Indeed, world police is the role any international hegemon plays to secure trade routes and stability. But I wouldn't discredit the idea entirely. NATO does have its requirements and few members chip in their fair share. Furthermore, geopolitical interests are shifting and this fact may be politically useful. Right now, for example, the US, Germany/EU, and Russia are fighting over influence in the central European states with Poland at the helm. Shifting military presence eastward strengthens American influence, blocks Russian meddling, and frustrates German/EU power in the region, though the last is trying to make the US dominance work for them (note Germany's interest in the American-backed Three Seas Initiative).

> It’s a little concerning that a Youtube channel with maybe 500 - 1000 Patreon supports and few ads can be a living, but musicians need to tour, to make a profit.

I’m not sure what you mean. The musician can be a YouTuber making a living from Patreon and ads.
Haha, yeah, that doesn't sound bitter and hateful at all.
Obviously mutability is not an issue in OOP alone. Note, however, how I said, “how normal is it that our methods mutate instance variables?”. A well-skilled programmer can always choose to not use the footgun a language hands them. But those are not the only people to consider.

As for structs, you could qualify the pointee of a pointer argument as `const` but this is as rare in C as the equivalent is in OOP languages.
You can also increase the number by decreasing the gender studies majors instead of increasing the CS majors.
I think it's for the datacenter. They have already purchased Mellanox. In many HPC applications, having fast GPUs and fast interconnects is 99% of what you need. A reasonably competent CPU architecture would round this out, and I don't think RISC-V is there yet.

ARM have also made some HPC plays, e.g. buying Allinea (probably the best supercomputer debugging tool).

I'd love to know why some of the major companies of the internet aren't using DNSSEC.

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Netflix, etc. don't have DNSSEC enabled for their domains.

Is it as simple as they're just concerned about the occasional DNS request failing to do DNSSEC issues and thus reducing precious traffic?
The search engines also receive value in being an index or directory that people can use to lookup articles. The situation here is somewhat unique because Google is in a position to reap all of the benefit from this relationship by just scraping the content and displaying it directly to the user.

A comparable scenario would be something like the phone book or yelp where these directories have value to users but they simply refer users to the businesses advertising in the directory.
Even if you do not want a relationship with someone, forgiveness is a way to feel better yourself. It's not about making some one else better, it's about your quality of life.

After ten years I'm almost there, but it got better after my first step of deciding to forgive, still get panic attacks though.
Exactly:

It's a valid feeling to believe your parents either did know better or should have known better. And that also does not preclude forgiveness.
Heh. As a kid, that story inspired me to write a knockoff where the plot was basically:

That's why having at least three "heavies" as part of the consortium will enforce good behavior or at least keep it from getting out of control. Well-armed (legal teams) companies are polite companies... (except Oracle, but they are mainly a litigation firm that also sells databases).
That‘s pretty cool.

One reason I prefer Apple Numbers to Excel is that in Numbers you arrange tables on a canvas. The tables can refer to each other. I think it makes it easier to work with, for example, an input table and an output table because they are separate entities and not just different ranges on the same grid. It’s similar to how some websites enable you to configure a dashboard view of multiple tables and charts.

Your presentation reminded me of that, specifically the view of how you implemented the tool in itself. But you’re using one large table rather than a collection of tables on a canvas.

I’m wondering if the Numbers approach might work better. In particular it might be more natural for dynamic arrays because they would not “overlay” a range of cells. They would be their own dynamically resizing table on the canvas. This might lead to something like Spreadsheet 2000: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreadsheet_2000
Multi 2.0: Create a custom macOS app from a group of websites
In this and many other conversations nowadays I find myself wondering how the narrative applies through the lens of three different groups:

- Those who are generally in good health (mental and physical) and who may have experienced difficulties in the past but do not dwell on them

- People who are victims and who encounter regular struggles as a result -- likely the intended audience of articles like this

- Sociopaths who at best do not understand the emotional pain of others, and at worst enjoy inflicting it

I hope the advice in the article is genuinely intended to help people in the second group.

Sometimes I fear that content is authored or perpetuated by people from the third group who would prefer to place the responsibility for repair on the victims.

And frequently I find that the audience who reads and discusses it is the first group, without really understanding the others and in particular how charming, reasonable and attractive the third group can appear.

In short and in my experience: it is probably good advice but it should not detract focus from the harm that some people willingly cause.
I think the defense spending reasoning particularly ironic, given that half of the troops being moved out of Germany are going to Italy and Belgium, which spend a far smaller share of GDP on defense than Germany.

I think the move is really poorly thought out if the goal is to penalize Germany and discourage their behavior. Because what is Germany losing? The political embarrassment of having troops leave? Is that really worth the billions it will cost to move troops? Because I feel like if the US was willing to spend billions to apply political pressure to Germany there could have been much more effective ways to go about it. And then there's the damage this does to the security of Europe broadly. If this in any way reduces our ability to deter Russia, that hurts all of NATO, not just Germany.
That could be in Intel’s favor if this becomes an example of “deworsification”. Something to be said about focusing purely on one use-case.
I think the media companies are in the wrong. Google is providing a beneficial arrangement, and the media companies are demanding that google pays them.
Web Developer Self-Evaluation
Another thing with a PhD is that it is no guarantee that you'll even be hireable. I know of a number of PhD candidates who have trouble interacting in a professional setting outside of the of 'I deserve deference because I have a PhD, you don't necessarily even deserve respect' mentality.

I find sometimes a PhD can come with very ingrained attitude issues. I recall working for a company with a new-recruit development program where really the only way to fail out was through attitude issues. One of the people who oversaw the program mentioned that she's only ever seen people with PhDs and higher fail out over this issue.
FWIW, Intel has been pushing towards launching a dedicated discrete GPU platform. If/when they recover, this would place us in having three distinct CPU/GPU companies.

Generally speaking, any app you haven't heard of yet is now at a disadvantage.

Specifically, this would have crushed rising giants like TikTok and Wish who each have spent over a billion on app install ads before they reached escape velocity.

There are thousands of medium sized apps that try every day to reach to new users, and now it will be more expensive (potentially prohibitively expensive) to do so.
My therapist has recently recommend "The Grief Recovery Handbook"[1] to me to deal with a breech of trust in my life. I never thought of that as "grief" but as we went through it, it's really put a new perspective on things.

The book also talks about the importance of forgiveness and explains it this way:

"Since you cannot go back in time to change the past, forgiveness is about giving up the hope of a different or better yesterday. It relates to forgiving actions that were taken, that gave you the feelings of loss of control over your happiness. It’s about acknowledging those things that another did or said that caused pain and making the decision that you are not going to let that hurt or control you anymore.

Forgiveness can be very empowering. It can give you the chance to be free of another person’s emotional control. It has nothing to do with the other person. As was said before, it is something that is for you and you alone."

They probably have no idea how to hype up ARM. It's like I bought out Apple Store in NY in cash but have no idea what to do with it other than to admire it
At any given moment there are a fixed number of jobs, and so a fixed number of "good jobs". I can grant that the number of good jobs isn't fixed on the scale of years. But people that want/need good jobs usually can't wait years for them to materialize. On the timescales that matter to individuals, the number of good jobs is fixed and so the competition for them is effectively zero-sum.

There also seems to be a scale issue when it comes to the availability of good jobs. That is, not all jobs can be good (i.e. high paying) and there is an essential order-of-magnitude difference between the number of high paying jobs and the number of low paying jobs required to make the economics work. So the proportion of good jobs is effectively fixed even on longer timescales.
Bad move as some channels love that their content gets translations into other languages as helps them and they can't afford to pay for that and it's fans/supporters/people learning that create that. That's all going to go.

What they should and hopefully will still do is - allow it to happen still, but give control to the content creator to authorise it and only authorised is public. That way you get the best of it all. Then you would have a way to acknowledge any abuse/spam and get on that instead of liberally tarnishing all community captioners as spammy evil people who should be stopped as that is how they are doing it. Playing the, we're doing this as bad things happen focus and utterly and completely ignoring every positive good aspect of this. A pattern many a company/government uses and still don't make it right. This approach is what I call "Think of the children 2.0", same thing in effect, just more meanutiatered and subtle approach and yet still heavy on the blinkers.

King Diamond is on Roadrunner (1986 - 1990) and Metal Blade (1995 - now).[1] Actually looks like he's re-releasing his old stuff on Metal Blade as well.[2] (Tempting to pick it up on Vinyl when I already have the original CDs.)

Anyway, those are US labels and distributed by for instance WMG outside the US. I would assume those have nothing to do with that Koda group; Metal Blade even has uploaded entire albums of his on YouTube.[3]

Maybe the most obvious one - IQ? Even if you don't think it measures intelligence, it's highly predictive of success in areas such as this.
For large interwoven software systems this complexity seen in the form of service layers, directory services, distributed quorums, etc. is often necessary to achieve availability guarantees. I think that the problem is that engineers are over eager to design these sorts of things and implement them before they're actually necessary. And they do it badly and make life shitty in the process because they still don't fully understand the requirements for such a system. OOP just happens to be the language feature they use to make a mess. It would still be no fun even if they used a straight procedural language like C.

I can’t help but feel free speech absolutists are the same species as economists, all believing that every human is a rational actor with perfect information.

The Orion Welles “War of the Worlds” recital should feature more in the discussion of the ethics of free speech, along with study of propaganda and the predisposition of humans to believe the first version of a story they hear.

Holocaust denial does hurt people, just because you don’t see the harm being done doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Typically what happens is one person with a public position denying the Holocaust happened empowers their audience to engage in anti-Semitic behaviour, which ultimate devolves to abuse of semites (typically Jews more than arabs).

As an example of how unlike the rational actor with perfect information most humans are, just one newspaper report here in Australia regarding two POC violating quarantine has friends who are also POC starting a petition wanting the quarantine violators thrown in jail — no regard for the rich white COVID-positive couple who returned from Aspen Colorado and hosted multiple dinner parties while in “quarantine.”

Some folks are so focussed on their perceived rights they have no time o pay attention to social obligations such as duty of care.

At the University of Washington (which consistently ranks at the level of MIT and Stanford for Computer Science), someone with a bachelor's in Computer Science would generally be expected to complete at least two of:
* Operating Systems: Either implement lock/fork, assorted system calls, and virtual memory for OS/161; or implement a device driver.
* Networks: Implement the Tor protocol or a project of similar complexity.
* Compilers: Implement a compiler for simplified Java including at least constant propagation or a similar optimization.
* Animation: A year-long course series that culminates with animating a few-minute long movie.
* A small video game.
* A Maps-style program for finding the shortest walk between any two locations on campus, including displaying that information. This one was required for Computer Science.

All but the last of these were done in groups of 2-3 people. It might have been theoretically possible to graduate with only one big project, if you took machine learning, security (the final project for this one was finding an exploit in Firefox, but no actual code was required), and some heavy theory classes. Most people would have done at least 3-4 big projects like this.
Many developed countries in e.g. Europe don't actually have universal academic high school like the US does - they have perhaps 1/3 of people go to academic high school, where it is more difficult than in the US (perhaps comparable to the difficulty of AP classes). The rest go to vocational or semi-vocational school.

Isn't this a monopoly? doesn't seem very legal. If the future is so dependent on GPU compute, and there are only 2 companies (AMD/NVIDIA) making them.... isn't it insane to only have 2 companies the entire world depends upon?

Edit: ok Duopoly, but still... kinda insane that only 2 companies in the world do it.
If it is a serious endeavor, I suggest it is well worth your money to speak with a lawyer who works in this area.

Random internet people are generally not the best for assessing the regulatory costs of your intentionally vague business venture, and most lawyers would be happy to compile this type of information for a fair fee with the hopes that you will then use them for jumping through the regulatory hoops when you launch.
Also keep in mind that Softbank has needed money to pay off their large debt load, which probably reduces the amount of leverage they have in negotiations.
The weird thing is that licensing bodies, like writers guilds et al, are supposed to represent the financial interests of artists and other folks involved in the process.

They've built a reputation for being stodgy and backwards because of their ham-fisted handling of DRM/piracy/mp3 sales, but insisting that YouTube funnels real money back to artists is exactly what they ought to be doing.
No, if anything it's overvalued. Previous year's profit was just over $400m. At a 10x multiple that's a $4bn price tag. If you go the year before it was over $600m, which at a 10x multiple is $6bn. Even a crazy 30x multiple would only be $18bn. Softbank massively overpaid, which is why Softbank is SELLING Arm and other companies, because they racked up massive debt.
Not sure about that. Obama halted the deployment of the missile defense shield in Poland/Czech Republic and reset the US relationship with Russia. Anyone who understands Russia knew that was about as idiotic of a move you could have made (barring any kind of strategic aim to lull Russia into demonstrating its intentions in Georgia and Ukraine, but I doubt foreign policy is that forward thinking, and American Euromaidan just reveals its duplicity). Given Biden's eastern ties, I would not be surprised if he halted any plans to move US troops eastward.
Tsmc needs to have customers for their products. In theory they could convince my company to build our chips with them (though I think we are happy with whatever process our current suppliers have which is probably in the 60nm range - obviously if I had insight into that side of the business I couldn't talk), but out column is only a few thousand chips a year. They would love to take our money, but they won't build a plant to make chips just for us. However if they think they can get AMD as a customer, that is enough to make a plant for as even worst case there will be enough volumn to pay off the loans (that is break even), and that lets them sell capacity to people like us who might be willing to pay a higher margin.

I would bet that Tsmc was courting amd for years. It is too expensive to build a foundry without some big customers committed. You can build a foundary for someone who won't order for a few years and you have to manage the risks of all the big customers (they might go bankrupt, they might never commit to...), so the more the better.

> That the media considers the latter to be the threat to democracy says a lot about who they think should actually control the country.

A man who, when asked about whether or not he will accept the next election's result, responds with 'We'll see', is objectively a pretty serious threat to democracy.

Simply voicing that opinion (and never following through on it) makes him a threat to, at minimum the public perception of the legitimacy of democracy - since democracy is one of those things that only works when people believe in it.
While ARM can be great, I don’t think anyone is entirely writing off x86. Intel owns a lot of fab. And while I don’t get as hyped on it as other people, Intel going hard into RISCV could change the game for ARM (if it was handled in non-typical-Intel way)

> Good jobs are zero-sum.

Without universal high school, the USA would still be a largely illiterate subsistence farming nation with high rates of poverty as defined at the global scale.

Even well-paying jobs in the trades require literacy and basic mathematics skills.

So, no, good jobs aren't zero-sum.
Anecdotes aren’t data but I wholeheartedly +1 this anecdote. Whether it’s something with the products or something with the users that buy these types of products but I have seen correlation in my own experience, once myself included.
Nvidia hardware is great but my biggest concern is that this would eventually spell the end for Raspberry Pis and other good things that are ARM. That would not be cool.
It checks perfectly. Germany isn't part of the eastern flank, Poland is.

Germany has absolutely no need to have US soldiers stationed in their territory. They're fully capable - in all regards - of defending their own nation. Adding soldiers to Poland is strengthening the eastern flank because Poland is in Eastern Europe, Germany is not.

If the US removes 100% of its soldiers from Germany and adds only 3,000 to Poland, that also would be strengthening the eastern flank.
Maybe it’s not a nation but at the very least it’s a nation is likely turning a blind eye to those who are doing it as it aligns with their interests.
