I wanted AMD but quicksync for a Plex server is just so good. I bought an I7 NUC10 for this role and it’s great. Virtualised OS, Docker for Plex and it’ll do 11x transcodes (1080p to 720p) in hardware while also hosting several other machines. The first time you pass though the GPU to the Vm, then into Docker is a bit of a head scratcher, but it’s actually fine and works well.

It has a maximum of 64gb ram and is tiny. With an nvme drive (Samsung Evo) it is really really fast.

The next best option as far as I was concerned was the NUC8, and while I’d love to have the PSU onboard and no brick, a Mac Mini is a lot of money.

The Nuc8 is a better option than the 10 for anything that’s needing actual graphics. The 10 has a very anaemic GPU compared to the 8, but has 2 more CPU cores when comparing i7s.
Software seems to be doing okay, jobs-wise. The number of recruiters showing up in my inbox hasn't changed. I think health insurance is included in the severance.
That would be memory latency, not memory bandwidth.
I don't think so, coding is so different than it has ever been, and is a different paradigm that most other things. Take farming, for example. Fundamentally farming is 100,000 years old. Getting up to speed on modern methods is just adding something else to the stack and, while complicated, those methods aren't totally foreign for someone who understands what farming is.

Something like coding is so alien to a 70-80 year old it's basically incomprehensible. That won't be the case with us in 50 years when were that age because we understand it, but there will probably be other things at that point that are equally incomprehensible.
These tests are sketchy - I have been awarded 17.85 bits on this browser however 13.94 bits come from one line item:

But as a Linux user, those are all mapped by Freetype (some to the same typeface) as many of those are copyright (? encumbered, not freely licensed) fonts:

This website javascript test is measuring a heuristic, giving it a very high score (almost twice as high as anything else, "Hash of canvas fingerprint" is next) but that measurement is patently false compared to the real data. (it also reports no Ad Blocker used and I have uBlock-O fully enabled).
When I see things like this, and aweSIM, and the not-yet-materialized Purism USA Edition (and the price tag associated with that), and the exposé by a former manager, and their unethical resale of open source software...

Thanks! The results are sorted by recency independently on both sides. So it should show the most recent comment a candidate has made on top by default, unless you choose to sort a column differently in the UI.

My hope was that providing a way to sort by recency will also help show candidates' position changes over time.
I don't think it can be understated how much saying 'no politics' is a political statement. Supporting the status quo is a political statement. And supporting the status quo in this political climate is a strange hill to plant your flag on.
Why they go with gaming CPU first when it doesn't make much difference if cpu is 6% faster? I was hoping to see a product I could use in a workstation e.g a 32 core one that would have single core speed better than Intel. From that perspective the launch feels dissapointning. I've been needlessly holding money as I need a new CPU. I will have to go with a top Intel one. I'll try AMD next year maybe.

How to Construct a Reliability Model for Your Organization
It's too expensive to fab test chips so it's all done using cycle-accurate simulation software like SimpleScalar or gem5 and later using FPGA-based emulation like Palladium/ZeBu.
If all your costs are inflating, why wouldn't you also be inflating your prices in line?

This seems to be what happens in restaurants or groceries or other things where we go "wow, you used to get a coke for fifty cents!"

A business that can't pass that cost on seems to have more fundamental "loss of relative demand compared to the past" issues that would squeeze it dry even without inflation. In that world, your costs would be static but customers would be willing to pay less over time, so you'd die.
> COBRA alone would eat up most of the severance.

A single software engineer paying for full price for high premium plan on COBRA would be spending around $400[1], over the whole 18 months of doing that it would be $7,200 which would be less than one month's paycheck on a $160,000 salary.

A cursory look at h1bdata.info shows that Coinbase pays plenty of H1B's that much, on the low side.

Your view is a little exaggerated.

There isn't a downside here. If you were there a very short amount of time, just remove it from your resume and have a gap. Its inconsequential for software engineers. If you were there for over a year, take your vested shares, leave it on your resume, and still coast. If you were already interviewing and had another offer, do the same.

[1] To my surprise, people are paying WAY more for health insurance. Are they San Francisco/Bay Area residents? Unknown. Are they individuals or paying the family rates? Unknown. Are they using the most competitive providers? Unknown. Is Coinbase still covering health insurance for people on severance as if they were employees with COBRA starting after the severance period is over, adjusting all of our math? Unclear.
LaGuardia is in Queens. Of course its convenient for people who live there!

Hmm, I guess a lot of this comes down to where you're going, where you're coming from, and what you're planning to do.

My friends live in Brooklyn and Manhattan. They pay high rent prices by they sold their cars (100% car free). So if I visit NYC, I have to figure out transportation on my own to meet them at whatever location. (Broadway, or various talk-shows like Colbert etc. etc.), which are typically on Manhattan proper.

----

I'll say this: from the perspective of Wash DC -> NYC, I have the choice of either Planes or Trains. The Trains run along-side the Airports (in fact, there are more Train stops). Trains seem like the more convenient option.

From your perspective: NYC -> Wash DC, I think the airport makes more sense. There's less to do in Wash DC than NYC. Union Station is cool and all, but most of what to do in the area is in the suburbs, which inevitably means you need a car. If you're getting a car, might as well land at an airport.

The Wash DC -> NYC trip however is accomplished without ever renting a car, and just staying on the subway lines to get wherever you need.
It seems that you and I are talking at cross purposes. Modern technology makes new circumstances where it can be made impossible for a single person, or even all of the people in one or more major jurisdictions, to be able to effect a transaction, acting alone or in concert.

Hardware security systems also permit such things, in more limited circumstances.

The state's capacity for violence is finite, and is scoped by their legal and physical jurisdictions. There is no state, as yet, that can wield unlimited violence throughout the same scope as the uncensored internet.
As they make money on each trade of Bitcoin they are doing quite well financially even if Bitcoin prices aren't shooting to the moon.
Higher performance SOCs have caches and memory controllers integrated, but main memory and main non-volatile storage external so they can be varied at assembly for different SKUs.
> There’re vendor-agnostic equivalents like Eigen.

That's looking at the wrong layer of the hierarchy, I think. There are many open-source linear algebra libraries, but iirc they all link against something that has a BLAS/LAPACK API. That might be something like MKL, OpenBLAS, ATLAS, etc.

When I last checked, MKL was much faster than its competitors, and is only available (at full speed) on Intel CPUs. Has that changed?
I think we now understand much of the legend of the original damascus steel to have come from trace amounts of vanadium in the ore.
ANAL but “give me all IPs that searched for ‘isotope separation’ in certain zipcode” is not in fact a constitutional search warrant (or at least shouldn’t be in a non totalitarian state)
How is this better than the DNT Do Not Track header? Is there a set of laws with teeth that will punish sites that do not obey a persons preferences? Are the laws specific enough that lawyers won't have to deal with ambiguity? Is there a built in reporting framework that will automatically log and submit violations to the EFF and will they pursue legal action? Will those sites lose their domains if they fail to comply? I thought the EFF already had funding challenges. If we are taking small fines, big businesses will just treat this as a cost of doing business.
Sure, but in that sense ("it might help defend against an attack") you could argue that Google should also be allowed to keep & use all interactions listened to by Google Assistant, Google Nest etc. They may very well help.
That's if people even remember. Which means maybe the next 6-12 months, and after that it'll be forgotten.

> Well, the generally-accepted term has been "salesman" for over a hundred years

Who cares? Did your ancestors coin the term or something? You can keep writing "salesman" whenever you write things yourself. "Salesperson" doesn't seem at all offensive, and I think it's bizarre to nitpick such a trivial and irrelevant aspect of the article. It reads to me like political virtue-signaling since the article has nothing to do with the gender of the traveling agent.
Softlayer was a one trick pony. They had the best bare metals in the market. But their product was very poorly built and extremely hard to scale out or add features to.

This is not unexpected. Startups will optimize for a few use cases and deliver, get acquired on those strengths only for the acquiring company to realize that ... the tech isn’t easily scalable.
Lenovo is chinese, right? How many other (big) chinese companies have been through Dell's cycle as you describe it?

IBM is a very capable company when it comes to technology R&D. But they've always seemed to struggle to develop those capabilities outside of high-end consulting work.

IBM had the technical chops to create the likes of ARM, nVidia, or any number of big tech companies. They just never seemed to have the leadership capabilities to get out of their comfort zone. I understand the idea of keeping a business focused, but Alphabet and MS don't seem to struggle with managing a diverse portfolio of companies.
Of course it does because everything that even remotely touches the non-shadow economy, starting a business, investing in publicly traded firms, interacting with everything that isn't crypto, paying taxes or anything that touches the rest of the world is subject to governance. You can invent a hundred new crypto technologies, if you want to actually do something useful with crypto other than betting on crypto exchanges or buying heroin online you'll need to have some sort of legal recognition.
Wow I literally handed in my two weeks today -- this is either a very good move or bad... I'm thinking good still.
Microsoft still owns rights to OS/2, I believe this is part of why IBM cannot release OS/2's source code to third party distributions of OS/2 such as eComStation and ArcaOS
Isn't it better to at least try and stop it instead of throwing in the towel? Can we agree that if something is bad, someone trying to stop it is better than not trying to stop it at all?
For the record, FL lost 139 people yesterday

139 deaths were reported; those deaths actually occurred over the last several months. Which means we won't know how many actually died yesterday for a while, but it's likely well below 139.

Thankfully there is very little of the PC or AT legacy left in current computers. Even backwards compatibility with the BIOS is starting to disappear from PCs.
Or they joined during the crypto euphoria era and have been disappointed by the general state of the market, and decided it was a good deal to give them some runway to find something that excites them more.

> for one don't want government to be able to regulate / control / trace transactions.

This comes up every single time with cryptocurrencies.

Generally speaking: yes, you do. Most of the regulations surrounding financial transactions are there to protect you, and other market participants.

I wish crypto people had the chance to spend one day in a bank, working on regulatory issues. The vast majority of them are all about either protecting the clients, or the market, or society in general.

Edit: to expand a bit, most of that regulation is there to ensure that a bank doesn't screw you, or to enforce transparency for you, or to ensure that illicit money doesn't enter the system (which is also in your interest), etc.
That's typo correction kicking in. If a term (like crypto) has zero or very few occurrences in the candidates' speeches, the typo correction logic kicks-in and starts looking for additional results that are close misspellings of the word.

I'm thinking of indicating in the UI, when typo corrected results show up in the results vs the original search terms.
I am curious what tools you are using. I am trying to upgrade Angular 1.4 to 1.7 and it is a nightmare. Has your method had any sort of time test for upgradability?

A long time ago perhaps up until even Phenom2 processor from AMD I used to hear people saying AMD systems felt snappier even though they weren't benchmarking as good.

Does anyone have a solid explanation was it just rumours, fanboyism or there was something about the system. I just thought about context switch or syscall overhead was that ever meaningfully different.
Different problem because your value is in the index not the content.

Ken Thompson
Glad to see this take, it was in line with what I was thinking. Namely, that APIs have always been an extremely poor excuse for true openness, more or less a way to get that half-freedom of "letting other people do your work for you" without always being required to give back.
Correcting my own mistake. If a 50% improvement is required to be more efficient than the current process, it means their process consumes up to twice, 200%, the energy.
Market dynamics.

The cost to produce goods rises much more rapidly than what you can actually sell your product for. People would simply stop buying if you increased prices 12-13% every year (which is what is typical for me in the restaurant industry in Mexico)

New entries usually start with a lower quality product by default, so you usually have to keep prices and drop quality if you don't want to be priced out (or move into a far more upscale and finicky market).
Right. I think a more layperson interpret-able visualization would be to have what appears to be a "fair" (centered) sampling, and show the results based on the likelihood of landing in Trump/Biden.

A biased sampling with uniform slots at the bottom shows the same thing, yes.
My cynical take on this is Coinbase is preparing for Democrats to take control of the US gov't in a few months and sees Republicans suddenly becoming very concerned about gov't / central bank failures and buying cryptocurrency as a hedge. Don't want to be seen a leftist company when your user growth will come from the right.
> Inflation is also the main cause of quality decline seen in absolutely everything.

Optimization is the main cause of quality decline. Inflation has nothing to do with this. Inflation is neutral as it raises all prices equally.
Alternatively, if you see a resume with Coinbase through 2020-2021, that person probably prefers the opposite, which may also be seen in a positive or negative light, depending on your stance.
Women could sign a mortgage in the 70s (albiet discounted), so the original claim is false.

Amazon release their S3 client libraries under the Apache license. Creating a backend for that client is permitted under the license. So all these S3 clones are fine.
Thanks for making this. What scares me about a mask is that it could do more harm than good: if it's made with non-safe materials I am breathing through it for hours on end, bad things might happen.

I'd like to order from Ali Express but have no way of judging safety or knowing if the certifications are enforced. With a European distributor I hope that they are.

Do you have any tips on judging if a mask is going to be safe?
Well, they might have a "lead" in the sense that they have technology to avoid having a driver, but there's still chicken-and-egg problems like demand vs availability and wait times (two of the criticisms lashed out at taxis, in comparison to Uber). I'm also curious about how driverless plays out in the real world (e.g. is there an equivalent of "oh shoot, I accidentally put the wrong address, can you drop me off over at X instead?", what's going to happen with drunk passengers, etc)

I'm also wary because ride sharing is a customer service intensive industry, an area Alphabet isn't exactly strong at.

As a former IBMer, I completely agree with that sentiment. Little of what IBM is good at is sexy but that doesn't change the fact that they lead on many vertically integrated things. Turning back on those things will hurt them in the long run.
isn't the difference between L1, L2 and L3 also because of the functionality, not just the size+speed? L1 is data and code. L2 is data only, per core. L3 is data, synchronized between cores.
A single well placed Rc<RefCell<T>> can simplify a design immensely, and it is made obvious if it is present in a performance critical path. 99% of the time, though you don't use it because either the design is simple enough not to need to deal with multiple ownership, or the performance requirements make it so that you have to figure out how to avoid it.

> it seems to me that it would defeat the point of using Rust at all and go with a strongly-typed GC language.

This seems to be a regular comment when talking about Rust (among other "incremental improvement" approaches) and I don't really get it: for 95% of the code things are simple enough that you don't have to think too much about it, the other 5% can either rely on one of the multiple-ownership safe abstractions or use unsafe. To me this framing sounds like "why do I need seat belts, if I fall of a cliff it won't do any good!"
Healthcare was also part of the severance package, and the market for software engineers in the Bay Area remains strong.
Though, the cheap masks you have there are not eligible for shipment to the United States. It would be nice to see ones that are available for shipment to the U.S.
The REASON that AMERICANS HATE unions is...

1. Anti-union propaganda and the union-busting efforts of American corporations and their consultants starting in the 1970's leading up through the policies of Reagan.

2. Globalization and the loss of manufacturing jobs.

SADLY, in the interim American wages have been flat since the 70's and class inequality has exploded.

"Had the fruits of the nation’s economic output been shared over the past 45 years as broadly as they were from the end of World War II until the early 1970s, a full-time worker whose taxable income is at the median would instead be making $92,000 to $102,000" instead of $50k.
