A 16th century university is primarily a religious institution and Spain had a strongly enforced state religion. Pizarro - one of the adventuring/plundering types - founded Lima in 1535, 20 years before the university and after taking out the core of the Inca empire.

To go back to your original question - I don't think this had much to do with technology but just with the different approaches the empires in question took. To Spain, a minor bet paid off spectacularly and the state fairly quickly moved to establish control (not without some trouble - just scrolling through the Wikipedia pages of Pizarro or Cortés is full of stories of Spanish leaders and officials in the New World murdering each other).

It was many decades after all of this, though, that England got around to considering, maybe, the American North Atlantic coast as a decent dumping ground for some irritating Jesus freaks.
Thanks for doing all that testing! Nice to see that answer pretty much boils down to "Use something decent-ish, mostly it doesn't matter which choice you make"... (I would have guessed nVME would have been worth spending extra on, turns out not by enough to care about, at least not in a Pi4.)
I did mention it by saying I don't believe any government should be able to access user data without oversight.

However with that being said, I'm not totally against the idea of the NSA having the power to conduct surveillance to the degree at which it does.

It's one of those things where I am not happy about it, but then again I'm not so pissed off that im going to lead the charge that somebody deserves to be thrown overboard because of it.

And I would point out that it completely ignores reality to think that it doesn't.

For better or worse in the US, a single male living with his parents at age 25 or above will generally be regarded as a "failure". You can claim otherwise, but the dating pool disagrees with you strongly.

However, I will concede that your situation (under 30 with a child but still in a place like the Bay Area) was not really what I was thinking about. That's kind of a minority for most high tech/high-COL areas which are renowned for having a highly skewed male/female ratio.

Out of all of them, this one rings the truest to me. Thank you! Other observations I've had as I get old:

The older I get the less it matters to me what other people think of me, which is liberating. When I was younger, people's impression of me was my problem. Now that I'm older, people's impression of me is their problem.

I always thought getting out-of-touch would be embarrassing, but it doesn't bother me at all. Pop culture is toxic.

I'm less interested in impressing people.

TV is marketed to a different demographic and appeals to me less and less as I age, which has freed up an enormous amount of wasted time.

I'm more and more suspicious of new products, not excited by them.

The older I get the more I value self-sufficiency and the less I believe in "we're all in it together".

Even though I try to stay tolerant, as I get older, the "woke overton window" moves faster than I can change my biases and prejudices. I can't keep up.

The thing that scares me the most about old age is that my health is going to hit a brick wall, and that I'm not taking good enough care of my body.

I'm most anxious/nervous about retirement: I think every day about retiring and exactly what I need to do and save to get there, and I wish thought about it that seriously in my 20s and 30s.
I thought ASMC really cornered the market on the EUV lithography process that is required for making 5nm chips. Wouldn't Apple be better off buying them?
My issue with those courses is that they teach you the "hows" of a problem, but not the "Whys". Completing them, you know how to perform a certain task, maybe even according to best practices, but you don't know why those practices are good, when they are bad choice, what are the alternatives. Ones the assumptions of the course break, it becomes useless. Without the deeper understanding of the field, moving to a newer technology, framework, or even gui interface might turn out to be a struggle.

Yes, such courses might be useful to fill in gaps in one's education, but it can't substitute said education. Low-quality tech graduates might profit, but humanities graduates won't become decent developers, at least not without continuous training for years which might take as long as a second degree.
Yeah the Pi 4's USB 3.0 bus isn't able to take advantage of the speeds faster drives can put out; I'm hoping the next compute module can support NVMe or SATA more directly (something Eben Upton hinted at in a podcast earlier this summer). A Pi 4 B+ or Pi 5 could even fit a slot underneath?

Alt is physically where Macs Cmd is, so I had Alt-A for Cmd-A, Alt-F for Cmd-F, Cmd-W and so forth. This made a big difference.

Also I installed EasyWindowSwitcher and assigned it to a shortcut, which gave me window-cycling like in mac.

How old is "old"? FWIW as i got "older":

Health:

when young I suffered muscle pain when I worked out. At 40 the pain changed to a skeletal pain, which wasn't nice. At 60 it started to be more tendonitis than anything else. At 70 it's gone unless I suffer an injury, whereupon weird stuff happens, e.g. hand injured a little in a fall, subsequent cat scratches cause the injury to flare up, time to get an antibiotic injection - strange!

I feel heavy, especially when I lay down to sleep at night. OTOH I'm working out more consistently than I ever have, my weight is down from 220 to 185, and so probably I'm more dense.

I'm much quicker than I ever was: I catch falling objects mid-air, stop other's falls, intercept slips and, in general, am scary quick. This weirds me out a bit. I have heard that some people are quicker than others but, other than extremely obvious cases of physically slow people, didn't believe that it was possible for one person to be significantly quicker than another. I've changed my mind about that now.

I have no known serious problems - everything is working fine, and am primarily concerned about my CV system: all else will IMO follow. I take a low dosage statin but I may not need it. More importantly, I'm realizing the simple frailty of the human body and so have re-evaluated different activities: driving (still do), cycling(won't do - crazy in my city!).
Back pain: had it since I lifted too much weight 40 years ago. Almost debilitating in the last 2 years until I found some simple exercises that made it go away. Most every man will suffer at least one serious back injury - if you do, you just have to keep searching until you find the fix that works for you.

Advice:

1. Don't ever ever pick up more weight than you've picked up before unless it is a real emergency,
2. If a sexual opportunity seems too good to be true, it probably is - don't accept it. Herpes(or worse) is no fun, no matter how the herpetic community may spin it. Note to my younger self: don't touch the beautiful blonde!

3. Always take the highest offer but be ready to walk out if things go badly.

4. Don't fall for the sunken-cost fallacy - if you're in a bad relationship of any sort then get out early and consider yourself lucky. See "The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli for more. This especially includes love.

Your concept of the law is more wrong, and this I offer as proof: Language is imprecise and limited. It is more likely that the text of the law fails to track the intent of the law than otherwise.

Throughout this I have never said I would disregard a notice that a product I had made was emitting or otherwise faulty, and indeed I believe that is the first check on most low volume products that are sold "without certification."

To behave otherwise, and allow the prior limiting of otherwise benign and nondisruptive behavior, is to give in to petty tyranny and against the founding ethos of the United States.

Strangely enough that same Supreme Court spent most of 2016 without a justice with no issue.

That does not make sense to me. Surely I could apply the same logic to any supposedly thinking thing, including humans. If I could capture all the physical processes that your brain / body confirms, I can perform all of those on paper. Thus I can perform the same thoughts as you. However, I don’t understand you in any way - I can’t tell what or how you think from intermediate states in the process.

This argument only works if you don’t believe that the physical processes are all you are and a perfect reproduction could do the same.

I have my own theory of why that capture isn’t possible, but that doesn’t matter for the Chinese room argument.

Neither Hannes nor me are very experienced with Go, so we are not the most suitable to do that. We do very much welcome external contributions, and someone did make a WIP go driver [1] in the past.

We also have a sqlite3 compatible C API that can be used to use DuckDB. This is actually how we use the sqlite3 shell: we directly use the sqlite shell but bind it to the duckdb library using this API. It might be possible to use the Go SQLite driver in a similar manner to talk to DuckDB.

Things like this are why I buy "dumb" equipment, which will remain obedient to you and not the manufacturer. My white goods are all many decades old. Washer and dryer are both entirely computer-free (mechanical controls) and don't even contain a single semiconductor (unless you count the indicator bulbs I replaced with LEDs.)

Many people often think the house/life of a software developer is filled with "smart" things, and are astounded when they hear what I use. Maybe the younger ones are indeed surrounding themselves with this sort of predatory "smartness" and couldn't care less about the downsides, but not everyone in the industry thinks that way; sadly, I think those who don't want this crap are a dying breed.

There's a version of OpenCL that compiled to Intel, but I'm not very familiar with it.

I remember reading things like: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documen...

Where you'd have to use float8 types to be assured of SIMD-benefits on CPU code. As such, its probably more useful to rely upon auto-vectorizers in C++ code (such as #pragma omp simd) and maybe intrinsics for the complicated cases.

Intel does seem to have some level of OpenCL -> AVX tech: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2011-11/Rotem_IntelOpenCLSDKVectorize...

Not that I want to get in the way of a reasonably articulated airing of the other side of this issue, which I appreciate you offering, but:

One reason is that the most conservative states in the country are still mostly polarized between rural and urban districts, with urban districts housing large majorities of people who want access to reproductive health services, but are denied that by a coalition of mostly rural conservatives to whom the welfare of urban denizens are an externality.

That is to say, the state legislatures aren't really speaking for Jackson or Birmingham or Little Rock (you can look up the demographics if you want). Even in Mississippi, the most conservative state in the county, the spread between Espy and Hyde-Smith in 2018 was just 7 points.

If (say) Kansas City could somehow secede from Kansas, leaving two states --- Rural and Urban Kansas --- I think the principled argument here would be stronger.
You can absolutely legislate morals, and a lot of laws are exactly that: codified morals.

I had mediocre dental care for most of my life. Not bad, but I never liked it. I got my first crown, was supposed to get two. It was traumatic. It didn’t feel good. I was depressed.

I found a dentist recommendation. Visited him, he looked at my teeth and said while it all met “the standard of care”, some of the old work would eventually need to be replaced, and the crown fit could be improved, and the other crown I needed could be replaced with an alternate procedure.

I got a good feeling from him. I spent the next 3 months having him re-do everything in my mouth. i was terrified and uncomfortable but I just went into it headlong. I was a bit flu$h, but it didn’t actually cost a lot.

It made all the difference in the world. My bite felt better. My teeth felt good. The tooth sensitivity to temperature vanished. I never think about My teeth anymore. They work, they are comfortable.

I think of myself as someone who is scared of dental visits. He cured me of that. I plan and attend each visit diligently.

I have a new dentist now.. I moved. I found someone I like. Understanding that my dental dissatisfaction was rooted in work that “met the standard of care” but which wasn’t satisfactory with each bite and sip I took was transformational.

I also floss diligently.

Generally you would need to write bindings for the system. Experimental DuckDB bindings for Go do exist [1], however, they are rather old and might not work anymore.
