I think it would do well in today's climate, but you definitely need to get rid of the "German" and replace it with something less general, maybe "Nazi"? (It works because VW actually did work with Nazis in the 40s). Not every German worked for the specific team at VW that propagated this crisis, just like not every German even knew about the camps, so they don't deserve to be targeted by a broad brush like that.
Two thoughts here:

1. Even if the end-medium is something else than a written document (presentation, video etc), you're still presenting your ideas from a->b->c, so the gaps are still there and aren't as apparent, but the recipients' brain still observe it.

2. If your writing goes unread, it can actually be a symptom of the lack of convincing presentation of the ideas. I spend probably 50% on the time on the introduction and it's what I write dead last. Another problem may be length: if it's too long it'll tire the reader (unless your writing is very good). Problem is that to write something compelling that is also short, is very very hard. I can bang out a 10-page document on a deadline in a day without much problem, but a 2-pager I'll have to spend much more time on.

Writing is very much a must-have, in the corporate or business environment especially.

I just managed to buy the third edition from Amazon for less than $150. Thanks for the tip!
> If there is to be any hope for in-person schooling not only in the fall but in the spring—when a safe vaccine, even if one exists, might not be fully available—a rapid change in course is necessary.

Consider how much is riding on a vaccine now. The CDC is a non-player at this point and hasn't been since March. The three pillars of rolling back a pandemic (testing, contact tracing, and isolation) lie in shambles. Other countries' success in rolling back infections point to a massive failing within the US.

And that leaves the vaccine. The consensus is that early next year one will be available.

What if that doesn't happen?

It wasn't too long ago that Americans were being asked for "15 days to stop the spread." What if the actual time turns out to be measured in years? Decades?

What effect will a protracted period of wave after wave of infection transmitted through well-meaning but ignorant school administrators have on public education? On the fabric of society?
Apple Silicon has been pretty impressive as it outperforms many laptops and desktops in benchmarks.

This guy even used the A12 chip from 2018. The A13 is even faster and ships on all iPhone 11's and even the $399 iPhone SE 2nd gen.

I am eager to see how Apple Silicon will do in the upcoming MacBooks.
I feel like some people’s frustrations with Torvalds falls under “don’t meet your heroes”.

Not that I’m imparting any thing to him personally, but separately I wonder if “the greats” through out history would be remembered differently if they sent out weekly emails that were archived perfectly forever? I suspect Jefferson and Ghandi and MLK and Turing and Tesla would have more flaws than we are currently willing to accept of “idols” if they were on weekly email chains with the public. Again, not that Torvalds is or isn’t near any of them, just that with access to someone comes perspective, and we never had this level of access to the people considered great contibutors historically.
I honestly mean the following statement as a kindness to you:

You need to suffer. It will probably do you some good.
To expand on this - instead of using a media converter, use a small managed switch.

A 'dumb' media converter is a little bit cheaper but there's no way of knowing if the failure is due to the cable, the media converter on either end, or what. Without physically inspecting it, that is.

All fine for something inside your house but not something where you have a remote location.
You can always blow metal-free fiber in pipes. I'd use PE pressure pipe of suitable size, pull a string into it with a vacuum cleaner and pull fiber in... Hopefully the fiber survives.
That’s one very liberal interpretation for “terrorist”.

If your skin is too thin to deal with angry customers you should not be facing them. There’re plenty of back office jobs out there. If you’re an enterpreneur, you probably should hire someone if you’re too easily offended.

Most of those angry customers are people who are suffering some kind of pain inflicted by your product. Some people are arsholes, others don’t handle stress well. Some have something else going on with their lives and this was a tipping point. Others are simply rude. But terrorist? No, they’re not terrorists.

The Snowden revelations pale in comparison to the abuses of the evil CCP. Has The Great Leap Forward been forgotten already? Or, if that's too long ago, let's ask the Uighurs. But don't be too quick to agree; I wouldn't want the CCP to disappear any of your family for being critical of the regime. Because you know, that's what happens in the US when someone is critical of Trump, they get sent to a black site. Oh wait, no, that doesn't happen in the US.

> It'll save you some typing if you stick to relevant examples, is my point.

It's telling that you haven't offered any counterexamples, which is understandable, since the whole idea you've posited that government can do this cost effectively is just totally absurd.

> Taxpayers shouldn't be funding something they have no control over.

Unsupported dogmatism, and of a silly variety: taxpayers do this all the time.

> And as I pointed out and I'm not sure you read, my option is much cheaper than $600/month/person.

You asserted it without offering any real support for it. Congrats.

> Expecting taxpayers to swoop in and pay people's rent is also expensive, immoral, and disruptive.

Your calculation about what's least disruptive is completely wrong, so nothing else you say about this is making any sense.

> That isn't relevant and you are representing that moving houses is an insufferable hardship.

Becoming homeless is quite a hardship, and would be a widespread consequence if anyone adopted your weird policy ideas.
$600/week unemployment, even when including state benefits, is well under minimum wage in almost all urban areas. I don't know which small businesses your friends own, nor where they are, but jobs that pay that low aren't representative of a significant fraction of the real economy (and, let's be honest: the ones that really sit in this realm tend to be staffed by undocumented workers anyway who wouldn't qualify for these benefits).

Broadly: I think this is mostly spin, and would want to see a real study instead of anecdotes from friends.

not sure what you are expecting. We wont be able to deal with this unless we get a vaccine and if we dont exactly what are you expecting us to do? The consequences of keeping things in lockdown are plentiful and we already know children arent being affected. So protect old and frail and lets get back to a semi normal reality taking all the precausions we can.
People have been wanting ARM servers since the first ones were announced. But there are two big problems. First, there is no unified boot- and device initialisation-standard. So you cannot just put in a bootable USB stick and expect it to work. Second, you can not reliably order any hardware, just very small series just above prototype stages...
Having data caps qualifies solidly as the days of yore for me, as much as not having HTTPS. Are there really areas in the United States that still have them? The only capped plans I'm aware of are satellite or mobile broadband, and that's for folks who live in rural areas.
The first part made sense but the second part didn’t. The server people won’t be waiting. If they could profitably port their workload to another platform then they would just do it.
Increasing flow and decreasing concentration through most filtration assemblies generally increase their effectiveness. There are some exceptions in certain active transport systems that I can think of and the kidneys certainly do some of that, but even then the system has to be operating above a certain optimal flow.

Healthy skepticism that this makes a difference in day to day human health may be warranted, but skepticism that the claim is even meaningful in the first place is not. Your body does routinely contain a lot of toxins, and it has mechanisms to clean them out. “Polluted” is not a binary yes/no attribute anywhere else in the world and it hits not binary in your body either; it gets more or less polluted as it excretes less or more waste.

Actually, it's a perfectly fair comparison. When people are worried if they'll make it through the year intact, they'll seek some form of certainty to help them feel less vulnerable to ruin.

China, India, and the USA have high inequality and few working programs for the poor. They also have high religiosity.

Japan and Northern European countries, on the other hand, have low religiosity, and low income inequality, and no threat of war or famine. Korea is in transition, with still fairly high inequality (and also fairly high religiosity), although that's on the decline.

You can of course stamp the "uncertainty" label on everyone if you want to play semantic games, but I'm not interested in that.
Admittedly it is a bit easier to blame the independent agent in this case where he lives in a state that provides a strong safety net and healthcare. In the US, where you depend on your employer for healthcare, you could make the case that this form of free will to reject unethical projects does not exist because of the leverage your employer has over your life.

Chrome open with 100+ tabs

Bit off topic, but I don't use Chrome so I wonder: do you mean 100+ visited i.e. active tabs, or are you counting all of them, or doesn't Chrome have a distinction between those cases like e.g. Firefox does (i.e. when starting the application it doesn't actually load all tabs until you activate them - so once opened perfomance wise it doesn't matter a lot if it's 10+ or 100+ tabs)?

This is a matter of time discipline. Start your workday at 9AM. Someone sending you a Slack message at 7AM - too bad - you are in the middle of your morning routine.

At end of day, log out of your work account or shut down the work laptop, whichever case may be.

You are not using your personal user account and a work account during the day still, ARE YOU?
Here are a few that I find especially helpful:

1. iOS Shortcuts - Lets you perform repeatable actions in the tap of a button. Most of us do the same thing over and over again every day. The few seconds you save not having to re-do something everyday really adds up over time. I'll give you a personal example. I've been trying to maintain a journaling habit for a while. None of the existing tools fit my need. I now have a Shortcut that creates a journal entry in Bear (https://bear.app) every afternoon for me to fill in. This simple automation helps me maintain my journaling habit because I don't have to use another journaling tool. I already use Bear for everything. Bear doesn't have an in-built journaling feature but Shortcuts lets me use it the way I want.

2. Learn keyboard shortcuts - you probably use a bunch of different software every day. Take some time to learn and get used to using keyboard shortcuts. The instant gratification you get from being able to rapidly navigate through the UI boosts your productivity.

3. Use checklists - checklists are useful for your personal and professional life. I have a Todoist project called #checklists where I store a bunch of different checklists like: start of the month, everyday checklist etc. In my everyday checklist for example, I have tasks like "Drink 3 litres of water", "Read for 30 minutes", "Workout", "Top 3 priorities for today", etc. I set these lists to repeat monthly, every day etc. (something you can do very easily in Todoist). This helps me form habits easily. A huge part of habit forming is to have someone (or some tool, like Todoist) nudge you to get started or remember to do something.

Absolutely agree! This approach has worked for me throughout my career. There is much to gain with this approach, but to be fair, pursuing excellence involves drifting from task completion and can impact execution. Pick your passions wisely.
I’m saddened that so many morning standups have transitioned to video instead of quietly dying off.
You cannot expect a fair society that relies on selective justice. Specially with so much social stratification and marginalisation.

Justice cannot behold on popular opinion at all. There is a reason for 'her' to be a blindfolded lady.

If 'every single of you are committing infractions everyday as you exist in USA' and black represents 40% of male prison population while are just 12% of the whole population and while black youth comprise 14% of the national youth population, 43% of boys and 34% of girls in juvenile facilities are Black, we could easily conclude that this system is highly unfair.

Note: while writing this comment it got my attention that in my mother language the words for justice and fairness are the same.
If people think school is so important that it needs to open even though the virus is spreading, then we need to help them find the best way possible to do that. Throwing our hands up and saying there's no way to even consider a plan won't stop schools from opening - it just means they'll open with bad plans or no plans.
I don't buy into the job creation dogma. The government could pay thousands of people to push a boulder up a mountain... Then these boulder pushers can use their salaries to pay for food, healthcare and accommodation... Are the cooks, doctors and builders on the other side of the deal getting a good deal here? No. the boulder pushers got something for nothing and so did the guy who manages the boulder pushers. Society is worse off because the boulder pushers could have used the same skills to harvest food, for example.

GPS and the Internet were both invented by military, so I get that point... But that was a different time, there were different kinds of people in charge and people had more principles. When was the last innovation from the military which served the public interest?

The health care scare
FOMO was probably the hardest thing to overcome before quitting twitter, after fear of losing my meagre number of followers. There are a few ways to look at this. First, consider the things you are happy to have not missed out on. Can you name them? Can you articulate what you got out of seeing them when they were brand new? Would seeing them a year or more later have changed what you got out of them?

One thing which helped a lot was realizing just how slow things really move. People post very interesting technical things every day, but those are usually the products of maybe a year of intensive offline effort. You don't fall behind by skipping reading those. You do fall behind by endlessly reading those and doing nothing with your own time. Four hours sitting with a textbook in your area of interest is worth more than a month's worth of twitter posts. As a corrolary, you needn't worry about falling behind in general - because of how slow things move, you'll always be able to catch up. It takes probably two orders of magnitude less effort to understand a concept than to research & come up with it in the first place.

As you develop an area of interest and talk with other practitioners, you'll naturally hear about interesting things eventually. The rest is just brain candy you wouldn't have cared about anyway.
The tests exist in drawers of various companies but they aren't certified, at least back when those videos were released (maybe it's different now). The price depends on the scale the tests are deployed at, that's why I said "possible to design".

The a12 has about 3-4 times the number of transistors as i7-7700k. I know there are a lot of other on than the SOC core than the cpu for a12, but they still have a pretty large transistor budget. It was made with 7nm transistors vs 14nm that intel was using at the time when 7700k came out. Apple did a good job designing the chips, but TSMC is a huge part of why these chips are so good. For the longest time Intel manufacturing process was way ahead of anyone else which reflected in their performance. If I give you way more transistors I can probably make a better chip.

If I give you more cache, decoders, execution units etc. I can make a faster chip.

Also if you used all cores for sustained amount of time the intel would win out just because it can handle all that heat.

Not really a counterexample. If you have one hypertalented person that rises to the top of the otherwise moribund system, sure they can work miracles ... until they retire. Moreover, their blind spots become the company's blind spots; e.g. missing out on network features like cloud saves that Nintendo is criticized for. It's not a generally applicable model.

As someone who lives in NYC and follows these movements closely, there is always a level of animus at the institutional/political level between the UFT and the DOE. This animus does not escape the political realm, relationships between on the ground and central admin and teachers are professional and serve the interests of the children.

Infighting within the union, however, is new, and sad. Both are true-

* the plans that have been made are very far to the conservative- preservation of health and safety- end of the spectrum.

* any return involves risk of infection, and with that risk of death or permanent health damage. During the awful spring peak, more than 100 teachers and low level staff and administrators died.

Teachers sign up for extremely difficult work- dealing not only with the dynamics of their children in the classroom, but because children are sensitive lenses for their families, with the dynamics of the families as well. That emotionally difficult work is fundamentally different from work that is risky from a health perspective.

In an ideal world, all workers would continue to be paid, and those who decided to subject themselves to these new hazards would receive hazard pay for doing so, as well as additional insurance and care protections, but would not be required to and could work fully remotely. That's what would be right, but that's not what is happening, and that it's not happening is not the DOE's fault, nor the union's fault. It's the fault ultimately of the US political leadership.
I found that when I started to write about a module in LibreOffice I started to understand it much better.

For instance, I’m currently trying to understand how UNO works, I have a chapter I’m writing:

https://chris-sherlock.gitbook.io/inside-libreoffice/univers...

The other thing - very programming specific - is to understand a long confusing function I found extracting if, while and for constructs to their own functions with decent names suddenly explained what was going on far more clearly.

One could build a UNIX distribution that would feel exactly like those Xerox PARC experiences, on top of DBUs/gRPC and a couple of managed languages of choice, but it is a project doomed to failure thanks fragmentation.
