So after all, it seems like it was not strictly an Excel issue, but rather the unknown automated tool[1] that transformed .csv's with more than 65,536 lines into the "old" .xls format (that does have a known 65.536 line limit) truncating data (evidently without reporting any error or warning).

And of course the "dashboards" using .xls data as input seem a lot like an unfortunate choice.

As a side note, it seems to me perplexing that 65,536 rows can contain only 1,400 patients' data, that is 65,536/1,400= 46 lines per patient, so even the original .csv must have been more similar to a .ini file than to a common (multicolumn) .csv.

General rule of thumb is that bigger caches are slower to access.

If AMD have traded a bit of access latency for their larger cache, then theoretically there will be a memory heavy application with a working set that fits in 16MB that will see a preformance hit.

Though, we don't know Zen 2 was running into area based speed limitations for it's L3 cache. It's entirely possible Zen 3's cache runs at the same speed.
It is GPU needed. The intel spec sheet for i3-9350KF doesn't show QuickSync, but i3-9350K does. The difference between the two is that the F series doesn't have a GPU (or it's disabled). Also unavailable on server class Xeons without GPUs.

I agree, it's convenient to have a GPU on most CPUs, but AMD puts less priority on that market, so we just have to wait.
The more I think about inflation, the more I disagree with its basic premise. Inflation is the main cause of the "grow or die" mentality and the many sustainability issues that come with it. You can not afford to have a steady business that isn't growing, because inflation will slowly eat away your margins until you are operating at a loss. Especially since the reported inflation (under 5% in most developed countries) is far from the actual value seen by most businesses (between salary increases, rent increases, supply increases). It takes less than 15 years for a non growing healthy business to go bankrupt.

Inflation is also the main cause of quality decline seen in absolutely everything. When you can not raise prices as fast as your costs are increasing, the only viable option is to lower quality. This inevitably happens every where and is pretty much an accepted fact of life. It's not that companies want to give you a crappier product or service, it's that they have to.

I'm a huge skeptic of all crypto currencies in their current forms, but the deflationary part was one of the ideas that I really liked (not that any government would ever go for a deflationary policy)
There's nothing remotely unconstitutional about search warrants, also, the way we would foil a situation of 'existential concern' would be whatever is most likely to solve the problem.
Having more cache can potentially lower the speed of the cache, as the access time is limited by the time the longest path takes, the propagation delay.

So there's a tradeoff between cache size and cache speed, which is why there are separate L1, L2, and L3 caches of various sizes. So potentially the L3 cache in this architecture could be slower than the L3 cache in the 3000 series. It could also be the same speed if the size was limited for other reasons, such as yield.

I built a small form factor PC for fun, but it's pretty much deadweight.

Having to sit down in the same chair at the same desk for an entire work session is a self-inflicted dealbreaker for me. It made more sense when laptops were so underpowered with such bad battery life. But now, gaming and exotic workloads are the only thing that really justify being tethered to a machine.

If I could go back in time, I'd save that $1000 towards a maxed out Macbook Pro and dual-boot Windows.

> Mono-repos are either a shortcut to avoid release management and dependency management

In a small company, release and dependency management are pointless busy work. And in larger companies, you have enough labor to manage monorepo tooling.

> Using multiple repos, one per shared product (library, SDK, web site, documentation package) is harder to manage because you need to manage your dependencies much better and pull in the correct versions for the current product.

This is the pointless busy work I was alluding to. See also: the diamond dependency problem. Meanwhile the benefits are unclear.

Multi-repos makes sense for entirely disconnected projects or products, or for collaboration in the open-source world. Most companies aren't going to run into significant issues with scaling a monorepo and they'll save a ton of work.
There probably are in which more cache is useless.

I've been using my own interface to easily define CLI applications: https://github.com/breuleux/coleo (kind of a work in progress).

Admittedly, the way it works is kind of black magic, so it's probably not for everyone, but it's so simple: just annotate an existing variable with Option and it becomes a command-line argument. You can define options where they are used in the program instead of defining them in one spot and then using them somewhere else.
Your economics are weird. Making a stupid analogy doesn't help it. There are no dragons, just individual people making decisions about how much to save and for what purpose, and when to spend it, based on their individual circumstances.

Holding on to savings is neither positive nor negative, and should be a personal decision based on individual's circumstances (that's where the most detailed information are available about what's good for the individual), not something forced/influenced from the top by blunt whole market manipulation via forced depreciation of value of money, by some committee.

All you've achieved by forced depreciation is forcing people to make needless risks, just to keep value of their savings, while they're trying to save up for something (like starting a business, or buying a flat, or safety of mind). Whole class of brokers, and traders, and lenders, who pray on this situation benefit, of course.

Server access is an interesting scenario to explore. If we're considering an attacker gaining server access, what's to stop that attacker from shipping a modified EnvKey binary that steals your customers' secrets and their encryption keys? If the security of your binary is predicated on GitHub repo access, what happens in the event of GitHub account takeover? At some point, no system is infallible, and I think our Threat Mode adequately addresses this. I appreciate your point of view on this though.

Ah, so actually development is done on a virtual desktop. Makes sense.

Currently, I do most of my work locally on a work issued laptop (and external monitor) with some services offloaded to AWS.

I wouldn't mind building a desktop PC for fun, but as I don't really do high-end gaming, I couldn't see justifying the expense unless I was able to do work on it as well. I'd of course have to get employer sign-off, but I'm just trying to figure out what that kind of agreement might look like.
>I’d rather know what the other person were typing as she typed it.

>And it used to be that I did. Long before instant messaging programs even existed, there was a Unix program for chatting called “talk” (and variations like “ytalk” and “ntalk”). The interface was not like that of chat programs today, where you type a message in the bottom, then hit Enter to send it over the wire to your friend. Instead, talk split the screen in half and transmitted everything you typed letter by letter. If you typed something and then deleted it, your friend would see the whole gaffe. Your text and your friend’s text were never combined into sequence.

I have to admit, i'm not sure if I share the author's enthusiasm for such a system.

It would be heavily dependent on who i'm talking to. If this were the default way of messaging with no other options, this would get a hard no from me. But, with certain people in certain situations, a modern version of this would actually be pretty nice.

Still, I wish overall there were more options for disabling things like typing indicators, read reports, constant online status indicators altogether. My biggest problem isn't so much their existence, but the inability to fully disable them in most cases.
Indeed. And for rust compilation, good single threaded performance can have a significant impact on that last annoyingly slow linking step (at least when building executables).
Well that ship seems to have sailed with a ~$19mil investment and a 20 person (+$4mil/year burn in NYC?) team.
Not as such, but larger caches are slower (due to the speed of light) which can reduce performance. A few apps have seen performance regressions on Tiger Lake.

AMD claims a significant improvement in memory latency though, which is concordant with their large gains in gaming workloads (a 20 % general-purpose-throughput-oriented IPC increase alone would never give you a 20 % FPS increase in games).

First, I think service workers are essential if we don't want all future apps to live and die by arbitrary app store restrictions. Service workers provide a lot of functionality that make web pages competitive (feature-wise) with apps. Second, I'm sure you've seen plenty of implementations that were just fine, you just didn't notice. Angular comes with a default implementation that does caching and plenty of sites use it.

There won‘t be any price cuts this year, and probably until mid 2021, as TSMC capacity is fully booked until then. Samsung was a stop-gap solution for Nvidia, they gambled for better prices and lost.
No, lol, the opposite is not true.

At an inflation rate of 2% per annum, if your wages keep pace with in inflation as they historically have, it's not stealing anything from anyone. You take the money as you receive it, and you invest it. It's a forcing function.

You can invest it in something as simple as a savings account if you believe that's the right approach. Even in a savings account it's collateralizing loans. The only place your actual cash is at real risk from inflation is under your mattress. That's the point.
While I agree with the general statement, I want to remark that 1080p is actually 2k if you treat 2160p as 4k.

I guess you mean 1440p - which you could maybe label as 2.6k. But I don't think there is any such designation. Calling it WQHD is probably the right thing.

> I remember trying it out back in 2014 and saw nothing of interest, as a Haskell user.

this isn't surprising; it's a very different kind of language.

> A lot of the main "selling points" of Rust are getting introduced in C++.

kind of true, but also really not. features from rust are indeed being copied to c++, but imo the key difference between the languages is the attitude towards memory safety. memory safety is "opt-in" with c++, while it is "opt-out" in rust. I doubt this will change anytime in the near future.
West Virginia isn't well placed for that either. The good North-South corridors in the VA/NC area are going to be the Great Appalachian Valley (i.e., the I-81 corridor) or further east as far as the Fall Line (i.e., I-95 corridor). West Virginia doesn't expand that far east, excepting the area around Martinsburg.

WV is a really crappy state to build any sort of hub in. Geographically, it's dominated by a desiccated plateau: every watercourse carves a gorge, with the depth of gorge largely determined by how big the watercourse is. The population of WV is really spread out with no concentrated urban areas. The most concentrated regions are along the major river courses of the Ohio, Kanawha, and Monongahela Rivers, along with the population in the small sliver of the Great Appalachian Valley within its borders.

> with a marketed Hyperloop speed (emphasis on marketed) of 670mph

That is the targeted top speed, AIUI. However, geography hits your butt hard here: it's a simple consequence of physics that higher speeds make your engineering headaches grow more than linearly. Your curve radii grows quadratically with speed, and curve transition length is cubic. Trying to reach max speed in the environment of the Appalachian Plateau will be extremely expensive in terms of viaducts or tunneling, and making up the height difference between the Plateau and the valleys to the east is also going to be challenging.

Interesting. Equity comprises about 50% of my compensation, at my current (public company) job, so changes there do have a significant effect on my overall compensation. That said, since it's not entirely predictable, I still treat it as "bonus" money and try to live only on my salary.
