Architecture is one thing, availability another. ARM is a lot more available on the global market, from multiple foundries.

What I think is interesting is what this will do to the low-power x86 front, not just in terms of technical innovation but also availability. I'm perfect content building for x86, if it becomes as-available as the raspberry-pi class of devices ...
He’s leaving out the bit about the low oxygen tension and what adaptations allow birds to effectively deliver oxygen at altitude. The air sac system is good for high-demand situations, where increased ventilation is needed. But if the blood is simply not able to pick up enough oxygen, the ventilation rate doesn’t matter much. This is why we need pressure suits at high altitude.

I’m sure when dinosaurs were dealing with 12% oxygen they had developed adaptations to handle it. Special hemoglobins, etc. Whatever that is, is the real reason. The efficient air sac-lung system is better at explaining how they ventilate well and deal with high winds.
Australians, Indonesians, Germans all measure recipes with two kinds of spoons (!). Australians also use cups (that are 10-12 mL bigger than American ones); other countries may too.

I wonder if the ideal country where no-one uses units of volume other than litres and millilitres actually exists.

The really bizarre units of volume are certainly the ones I've seen in Europe - where you get measures marked in "grams of flour" and "grams of sugar". I suppose no-one has ever asked for a hundred grams of sugar of flour, but I'm tempted to every time I see one of them.
It's interesting it peaked in 2001 concidering a large part of NJ's mail system was essentially shut down for a few weeks. Not that NJ is that big, but it's big enough that I'd expect it to cause a 1-2% hit overall.
For many physical efforts, overpacing and poor form can both rob you of results. In particular, exceeding your aerobic threshold for any period of time will require recovery time --- you can pull this off at the end of a ride or in a critical effort (breakaway, hill ascent) where you'll get a chance to recover afterwards, but full on and you're simply sabotaging yourself. Perceived effort is a very poor guide. In some activities there's a very real risk of acute or chronic-overuse injury as well.

John Cleese talks of a similar concept in creative activity, learned from a screenwriter who'd worked with Alfred Hitchcock:

When we came up against a block and our discussions became very heated and intense, Hitchcock would suddenly stop and tell a story that had nothing to do with the work at hand.

At first, I was almost outraged, and then I discovered that he did this intentionally. He mistrusted working under pressure. He would say, “We're pressing, we're pressing, we're working too hard. Relax, it will come.” And, says the writer, of course it finally always did.

Airplanes are cheaper than boats.

To go on a freighter from the US to mainland Europe takes about 18 days and costs $100/day including meals. $3600 two-way. To make the same trip in an airplane if booked in advance is around $600 (can be just $300 at times, though).
Wow,

This seems like a really bad idea. I would be furious if anyone put that thing 350ft from my house.
You don't need to draw and shoot a gun if merely having one visible makes the cops get out your way and await backup.
Why would they? It's well understood that when you raise more than what you sell for, the company has effectively been liquidated in a fire sale. This is the risk of raising a ton of money without having a functional business with real unit economics.
The two classic graduate texts for numerical linear algebra are Matrix Computations by Golub and Van Loan and Numerical Linear Algebra by Trefethen and Bau.

The reference you are looking for (includes executable C++) is Numerical Recipes by William Press et al.

There are a couple other good ones as well that are more broad - e.g. Quarteroni, Sacco, & Saleri Numerical Mathematics also covers numerical diffeq, convex geometry, & approximation theory.

I can't comment on how OP's book fits in.
My site (the OP) uses a separate print-specific CSS to try and format recipes to a 4x6 index card. It doesn't work as well as I'd like, as in, it's hard to get what shows up on the screen to print on an odd-sized piece of paper, but if you, or someone you know, has CSS expertise then I'd love for someone to help make this work more reliably!

Your parent comment, and all of their ancestor comments, are talking about updates in general, and not about security updates specifically.

Here over on the Linux side of the world, we have enjoyed the separation of security updates from feature updates for such a long time. We even voluntarily turn on automatic updates on our servers because of how much confidence we have in the stability of the system and that the updates shall not compromise that.

Only because of the state of tech stores in Boston, if I needed something that wasn't Apple (gaming mostly) they were the only other tech store I could reasonably walk or take the train too. Microcenter isn't super close to a train station.
But you have to admit, a gram of flour and a gram of sugar are very strange units of volume. Better to just use millilitres or cups or something.
My bad. I interpreted “bash conditions” differently.

That might not be a marginal deterrent if the criminal has already committed significant crimes.

[murder suspect] + [doesn't fight] = [life in prison], [no chance of escaping]

[murder suspect] + [does fight] = [life in prison], [non-zero chance of escaping]

This is actually a reason we might want to reduce sentences for some crimes. 'Tough on crime' laws make criminals more brazen.
This is pretty basic military law that a lawful order has a valid military purpose and is a clear and specific (and its generally documented in writing although verbal lawful orders do exist).

Reasonable is in the sense of proportionate such as "reasonable force". Would a reasonable person do X Y or Z to reach a lawful goal?

If you're guarding a nuclear bunker and there are signs everywhere about deadly force authorized and someone tries to break in, its a lawful order to shoot them although if they're a pizza deliveryman it may not be a reasonable order; although lets be realistic pizza deliverymen don't normally break into nuclear bunkers, so its perfectly reasonable to shoot a deliveryman-impersonator commando.

A very off the cuff and unfair comparison is the people who decide acceptability of lawful orders are skilled knowledgeable bureaucrat lawyer types implementing the details of written laws and regs and higher level orders, whereas the people who decide reasonableness of orders are usually on the knowledge level of jury members. Or lawful orders are in the arena of goals, whereas reasonable orders are in the arena of how to do it.

I'd argue that they aren't really empowered. I don't feel empowered by my phone because everything is under someone else's control.

I think you should consider that groupthink gets established very easily inside companies. It only takes one brash but senior engineer (even if only in the "been there a long time" sense) to loudly proclaim a tool sucks and how much they hate that tool, and pretty quickly you can get a chorus of "me too" and people who disagree just decide they have better things to do than pick a fight.

I've seen this happen a bunch of times, and when investigated the opinions are often not based on much thought, or are actually flat out wrong.

My company has just migrated from TC to Jenkins except for the project I run, which is still on TC. Why? Because I've actually read the TC user guide and so understand how it works, what it can do. Plus I like the GUI.

The justification for migration was idiotic, something like "Jenkins has a big community, look at how many plugins there are". Well guess what - Jenkins has more plugins than TC because it needs more to match the feature set. A lot of things that are built in with TC are unmaintained crappy plugins in Jenkins that you have to assemble yourself.

The other day I saw one of the instigators of this migration complaining on Slack that the build queue priorities plugin they were using had gone unmaintained and had serious bugs. Build queue priorities are built in to TC for a long time and JetBrains doesn't ship broken features very often, so my guess is it works. I had to resist engaging in a told-you-so moment ... why bother, the damage was done already.

In another case another senior guy decided on nearly his first week that a major piece of software we use sucks. For years he has constantly made claims of the form "$PRODUCT can't do X" or "feature Y is broken" and when the user guide is checked, in fact it can do X and when asked what is broken about feature Y he can't point to any actual concrete bug reports he can or will file. But nothing will shake his view on this and other junior devs pick it up and echo it to make themselves seem discerning and informed.

Time and time again I've seen stupid product choices in companies done for no better reason than someone formed a snap opinion without bothering to read the user guide. TC works great. It's one of the best CI systems out there. Spend an afternoon reading the user manual from cover to cover and it will pay huge dividends - also note that it's free if you only need 3 agents.

Transparent means people can tell how much money you have, how long you've had it, where you got it from, and where you send it. An opaque chain means outside observers can't really do that. If people have the private key, of course they can, or if they have view keys they can. The the chain is verifiable even while being opaque thanks to the beauty of mathematics.

This article seems like a hell of a reach. I have a master's in Fisheries Science that was funded in part by FWS, though I no longer work in that field, so I may not be entirely objective.

That said, the simple reality is that managing native species and how they interact with society has to be done. Whether it's suburban coyotes killing off family pets (a big problem in my suburb at the moment) or rural clashes between ranchers and wolves, you cannot just let the situation unfurl without official intervention. Allowing civilians to handle it results in endangerment and extinction, and refusing to handle it results in ecological damage and risk to both people and livestock.

Now, if the only point is that better training and communication protocols for these Federal employees is in order, sure I buy that for basically every Federal department. Making out like FWS is some pet-assassinating Kremlin is pretty low-effort clickbait. The reason nobody's heard of them is because nobody much cares about what does or doesn't happen to coyotes and deer until it impacts them.
many (incl. myself) people have no issues with the pcb and soldering on them, provided the entire thing is not potted in epoxy.

Soldering SSD and RAM is another issue, which makes standard components useless (mostly on purpose)
I’m not disputing your comment, but still I agree with the gist of the article. My four year old son recently learned to ride a bike (in The Netherlands) so naturally he now wants to cycle everywhere himself.

So instead of putting him in his seat and cycling to the store myself (20 km/h) we now cycle side by side (10 km/h) to the store. It takes exactly 5 minutes longer single trip, and it doesn’t matter a bit.

If you really depend on achieving 100% vs. 90%, and it takes a ton of stress to get to 100%, it might be time to change habits/goals/employer.
> It also caters to a kind of developer that no longer exists, or at least is in the minority now.

The one developer I met who liked Perl was quite the character. He thought in a certain way I envied. Once he rewrote a bash script into Perl just for fun (and to confuse the rest of us). As a gratuitous side effect, the Perl script cut execution of the same task from over 1m in Bash to a matter of seconds.

I've resolved to learn it myself now, even if it nudges me more towards a mode of thinking. There's still plenty it can do.
>Self-driving tech may be close to cruise control 2.0 - that is highway exit to highway exit navigation

This is why the main first application of autonomous driving is going to be long haul trucking.

The current regulations about duty time for humans in long haul trucking create inefficiencies. Now imagine that there are facilities just off of highway on- and off-ramps where truck drivers hang out. The autonomous vehicle pulls off the highway into a lot. A human then gets in and guides the truck to it's final destination.

Truck drivers get an immediate lifestyle increase (no more multiple days on the road, having to sleep in the truck, etc), labor costs drop dramatically, and travel times for cross country trips also drop dramatically.

The driver market for CDL truck drivers will turn into the "harbor pilot" model they have for large ships.
According to https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rpa11.pdf , approximately 8.2% were "reported crime emergency". So, in effect, 91.8% of all police contact with the public is something other than apprehending criminals at all.

Adam Wathan: “Canada has got to be the best place to be self-employed”
I like working in a team room - several developers working on the same product. Great for collaboration. Almost without fail, proponents of remote work like to compare remote to open plan offices only. There are other ways of working too.

During the pandemic I have been working from home for three months. Mostly it has worked pretty well. However, I do think you miss some aspects of collaboration when you do. I hardly ever see anybody touch on this. Probably because many people see getting rid of the commute as such a big plus. I sympathise with that view.

But I tried to touch on what I think we lose here: https://henrikwarne.com/2020/06/09/working-from-home-cons-an...
Apple is actively hostile towards its customers and having to resort to hacks like this are one of the reasons I permanently moved to Linux about ten years ago.

I had a black Macbook (dual-core, maxed out RAM, etc.), which I liked very much and was plenty capable, and Apple decided (I don't have proof, but I'm almost certain it was an instance of planned obsolescence) that Lion (I think?) would not support it. I installed Ubuntu on that machine and it continued to work well until the screen died a few years later.
This is Apple fault, because other manufacturers just started to imitate their build style, poorly.
Shady is relative. I don’t think many see anything wrong here.

I always encourage native. I think it basically depends what you need to build, the cross platform toolkits can work well for pushing out a mobile client for an existing service or if you just need a presence in the respective stores. Keep in mind not everything is easier / faster with cross platform, some things can be a lot more painful, especially if you want to take advantage of platform specific features or hardware. Also Kotlin Native / Multiplatform is great, I'm a convert. It's not really comparable to the others however since the focus is on building shared libraries and frameworks, you still need to bring your own UI.
These stores always seemed like a desperate attempt to copy apple. Which would be fine if they had product lines that were interesting. But they don't.
Monster black hole found in the early universe
As of 2020, the US population is ~327000000.
The UK population is 63000000
[Source: Wikipedia]

Now, do some division.
That's ~1 assault on a LEO per 2990 people in the US
and ~1 assault on a LEO per 2100 people in the UK.

So assaults on LEO per capita are 26% greater in the UK.

Of course, it is also important to look at the number of LEOs in each state (in the sense of country, not US state).

From [0] there are ~686000 LEO in the US, or 1 per 479 people.
From [1], there are ~123000 LEO in the UK, or 1 per 512 people.

So there are 6% fewer LEO per capita in the UK than the US, but the assaults on LEOs happen 26% more often per capita.

So how is it more dangerous in the US again?

Actually, https://www.bls.gov/ooh/protective-service/police-and-detect... suggests 808,000 LEO in the US, which makes the per-capita LEO even higher in the US. Population data is hard.

No it actually doesn't. This is anecdotal but... my father in law is a police officer in a city with 1.2 million people and the way he talks you'd think officers were dropping like flies. I looked it up and in the last 150 years 20 officers have died while on duty in his police department. Many were traffic accidents. One was a heart attack.

They definitely need to be that frequent, because the less often your upgrade the more risky and painful it is. It feels like most the OS X releases are despised as buggy and breaking everything, since they try to do too much in a year. And then you have the occasional release that stabilizes things and mollifies the users. ChromeOS releases every couple of months. The changes are so incremental that it's hard to notice they even happen. And if there are breakages, they're hard to notice since it's just a couple of things rather than everything. Also, they can be fixed or rolled back quickly, since there isn't a year of other feature work built on top of whatever caused the breakage.

Even six months is a little on the risky side. You'd never release a web app with that many changes piled up. Why would operating systems be different?

Can't comment on the size being necessary, but at least it doesn't sound unreasonable. A Fedora upgrade is usually a couple of GB, iirc, and happens twice a year.
But TC is in the middle of replacing their GUI with a totally new one, the 'experimental' UI, which each release fleshes out in more screens. It's a full redesign.

So yeah perhaps they'd have done the new experimental UI in one fell swoop if they had less testing, who knows. But I'd rather they have a well tested product than ultra-fast UI replacement.
Well, tell that to Europeans, who don't use millilitres to measure their flour or sugar by volume - they use bizarre units of volume called "grams of flour" or "grams of sugar". Check their cup measures! It's crazy.

Apparently it works perfectly fine for household cooking to use units of volume for flour and sugar. Close enough is good enough!

I moved from Brazil to Canada 2 years ago. It was kind of interesting to see what their perception of 'dangerous place', and other stuff was.

Not saying that we should send students to bad places. But going to any other country would teach them that the world is bigger than the place they were born, and different cultures are... well... different. Even if someone travels to a place that's more developed than where they live, that could also help, teaching them what they can do better.
Its te other way around. Apple products have the most third party repair support directly because they are so expensive. It makes more sense to repair $600 phone than $150 one.
