why do you need a webcam? i wfh and all my meetings are audio only and optionaly someone shares the screen to show a demo or a presentation. we don't show our faces. the majority of colleagues have duct tape on the laptop's webcam. so for me, the missing cam from g14, is a feature
15 years ago when I was at my first IT job, young and full of vinegar, I would argue with our Swedish version[1] of this type of site about essentially the americanization of CS language.

At the time I was adamant about using pure Swedish, even for CS. I had some crazy ideas for how to translate regular expressions, of course reguljära uttryck doesn't make as much sense to me today...

How exactly do you plan on keeping occupation of a country when the entire place is full of armed citizens that don't like you? That's the point. A military coup in the USA is unlikely to succeed.

I disagree with your reasoning.

It appears to assume that the company or factory concerned has always existed.

There must have been some point at which said company did not exist at first, then came into being.

The person or people who started that company were likely to have begun it by;

- performing any and all research required into starting the company

- acquiring the premises (or starting from home/garage)

- doing the work themselves

- at the same time, managing the company; running the finances, sales, gaining new customers/contacts etc.

If the company thrived, they then considered additional workforce. Perhaps they replaced themselves with these new employees to take on a more managerial position. So now you have a person or people who are concentrating on the managerial/sales/contacting/financing side. And now the company has additional employees.

The company has provided employment to more than just the person or people who initially started that company.

I do not agree that is "exploitative". Nor do I agree that the profits are going to the company owners "for free" - the owners are still performing work in the company. It's only the nature of that work (i.e. the tasks which need to be performed in order to keep that company going) that are different.
My partner has some sinus congestion issues and we’ e been trying to find a remedy since forever.

We want to try this thing but want to make sure we’re trying it correctly. Have you encountered a more thorough explanation of this technique, preferably in a video?
I can only point to the public knowledge of the outcomes: either, under far stricter management, the new company alienates workers and long time customers... or, those companies do not survive, and are stripped down for their valuable assets and debtors get as little as possible due to bankruptcy.

People describe companies like Cerberus sort of like the undertaker of companies in a capitalist society, but I don't entirely agree with that metaphor.
So is smelly or mouldy french cheese. I think a lot of fermented products are basically preservation techniques gone sideways.

Smells funny, looks funny but doesn't make you sick when you eat it, you don't just throw food away when it is scarce. And after some time you develop a taste for it.
Nordic countries have minimum wages defined by collective bargaining agreements rather than the law - because unionization is so strong and the agreed minimums are relatively good, they don't really need national legal ones.

It's so backward to see companies shift to these abstracted whiteboard or homework assignments as some sort of standard, considering standardized testing is now falling out of favor in higher education as it is rarely indicative of actual potential success. It strikes me as lazy, just following a trend unrooted in any empirical data.

Maybe the solution is for companies to hire more thorough managers who are capable of vetting a github profile to see if the candidates skills are relevant to the position, not turn the interview process into a performance.
Sparkling Payloads: Leveraging Notarized Payloads and Sparkle for Initial Access

I don't agree humanities natural state was poverty. Yes, they were poor compared to now, but resources were shared and no one was "breaking out on their own". If you had a good hunt this was shared with the community, unlike the world we live in now were wealth is hoarded by a small few, so your comparison makes little sense.
It's time to switch to gait recognition I suppose. Same cameras, different algorithms. Where cameras can be upgraded they can be upgraded to also capture some IR bands, in which you can see through (some) masks, clothing, and even some plastics. Algorithms could stay roughly the same in that case.
While most of the focus here is understandably on the CPU side, there seems to be some interesting shifts taking place on the GPU side.

AMD currently has a process lead over Nvidia (and this is rumoured to be set to continue for a little while longer - apparently the first consumer Ampere chips are being fabbed on Samsung's inferior 8nm process due to lack of capacity at TSMC for the next few months)

Nvidia has clearly had an architecture advantage, although RDNA2 may close this gap, depending on how Ampere performs.

While Nvidia has had a much stronger showing in the GPGPU space, with CUDA helping it be the clear current winner, this also appears to have driven architecture decisions at Nvidia with the focus on tensor cores.

In gaming, Nvidia has put a lot of work into utilising these tensor cores for Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). The idea being that you render at a lower resolution and then use deep learning to upscale in real-time to higher resolutions. DLSS 2.0 made some leaps in quality and DLSS 3.0 is on the horizon. It will be interesting to see:

a) How well they can get this working
b) Is AMD working on its own version of this?
c) If so, how well will the RDNA architecture be suited to this approach?

Will be interesting to watch how this plays out!
True. But I was thinking along the lines of hardware bugs like the Pentium division bug. I doubt manufacturers go looking for those, and that would be one (albeit slightly contrived) way how someone could die from Intel's mistakes.
I love how BYOD has been translated to AVEC, which is French for 'with'.

An Honest, Relevant Review and Wakeup Call: My Scaler Academy Experience

I'm happy to help with this.

> ITER began in 1985 as a Reagan–Gorbachev[18][19] initiative[19][20] with the equal participation of the Soviet Union, the European Atomic Energy Community, the United States, and Japan through the 1988–1998 initial design phases. Preparations for the first Gorbachev-Reagan Summit showed that there were no tangible agreements in the works for the summit.

As a native anglophone working in France, I appreciate the general lack of chit-chatty openings to emails (even if the trend may be negative, as you say) as I generally prefer to get to the point.

But I have noticed, since the start of COVID, the meaningless "j'espère que tu vas bien" ("I hope you are well") at the top of many emails, which feels like exactly the thing you are talking about--a lifting and translation of a meaningless English phase that feels appropriate but adds nothing of substance.
Something I found fascinating about learning Chinese while living in China was knowing exactly what a character meant (because it was written on signs etc.), but having absolutely no idea how it was pronounced.
I don't see an English translation for "jardinage", which is a colloquial term used for a software memory corruption. I've seen many native French speaker translate it directly and talking of "gardening", but it may be a bit surprising for non-French speakers?...
Funny, the comment from the start-uper, to me, sounds like a implicit explanation that basic/fundamental research is OK as long as it has less priority than economy (in the sense of money making money).

There has been research that says the same thing, getting reading right early for the whole class is important.
Hard pass. People who do not buy Macbook pro do it because they don't like what's on offer. No point copying it. For example, latest laptops from Dell/ASUS/etc have 120Hz screens, sometimes even touch screens. If they were to just copy mac, we would never get these amazing features.
Came here to say just this. While I'm glad to see that research is finally culminating in investment and assembly we shouldn't be committing to this project just because people put time and effort into it.
Bill Gates to Stick with electric cars and rockets
> So, we'll run this ideal computer at 2.72548 Kelvin.

The record for lowest temperature is 1e-10 Kelvin and there is no theoretical limit as to how many zeroes can be added. So there is no hard limit, given good enough cooling/thermal isolation, the energy cost can be brought down. In theory, it can be brought down to zero.
How do we measure that it is really worth $30,000? You are saying it's worth it because someone wants to pay it. Maybe that's true, but TSLA stock has been worth anything from $200 to $1400 in the past few years. The actual worth to the bagholder in the event of the bubble popping is negative.

For your other point, yes, at an apples to apples comparison, the receipt of college credit and education/knowledge should remain the same. But the cost to produce it should be lower. And I'm arguing that the cost savings will not be passed on to the student, because there is no market mechanism that allows them to negotiate the price of their education.
Three Valued Structs
Because it still won't protect against unsafe code in Rust.

// very contrived example
fn main() {
let mut data = vec!(1, 3, 4);
unsafe {
let ptr = data.as_mut_ptr();

*(ptr.offset(1024)) = 1;
}
}

At some level there is some unsafe code, even if in pure Assembly.

There problem with C is that it taints everything due to strings, arrays and UB.

By the way, Android is also taking steps to introduce Rust on its codebase, hence the talks started by Google at Linux Plumbers conference.

As much as I love to rant on C, as long as POSIX based software is relevant, if WG 14 isn't willing to improve its security, hardware solutions are the only way.

I would love to see a push for more intellectual ownership over the code you contribute to your employer. I should be able to take any snippet I wrote and reuse it with impunity.

This might require engineers unionizing, but it would be a boon to the field. Patterns buried in closed source vaults would be disseminated and innovation would surge. It might usher in a golden age of software if everyone were able to freely share their intellectual ideas with their peers and not have to worry about risking their health insurance and home in the process.
The default mode is what happens when you stop interfering. What happens when a society stops doing anything, does it remain in it's current state? Then that is the default state and they have truly altered it. But it doesn't, of course.

Any individual may perceive it to be the default because they've never experienced anything else, but it would be foolish to believe it to be the actual default. History has taught us over and over again that it's not, that civilization may crumble and advances can be lost. Like somebody relying on their car always working because "it never died on me before" and not maintaining it well, they will eventually find that suddenly it does.

> What is "poverty is the default" supposed to be telling us?

I believe it's an important fact, because it changes the perspective. If wealth was the default, we'd just need to take care not to do some certain things that would change it, and had it happened, we'd just need to stop doing those things for it to automatically return to the default state. If poverty is the default, it's the opposite: you need to do something to end it, and you need to keep doing it.
Used to love this, thanks for the effort!
Could you expand on this?

HCL seems to be a language designed to avoid deadlocks, similar to eBPF, so the "code" of it is weird.. but I'm not sure I fully understand this comment otherwise. :S
> As a french, i can say that by using many of these words you would sound silly. But on the long run, it is clear that through regular changes to languages, people speak differently and actually believe to "think" differently.

Half of those on the list don't make any sense indeed. They could have picked a better french translation people actually use instead.

As an example I could point laptop being translated as "Ordinateur de giron"(?) instead of "Ordinateur portable" which is the term people actually use.

The stock price is in part determined by the discounted future Cashflow, the one of AMD is pointing upwards that of Intel seems neutral or declining. Intel had a long string of failures and bad acquisitions recently, which points to bad management. AMD has all the potential to attack Nvidia’s deep learning moat with in house talent. Maybe this is all wishful thinking though, but my AMD calls jumped 46% within a day.
In another submitted story regarding the rumor that Intel might rely on TSMC for some of its future products, one comment indicated that [1] "Intel’s fab capacity is several times TSMC’s".

I haven't fact-checked that, but given Intel's market share, it sounds plausible.

Intel may be behind on process and microarchitecture, but as long as they can ship that volume, and with a far better gross margin than AMD (Intel 53%, AMD 44%), I wouldn't count them done just yet.

That is indeed pretty much what it says on the tin.

However, to be fair, it has always been the most greedy and self-interested, with already the most disproportionate power to rig the game in their favor, that have been most vocally advocating this system. No surprise there, of course.

What fascinates me is how a majority of people, who certainly do not personally benefit from that system, have been made to believe that they do. Sure, political corruption, cultural indoctrination/propaganda, horrendous general education, and I can think of a few more .. but still I've always been amazed, how it appears to have canceled even basic logic reasoning among so many.

Who knows, maybe one day, it will turn out to not just "correlate" with an addiction to carbs/sugars, of which the country has plenty of problems with too. Junkies have always been easy to manipulate.

Until then, at least it still gives some hope that a growing number of people now realize that this system just doesn't work as it is advertised.
Not necessarily. It works in the short run, makes things more fun. Kid moves on and fails high school.

How do you keep your to-learn items – organized and prioritized?
I thought to organize all the things I want to learn since the pile has assumed gargantuan proportions. There are books I want to study, youtube playlists I want to learn from, MOOCs I want to take etc.

This does not even include the wish list of side projects I want to work on.

I find I am swimming in the deep !! For this year I know what I want to focus on (work requirement) but I am wondering if it worth the hassle to go through what I have marked to plan for later learning/deliberate practice.

How do you manage to prioritize what to learn ? And how do you organize this ?

I agree that the cliché whiteboard interview is just awful – I've had my share of terrible ones. However, there is one form of whiteboard interview that I really like – it's where the interview is about system design and architecture rather than coding problem nonsense.

I think the first time I saw this was at Google, where the question was pretty much "We are going to design Google Maps from scratch – what does it look like?". The interview is about evaluating the candidate's ability to ask sensible questions when designing a system, checking that they know how to analyse tradeoffs, and understand where they need to think about issues like performance or scaling.

I liked it so much that I've built it into our own recruitment process for our most recent role – it's a process that we go through a lot, even when making changes to existing systems. We do it as a one-hour long collaborative system design process with a short specification for a system that we want to build. We let the candidate lead the design, and help by providing feedback, discussing any ambiguities, and asking questions about specific areas of concern. It's been really interesting to see how different candidates have approached the process.

(Anecdotally, the biggest indicator of a good candidate so far has been the use of abstraction rather than concrete technologies - i.e. "I would have a queueing system here and an object store there" rather than "I would have Kafka here and push to S3 there").

I now prefer ComVer, "Compatible Versioning" [1][2]

> Not if they don't actually change the API.

If they don't effect behavior of the API, they'd be build-level, which is optional in SemVer.

> If you fix an internal server bug that relates to a visible change in the API, then yes, it's a patch in the semver.

Visible changes to the API are SemVer minor if they are backward compatible, SemVer major if they are not. The lower level fields of SemVer are for things that don't change the expected behavior of the public API, including (at the build level) those that don't effect visible behavior of the API.

SemVer is not API versioning, it's product versioning for a product that implements an API. (I agree that something like SemVer used to version independent APIs implemented by a product is in some respect a better idea than SemVer itself, except that package management systems don't support API identification and versioning in a way which would let it be useful in most cases; SemVer is product versioning for the world where your product version needs to both tell about product increments that don't effect the public API and those that do.)

Regarding mkorostoff's 1 pixel wealth page. Taking wealth from the richest is very difficult. You'll have to find a way to make them agree with it. If you forcibly take money from people then you're just an angry mob. The only thing that would appear fair is higher taxes and maybe a wealth tax [0] but a 100 billion dollars buys you a lot of lobbying power. The worst case scenario is that the rich just hide their wealth.

[0] One could even make a concession and let the wealthy choose among a list of approved charities/projects to spend the taxed money on.
This sounds sadistic to me. I've spent a long time on dumb typos, which become a lot harder to spot when you are stressed and on a deadline. Chances are if you are applying for work, you are probably stressed about not having a job.
