It's a bit like the way that plaintext HTTP is way easier to deal with than HTTPS, and the way browsers treat a self-signed cert as worse than no cert. Which... does lead to some odd outcomes, yes.
Indeed, among the 18 pins in a PCI-E x1 slot, only four wires forms the actual data link, two for RX and another two for TX [0]. In terms of space, A PCI-E connection is really a piece of cake.

And interestingly, to make a designer's life easier, PCI-E does have a reference clock signal, but it doesn't directly control the data transfer, it's only here for establishing a stable frequency reference, so a card doesn't have to include its own clock (which is a possible option). Since PCI-E Gen 2, its use is entirely optional because data recovery was possible, see [1].

There are alternatives with built in recovery records? Which ones? I am being serious.
To spare fellow non-Americans the jump to Google:

2500 sqft = 232 sqm

1000 sqft = 92 sqm

I am living in the latter with my wife plus one small child, and it's clear to us that we want more space for children later. 2500 sqft seems pretty large, but not crazy large either, especially with ~3 kids (=just two generations).
I think you are misunderstanding the the post 9/11 concept. While the event itself was small in the grand scheme, I think the reaction is more impactful than you give it credit for. It caused a meaningful shift in the geopolitical strategy of the world's largest economy and military power.

The 9/11 world is very obvious in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria.

From where I sit in Seattle, I'm watching the trees around our home disappear in favor of five-over-one cubes. I've chosen to live here, in part, because it doesn't feel like a city. When the trees disappear, we are likely to contribute to that sprawl.
Putting up a basic barrier to entry to people with low net-worth people causes some people to say "if the market is sky-rocketing, why can't I get in on that".. but the problem is whether or not you can "afford" to lose the money.. like if you have 50k to your name that you saved up over 20 years, then you blow it all in one bad investment, then you see people doing rash things like trying to take out their revenge on people or other super destructive behaviors. If your annual income is high, then losing 50% of your annual income might hurt, but you can earn it back in a reasonable amount of time.. losing say 10 years of annual income would hurt basically anybody..

So it makes more sense to have various lower risk investment vehicles that are attached to those markets -- like if real estate is booming in your part of the world, then it should be possible to create some kind of investment group where 100 people put together their money and buy various properties.

Allowing people who don't know much about options to buy them in a leveraged position is incredibly risky for tons of reasons. Many people's understanding of options is basically like if the stock goes up, then the call option that is above the current stock price goes up -- the option price could easily could go down if the expectation was that it would go up even more than it did, or the price volatility decreases! Not easy to explain all of the horrible ways you can easily lose money in the markets... I've sometimes thought, maybe I should just do the opposite of everything I've thought I wanted to do.. maybe that'd be better than what I'm doing..
> but if you are in the business of making an app

that's your mistake, right there.
Absolutely, but I still prefer the interfaces that come out of doing proper TDD. I minimize the use of mocks and try to pull in as much of the infrastructure as possible. I'm pragmatic though. I'll use fakeredis in tests instead of actual redis so the tests can run concurrently without quirks.

It's hard to communicate as a developer at times. We're all learning different things at different times and taking things to an extreme can cause bad outcomes for the rest of the team. One of the reasons I try to be accurate during online discussions. "I do TDD 85% of the time" is a better thing to add to the conversation than "I do TDD" since it gives people the idea of nuance in software development methods.
Thanks for the feedback!
I definitely have a bias toward larger screens, serves me right for not testing it on many devices!
That's all really helpful, cheers. I plan to keep developing it, so I will quite likely try to address a lot of those points.
VC can also be interested in a company as a quick flip opportunity when the pitch never mentions that possibility. Particularly early stage investors who buy in low enough to still win if the eventual exit is considerably below a meanwhile heavily inflated nominal valuation.
I'm not sure I follow. What do you mean by "bakes private implementation into the specification"?

In Rust, these tests live inside of the module where the functionality is defined. Nothing "leaks". You write your private function, then right next to it, you write some tests for it. Nobody ever has to know about the private code (unless your tests fail).

> Can't reuse tests across different implementations.

Huh? It's a private function. You aren't going to have multiple implementations...
Indeed, a two-way bikeway takes up the same space that car drivers consider to be one lane, so you can take a two-lane road and convert it to a bikeway with spacious sidewalks. As a bonus, such a road will have throughput that car drivers cannot even dream of.

In a similar vein, this video titled, "OxyContin patients, then and now" [0] is worth a watch.

The music suggests the drug is horrible, but of the five patient cases: two are doing well on the drug and require it to function normally, one did well but died of a (not determined to be related) heart attack, one got off the drug with some difficulty, and one died after falling asleep while driving.

Opioids are a miracle drug for people living with chronic pain. More people die every year from alcohol - which has absolutely zero therapeutic benefit.

I don't think it will. Android and the Play Store have shown that even with the ability to install arbitrary apps and stores very few apps that would have been available on the Play Store have migrated to only be available on other stores.

So the tradeoff is a fairly large number of previously disallowed apps are now available, if you want. And a small number of previously allowed apps are only available outside of Apple's store.

Of course if this is worth it to you depends on how much you value either side of the equation but at least in the Android case it is a clear win to me.

Maybe. I live in Denver, CO. Arguably, I have 1 2/9 electoral college votes. The population is about 600,000.\

Wyoming has 3 electoral college votes and has a total population of 567,000. So about equal populations.

Why does a Wyoming vote count for more than 2x mine in the Electoral college?

Would you really want the election to be decided by a lot less than half the votes?

Every other election is direct. I don't have an "electoral college" analog for my gubernatorial vote, city council vote, mayoral vote. Should all those have some intermediary to keep power in the hands of some minority, too? Clearly disenfranchising better than half the population is not the way to go.

Note that there are solutions other than "bulk population migrations" even for the rusted hulk of the Electoral College. Have enough Representatives, and the popular vote/electoral college vote can even out. It's the artificially low number of Representatives that's at least part of the problem. The German Bundestag has 709 members now. We can have a bigger House. The number of House seats is statutory, not constitutional.

Regional jet technology has been ahead of the planes you've likely been flying on for 20 years. The E195 is smaller than the B737 but feels like riding in a B767, it is like Buck Roger's spaceship but Airbus and Boeing kept it at bay; Canada developed a B787-level technology competitor for it, and Airbus bought it after Boeing and Airbus colluded to keep it off the market. The E195-2 is almost as nice as the A220. If they can just shut down the 737 line and change the labor laws in the US that discourage E195-sized planes, life could be much better for fliers.

The Concorde demonstrated the failure of the Mach 2 class airliner, not just because of "high fuel consumption" but because it could not do multiple trips across the Atlantic in a day thanks to takeoff and landing restrictions. Originally people thought the SST would crush all other airliners economically because they could fly twice as many flights in the same time ("half the capital cost") but that was not realized. (People in London and NYC have to sleep once in a while)

The Mach 3 class typified by military projects such as the SR-71 and XB-70 might be successful at both problems.

Believe it or not supersonic cruise at Mach 3 is about the optimum fuel economy for supersonic flight and it might be fast enough to do more flights and lower the capital cost.

One gap between the Mach 2 and the Mach 3 classes is that at Mach 3 you have to give up on aluminum as a structural material and switch to Iron, Titanium, or something else. The SR-71 squared some of the design circles by taking off with a minimum fuel load and refueling mid-air -- airliners would have worse problems in terms of wing design.

There is no commercial airliner in the Mach 1 class, the economics are certainly worse than Concorde. The Mach 1 business jet might just work if somebody values the time over the economics.
The FUD is real. When I bought a model 3, it was trying to decide whether I wanted to spend half as much on a commuter-only, or pony up for the Tesla and have a "nice" car I could also take a roadtrip in.

For the "same price as Tesla" EV competitors, you get an admittedly slightly nicer car, with the massive downside of charging infra. And it's just too much money for me to spend to not be able to be confident on a roadtrip.

A bundle transparently "expands" into the url'ed resources in it. URLs are not going anywhere.

I'm one of the sometimes shrill voices when the url is getting de-emphasized but I really don't feel like webbundles are part of that threat.

What is different is that a server no longer has to be online serving content for folks to be able to get content. 3rd parties being able to serve content is a very different world indeed, & I have reservations about folks no longer having to run their own big world facing services & becoming reliant upon 3rd party serving. But those concerns are far outweighed by how excellent it will be being able to share web content with friends while offline together, being able to easily transfer webapps among users, &c.

Advertising existed before detailed tracking, and can exist perfectly well without it.

Perhaps it will be a little less effective, but we do not need to optimise our society to increasing the effectiveness of advertising.
> It would be incredibly sad to see them go out of business, it's such an iconic piece of software.

Granted, it's also famous for (supposedly) nobody ever paying for it, which doesn't exactly lend itself to staying in business.
Can’t they still have really large lots ?
>> 97% of individual income earners

> Upper-income households (double the national median) account for 20% (side note: yeah, we have a yawning wealth gap). Those household incomes are $207,400 in 2018. So I'm not going accept your 3% number.

You are comparing two different things, so your objection is invalid.

Also, as noted elsewhere, part of this change was to expand what incomes in the household count towards the accredited investor threshold. Some number of those households didn't qualify because some portion of their household income didn't.

No, I am genuinely interested on the opposing take, but as far as I remember he was just babbling some ridiculous thing over and over. It didn't make any intellectual sense, whether you're right-wing/left-wing, populist/liberal.
Slowness is not an excuse if you're going in the wrong direction. SMS "2FA" is a crutch that has allowed the banks to limp along with their antiquated security model still based around the concept of trusting people who physically show up at a branch. Banks should have never implemented SMS "2FA". If a system cannot provide a security guarantee, you don't implement it anyway and then pretend that it does.
Street level charging is very possible (and growing quickly in Europe). Any street with lamps or parking meters already has easy opportunities for chargers to be added.
As someone who routinely asks myself how the fuck random useful utility apps and websites will pay for their costs. Good! More damn stuff needs to cost money so we have a damn choice.

I’m sick of being the product when I have the damn money to buy services and products but everyone from startups to solo devs seem hell bent on pursuing advertising driven revenue models. If this drives some more developers to build more sustainable products and services then as far as I’m concerned Apple did a good thing.

I’m not going to comment on the validity of Apple’s 30% cut because I don’t think they deserve 30% however that doesn’t change the fact that I think this is a good thing.
What does this have to do with PCs? Your question was about PCs

Are you saying a grandma starts a PC and immediately knows about SourceForge?

So which search engine do you suggest? What if there were a secondary App Store on phones? Selling a “free” version of some popular app?

Why would the same issue of slimy developers who game the system on PCs not do the same on phones?

On the other hand, isn’t that exactly what users are doing? They are purposefully avoiding a Google product - Android - with all of its “openness” to buy an iPhone. Tell me again why we need the government involved?
It's the same for me, Julia is perfect for scientific programming - it has basically replaced Python, it's even starting to be used at my work. I don't think Ocaml has its place in this domain.
This is a rampant problem in the enterprise world, and it drives me nuts. I regularly have to work for clients who mandate using Sonar Qube (or/and other SAST tools) with strict policies, and also require 85%-100% test coverage on all projects regardless of how much sense it makes.

Predictably, teams have to spend way too much energy getting "waivers" approved by some ridiculous group, and inevitably end up creating tests that don't actually test anything, just to get the coverage figures up.
That may have just been the rationalization for an ulterior motive.
It's the last sentence, which one could be excused for not enduring the rest of the article before reaching:

> , a precise definition of ‘CSS X’ isn’t even needed. Every three years of so, some people should pick a couple of interesting new modules that were added in that period and start writing about them, under the heading ‘CSS 4’, then ‘CSS 5’, etc. ‘CSS X’ is defined as those two or so modules, plus whatever was in the previous version and a loosely defined set of other modules.

I said "conceptual" because it's just some person's opinion about versioning, and the article does say the CSS working group doesn't really care for versioning at all. Either way, my opinion was that the article is about 95% too long, I'm making no other claims.

Phenomenal product that solves some serious pain with the communications process around releases. Great team building another great product. Congrats LaunchNotes team!
We generally wouldn't allow that either. We've ran into cases where emergency fixes cause even more damage (e.g., the system is up, but now it's processing payments wrong), so you have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the test failures are irrelevant or less bad than the current incident.

Often times it's less effort/more expedient to make the change pass tests (or update the tests) than convince all of the stakeholders that what you're about to do is safe, but the break-glass is there if needed.

Maybe you'd call this a militant test ideology, but I think it's perfectly reasonable. Systems are complex, and people can get tunnel vision during a bad outage.
It’s 4 vehicles. That’s basically an R&D program, not a procurement.

Your argument seems to hinge on the idea that meta art or performance art, are not themselves art. This is quite a strange argument. Perhaps you should read about conceptual art, like Duchamps fountain, which is certainly art. Or if you really want to get upset read about Cattelan’s latest piece involving a banana and a piece of duct tape.
>All they are doing here is to hurt advertising so that more apps move to other models which lets Apple extract more value.

Sounds like a great business incentive to be pro-privacy to me. You can count on profit motive.
Additionally, this literally pushes more data into the hands of FB. Our FB advertising rep is already asking us to share more data with them to mitigate the impact of this change.

People have become accustomed to ad measurement. Performance marketing is a thing for a reason. How will ad performance be measured now? FB is already rolling out a tool to do that, but only if you share more data with them (lifetime value estimates, etc).
A modern regional turboprop could really kill it ten years from now. If emissions really start making a difference to the ticket costs. Sweden and Finland are already introducing such measures.

There's a lot of room for more efficiency. With carbon wing spars you can have whatever aspect ratio is practical for operations with not much weight penalty. In the last decades, the wind power industry has pushed forward methods for large composite structures mass produced cheaply.

Boom can always pivot. From Concorde came Airbus as well.
Probably the issue then is that the US government trusts US companies more than Chinese companies, when they shouldn't. I agree with the parent company that if China wanted this data they could probably get it very easily and they most likely probably have it.

The frustration is that for years, privacy advocates have been trying to find the right set of words to make people understand that it is bad for US companies have so much data on so many Americans. The argument is always dismissed as not being an important issue, or that it's good for rooting out terrorists or pedophiles. But privacy advocates have also been saying this whole time, "what if this data falls into the wrong hands" on deaf ears.

In an ideal world we would ban TikTok but also regulate how user data is obtained, stored, and used by US companies.
And good find on the block but not camera rotation working when paused! Interestingly it'll be because the way it's paused is setting the game's simulation speed to 0, but the camera rotation is based on simulation speed so that it's independent of framerate (unlike block rotation which is instant)
Humble Bundle has an android app that lets you download APKs, and then prompts you to install them. I've used that to install several android games in the past, even for things that are available in different versions on the Play store. It's never showed me pop-up ads, and it's only for installing things that I've already bought via their website.

It's not a large store, I expect, and I don't often use it install things, but it seems to be an unambiguous example of something that benefits users. I bought things via Humble, and then am able to install them on any android device I ever have (in theory).

If they were to add the ability to actually buy things in the app, it would effectively turn into something with an interface like the Kindle app (which shows me both my library of books, as well as a shopping interface).
Perhaps it doesn't, but that's the point. Education should prepare you to engage with society gainfully. If one makes it through 20 years of rigorous school but at no point acquired the necessary cognitive skills to discern scams from legitimate opportunities, then the education itself is the scam.

Interesting list. After all, there is also the opposite case, where it is difficult to understand why a certain prize was awarded.

How do you close down a Stripe Atlas LLC? Stripe has since opened up in my country and I don’t see the need for the added complexity and expense any more.
Anyone pirating content was never going to pay for it in the first place, so you haven't really lost anything. If anything, having your shit pirated gives you more exposure, so I'd say it's a net positive overall.
> The zero-length optimization probably doesn't exist for arrays in this context

This is no distinction for arrays for non-array. E.g. [0]int is a valid type, and it's size is zero. It is treated exactly the same as all other zero-sized types. This is not a special optimization: there are may cases of zero-sized types.

The slice itself is a value type. So foo := []int{} would occupy 24-bytes (data pointer, len, cap) and not necessarily escape to the heap, exactly the same as var foo []string.
Don’t be silly this doesn’t take away advertising-supported apps whatsoever. They’re just taking away the ability to target users based on activity outside of the app, perhaps reducing the effectiveness of the targeting.

Plenty of industries survived for centuries without these kinds of ads.
In my opinion, 2500sqft/232sqm is more than enough for a family of 6.
> OP specifically called out AGI as not requiring touch or taste, only text to beat the turing test.

But a text-based AGI is not replacing plumbers and electricians, which means it's only general in limited areas, like generating human-level text. It would be impressive and not doubt have plenty of uses, but it's not a threat to paper clip the world or put everyone out of a job.
