New workstation Xeons (Comet Lake), e.g. Xeon W-1250, W-1270, W-1290 are hard to find online but can be seen, in few places, for 350,500,800 euro. Motherboards for these Xeons (socket LGA1200) seem to be a somewhat pricier at 300 euro, but they positively have ECC. Intel still costs more for same perf/capabilities, but if you need ECC and Intel platform, it isn't crazy.

Most people wanting ECC just for the warm fuzzy enthusiast feeling would prefer Ryzen with good MB that supports ECC. Intel makes more sense at the high-end many-core Xeons, due to supporting huge memory with much higher throughput (LGA3647). But that segment is bonkers-expensive.

Not just third world. Reminds me of the politics of Poland from the 18th century onward, that is, after it began to loose its status as a European power following the cataclysmic events of the 17th century (such as the Northern Wars/Swedish Deluge and the Khmelnytsky Uprising). The subsequent corruption and meddling of Prussia and Russia led to the partition and destruction of Europe's largest state.

Today, neocolonialism tends to be economic in method. At least this way, we save appearances at UN meetings. At least for now.

Presently, there are mainly three factions vying for power in Poland, namely, the US camp (represented by the current ruling party), the German camp (represented by the current opposition and the previous ruling party), and the Russian camp (represented by a weakened group of postcommunists that once held power). China is in the mix, too, though its presence is less obvious. Similar things may be said about the other states straddling Central Europe. One strategy involves playing these powers off one another so that they become mutually limiting. Another complementary way out requires that these countries form a bloc of states that can counter foreign domination, which is ostensibly what they're attempting with the Three Seas Initiative. Serbia, however, is not a member of the TSI, probably because of its ties to Russia and conflicts with the other Balkan states in the group. Not sure how those ties relate to Chinese influence.

But aside from that, the risk of payments is not intuitive.
We regularly see threads on Hacker News where people pile on PayPal for 'seizing' the money of an entrepreneur with a business model that involves collecting payments up front and then delivering their good or service at a later date.

I used Verizon's recently, and it was actually forthcoming about this. I think it was part of the text content shown when the connection began (after the annoying pre-chat Q&A during which they try to convince you they can solve your problem without involving a human).
I think people get thrown off because an API is describe through lots of text and can be huge, where as other things are just a layout. The recipe book itself is copyrightable but the language used to describe the recipe isn’t.
It's true - there shouldn't be. But there is judgement embedded in society. There has been judgement throughout history. This is not a question of whether we should judge any races, this is a question of how to eliminate the subtle cultural racism that still exists and hasn't gone away for a hundred years even with a lot of effort. If we can't discuss what's happening, then how can we fix it?

FWIW, affirmative action in various forms has been implemented and debated for a hundred and fifty years in the US. It has in the past been the law of the land, without contradicting the idea that we aren't allowed to discriminate against races. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action_in_the_Unit...
My observation is that people outside the US either are confused or laugh at Americans for giving in to all this social justice nonsense, the “let’s be racist to white people” the “biological sex does not exist” etc.

And people inside the US who trust me enough to express their honest opinion also think it’s nonsense but are too scared to speak up.

Best comment I’ve heard on this was “it’s like the USSR - everyone knows it is bullshit but nobody wants to publicly say it.”

Or, from a senior person at Google “all the work on my team is done by 3 white guys in Eastern Europe, but there are 20 other people for the diversity pie chart.”

It would be laughable if it weren’t so toxic.
No "let's build the best browser" is a vague goal but still a goal. When I say marketing bullshit I mean stuff that is even more vague or even completely without any discernable meaning. E.g.

My reading is that the mere use of an API is a method of practice. It does not matter if the API is simple or complex, in the same as it didn't matter if a single page or multiple pages of account templates were used.
I think your definition of "creativity" is too narrow.

Which is perhaps not surprising, since you say you're an engineer. ;)
Every 3-6 months I try a new project in Flux and it’s definitely catching up quickly! The neural ODE integration is super cool for example. There are also other applications where you might need to calculate higher order gradients or even do forward-mode autodiff, and Flux is first rate there. But I too have had problems porting state of art models in Flux, due to speed and memory issues. The developers are doing an amazing job but only have a fraction of the resources of pytorch or tensorflow. But that will never change unless people adopt and contribute.

Sure it's a budget card, but I don't think it's the issue, because I got great performance on COD WWII (2017) when I tried it at 1080p on high settings.

Additionally, the games listed as problematic ran great on a Dell laptop equipped with an 8th-gen i7 and a GTX 1050 mobile. At least, they ran great for like a minute or two until the thermal throttling kicked in. So given that my HTPC build does have issues, and it has a slightly better GPU and much worse processor, I'm inclined to think the processor is the problem.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much point trying to get a better processor than that for the old LGA 1150 board, when I could spend only slightly more cash on some DDR4 RAM, a B450 motherboard, and maybe an older Ryzen to be upgraded to one of these Zen 3 ones in a few years when prices have dropped.
It would be great if someone could demo their workflow with ed, to give people an idea of how it is. For now, I think I much prefer to see context lines when I’m editing
That's what I was thinking. The poster claims s/he just likes knowing things. OK, well, try to prove that in a court of law with the police on the other side.
Most people don't worry about all aspects of the world's problems, and many people find themselves convinced that the status quo is more comfortable than the alternative. It's not at all surprising to me that a lot of political issues would have a "thought about it, realized the problems, and trying to fix it" position and a "apolitical, don't like thinking about it, don't want to consider changes to the status quo" position that end up butting heads. I don't see how you can go from that to "anyone arguing with 'apolitical' people is following a religion". (Obviously there are bad variants of this scenario like where someone misidentifies a problem or misidentifies the fix, but that doesn't seem necessarily like religious thinking either.)
the 1918 spanish flu death rate was around 20%. It was only in March 2020 after covid19 was mainstream news it got edited in Wikipedia to show 2% (not sure if that's changed by now), you can check the edit history. But in short, in 1918, there were coffin shortages, compared to the toilet paper shortages with covid19.

covid19 and the Spanish flu are not even in the same weight class, not even a little bit, whereas yes, like it or not, covid19 is most likely in the same weight class as the flu depending on your thresholds with the flu at .1% and CV19 around .5 to 1% (likely closer to .5%).

yes, there are some people with long term effects of cv19. that's also true of the flu. Many scientists think age related dementia is caused by repeated exposures to the flu/cold. flu/cold have also caused heart and organ damage to many, it just doesn't get reported on. 'oh, this person died of organ failure, wonder why'. It's already a proven fact that the flu has caused the onset of type 1 diabetes for example. There are also many reported cases of heart disease caused by the flu. the flu sucks.

people loose their sh*t when you talk about this. it doesn't minimize the effect of covid19, it just highlights the flu is something serious. for some reason, people are too immature to handle that. or maybe it goes against their worldview we should burn the world to the ground in order to stop covid19.

I think this really depends on the individual learning style. Some people are able to extrapolate from examples and internalize it (e.g. those people who learn language simply from watching TV), and others need a more explicit structure to guide them before they really start internalizing. No method works for everyone all the time.
>Maybe a better solution would be to provide extra help to disadvantaged groups before students are academically segregated.

Yes, the better approach is to help this kids as early as possible. However the problem is that kids are academically segregated from the very start by the quality of their school district. I am all for fixing that.

I might be more willing to believe this academic segregation is a genuine concern from this administration if they actually made any effort at improving these poor districts instead of seemingly ignoring the problem and giving parents the choice to simply abandon these school districts.
> I am curious if anyone uses ed as their editor of choice these days, assuming an actual screen and such of course. If so, why?

I use ed extensively. At least I have EDITOR=ed by default. This started mostly as an experiment to "stretch my mind," but over time ed grew on me.

It changes the way you think about text editing in the same way that Haskell or Clojure or Forth change the way you think about programming.

Ed isn't particularly interesting at first. It feels klunky and editing is slow. But a similar statement could be said about almost any musical instrument. It only really becomes interesting once you have interalized the mechanics of using your tool.

Personally, I find myself organizing text differently than when I use vim. With the latter, I definitely want my code to be visually appealing, while with ed I want it to be appealing to edit.

Definitely encourage you to give it a good, solid try if you're interested.

Of note, there is a mildly famous APL programmer, Aaron Hsu, that claims to like line editors. He wrote his own actually: https://github.com/arcfide/ALE.

This is not the most common type of contract in APIs. More like "this function sorts", or perhaps "this function sorts in O(N*log N) time". Sorting can be done with many different algorithms.

> And furthermore, I do not believe that that there has been significant court ruling saying that discrimination in favor of wealthy people, would be equivalent to discrimination on the grounds of "Race, color, or nation origin", if you are going to make that argument.

You're correct that this is essentially the argument I'm proposing (although you could broaden 'wealth' to a wider range of racially influenced factors of educational success/access). It might not have been made before - Yale may try to make it.
A ToC doesn't actually work like an API.

A ToC cares what order it's in. You can't move Chapter 4 to before Chapter 2 or the implementation has to change. By contrast, the order of functions within a class, or classes within a package, isn't really part of the API -- they're most often in alphabetical order, which is totally mechanistic, and changing the order doesn't change the API.

A ToC is also not a rigid formal specification (like a recipe), but that's the core of what an API is.
> a show stopper for many applications

It's really not.

There's a very small set of applications where the precision of AVX512, but more cores also speeds them up.

A much more important set of applications is those sped up with GPUs or other ML accelerators. Notably the high performance of these CPUs is useful with those too, because they are great at data pipeline crunching prior to the GPU part.
I actually read a good chunk of this today!

My experience in software is pretty different than his, though I find his insights very welcome and quite valuable. I don't really have to build large systems, I work mainly with programs I'd describe as duct tape and wrenches. They're small and one-off, and the main goals are to compose them quickly and arrive at a stable behavior that I can write solid tests for. With ocaml, I think the way I'd write a lot of programs I use python for is roughly the same way, just piping a bunch of crap together and then cramming it into a test harness, but with ocaml I can have type safety and speed and a higher level of footgun to do work with. For me. I do weird work.

If I was a more typical software guy, I'd be able to relate a lot more.

There was inevitably conflict, but I'm skeptical of the "tendencies to rape and sexually conquer the opposition" framing. AFAIK there isn't much evidence for large amounts of inter-group violence. A paper like https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ajpa.23751 lays out a contra case that the absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence--but I think it is a reason to be cautious about what we project back on those populations.

Seems to be a mix. My two friends that game built systems with Zen+/Zen 2 systems and stuck with the stock cooler, as have I (though I do not game as much...

Availability is definitely a big one in big cities. I recall seeing coverage maps where virtually all of the suburbs were severely underserved by existing taxi unions, since downtown was where volume was perceived to be.

The whole Prop22 thing in California is another facet to the equation: ride sharing companies argue that freelance status means they have a far bigger, broader and elastic fleet, whereas a model with fixed costs would make availability look more like taxis before rideshare came along.
As an iPhone user (and Mac for work), of late I've often wondered whether Apple is really just all about the pretty looking things and overhyped launches and marketing campaigns, giving specific (usually trademarked) names to features that have been common place on other platforms for years. And a large portion of their user-base also being their staunch fans. Do they just glue things together under the hood this way and that?
It will never disappear, unless it's replaced by "female actor", whatever incarnation of the word it has an utilitarian purpose by having more information in a single word, "Who is the actress on that movie we just saw?" Same questing without gender would always get asked back "the man or the woman?".
I think you're misunderstanding what I wrote. The creativity that people commonly associate with an API is in the behavior of the API, not in API code. API behavior is no doubt a creative work. If you consider the API to be nothing but code, then your definition of an "API" is too narrow.

Nothing I've said should be construed as denying the richness and brilliance found in the design of software and software-based abstractions.

This is how it used to work on BBS's.

I had a 1200baud modem connected to my C64, and some of the time I could type faster then the transmission speed of the connection. It would be 'fun' to be able to type so fast that the computer would end up buffering the letters..words...sentences and I could watch what I had typed scroll out to the terminal. This was the single biggest motivator in learning how to touch-type.

I do know that sometimes the connection was just so poor that it wasn't because I was awesome, it was just a shitty connection. But I never let that truth get in the way of my ego. =)
