OP here. It we because we were getting customers like Schneider Electric and WeWork that made me more confident to raise the prices.

I don't know about most, but it seems like many "not very high end" laptops from around 2015 didn't have 5 GHz.

My late 2013 mbp has it and I discovered the other day that it can actually negotiate up to around 1 Gb/s.

On the other hand, I have an HP ProBook 430 G2 lying around the office. I don't know when it was bought, but it has an i5-4210U which according to intel was launched in Q2 2014. So the laptop must be from late 2014. It has a Realtek RTL8723BE PCIe wifi card which doesn't know about 5 GHz. It works acceptably well otherwise.

> The entire point of CSS is to separate style from structure

This may be the stated point, but it breaks down in many cases. Tailwind, Tachyons, etc. are often a more straightforward, maintainable approach.
OP here. I didn't raise prices for existing customers. FTA:

> I’ve never put up prices for existing customers. I’m okay with people getting the price they started with indefinitely. It is the way I’d want to be treated as a customer. Anyway, within a couple of years, as existing customers churn, the “problem” of older customers paying less will simply go away.

According to the blog post, TinyPilot also uses µStreamer (from this Pi-KVM project) to achieve its low latency. The initial revision of TInyPilot couldn't get low enough latency using the HDMI over IP extender otherwise.

Disabling swap only prevents major page faults on anonymous memory. You want to avoid all page faults by using mlockall (https://linux.die.net/man/2/mlockall). At that point swap settings doesn't matter. But yeah, disable swap anyway just in case.

Close enough that they had to be asked to back off after having already ignored Coast Guard requests.

————

As the capsule bobbed in the water, a recovery team instructed the boaters to stay away.

The Coast Guard warned boaters to stay clear of the area in a radio broadcast two hours before the splashdown, said the spokesman, Petty Officer Third Class John Michelli.
“With limited assets available and with no formal authority to establish zones that would stop boaters from entering the area,” he said, “numerous boaters ignored the Coast Guard crews’ requests and decided to encroach the area, putting themselves and those involved in the operation in potential danger.”

Well yeah you better preach what you teach or look like an idiot
At some future date, assuming the GPT-3 adherents are right, nobody will "write code" because we will describe systems design goals to an intermediary which then writes the code.

Where is the tech then?

I do think there is tech and non-tech. But it gets very like pornography and the Meese commission: I know it when I see it.

What I find hard, is how many people writing for the REPL or compiled languages, dismiss what is done in CSS or in JS outside of webasm. or PHP. The arrogance is the exclusionary behaviour.

Carmack is very smart. Had he been born 40 years earlier he might well have been the one to work out how to optimise track to head delay on a drum memory, or hacked delay lines, or even have done something amazing in LSI before VLSI. But then some non-carmack doing bitblt optimisations to make games happen would have been wondering "am I a real tech or not"

(btw I think GPT-3 Adherents are smoking strong stuff. I don't expect anyone to write informally stated natural language of intent and have proscriptive, defined code come out the other side, but you know this is a strawman argument too)

I graduated in 82. Because I did not do the Mudge VLSI Course I was held in somewhat contempt by my peers who did. I did Pascal. I was held somewhat in contempt by the Fortran NAG library maintenance squad. We who ran the boxes, and wrote controllers for the plotter were a bit contemptuous of the ones coding for the BBC micro and I was completely distainful of the guy coding .BAT files. None of this is "good" behaviour because we were all doing "tech" But the guys in the engineering labs doing Hypersonic wind tunnels were sometimes a bit elitist about us in s/w ... Over in the school for the logical foundations in computer science they were already writing abstract meta-code which was as far removed from an instruction set as its possible to be: theories of computation, proof systems, you name it.

Physicists and Engineers have been arguing for centuries about the difference between their disciplines.
Differences between Deutsche Post and the USPS:

1) They do not collect mail at houses or even street postboxes - you have to find a letterbox to drop your stamped letters, and those are less frequent than bus stops. My nearest two are about 400-500 meters away from my house in a neighborhood dense enough for an U-Bahn stop (and neither is at said U-Bahn stop). A good prompt for a walk for my able-bodied, middle-aged household, but hellaceously inconvenient for our 80+ year old neighbors.

2) A regular national letter is 0.80 EUR (US$0.94) in a country that does not have houses or small neighborhoods that are miles from anything else.

3) There are a few full service post offices that are also Postbank offices, but most parcel acceptance happens at shops that have DHL as a sideline. My city of 130,000 has two full service post offices, and one of them is only open 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-17:00 (and of course that's the one I have to pick up parcels that won't fit into the automated lockers at...)

Overall, privatized Deutsche Post is quite reliable, but its stability comes with trade-offs that the USPS is not allowed to make.

Those two links do not imply what you think they imply. Those are problems with registrations, not ballots.

If you truly consider problems with the VRDBs a high priority, then advocate for nationwide automatic universal voter registration, like every other mature democracy has done, thereby eliminating the problem.

Further, I really do think you should compile an exhaustive list of all the problems and attack vectors you've found. Start by comparing and contrasting the procedures from misc jurisdictions. Observe some elections. Attend all the canvassing board meetings for an entire election cycle. Interview election administrators. Etc.

What you learn may surprise you.

Free software has 2 common meanings. That says nothing about open source.

FOSS is also written F/OSS. It reflects that the common meaning of open source and the less common meaning of free software are almost identical. GNU says "...we know of only a few cases of source code that is open source but not free. In principle it could happen that some free programs are rejected as open source, but we don't know if that has ever happened."[1]

Source available is an unambiguous and more descriptive name for the kind of software that matters to you. Nobody can force you to call it that. But don't expect other people to change their definition of open source.

That says nothing about their ideals. Microsoft coined shared source the same year Steve Ballmer called Linux a cancer.[2][3]

I suspect in a lot of large organizations the first rule of UX isn't even make it aesthetically pleasing to users, it's make it aesthetically pleasing to PMs in product demos.

And they may or may not even interact with the software directly, or for very long.

Teams will build software aligned with the immediate incentives they have, never assume those incentives are even remotely close to those that might make the business succeed in the actual market.
Not a good test.

If they expect a decent ROI, the attack can't cost any amount up to $4.5M to execute.

The $4.5M isn't a guaranteed outcome from such an attack. Some targets may not be willing to pay, or may only be willing to pay a substantially smaller amount.

Also, part of the execution cost is the non-monetary "breaking the law" factor. For instance, would you rather make a legal $1M or an illegal $2M?
As long as the backed up data can't be infected.
They provide a balance of governance and flexibility that allows team members to work independently to create new designs, but not have CSS specificity get out of hand.

One main benefit is to constrain the actual power of CSS specificity.

The other main benefit is that these micro-styles map closely to design semantics, not functional semantics. This is covered in the OP. At a certain scale, the number of distinct functional semantics grows huge, but the design semantics remain bounded.

1. If the reasoning is that a hostile foreign government could use sensitive data against the US and thus shouldn't be allowed to collect such data then such policy is being arbitrarily enforced. There are other companies (FaceApp comes to mind) that collect data on Americans that don't have such scrutiny from the executive branch. Furthermore, American companies that collect sensitive data regularly give access to foreign entities (e.g. Cambridge Analytica, which abused Facebook's sharing agreement with academic institutions but there nonetheless exists such sharing agreements). If the use of CIFIUS is a part of a broader strategy against China then such a strategy should be outlined somewhere, announced and debated in Congress. This is a special decision taken unilaterally against TikTok.

2. I don't think the executive branch's reasoning is limited to the potential of abuse. Representatives of the Trump administration have stated that they are concerned with data that TikTok currently collects, which they say merits a national security concern. It seems like they are making these claims to get the public on board with the measures, but claims like this require specifics and evidence. Even if I agree with TikTok being banned from the US over security concerns, I don't want to feel propagandized by the US government.

3. What sensitive data are we talking about!? This is the elephant in the room. It seems like the big concern is over email address + geographical location + TikTok viewing history + images of faces. TikTok still lives on platforms that are heavily sandboxed and secured by very interested teams at Google and Apple. Nobody has made a credible accusation that TikTok is exploiting some zero day to gain access to users' sensitive data.

4. This isn't a part of a broader talk about the dangers of tech companies collecting too much data. There doesn't seem to be any plans to restrict data collection nation-wide. Maybe the executive branch is taking this on a case-by-case basis but a more reasonable explanation seems to be that Trump simply doesn't like TikTok or is using his power to muscle out foreign businesses as a bargaining chip in a larger China dispute.

xscreensaver is nice when you eliminate all the "busy" modes and then turn down all the sliders on each mode you have left so that it moves very slowly.

If it were a '69 Camaro, 'vette, or Mustang, sure, the older hardware would be exciting. However, they would not be very good daily drivers. Their fuel efficiency is crap, their safety features are non-existent, but they do look cool. If all I did was boring text based code work, then maybe an old hunk-o-junk could suffice, yet it's fuel efficiency (battery life) would also suck. I do get the fact that they might be dirt cheap, but you better buy 2 of them because anyone with an old car that runs has a junk car to get parts from to keep the other one running.
Support for a TEMPEST mode of communication would be a killer feature. Perhaps vibrate mode on one phone being picked up by the accelerometer of another?

In our hypothetical dystopian future The Regime will probably jam 2Ghz to 5Ghz in public spaces. TEMPEST mode would also force them to install vibrators into all coffee shop tables.
What is preventing a company from hiring a developer or two for very cheap to "work" on the obfuscated code, but not do any real work (or better yet, just bundle it into an existing job description of a qa member or a dev on some other team or something)? How would you prove in court that the devs "working" on the obfuscated version weren't the ones doing the work? It brings into question which version is actually preferred over the other, and how do you answer that? Based off number of commits or changes on the branches? Obfuscated version could easily be gamed to have more commits, and given that it's obfuscated, it might have even more individual changes just by default. I imagine there are some companies that think these questions are worth pondering.
I think the author's point is that modern toolchains make spinning up a basic web app more like following a recipe, and as such is free of many (novel) technical challenges. As technology goes, it's still complex, but so is building a microwave oven and yet we don't call GE's white goods department a tech company. It's a challenge that's already been tackled and is well understood.

If your web app is doing something that's never been done before, which requires the application of scientific principles and so on, like... translating baby babbles into English, then it's still technology, but that would not be because it's a web app.
The difference is between pervasive laziness (laziness by default) v/s laziness by opt-in.

If you have laziness by opt-in, then most parts of the language will not opt-in [from prior experience with, say, racket which also has lazy streams].

It's the pervasive and efficient compilation of laziness in Haskell which makes it actually useful to write lazy programs.

Now, am I a fan of writing lazy programs? No, I find the upshot of referential transparency gained by laziness to be overshadowed by the warts it brings --- lack of a good debugging experience, tie-the-knot semantics being fragile, etc. I'd rather live in a strict total programming language.

But one cannot "handwave" away laziness in haskell that easily by saying "you can emulate it in $STRICT_LANGUAGE". By the exact symmetric argument, one can emulate strict code inside haskell: just use `ST` or `IO`. But very rarely does one see whole libraries written strictly, because this style of code doesn't compose with the (default) laziness and purity in haskell.
Great story. Also debunks the commonly held belief that developers won’t pay for code / libraries / components.

I’m pretty annoyed by the inscrutability of some new UIs, their total lack of interactive cues and discoverability. It makes me feel old and most importantly it reminds me that often if not always, it’s not the potential utility that motivated my interest in applications, but a primal curiosity to tinker. The reward comes fryom just fidgeting with the widget and nothing more. Essentially a form of procrastination.
That would work with a heat pump setup. Liquid nitrogen cooling is usually done by evaporating into the air directly on the processor package (as far as I know). So you would always have condensation inside the server case. Hmm, I guess a isolated duct for evaporated nitrogen to escape and heating the outside of that duct to ambient temp.
What does Last of Us say about fungi?

In the beginning, Joel will have to move inside confined spaces, thick contamined air fully surrounding him. In order to protect himself, he will put on his old gas mask that he's been using for years. Somehow that's sufficient. The spores apparently don't contaminate his hair, his clothes, his backpack, his weapons. Once he's cleared the area, he simply takes off the mask and moves on.

So I'm not sure if anything of substance can be learned from this game.

how is Germany's solution any different than giving unemployment benefits for furloughed employees? Regarding the Fed, they _could_ just print gobs of money, and probably nothing bad will happen in the near future. But if you want examples of why printing gobs of money is bad, just looks at the many other countries that tried that. Also, I would think that if the fed decides to print gobs of money, it would be bad for them to allocate all of it to repaying bank mortgages. I would much prefer the money gets distributed to the people (eg. $1,200 per person) or as loans to keep small businesses afloat until after the pandemic

Suspending evictions means the debt is still piling up, so the threat of needing to eventually pay or becoming homeless does not go away. As for landlords, mortgage payments (another form of economic rent) would then be suspended. The freeze needs to actually travel up the debt chain, rather than it suffering some small hiccup while being generally expected to continue.

Other countries have more of a safety net, and less of an inflationary treadmill. A better safety net (eg continuing direct subsidies for the unemployed, and expanding them to cover small business rent) is another option, and probably the more practical one. But there is this American tendency to characterize such things as deliberate meddling with some default state of affairs. So I am mainly pointing out that this needing to feed the debt black hole is itself a result of explicit federal policy.
The main one I know of is international money transfers (remittances). Usually these have to go through an oligopoly that sets the fees and exchange rates to be favorable to itself.
