an email :)

Hiring Russian aerospace engineers worked out great for me so far, but I'm not sure I'd recommend the process to most startups. The biggest thing is that the geniuses that speak English well have all left Russia for various reasons. That leaves you with either non-geniuses, or geniuses with poor English. Usually, they've tried to learn English themselves and didn't get as far as they'd like, so "just hire a language coach" isn't a simple solution here. If you just want a lot of average engineer bodies, though, you can get that for cheap. I imagine it'd be ideal for something like building a tunnel or a bridge, with a lot of routine calculations and established design procedures.

The other big thing is the hiring itself. I got extremely lucky - I'm good friends with a great Russian technical recruiter living in Moscow, who was able to actually find people for me. But even with that huge advantage, it was tough.

If anyone has questions about the process, ask away - the idea of hiring expert engineers/programmers from cheaper countries has always fascinated me, and surprised me with how difficult it is.

Reddit is one of the biggest websites and with their simplistic content architecture and minimalistic UI, I cannot see why it is so slow.

I worked for eBay/Paypal.

Honestly I'm so disappointed in how far eBay's fallen. I opened my eBay account in 1999 - finding great deals, good sellers, sending money orders in the mail... those were the good times. And it was like a dream come true when I got a job there.

But eBay's lost its heart. Like all enormous and old businesses it got taken over by the suits, and the suits decided that a Marketplace was eBay's best future. Over the last decade they've been trying and failing, while being occasionally mired in scandal: GSI Commerce/eBay Enterprise (SEC violations, eventual divestiture), Skype (onerous terms for employees during sale to MS), Magento...

Policies are broken. Did you know "no returns" means a buyer can still make a return? Sellers take a HUGE risk selling on eBay these days, to the point where I don't list on eBay anymore.

And then this? If it were an episode of Silicon Valley we wouldn't believe it was possible. How the mighty have fallen.
everything looks great but the fact that people found Skype to be a possible alternative is questionable. Has anyone used Skype recently for conference calls? My experience was atrocious - everything was so slow, video quality was horrible, and the UX was confusing.

> Why is it 119.88 Herz, not 120 Herz? No idea. It seems to work the same.

I'm guessing it's 119.88Hz because that's an even 5x multiple of the conventional "24Hz" of TV – which is really 23.976Hz.
At work (I remember the place well!) I have a pair of 1920x1024's. What size? Not sure. I rotated them 90 degrees, so there are two vertical panes of 1024x1920, side by side, making a 2048x1920 area.

Approximately square is the most productive size. When we're working with text, be it code or prose, the height of it is unlimited, but the width isn't. So it ends up in multiple columns.

Books are mostly oblong (taller than they are wide), but that's only if we think of them in their closed state. An typical open book is typically a bit wider than it is tall (but not greatly so), and you have two columns of text (the two pages).

That open book geometry is an awful lot like my rotated monitor setup, isn't it.

Until I rotated the monitors into this configuration, I was consistently just using one and ignoring the other. Moreover, ironically, using virtual desktops! I keep virtual desktops as large as 4x4. I would rather pane among virtual desktops with hot keys than turn my head between two excessively wide monitors placed side by side.

People made remarks about my disuse of the second monitor, which prompted me to come up with a good way of using it.
I don't care because I like to live like that myself for other reasons (city people like authoritarianism too much for me). I don't even care that you live like that now.

That doesn't change the sustainability argument.
