I bought an amd based t14s with the base 128gb NVME drive and replaced it with a 2tb samsung 970 evo plus and it works fine. If you are planning on using linux you are likely to have a sub optimal experience unless you are okay with using a bleeding edge rolling distro like arch due to needing newer kernels for the best levels of support.
It sounds like Nubank might have the biggest Datomic installation in the world (2000 servers). This is exciting news for people like me who think Datomic is the most interesting database out there. Putting more resources behind Datomic might finally allow it to go mainstream.
I'm such a fan after the 33C3 Machine Dreams talk.

The podcast host, either he has a way of speaking that seems affectedly slow, or maybe he has a speech impediment or neurological issue? Ordinarily I would just set the speed of the video up, but Bach's normal speed of speech becomes too fast. A few minutes in, the host seems to adapt to his guests speed a bit, but is there some kind of trend among millennials to do some weird slo-mo lazy talking pace? Bach seems to sense it as well and interrupts him when he starts to wind up his mental drone.
Sure. But not everybody has them or they might be on that device...

I would assume it's because it's easier to provide a mathemathical proof for the code with functionnal programming.
This is an important perspective. I'm grateful for what I have, but I deeply struggle with the same feelings others have shared in this thread. Knowing that I'm fortunate to not be subsistence farming doesn't fill that hole where purpose should be. It seems some humans might not be wired to feel okay about this, no matter how hard they try.

Maybe our goal should be to free everyone else from soul sucking slog jobs through automation/reorganization of incentives to not have these make work jobs? I'm really interested in finding/working towards a solution for everyone.
Yeah, that was my biggest fear with these services. How do I stop my family members from falling for it? In the end, I can't and just have to live with their mistake (if they used these services).

I think AI is currently able to generate images I find pleasant to look at, but they have no impact on me beyond that momentary enjoyment. It is still decoration and not yet art, according to my personal definitions.

When I can tell an AI to make an image about the Spanish Civil War and it produces Guernica, then I will be impressed in the way human artists impress me. And then we will have a powerful new tool to communicate. I would like my own personal Guernica each day to help me learn about something happening in the world.
If I told you that you can never eat chocolate again for the rest of your life, and you expressed sadness for not being able to experience the pleasures of eating chocolate, would that be equally perplexing?

Just because our desire for chocolate is a primal evolutionary imperative, doesn't mean that it's wrong to develop an attachment to it. Why is it ok to express sadness over missing out on physical pleasures, but not psychological pleasures.
I've been using Bitwarden for just over a year now, and I'm very happy with the experience on Windows and Android.
YAML might be terrible for the reasons given elsewhere but I really want something YAML-like (maybe TOML, maybe something else)

For me, readability is king both for myself and because I sometimes want non-developers to be able to hand-edit files.

Any curly brace format is a non-starter. Too much clutter, too easy to create invalid files that aren't obviously invalid at a glance.

Significant white space does have the advantage of meaning exactly what it appears to mean and being intuitively understandable to most people.
Probably because very few learn CSS right. In particular: the box model.

All the devs I know that struggle with CSS don't understand it. The ones that don't have issues have internalized it and don't need to think about it much anymore.

The box model is one of those fundamental building blocks you really should be learning very early on, a bit like an "if" statement in imperative languages - you can hack around it with ternaries and single-iteration loops, but you're never going to be as effective or have as strong an understanding of the language as you should.

I'm not an expert in Cloudflare products but if I'm not mistaken, there should be a setting labelled something like "Onion Services" in your configuration console that makes the experience for Tor users a lot less painful.

> when is configure+make ever just configure+make

Most times, for me, it just is. Or maybe a little 'configure -help' to set some options.

That said, I prefer to create Arch PKGBUILDs to encapsulate that work. Maybe that is more to your liking?
Beyond that, my issue is with the use of the phrase "all time". It really should be, "the last 50 years" or so.
I don't mind products competing against each other and copying features from each other.

But to make a clone of a product, and slip it into your existing offering which is very popular amongst the general populous is an anti-competitive practice.

Microsoft consistently walk a fine line with this sort of crap. Whenever I update my PC, I DO NOT want to know about the new features of Edge and then be prompted to replace my default browser with it.

Firefox, Chrome and other browsers don't charge for their product but Slack does. It's this sort of thing that in which Microsoft need an occasional slap in the face for.

My problem with CSS is not so much with its idiosyncrasies - though I still find myself getting tripped up by ::pseudo-elements when they're used for anything more than show-off quote marks.

Rather, it's with the way people use it.

For instance when working with a code base handed over to me for maintenance, it's often been the case that the code has already passed through several previous developers/companies. And a lot of those people have fixed presentational bugs over the years by adding !important rules in various places across the various CSS files that contribute to the site. It drives me nuts! Also: commenting out huge swathes of CSS code in a file, but not deleting it ... just in case it's needed again. Why??

The other thing that concerns me is the way new functionality gets added to the CSS spec. Take animations - do they belong in the CSS code, or Javascript? Yes CSS animations are (generally) faster, but the more complex the animation, the harder I find it to understand a CSS implementation. And it's gonna get worse in the future thanks to CSS Animation Worklets, which are being developed as part of the CSS Houdini thing.

There comes a point when I have to decide: CSS or Javascript. I can't keep up with developments in both, and I enjoy coding Javascript more than CSS. </end-self-pitying-moan>

Visit Wikipedia, in the search field type "virtual machine" but do not hit enter or search. Notice the text in the immediate results says "software that emulates an entire computer." Now, visit the page[1]: "...a virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a computer system." This says nothing about whether the virtualization is entirely software, assisted by hardware, or entirely hardware.

A "software virtual machine" is a disambiguation that I chose indicating that the "machine" is implemented entirely in software with no help from special silicon (contrast with [2]). I can't fathom why that would be so controversial.

The entire thread comes down to this: the demo of x86 Linux running on Apple Silicon could very easily have been running in a virtual machine made entirely of software. No one claimed, as I recall, that Silicon implemented any hardware assistance for executing x86 code. There might even be IP issues doing that (IP - intellectual property, not "internet protocol".)

Edit: Looks like Garmin 'Explore' is still up, so maybe it'd still be OK.

If only the directors of museums could sell or take out loans on some vanishingly small percentage of their collections...

When you don’t put your most valuable assets on your balance sheet (but do place the cost of acquiring them as expenses) [0], you can’t reasonably expect to be financially stable.

Implicitly, these museums are saying that they’d rather lay off all their staff, than count their art towards their assets [1]. In my opinion, this has always been the real story with financial hardship in the museum world. They have been suffering financially for decades now. Every time membership declines or attendance stalls, they are doomed to teeter closer to the edge.

[0]: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1262403

[1]: see, for example, this financial audit of the museum of Boston. “In accordance with current practice generally followed by museums, collections are generally not recorded as assets in the accompanying financial statements. Purchased additions to the collections are recorded as expenses at the time acquired.” ... “ Museum policy specifies that proceeds from the deaccessioning of an item may only be used for the conservation or acquisition of other collections items.” https://www.mos.org/sites/dev-elvis.mos.org/files/docs/about...

I don't disagree here. But isn't that a separate discussion?

I thought, we are talking here governments, which currently (due to whatever reasons) can issue bonds at rates below inflation, or even negative rates (e.g. Germany).
To use that (essentially free) money when consumer consumption is down sounds to me fairly rational.
The first time I used the internet was around summer of 1998 at the tender age of 6 years old, mostly to use instant messenger with my cousins. Well before that I also used WebTV to write emails, but anyway...

As for information written by me that is publicly preserved somewhere, I have a feeling that is actually a considerable amount of time later, likely around 2001 or 2002 when I started posting on random paintball forums, ebaumsworld forums, xbox forums. I'd also uploaded some videos on Putfile by that time.

So I guess it's time to celebrate my 20 year internet anniversary soon :)
> And how well does it work when we're nice to them?

Very. But people who call them idiots don't want to convince them, they want to ridicule them to signal their own superiority to other people who also know the earth isn't flat. It's like teenagers bullying younger kids to show off. They don't want to teach those younger kids how to do $whatever, they just want to laugh because they're so great in comparison.

If you approach them with empathy instead of insults, you'll usually find them to have specific reasons for their beliefs (a general and deep seated mistrust for "the system" is what I've encountered the most), but aren't actually attached to them that much. It's more of a "fuck you" to everybody who is part of the system that they feel mistreated by, like a rebellious teenager. What might also happen if you approach them with empathy of course, is that people like the person that wrote this article, will make fun of you and call you an idiot for engaging with idiots instead of calling them idiots like you should in his mind.

And life insurance could just simply demand a dna sample from you before underwriting a policy just like they might demand a physical so the whole "concern" is entirely moot.

Insurance is highly regulated, insurance companies have specific legal ways to underwrite policies, the idea that life insurance companies are going to secretly use stolen data of uncertain provenance in their underwriting instead of just making you submit a dna sample is, quite frankly, silly.
If I had to guess, I think the difference in the way you and I are looking at this issue is that I do not think Powerpoint should be used to replace reports, as they both have a distinct purpose. Rather than display report-like information, I think their best use is to supplement discussion, where the discussion is intended to portray more nuanced information.
I don't agree that is quite strong. He starts with a number of purely subjective requirements that make Fahrenheit look good and ignores all other use cases. Such as centering the zero around the freezing point of water is quite useful, since it makes it obvious when one has to deal with frozen water in various variants.
Don't get me wrong, I think that's great and I'm happy you have a nice workplace. My comments were in the greater context of the thread, which is about working for FAANG companies.
Also, herd immunity has completely left the public discussion. Every country that has successfully avoided wide spread infection has merely delayed the inevitable unless a successful vaccine becomes available soon. Everyone is guessing. 10 years from now we'll know who made the best decisions but it won't be because anyone was smarter, it'll be because they guessed luckily.
VMware didn't do full virtualization - it couldn't because x86 did not support it at that time! There were privileged instructions that did not cause a trap, and so which could not be virtualized using the normal trap-to-monitor technique. VMware used dynamic translation to JIT the guest kernel so that it did not execute privileged instructions, and so that it would run much faster than a simple emulator. This is explained in the Xen paper and also in https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu//~cs252/sp17/papers/vmware.pd...

His Quora activity does nothing to change anyone's mind or make the world better, and certainly doesn't make him seem clever or good. The Medium post is a victimhood rant from someone who can't accept that sometimes people will say "enough" to you being a nuisance.

To the point where one of our electronics shop brought the official Vt100 manuals so they could repair any blown chips.

Does Garmin or any other GPS vendors have auto-update? Most of my wearables require me to confirm the incoming update (scheduled at night while charging) or I have to plug it into my computer.

You see the warnings everywhere. But does Prop. 65 protect you?
But how much of that is context? Is the absence of deeper impact because you're aware that a soulless NN produced these, or is it something intrinsic in them?

I guess I always assumed Garmin made most of their money on their aviation products, since they are so dominant and so expensive. And those are designed to rarely if ever connect to the internet. But I guess I was pretty off on that, they’re only 20%.

On a side note the graphs of their revenues per year and by category show a company that successfully branched out when their former big category, automotive, which was 80% of their revenue, began to be eaten by in car GPS and then smart phones.

>So why do you or your company who uses any of the big 3 use them if you had to cut cost at some point?

Because it takes X hours of effort to cut costs and using another provider would have required Y hours of effort where Y >> X. Y may be greater due to reliability issues, missing features that you need to build yourself, training costs of new employees, etc.

edit: Also X is paid once you're succeeding, Y has to be paid before you're succeeding which makes Y even more expensive in opportunity cost.
Web Components can be barebones, use no dependencies, do all DOM manipulations directly. That would give you vanillajs performance. It won't be easy to scale to big components this way--the use case is small components with minimal state, something like a time picker at most. Integrating the Web Component into React should not be much harder than integrating an <video> element. At best, do nothing or at worst, create a Ref and attach an event listener. The benefit is this would work across all other JS frameworks. Web Components are primitive, like the C ABI, but everyone can speak it, like the C ABI.
Because the commercially available tools aren't that good and because they kept working on it until it was better.

If they kept working on it I think they would run into an asymptote. Maybe they could get closer and closer to 90% accuracy on a task with real hardware, 92% boiling the oceans, and 93% with a Dyson sphere, 93.5% if you can harness a quasar. At that point it probably passes a whiteboard interview and the people who have to fix the bugs can console themselves that the last programmer had neither a brain nor a soul.

That system has an approximate, not an exact model of the domain it works on and that is why it has an asymptote. Turning a graph-structured program into a vector is like mapping the curved surface of the Earth onto a flat map -- except instead of it being a 3-dimensional space it is more like a 1000-dimensional space. Information is destroyed in that process and forever lost so there will always be important characteristics of the problem that it will never "get".
