> but most everything else is being wasted and no one seems to care there. It’s a slow degradation.

To be fair, a lot of their population does care and has noticed that Putin has failed to deliver on his promises. They're aware that their income / standard of living is facing a decade plus decline (they're on year seven of that now). In the past good times Putin utilized the oil price boom to very aggressively consolidate his power, install a new authoritarian system, wipe out a lot of human rights and all free press. Now he's formally dictator for life. He was busy while the people were enjoying the momentary prosperity that the oil boom brought. Pretty fucked up frankly, the Russian people get a moment's reprieve from a century of horrors, and another dictator uses that time as a distraction to hijack their brand new, fragile democracy. Now they're trapped and from everything I've read, they're largely aware of it. They see what's happening to their standard of living gains. And up to recently they've had pretty easy outside access to the Internet and what's true or not true (which is why Runet has often been filled with anti-state and anti-Putin memes). The problem is: once a system like that is installed, and the python begins to squeeze, how can you do anything about it? Short of armed, massive, violent revolution. The Russian state won't allow protests, whatever force is used against them, they're capable of and willing to responding with far greater force.
You need to have a kid to get the answer to this question. My kid doesn't use browser ever - if there isn't an app it doesn't exist. What we "google" she "youtube's" - who has time to read when you can watch a demo or a presentation...
There are differences, obviously. Which ones do you think are relevant here?
That benchmark is just showing job overhead. That Sidekiq can do nothing 7100 times a second only matters when overhead is significant, i.e. when your jobs do almost nothing.
LMAO. You laid off ALL your University IT staff? Sure you did.

Again, you just need a laptop or desktop with a video camera to record your sessions. You can buy a USB microphone for higher quality audio. That is it.

1Password, and I've been happy with it, but I generally recommend Bitwarden to anyone who asks because of the free tier.

I intentionally use other things for my 2FA and TOTP so that my most important accounts are still not accessible even if you somehow get into my password manager. I use YubiKeys where I can, Google Authenticator when it has to be TOTP.
Dubai might be immigration-friendly... unless you're gay, or trans, or non-Muslim and want to tell other people what you believe, or (I suspect) pro-democracy. That might not be a great place for a branch of an Ivy League school.
IIRC the main issue with I2P is that it doesn't natively offer access to traditional websites the way Tor does. You can configure your browser to connect to a remote HTTP proxy over I2P and access the web that way, but that requires you to find such a proxy first (preferably several such proxies, each with multiple users, so that your traffic across multiple sessions can't be correlated by using the outproxy IP), and setting it up is a lot more complicated than Tor's method of "download Tor browser, click run".
One word: antitrust.
Just the other day I found an stm32f4 in a device (I think some kenwood talkie), I didn't except such a strong processor but here it was, arm is in a lot of places.

I'm pretty sure that comments like that don't count as "anti-racism".

> why would one chipmaker have faster/better CPUs if they are using the same spec as another chipmaker with slower/worse CPUs?

That's not the interesting thing, really. ARM licensees don't compete on how fast the ARM itself is, they compete on what else is on the same chip that they've designed themself. Radios, high-speed serial interfaces, analog-digital, etc.

(the big exception is Apple, who have their own silicon team improving the ARM implementation)

ARM have a very wide range of price/performance/area/power options. You don't always want the biggest and best.
And to add insult to injury, so many otherwise sensible people seem to equate Twitter directly to the real-world and don't realize its being gamed by botnets and activists who are pushing political views.

Many very smart professionals literally look to Twitter for feedback and even emotional support for their work, and literally have meltdowns if the Twitverse takes them to task over some unforgivable transgression.

It's possible - but then Russia was fairly foolish for conducting it anytime near the much heralded report. It seems far more likely the timing of the report was known and not avoided.

I see the productivity decrease in large corps as a part of the organization's risk management. If you've ever been brought into a project in an emergency capacity because the "lead" developer bailed (typically due to burn out) you'll know what I'm talking about.

ALSO, in case this is in fact a thread about Amazon (which some appear to believe) maybe part of it has to do with the news we sometimes see posted about how "work conditions" are terrible at Amazon? I couldn't blame them for a response, if this is it?

Anecdotally, I took about 100 exposures of the comet last weekend with shutter speeds ranging from 10-20 seconds. There were satellite streaks in every exposure! I don't ever remember it being this bad.

Wow, I think totally the opposite: I'm as anti-communist as they come, but even I recognize that if we as a civilization keep going down the path we're going down, there's going to come a day when there's no more useful work for humans to do. When we get to that point (but not before, you silly Antifas), we'll have to completely reimagine how people spend their days.

Skill Stacking: How to Achieve Success Whilst Being Average
I'm not an expert, nor even a lawyer (hint - if it likely impacts you consult one prior to taking random advice from a forum obviously) with that said -

From [1] a quick scan showed up something so I think even storing a phone number would fall under it as in "indirect identifier" - to quote

>>There are more factors to consider with indirect identification. Indirect identification means you cannot identify an individual through the information you are processing alone, but you may be able to by using other information you hold or information you can reasonably access from another source. A third party using your data and combining it with information they can reasonably access to identify an individual is another form of indirect identification.

An easy example of information that could be used to indirectly identify someone is an individual’s license plate number. The police (a third party) can quickly match a name to a license plate number.>>

So given that phone numbers can be traced back to an individual, I would guess that it would fall under the GDPR. Especially since (I would assume) you would be recording the orginators IP address

I'm not aware of any API (surprising for AWS), but you use Spot Fleet to get an array of spot instances optimized for cost.

Having a bid above spot price does not guarantee you'll keep the spot instance. AWS can terminate a spot instance at any time if they need the capacity—That's the deal. It used to be more closely tied your bid price, but they've been moving away from that.
The question is: Are they right?

They are making a claim. It's for them to prove it, not for others to disprove it.

The article says that China is the largest cotton producer and that most of Chinese cotton is produced in Xinjiang. So it is very easy to claim that something might be happening in Xinjiang and then say that the entire fashion industry is "complicit".

But from the article it seems to me that this is based on second hand accounts reported through the blob of "a coalition" from people who have an interest in attacking China and in making their previous situation in China as bad as possible.

They are also mentioning the "Uyghur Human Rights Project". I don't know who they are but their website says that they are based in Washington DC (and they seem to a separatist group that seeks independence for Xinjiang). With the current situation between China and the US, forgive me for thinking that maybe, just maybe, this might be a PR machine in operation (basically psych ops).

Whether these claims are in fact true or not, it seems to me that the media are too happy to take everything at face value.
That's a lot of money. Considering that the company has reversed course on almost every promise it has ever made about Starlink -- orbit altitude, inter-sat networking, service area, cost -- I think it's a good bet that Starlink will ultimately just look like a capital-intensive Iridium-like network without the ability to service mobile stations. I imagine the US military will end up being the main customer.

Just to throw in one more complication, I'll assert that the only benefits of FPGAs over ASICs are one time costs and time to market. Those are big benefits, but almost by definition, they aren't as important for workloads that are large scale and stable. So, if you do have a workload that's an excellent match for FPGAs, and if that workload will have lots of long term volume, you should make an ASIC for it.

So, for FPGAs to be the next big thing in HPC, you'd need to find a class of workloads that benefit from the FPGA architecture, for long enough and with high enough volume to be worth the work to move over, and are also unstable or low volume enough that it's not worth making them their own chip.

Vivado is amazing compared with the ASIC counterparts: Design compiler is for RTL synthesis only and you need years of experience to get any decent qor out of it. In ASIC land you have separate tools for every step, synthesis, STAs, PnR, simulation, floor planning, power analysis, etc. Vivado does all that in one seamless tool, and allows you to cross probe from a routed net right back to the RTL code it came from. Try doing that with ASIC tools. So to me it's a matter of perspective, once you understand how difficult the problem of hardware design is to solve, and what some of the existing de facto industry standard tools are like (for ASIC), you come to appreciate vivado for just how well it brings all of these complex facets together. Of course if you come from a SW background you make think vivado is terrible compared to VScode or some other IDE, but that's an unfair comparison. I guess to reframe the question - show me a hardware design environment that is better than Vivado. Also, I separate vivado fron the Xilixn SDK, as they are different tools, and Vivado is expclitly got the HW parts of the design

If your intentions are good, even if you're doing all the right things, you'd be playing with fire. To be honest, the people they hand out SRDs to probably have an excellent working relationship with apple already, anyways - toeing the line would probably preclude you from having an SRD or getting a second year access.
The Walmart near me closes opens self checkouts based on demand. So when the store is crowded, all self checkouts are open and there is a line. When the store is not crowded, half the self checkouts are closed, so there still is a line. I don't get why they would do this, but I absolutely hate it.

Nothing makes me more angry than publishers who act like this. I regularly deal with the academic publishing industry and feel the pain of professors and students alike.

>I call on the executives at Hachette, HarperCollins, Wiley, and Penguin Random House to come together with us to help solve the pressing challenges to access to knowledge during this pandemic.

The publishing industry should take a cue from the gaming industry. Offer games at a reasonable price, make delivery easy and you only stand to profit. Services like Steam, GOG, Epic et al have massively reduced game piracy. If books were being sold for a couple of dollars each online, we would not need lawsuits like this.

Not 100% sure which government you're referring to here but a polite reminder that ARM, although owned by Softbank, is still a British company with its HQ in Cambridge UK and design centres around the world including the US. I'm sure many US companies would be fine owners of ARM but it doesn't have to be owned by one to secure its future and that of the architecture.

Intel would a) not be allowed to buy for very clear antitrust reasons b) as owner would be very likely to be a disaster for both Intel and ARM. Intel has had ARM licenses in the past and has sold the relevant businesses.
Marcoof500 aims to create an entire legacy
I was a senior manager on the very first product the article talks about. I was closely involved in designing the service and presenting it to Amazon senior leadership. WSJ quotes the CEO of a startup called DefinedCrowd as accusing us of stealing their ideas from a meeting 4 years earlier.

What a bunch of conceit. I don't remember our team discussing DefinedCrowd even once. We focused on the many other more interesting players that are doing the same thing, and researching them by trying out their service etc. like anyone normally would.

I'm sure someone talked with DefinedCrowd 4 years before that. Amazon, like all other tech companies, routinely has NDA conversations with startups that never go anywhere.

I can't speak to the rest of the article, but the very first example is totally false. WSJ is looking for an angle, and this startup is probably looking for a way to blame Amazon for their own execution problems.

Personally I think there's a line to be drawn somewhere - I can certainly appreciate focusing on readability, but having certain tools run super fast can be very advantageous on a system level.

Generally I think OS-bundled tools that may be used for stream processing of large amounts of data (like grep) should skew further towards performance, because there are a non-trivial number of people passing gigabytes of data through grep every day and a 10-20% performance improvement there is a significant boon to global productivity.

Tools that solve a very specific problem and do it with a strong expectation of correctness and performance are what makes *nix environments so powerful - not only can you throw together a nifty bash script that duplicates the functionality of a massive cluster operation, the script may actually outperform the cluster because of how performance-focused those tools are!

I see this issue as being a bit similar to high- vs. low-level programming languages. Could we write absolutely everything in JavaScript and probably have a lot of the code be more readable than it'd be in C or Rust? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean it's not worth using C in some cases to make the program perform well on hardware that doesn't have enough firepower to just ignore the overhead, and it doesn't mean it's not worth using Rust in cases where stability is absolutely required.
Like most 5G articles that attempt to rebut 5G hysteria (5G causes autism, ...) it fails to realize that people are just right to be suspicious about a technology that has no credible benefits and no constituency other than equipment vendors.

Telecom carriers have had no interest in 5G. From the invention of the internet to the 3G age telecom vendors felt out of control of their financial destiny (MCI Worldcomm's fraud forced them invest in intercity optic fiber capacity they never would have built otherwise. Most of that capacity lies fallow too because they've had an "investment strike" against building optic fiber out to the last mile)

With 4G they got back on top and had no interest in capital spending to build out a new generation but carriers had to pretend they were caught up in the hype. So you can get 5G at one corner of Washington Square Park and it is so fast it doesn't matter at all that 99.99% of Manhattan doesn't have it, never mind the rest of the country.)

Presaged eerily in 1981 by Michael Crichton's terrible movie "Looker":

https://youtu.be/2IZfSr891bE (warning, nudity)

Two additional scenes stand out:

1. The protagonist watches a prototype perfume commercial with eye-tracking glasses, and the computer ends up superimposing the closing logo over the part he watched the most often (this being 1981, I'm sure you can imagine...)

2. The implication that the computer can determine the 'perfect' poses and actions for optimal viewer response ("Not enough body twist according to the computer"), and the physical model having to contort herself to fit the ideal (you can see a few seconds of this at 0:39 in the trailer - https://youtu.be/yoT-r1slAZ4)

> Typically you have a design system that keeps things consistent. So you would have maybe 5-6 different padding sizes, eg padding-s, padding-xl or whatever. That's why you don't just do style='padding: 1rem;'.

Well, I'm not saying you should do style='padding: 1rem;', I'm saying that padding-s has all the downsides of mixing styles into your markup, with none of the clarity of just using inline CSS. The solution isn't to use inline CSS, it's to use semantic class names.

I can see the convenience of naming your padding sizes for consistency: that's what SASS inheritance does.

> As for me using .centered, it was just a quick example, and you took it in bad faith and now are nitpicking minor details.

1. Cool it. Nobody is attacking you, you don't need to attack me. We're discussing ideas, not each others' faith.

2. I've encountered this antipattern in production code, so regardless of whether you were actually proposing it as a serious idea, some people do take this idea seriously, so it needs to be addressed. The problems I pointed out aren't theoretical: I've dealt with them in practice.
Indeed.

I have a theory, that many of the high-profile "advertiser boycotts" recently aren't really about content moderation. I suspect that companies simply don't want to promote their body wash in the middle of a constant screaming match about wearing masks.

Being on Facebook bums me out. It makes me dislike my extended family, and old colleagues or people I knew from school. I've been unable to completely wean myself off it (the "engagement" hooks are strong), but I genuinely feel dirty and unhappy with myself after browsing the site. It certainly doesn't foster a positive view toward brands that I see advertising there.

I wonder if: (1) that perspective is common, (2) large advertisers have figured it out, and (3) their "boycott over hate speech" is really just a clever way to get social-trend-extra-credit for a move they'd like to make anyway?
