>When you're using the USB interface, there is some chip in between the actual SSD and your computer. USB doesn't directly handle reading and writing to SATA or NVMe drives, so software on your computer encodes it to go out USB, and then some chip takes that USB signaling and converts it to read/write to the SSD, and vice-versa. If the controller on the USB interface is poor quality, it may reduce the performance of the overall set up. I've had external regular SATA/USB enclosures have varying performance despite being the same underlying drives inside.

Yes, I understand this. What I am thinking of is the overhead of reading and constructing each block from flash. Is this really limited by the USB controller capability(I guess theoretically yes since its in the chain?) or is it just limited by the Flash controller and typical USB controllers. I guess we can test a theoretical bottleneck by running an IOPS test and comparing it to official Benchmark numbers of that Optaine model. That way we can eliminate the USB controller if the numbers match up.

This is the structure from what I understand. PC Host Controller<--->USB Controller(in the enclosure)<--->Flash Controller(On the SSD)<--->Flash chip(On the SSD). Is this wrong?

So here with Optane we have a massively high throughput of small files but a lower throughput of large files.

Is this scenario something that a USB controller would noticeably slow down? I have never tested this before.

A regular SSD has lower throughput of small files in exchange for high throughput of large files(slower throughput but higher bulk transfer) which is noticeable if the USB controller was not up to the task (See most USB Drives which have this + flash controller on the same board)

Basically the whole reason this idea came up in my head is that I notice that despite using high bandwidth drives to install clean Windows and Linux copies, I notice certain bottlenecks in the install process that I suspect are a result of many small files being copied/unpacked(either copying package files in Linux or unpacking the WIM in Windows).

So that led to me wanting to benchmark a High IOPS drive and comparing it to low IOPS to see once and for all if the install process is choking on the drive vs something else (ie. the CPU capability for decompressing). Its just a weirdo side project that I wanted to try.

Eventually I even wanted to somehow try a ramdisk type scenario although I don't think that sort of hardware exists.

This is also motivated by the fact that I don't have a way to intercept the file reading process on the drive as they are being read to see if the drive really is the source of any bottlenecks or if its the installer code.
I have seen this sentiment being reflected by many people (in one extreme case someone called that they were being persecuted by the government). Indian caste system is an unfair oppressive system put together to maintain the hierarchical advantage. Reparations/interventions were needed to bridge the gap, if not the unfairness would be much more rampant.

Not sure about IITs, I went to one of the top NITs and thats definitely not the case with people not being able graduate in 4 years. I have personally seen examples of people completely uplifting their family from poverty by the chance they have gotten via reservation.

Disclaimer: I am neither upper caste nor lower, somewhere in the middle, I guess and have not been positively or adversely impacted because of my caste.
Will there be an open source alternative?

Huggingface or an academic effort could also improve the efficiency of few/one shot learning, or simply a crowdsourced model build seems within reach.

I guess to run the model you need a large machine too.
Why hasn't Google taken G suite seriously already? The only gem is Gmail. The rest feels like toys (i.e. 20% projects).
I find comments like this incomprehensible. Are you using a Vim emulator in VS Code? If not, how can you possibly be more productive? People use Vim precisely because it offers a faster more efficient way to write code. What is it about VS Code that makes you more productive?
Which Tandy DOS computer; there were several? While not bad machines, the 80186 ones suffer from all sorts of more or less annoying incompatibilities because of the differences between the peripheral layout and BIOS compatibility. A number of friends of mine got burned by that.
Interesting, and a good start, but none of that info is hard to come by, basic irs and census data. I think I would need more then some basic public stats to make good investing decisions... For instance help on how does one use all those numbers to make a good investment, would be more helpful. Also some local knowledge on why certain areas stand out in certain data sets, would also help inform good decisions. Not as states and their politics are equal. The text at top does mention these things, but doesn't really elaborate much.

For instance an area in california that doesn't have a lot of recent home sales will stick out as having really low property taxes, which is not reflective of the tax rate you would pay when you buy in that area.

Water polo requires a pool which is an expense that doesn't make sense for non-rich schools. Volleyball doesn't have a major professional league nor one of the big college sports in the USA, so its not in the interest of poor students to take part in because they probably could also be playing Basketball which has a very high profile league and is a major college sport.
Is there a good brand of enclosures that I could rely on? I am not sure if this is a typical use case such that the big guys would manufacture an enclosure that's compatible.
SwiftUI being closed source is a huge issue for developers. Apple behaves as if every user is immediately on the latest version but the reality is the _lucky_ developers support one major version back. SwiftUI is broken in completely different ways for each minor release of iOS 13 and none of the fixes in 14 are possible to use in 13.

It's shocking how mismanaged the SDK development at Apple is.
I leaned towards MIA at first when starting to study Japanese, but couldn't bring myself to work through it because I wouldn't have had the motivation to listen to Japanese content for hundreds of hours without understanding a whole lot of it. By contrast, WaniKani and BunPro are incredibly rewarding because you quickly know enough characters and basic grammar rules to be able to understand simple sentences and even form them with some effort. It's one of the few occasions that I"ve seen gamification applied to further the interest of the user instead of just the platform operator.

I do agree that immersion is important in reaching fluency, but I've decided for myself to build up a bigger foundation of kanji, vocabs and grammar than what MIA prescribes, so that the immersion will be more enjoyable.
> I am not even sure I could write Java from scratch in Vim - its really that I'm using IntelliJ, not writing Java. Is this bad?

What I see here is the IDE being powerful to make up for a lack of power in the language. Is that bad? Maybe.

I tend to think it's bad because tooling usually does less for making code easy to read than it does for making code easy to write. Furthermore, one of the few characteristics that seems to consistently predict defect rates is codebase size.

On the other hand, increased abstraction can also require more effort to read, and you'll get a lot more resistance in most projects to switching languages than you would to you switching your editor.

The reason they had to be formatted on a PC to be used by both was only due to endian-ness issues:

TOS was tolerant of both big and little endian FAT

While MSDOS tolerated only little-endian.

However the GEM desktop's formatting utility formatted big-endian only.

So to get a floppy readable on both you formatted under MSDOS. Or used a better formatting utility on your Atari that let you choose little endian mode.

Developing the best free photo editor – Ivan KUCKIR – Web2day 2019
A tool like this was at the core of the Twitter frontend rewrite done years ago ~2011 time frame. Diffed both HTML and JSON responses, at scale, to find any issues. Amusingly found lots of issues in the original where the new system was correct.

edit:

We did it via a front-end proxy that would send the request to the original system, get the response and send it, then send the request to the test system along with the response from the first system and diffed them. Had a bunch of heuristics for various element types where you could expect differences between them (timestamps mostly).
Hey there!

Tables PM here; your comment caught my eye as it had an interesting point about the Sheets API access changes that are coming. We do offer an API and while Tables isn't intended as a replacement for Sheets in any way, we're hoping it might be useful for folks who do need a lightweight database for their work. :)

I wanted to be fair and call out that Airtable also has a free tier (and API), and they offer a lot of great features and functionality as well that can be great for startups!

At the end of the day, you should use what fits your needs best. I wanted to create Tables because our team didn't have a great work tracking tool that quite fit our needs, and it felt like we could help other Google apps users and businesses too (especially during this time of remote working with covid). I hope you'll get to make your work life simpler, no matter whichever tool you choose.

I feel less bad about MIT taking money from Epstein, than the cover-up around it. People and institutions make mistakes. That's okay. It's a question of what you do about them. MIT has a history of hiding stuff like this, and of intimidating anyone who would talk about it openly.

MIT shut down the entire CSAIL mailing list -- whose legacy dates back to the old AI Lab days -- because someone had the nerve to raise the question of Epstein, asking what MIT's attitude should be towards a faculty member who visited the island. The list had been through horrible flamewars, thick and thin, over it's many-decade existence, and it finally took the whole Epstein cover-up to shut it down. MIT did the equivalent of a shadowban, collecting all emails sent to the list, but not forwarding them to the community for two days, to see what people send BEFORE announcing it was shut down. A lot of people sent a lot of stuff they wanted to share with the community but not the leadership.

To give a slight bit more context, the question was about a faculty member who had visited Epstein's island. We were promised that'd be answered in MIT's so-called fact-finding report. Naturally, it wasn't. It got shut down before anyone publicly put 2 and 2 together.
I've been a big fan of Vivaldi for a while now. They seem really on top of adding features and customization options. Everything feels snappy and is a great balance of modern/performant UI.

I use it as my work browser, and run Firefox as my personal, mostly due to Vivaldi not having an iOS browser (I love me some tab sync).
Awesome product! One of those 'How does this not already exist?' products.

Has the 11ty community gotten better at tutorials and adoption materials? One of the reasons why I went with gatsby is that there are many blogs about how to add tags to your site, i18n, etc?

One of the issues I had with 11ty in the past was that it was hard to get started. At least with gatsby they provide a guided experience with a bunch of community content to get you through.
DNSimple

I posted about them here a few days ago, but they are unbelievably better than every registrar I've ever used. And I've used Namecheap, Godaddy, Bluehost, Google Domains, the list goes on.

They're profitable, bootstrapped, going nowhere, been around a long time. Their dashboard is so simple and they make it easy to use DNS templates, but they also have a simple and friendly API.
The University of California is a public university. It's also huge and doesn't really suffer from the artificial scarcity of something like 'an undergrad spot at Harvard'. There are lots of ways to get in. What you're describing sounds at once cynical and naive to me and that's a questionable starting place for thinking about public policy in a country-sized state.
If you're talking about the SAT and ACT, I would challenge the idea that they can accurately distinguish between the good and outstanding. At most they provide a rough indication. I know this because I got a much higher score than I deserved to on the ACT because you can read the test pretty easily if you put yourself in the shoes of the people making it (I got a 31 overall and a near-perfect 35 on the science portion without studing)
> "The media" would have had far less grist if Trump hadn't been astonishingly incoherent and outright lying much of the time

See, that's exactly the thing. Trump is absolutely a liar and incompetent and lots of other things, but it doesn't follow that the media has to lie to exaggerate these attributes. If the media contented itself to report the facts, they would expose Trump's lies and incompetence, the would preserve their own credibility, and they would reduce the overall volume of disinformation, partisanship, and other kinds of toxicity. Instead they play into his hand, presumably because there's a market for that kind of grifting.
I misunderstood. The lack of quotation marks made it seem like it was your story.
Awesome. LJ was the only digital magazine I'm aware of that released their stuff with EPUB as an option, which made it readable on my Kobo.

The actual substance of the article is neat, but I don't have much to say about it beyond that...
It's been analyzed in much greater depth. Pfeffer's "Power" and de Mesquita's "Dictators Handbook" are treatments from a psychological and game-theoretic point of view, respectively. Both are well-researched scholarly tracts from top professors in the field. Pfeffer is controversial, while de Mesquita is pretty accepted organizational psychology.

Where we run into problems is that most people from any demographic are basically good, and people extrapolate from that. But power isn't a demographic; there's a selection process.

I didn't think what I posted was overly controversial, but as of now, it's a -3, with no one posting why they disagree. The only time that's happened before was the (now many times) I hit a nerve with the Google astroturf crowd. And I don't even dislike Google. But them's the taboos.
Cool. Thank you for your feedback and good luck with your project.
Google is shutting down paid Chrome extensions
I'm exactly what you describe at the end: a simple Emacs editor (with Evil) and CLI for almost anything else. Building and running code? They all happen in the terminal. Version control? I tried Magit, didn't like it, and went back to git CLI in a terminal. Auto formatter? Likewise in the CLI; in fact I have shell aliases that automatically run them when I commit.

I haven't really hit a wall, and I personally think I'm just as productive, if not more, than IDE-using colleagues.

In my experience, the mistake of updating code without updating the accompanying comment is commonly made, but does not commonly survive code review.
> * What is "tracking"? Is recording a server log tracking? What if it only records the pathname? What about the "visitor counter" GIFs from the 90s?*

1. There's an opt-out.

2. It is clear as a day that the other side can see when you've read the message.

3. Again, services consumed with consent.

> ...my point was you need to clearly define what you mean with that.

Agreed. I think PII (personally identifiable information) is a good start.

> ... it's all very easy to make vague proposals when you're in the opposition

Some organizations have been working long and hard over privacy issues online. There have been very well-defined, valid, and solid proposals from them. We'll see eventually what comes of those.

> ...need to actually start enacting workable realistic laws that take all the various legitimate interests in account things get much harder.

Agreed. You'd love this talk by B Schneier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3NJ-Ow2Lvg?t=39m39s
Also, something I forgot to mention - this is the opposite of better customer experience at checkout. You will be sitting through endless captcha after captcha if you aren't lucky, and your orders are automatically assumed to be fraud if you run adblock, pihole, nextdns, ublock origin, or use obscure browsers like "firefox" or "opera" or "brave"...
i find pixlr a little better but i wish both came as desktop apps (it couldnt be that hard to wrap up with electron?) since there are still lots of limitations working in the browser (poor file history, large file support, etc)
Garbage in, garbage out. If you admit dummies, they are not

Are the projects related? Or all unique? If related, you can create a uber project and import each directory as a module. I’ve got a project right now with 5 modules - 2 JS, 1 Go, 1 Python, and 1 Ruby (Rails). I’ve found this keeps memory usage down.
The least problematic options have been Microsoft Edge (already on the system) and Adobe (more problematic).

IntelliJ is hardly bloated. In some cases it barely uses more memory than VS Code.

I have Webstorm with 15 projects open using 500mb of ram, and IntelliJ using about 800 on a larger Java project.

Thanks for the alternative, Shodan blocks my [cloud] IP for some reason...
I haven’t used IntelliJ, but if it gives Java developers half of the refactoring options and shortcuts that JetBrains Resharper gives C# developers, it must be worth its weight in gold.

C# is the only language for which I have had to deal with large monolithic codebases.

For smaller codebases, I prefer VS Code. Especially now that I go back and forth between JS, Typescript, Python, and occasionally Go and Java. I’m also frequently editing yaml and JSON. Having one editor is more ideal.
I went to a school that had essentially this system in place. There wasn't a reverse auction, but rather, full tuition was a significant chunk of change, and as a result, a significant chunk of the student body was there on various merit-based scholarships.

You could usually tell which group a given individual was from, and saying so was a common insult. Either "Your folks may have money, but you're dumb as a post", or "You might be smart but you're poor". There were a select few students where the circles seemed to overlap...
> if my compuer and IoT hub is on my main network, and the lightbulb is on the guest one, how do they talk?

If your IoT devices aren't on the same subnet as your smartphone or computer, the vast majority of their "frontend apps" are already DOA. If you're lucky, those apps might let you explicitly specify the device's IP address (in a half-baked fashion that still doesn't work very well).
The Foreign Actors can sit back. The domestic spreaders of disinformation have got it covered.
I wonder what causes this, my guess is probably many different factors; Finland social programs encouraging exercise, nutrition improved quite a lot, probably the Internet gave people access to new hobbies and interests. There are probably better in person socialising for old people than 30 years ago too.
It's cute how climate change has been so politicized. If only there was some reason for that.
Hey jbm, Tables PM here, your comment definitely resonated with me.

Fun fact: I'm Canadian! :P On your point though: as my own opinion, there's some very smart people here trying to make sure we're doing things in a safe way that protects both our users and our team, and so sometimes we're asked to start small. As a result, we're doing what we can to offer something useful for people and businesses during these covid times, while still respecting the boundaries that we've been given. I, like most PMs, hate red tape, but I also appreciate it for the dangers it protects us from. :)

All that said, we're definitely hoping we can offer Tables to more people in the world, so stay tuned!
