Well, I am not disappointed with the conclusion. :)

Why can't we have network equipment that's designed from the ground up to run open source router firmwares? When my ISP gives me new networking hardware, the first thing I do is look for ways to flash new firmware on it or put it into bridge mode.

I am sort of sad to see those numbers, not because they are bad, but they are better than what I expected. And I cant help but think had Intel had this in 2018 as they were originally scheduled. Apple wouldn't have to switch over to ARM ( Yet ). These CPUs are 25W, meaning not MacBook Pro TDP range.

Even though I intensely dislike the new keyboard, not fond of the Touch Bar, at least I could get a x86 compatible MacBook. Now it is increasingly looking like the current Intel MacBook Pro may be the last.

Well, my first comment in this thread is a rant:

> I am always annoyed with articles promoting safe cycling when illustrating pictures show cyclists without helmets or any other form of protective gears.

> In Belgium there is a small movement promoting bikes and there are all kind of hipsters, bobo and 50 years old grey hair vegan on fake vintage bikes riding without helmets and without any sense of road conduct. Good bikers wearing yellow jackets and helmets are really rare ; I am beginning to think the formers are ruining the latters's image.

I find this on hacker news by time site. These discussions become inflated by politics, so are moderated.
Base65536 is not a compression algorithm but rather an encoding scheme that can convey any data compressed or not. Compression algorithms have an implicit input of the list of output symbols, which is commonly but not necessarily an octet (0 through 255). If your output format is the tweet you will eventually end up with something like Base65536 for output symbols.
That kind of thing just proves how important intuition is in framing an argument. People have a baseline and expect evidence when something goes against that baseline. But different people have completely different baselines.

The other common area for this is nuclear power (is it easy?) and climate change (is it fragile?). At the heart of those debates are deeper philosophical questions that have little to do with science. But it is always easier to throw around stats than grapple with that.
Hah. 32, aye. Riding that average!

Probably career suicidal (never admit it in your application) but honestly the thing I've found helps is just not caring about work at all. It's like the equivalent to acceptance in grief. Get the day done, look forward to the weekend, when you book time off make sure to book the following Monday.

I'll do the job as best I can for as long as I'm paid but if you think I'm here for any reason other than money to pay the bills you're completely delusional.

Out of all the terrible trends in technology today, I’m convinced that “unnecessary cloud-tethering” is the absolute worst.

Yes. If not only because "cloud" services typically live for only a few years. Then the device is useless.
See reply to other comment. The reason to eat fruit is to get easy access to sugar, which we need especially due to our brains. Like how some birds require nectar to be able to power their flight.

> Then he proceeds to talk about "disinfectant, which knocks it out in a minute". Crucially, at no point has Trump ever suggested anything like "injecting bleach", yet thanks to CNN and gullible people like you half the country believes he did.

Really? His direct quote is:

"I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."

He literally asked about injecting disinfectant into the body, referencing and immediately following a briefing that talks about using household disinfectants like bleach and isopropyl alcohol against SARS-Cov-2. You're either being purposefully disingenuous, or completely failing at listening comprehension. Either way, you're clearly not changing your mind here. But maybe I can inform other people that may end up reading your nonsense.

Rúgbrauð (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈruːɣprœiθ]) is an Icelandic straight rye bread. It is traditionally baked in a pot or steamed in special wooden casks by burying it in the ground near a hot spring, in which case it is known as hverabrauð or "hot-spring-bread".

I always struggle with DFW. I too enjoy his interviews, some of his writing - he always feels like he’s figured something out. The part where I struggle is when looking at him holistically, especially his suicide. How could he have figured it out and still commit suicide? To use Camus’s framing, “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide”.

The difficulty of understanding someone taking their own life is made greater when that person was a role model. Their descent into the abyss was a personal journey, but the torch they’d been carrying was a communal flame. I find myself doubting what they said, worrying their flame leads me down the same path they traveled without deviation.

Hey thanks for this response. It's broadly consistent with my understanding, though obviously better articulated, and you did have some points I hadn't heard before.

Last year's HotChips (or maybe even the year before) had a talk from a group that was working on a new design which is arguably VLIW (or has some elements of VLIW) and recently-ish they've been back in the news for having actual silicon in test. It's my hope that they are successful in their efforts, at least in some technical way.

Lastly somewhere in the back of my head is the vague idea that Apple doesn't actually use ARM cores either but instead uses a continuation the technology they bought with PA Semi only with an "ARM front end". I've long forgotten where I heard that from though.
box86 runs x86 binaries in an emulator that translates syscalls and library calls to native syscalls and library calls. The JIT compiler they're using and the syscalls tables are specifically for 32 bit x86, and because they're simply passing calls through the host system must match both endianness and word size, so running a 32 bit x86 executable requires a 32 bit little endian host.

ARMv8 can run in either 32 bit "aarch32" or 64 bit "aarch64" modes, and both require separate runtimes, as does 32/64 bit x86. So you need 32 bit ARM libraries for box86's translation to work.

It could be updated to support 64 bit executables, but that would be an amd64/x86_64 -> aarch64 translation layer. Doing 32 -> 64 bit or vice versa is much, much harder, and requires manual translation of calls for specific libraries and kernels to be done, as nested binary data is passed in some library/syscalls that needs to be converted.

> then if it's consensual it's fine

So, you're saying that consent is always fully informed, freely given and involves deep awareness of every aspect or possible consequence of even strange and unusual sexual practices such as BDSM? Because this is what it would take for consent to be truly ethical. I don't believe this is what always happens. And yes, I do worry the BDSM community, by and large, is significantly understating the risk that, e.g. some self-defined "doms" and "tops" might engage in behavior that is in fact grossly unethical by any sensible standard. And other parts of the LGBTQ+ community can be similarly problematic. Let's face it, rape culture has existed for thousands of years and it can still be a huge problem today.

And, as a generalization, slapping /feed/ onto the back of a blog’s URL seems to be effective in many places. I just try it by default now if I don’t see an RSS button.

Very cool idea but it just does not seem to work just yet. My blog got 26 which I think looks quite nice (http://granitosaurus.rocks) but some random color rainbow websites score double that (like already pointed out: http://dokimos.org/ajff)

> Sweden seems to agree with you and against general use of masks, although my trust in their approach is limited by their pretty terrible results: death rate of nearly 600/M against HK's 12/M.

No matter how often I say "I'm not against masks", people still read it is "this guy is against masks", merely because I question the quality of the scientific evidence. No sane discussion on this topic is possible anymore, it's all "which side are you on, boy?", which is disheartening.

> That's not saying it doesn't or can't happen but while you emphasise a lack of evidence to convince you that masks are worthwhile at scale, there is even less evidence that wearing a mask will cause any other type of hurt that would cancel-out the benefits.

I literally said I don't need more evidence in favor of masks. It's not about masks, it's about Vitamin D in light of our treatment of masks. I don't need more evidence in favor of Vitamin-D supplementation, either. Go for it, just be honest about it.

> Right now I'm burnt out beyond words, having delivered a phase of a huge project, followed by upper management actions that make me feel extremely devalued and dehumanized

I quit over something like this. Best decision of my life. I was the lowest paid engineer, I won/led/only person that worked on a major contract (20% of revenue) and they said I was bold for asking for a promotion that would put me equal pay with people that brought in no contracts. Don't work for toxic management. It just isn't worth it. It takes a huge toll on your mental health and honestly no money is worth that. I was burnt out for over a year after that experience. I learned that when applying for positions you should also be interviewing your manager. That's become one of my top criteria.

However disk persistency is done with nats-streaminh and i had big issues with it's Raft file based store, where it would stop accepting messages after a short network issue, and not get unstuck unless I destroy the whole nats-streaming data storage amd start from scratch.

Also raft means 3x disk usage for one queue, since its fully replicated

Whiteboard. Really, OO was meant to mimic whiteboard drawing and being able to convey meaning to stakeholders in a playful and communicative manner. So messaging and what objects do is central. Objects themselves are black boxes left to actual implementation. Design patterns breaks OO heritage.

This is opposed to datamodelling, which is the better approach to actually implementing complex stateful systems.

I live with my girlfriend here, and my router lists 14 devices connected to it, from phone and laptops to TV and Google home to one monstrosity of an IR blaster due to lack of "smartness" of the A/C. Some stuff are even programmed with IFTTT, some with NFC tags tapped by either of our phones, and many devices listen to magic packets on LAN.

I enjoy the convenience of being able to control pretty much everything from bed, with just voice, but I can't get rid of the dystopian feeling that I'm just a "user" of it, but not in control of it.
Isn't there a workaround to get Chromecast to accept user changes in DNS settings. Maybe use DHCP on the user's router to suggest user-chosen DNS servers. I have forgotten. The big show stopper with Chromecast is that Google makes it difficult for the user to set their own DNS servers. As I recall, with the early Chromecast models, users could replace the Google OS with a modified one that let users choose their own DNS servers. One technique used a Teensy. Subsequent Google updates I believe closed off that option.
The Remarkable and the Supernote seem to fill that role.

I started obsessively looking at them earlier this week, and my conclusion is that they're not ready for prime time yet. The Remarkable software team is facing heavy criticism. The Supernote team is lauded for their responsiveness, but they don't have warehouses in Europe. Both companies accept preorders, not actual orders.

The ideas and hardware are there, but the products still need a lot of refinement.

I worked with a few contractors who had what I thought was a great solution.

They would work IT contracting 8-9 months a year and during the other months, would do another job. One case, the chap was a waters-king instructor and did that in the summer as he loved it. Another was a Ski instructor and in both cases, they enjoyed their side-gigs more.

For me, I thought that was brilliant, an ideal balance and best of both worlds kinda approach to the problem.

[EDIT funny spelling mistake - Ski instructor - not skin :-]
Have you tried Modafinil? The 2h/4h workdays sound like what I experienced for quite a while a few years ago. Modafinil/Armodafinil changed that drastically. Focus is back, concentration is back, energy is back, and 2h is now essentially unheard of, with an average of 5 or 6 productive hours, and if I need to, I can easily do 8 or 10. It's like being 20 again.

It's a miracle drug for me. Strong effect, no tolerance buildup, few side effects. And it's dirt cheap, even on the black market.
You'll have it. Just give it time and think deeply about the hard topics. Knowledge of functional concepts help a lot.
I think the reality is that researchers justify themselves to grant writing organizations in whatever way they can but are often just doing science for it's own sake.

Anecdotally, I watched a talk about how the structure of the ribosome was solved, and the researcher mentioned that they justified themselves to grant writing organizations by saying it would help develop antibiotics - which did turn out to be the case, but they described themselves as feeling amused rather than vindicated.

I believe it was this talk.

I don't think it's only a matter of speed.

Of course it's only anecdotal evidence, but when I was studying at university I could register pretty much everything by hand (thanks to using a fountain pen. Those who wish to write fast for any reason should consider a fountain pen - with a medium or broad, relatively stiff nib) and still I find manual note taking much more effective than typing.

You still are doing lots of mental computations when you write by hand, even if you don't need to summarize.
