> You have said multiple times that it is "not about the law" and you haven't offered an alternative explanation.

In addition to what the parent says about PR, there are some actual good reasons:

1. Some companies are starting to understand and believe that having a diverse team is a competitive advantage when it comes to designing and marketing products intended for a diverse audience.

2. Some companies are starting to believe that it's just the right thing to do to try to increase diversity in their ranks, to attempt to combat systemic sexism and racism that historically has kept certain groups on the sidelines for some roles.

Whether you agree with these things or not, companies are increasingly believing in them, and that's at least a part of why they go far beyond what the law requires when it comes to anti-discrimination. I find it unlikely that a company would lose a court case for not pushing to hire more diverse candidates, or not having implicit-bias training, or not removing terms like master/slave or whitelist/blacklist from their internal lexicon. It does not seem like companies are doing this because they are afraid of running afoul of the law.

I've not really used it since it used to run out of memory every few hours, did try it again after they rewrote everything but it was really buggy with half the sites I frequent not working.
Numba failing to work in case 2 is extremely bizarre. Can you post that code or a similar example?

Not only should it work for case 2 - it should only require a one liner decorator add and no user specified static typing.

I’ve used numba in production for around 6 years now, and never encountered the problems you describe.
Cython is surprisingly nice (though techincally it generates C extensions). I was scared away from it, thinking it'd be yet another thing to learn and I could just use C if I really wanted to. But no, it's actually much easier to use than C for python interop. The only painful part for me was making sure that my extension code was recompiled and reloaded when I changed something, which I think stemmed to my lack of understanding of the python module building system.
I don't question Zinn's position is very much to the left, but, I've often heard people say universal healthcare is "socialism" and that makes the person sound like they are so far into the right, well past nazism, to confuse human rights with socialism.

I think the big shift is that back then everything wasn't recorded. This made it so that limitations on speech were dependent on where you spoke and with whom. Nowadays everything can be recorded and outrage spreads faster too.

Of course, that's exactly how I personally would expect the things to be done? You obviously have to propagate changes through all the operations further down the line.

Pretty sure the GP meant only once for the encoding of each resolution. He was just pointing out the asymmetry of the work, YT only encodes once per distinct resolution it shows, each of these encodings can be decoded by clients millions of times if the video is popular enough to bring in that many clients.
Webpacker docs (or even in general) is a bit painful I agree. I don't think Rails had a lot of options there, chasing the constantly involving js world was hard (Sprockets is very limited in what it can do).
I think the docs and best practices will improve but yeah I feel your pain.
Maybe I need to try tinning the tip again.
I agree. Admin can be complicated but the breadth of authentication is surprising when you start enumerating the features. "I forgot my password" and "remember me" are the easiest ones and yet they're not a hour's job. Authentication is not where a company should invest its money. Use a well proven library and keep solving problems that bring home money.
Sure. And those are great for temporary grid management.

If you scale that up by several orders of magnitude, you may just provide enough to power a small city for a few hours.

This would be great but it won't happen without monetary or regulatory intervention. The industry is hell bent on driving the cost of software to zero. Security, performance and accessibility are always the last to see any investment. The baseline seems to be as long as your website doesn't piss people off completely then it's enough.

According to the Arch Wiki [0] that can be done by using an `.efi` file but it is not necessarily the case. The UEFI can directly load the linux kernel and add parameters.

However, it's not particularly practical.

Of course, as with all things UEFI, YMMV. This worked for me on an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 before I got around to setting up the keys for secure boot.

Yeah same here, sandwiches are not bad (better than supermarket equivalents, but should be for the price premiuum), but not a fan at all of their coffee at all. Kind of tastes watery and burnt at the same time.
I don't know: as a reasonably well paid software developer I still find the amount people are prepared to pay for lunch surprising. As the article mentions, once you buy coffee+sandwich+pastry+fruit you can easily be over £10, which is something like the price of a new Macbook every year?
Just a heads up, there's been a fair number of bugs and issues around sleep mode. Most of the problem seems to be in software and the situation has improved, but you might want to look into the exact state of things.

I'm working on an ESP32-based product that doesn't use sleep mode, but I've noticed people reporting issues about sleep mode on GitHub and in forums.
This was quite eye opening. Never thought they go to such great lengths to optimise their virtual (and physical) machines
I used rgb but would like to try RGBW in the future because to get bright white on the current strip it consumes about 60 mA (@5v) per led. That's 20 mA for R, G, and B.

I have two rows of 32 lights, so a beefy supply was needed along with a few places where VIN was fed to the strip.
So it's basically uncrackable. Understood.
I think just the fact that companies are increasingly hiring executives that head diversity/inclusion departments (mine does as well) shows that they're aiming for a lot more than just compliance with anti-discrimination laws.

> As an iOS developer who worked with apps that access camera frequently, I can confidently say that it's just a UX optimization.

Here's what Facebook does once you give access to the iOS Photos app. Every time you open the Facebook app, it asks you - "Would you like to post these photos on Facebook?". Basically, they are reading the Photos library repeatedly to scan for recent (or past) photos along with their meta data. It could be just UX optimisation. It could also be UX optimisation for harvesting data.
There are two types of innovation. Corporate innovation and voluntary innovation. Both types of innovation are important but corporate innovation can only exist if there is some sort of intellectual property system. The IP system doesn't create innovation on its own, the potential for innovation has to already exist and the IP system is merely enabling it. Therefore when you are introducing an IP system you are making a trade off between the two types.

If you have no IP system then you are too dependent on people innovating for the sake of innovation because they enjoy it. If you have an extreme IP system then you are too dependent on corporations innovating for the sake of profit maximization. Both extremes limit overall innovation. There is a sweet spot in the middle where you both maximize corporate and voluntary innovation. The current copyright system is the closest to that sweet spot but it's leaning closer to corporate than voluntary because of its long duration. The current IP protection is good for both corporations and the open source/FOSS community. There is an opportunity to commercialize opensource software and make it easier to sponsor the developers but if the current system was kept until the end of humanity we wouldn't miss out on too much innovation.

But this article isn't about keeping what we have. Software is about to receive an additional IP system. One that is completely inaccessible to voluntary innovation. We are bound to leave the sweet spot at this rate and prioritize corporate innovation above everything else, even if it means there will be less innovation overall.

Stanisław Leśniewski: rethinking the philosophy of mathematics
One of us would have had to write this code, a PM would have had to authorize and break it down, a UX designer might have had to design its internal dashboard for "how to perv on users most efficiently" including flows and user stories, and then that code would have had to be pushed to the Instagram git repo which surely has some ~hundred devs on it that saw it go in, or may notice it at some time in the future.

Now I know it takes a healthy dose of cognitive dissonance to work for facebook in this day and age but the main reason this doesn't seem likely to me is that that's way too many people involved in something beyond shady (even for Facebook) for this to not get out. There's even a [formula](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...) to calculate how likely it is for a conspiracy to remain a secret depending on the number of people involved.

Apparently 3.3v doesn't always work with the strips, and newer ones are less likely to work, especially if you're working with a lot of lights.
I do not think "the industry" is run by clowns. There is just a toxic subset of the community that writes a lot of bad software and refuses to accept that that could have been avoided by performing some actual study. That's not a high horse, it's just having an interest in what you do and doing the best that you possibly can.
> Then look at the trend lines in the cost of storage, particularly utility scale lithium batteries. You don't have to be a genius to realize this makes new nuclear a bad bet purely on the finances.

You are off by more than one order of magnitude! For non-hydro renewable to be self sufficient, you need between 200h and 600h of storage[1]. So to replace a 1300MW reactor, you need 3000MW of renewable power (assuming 33% load factor, which is a good one for renewable) AND at least 200GWh of storage! The storage cost just dwarfs the cost of everything else (and because it won't last 40 years, you'd need to pay for it at least twice!).

Solar and wind power are financially interesting because: the grid handles the load variations, subsidies, and the financial markets financing short-term projects easily compared to bigger one expected to run for 60 years.

Non-hydro renewable are nice when you want to reduce fossil fuel consumption in a grid where most electricity comes from fossil fuel (and ideally not too much coal), but on a purely technical standpoint, they are no match for nuclear. The thing are never purely technical though, and overall I'm sceptical about the future of nuclear.

A good place to start would be reference schematics from Espressif for their dev boards, and schematics from open ESP32-based boards from other vendors. Check out esp32.com for a list of boards.

With those schematics and KiCAD, you should be pretty much set. Take an hour or so watching KiCAD tutorials, it'll be worth it.

Also, spring for an ESP32-WROVER-KIT and use it to prototype with a dev board. That kit also supports JTAG debugging, which can be quite handy.

most of anything is 'uninspired garbage'. not sure what it's to do whether a particular phd should be awarded.

no-one is proposing that numpy isn't useful or people developing / maintaining tools aren't doing gods work. they have my endless gratitude and try to donate regularly.

however, phd training in my field -- natural/life sciences -- has a specific remit: you learn how to build and test a hypothesis, from start to end. optimising libraries is emphatically not it. as a scientist you should care whether you have a useful model that explains something about the world. this is orthogonal to how neatly you have implemented your linear algebra in python.
Best Affiliate Programs of 2020 Earnings for Newbies

When choosing an affiliate program, check commissions, average order values (AOV), average earnings per click (EPC), and cookie duration.

See if there is a periodicity of payments or only a one-time payment. Finally , choose a niche that suits your interests.

The affiliate market is growing rapidly and the opportunities are enormous.

Remember that the first step in this area is to create your WordPress affiliate website or blog.
> Don't build websites on top of a million libraries which you don't need and put it in some container and host it in the cloud while using as much of the cloud service providers tools.

> Build as much as possible from scratch and host it close to metal as possible.

Citation needed. Running your site in a container on a shared host will be significantly more energy efficient then running hardware. It's silly to claim otherwise.

And the idea that the quantity of js libraries before compile affects energy consumption is a stretch as well.

The issue is how many computations you do at runtime. That is completely unrelated to third party libraries.

I'm not particularly concerned about a prisoner dillemma trap.

If one country did that, the immediate response from all other countries could simply be 'stop all trade with that country' or simply 'crank up the import taxes from them' until they shape up.

You also don't need anywhere near 100% agreement for this to be effective. A large company losing just a few key markets (US, Germany, UK, blah) could massively outweigh any benefit they could imagine by trying to game such a system.
And the ones that don't forget eventually get discouraged by having to go through people like him.
Saving yourself time and money is often more energy efficient.

Here is a small example:

For my blog site, I use Netlify to host - which auto deploys on a git push. My builds running on Netlify were averaging around 3 mins (every time I pushed whether it updated content or not).

I noticed the problem when I almost ran out of build time. So I changed it to build locally and now commit the build output inside my git repo. Netlify deploys in around 5 secs now since it is all pre-built static files - I’ll never run out of build time now.

My machine already has all the dependencies and cached build output, so it can build in about 20 secs.

In addition, I can handle build errors immediately rather than finding a failed deployment.
"have you got any..." -duude! just open facebook messenger and inspect any element there, then comeback and tell me if you can't see the gazzilion DIV's there.

Or are you referring to table vs. div from performance point of view? For that you can do your own testing. Create a DB, put in there 100k rows and then view them via a framework that uses the gazzilions I mentioned vs a table with 100k TR's. See for yourself which one loads faster. And to get out the loading times from DB, do it once then save it as HTML offline page for both tests and then use those pure HTML to load from local file. See that TABLE is faster.
It's like anything else: convenience, quickness, consistency, perception of cleanliness, habits of others around you, and so on.

If it's a group decision - and often enough it is - a place like Pret becomes the acceptable least common denominator. No one might love it, but more importantly no one probably hates it.
The thing is there's some tools and technologies that humanity deserves to offer itself (a.k.a to develop a high quality OSS offering). Don't get scared by this statement, just bare with me for a second and assume it to be true. Humanity has offered itself OSS/copyfree/patent free technological gifts like an OS kernel, an SCM tool, an electronic CAD software, ML/data science packages, the wheel, etc. I posit that we need to produce long lasting artifacts that anyone, anywhere, can use and reproduce, especially if those artifacts are core to reaching our current technological level. This way, 50, 100 or 1000 years from now, we'll all have been the better for it.

A mechanical CAD software, I believe, falls in that category of "humanity should have this in OSS". I think Fusion360 being free and easily accessible made great strides toward this, in the sense that it sort of democratized access to CAD: a lot of people learned to use CAD with it. Now that "gift", which was obviously not free or OSS, has been rescinded and people are coming off their cloud, down to earth and telling themselves that yeah, it wasn't going to last forever and they ought to have known, and it's probably time to make put our hands at work toward making this tech an OSS asset for humanity.

I don't think you're looking at it from the right perspective, or have the right base assumptions in place.

The thesis here is that current hiring practices are biased (often implicitly and unintentionally) against women and POC. Since removing implicit bias is exceedingly difficult, actively requiring hiring managers to hire more people from underrepresented groups is a way to put your thumb on the scale in order to equalize them.

I can understand how you'd see that as discrimination against white men, and if you squint at it in just the right way, it really seems like it is, but what it's really doing is attempting to reduce an unfair advantage that white men have. No, it's not perfect, and I'm sure occasionally a white male does legitimately get discriminated against. But that's a small price to pay to lift a ton of other people out of the status quo of discrimination they're usually stuck in.
>> host it close to metal as possible

Wouldn't it be less efficient to host something myself than to use some cloud provider?

The DSi is great too of course, but if the scaling of DS games is a problem for you on a 3DS you can display the games unscaled/letterboxed by launching the game (or TwilightMenu) while holding Select or Start. I too much prefer displaying them without the bar scaling. The same trick works for Virtual Console games including GBA titles.
