The paradox of any performance that seems effortless, is that tons of effort invariably went into producing that effect. Good going mate!
On a tangent: Quintilian has an interesting chapter on the use of gesture in rhetoric, and he denounces imitative gesture (and especially imitative voice) as being infra dig, while lauding more abstract gesture as a side channel to breadcrumb the separate parts of a speech and their various relations to the current line of argument.

Ethernet also has 802.3az, so the link speed can be dropped when the speed isn't needed. I'd wager that most home and SME applications are going to be perfectly happy just being able to burst to 10G for a few minutes at a time, and won't need to sustain that speed.
Quoting that same person's latter reply:

"One of the things about commercial equipment is the lack of insulation. So there could be issues with the booster heater affecting the counters around it. The moisture that comes with a high temp machine are also an issue. Maintenance can be a problem if he doesn't have a softener. EDIT: probably the worst thing though, which is mentioned by someone else below, is that if a commercial appliance causes a fire or other damage, you might be S.O.L. when it comes to your homeowners insurance."
This reminds me of my favorite Richard Feynman quote:

“Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination - stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one - million - year - old light. A vast pattern - of which I am a part... What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it. Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?”
Not exactly cheap but run.pivotal.io (cloud foundry) and openshift online are both $25 GB/min which is a little more accessible. I'm not sure about Pivotal's online platform but PCF has some pretty simple autoscaling plugins that could spin down instances during low usage

A lot of Fortune 500 companies have Cloud Foundry setups and it's built on some of the same tech as Heroku so it's fairly accessible

The parents are interviewed, and from my experience there might not be quite as much more to the story than it may seem.

Children are capable of absolutely amazing things when they are told "yes" and given respect and minimum guidance. Of course my example is not as mind-blowing as this, but my son built his own forge and has made beautiful knives and swords from found metal. Tons of research and sweat and persistence on his part, and not ours. And if we were interviewed about it, the soundbites would come out about the same: "Yup, he did it, we were a bit worried, but he was managing the risks and knew and followed the necessary rules, so ultimately we trusted him."
Those would need to be two identical dishwashers, with easily removable racks, so that you could just swap the whole racks. Otherwise, it isn't buying all that much.

Alan Watts talks about this idea in The Wisdom of Insecurity. I don't have the book to hand so this is the closest quote I could find:

“The discovery of this reality is hindered rather than helped by belief, whether one believes in God or believes in atheism. We must here make a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practice, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost the opposite of faith. Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would “lief” or wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go. In this sense of the word, faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception.”

You are either incredible naive or just blind to the plight of your own country men. Do you know how many homeless people there are in the Bay Area? Have you ever seen black people working at Target or Walmart? Have you bothered talking to janitors at your office. Try talking to these people and see how life is going on for them. Sure its not comparable to what I did, but they have their own struggles and life is quite hard for them. Try talking to them and see what they think about those 'rich guys'(programmers).

The living standards you talk about are really for white people hailing from upper middle to rich class white families. Not every one has a $1.5 million home in San Ramon, Cupertino or Morgan Hill. Not everyone has a Tesla and a minivan for kids.

I'm not lowering the standards for anybody, If Im living that way, then there are already people for whom the VTA pass, coupons and timberland shoes were made. I'm just fitting in. You also can't fault me for not spending money like the way others do. If things in your society came at minimal standard of living acceptable to everyone, then everyone would be already living at those standards.

So tomorrow if people waiting tables at Starbucks or janitors took up programming jobs and lived like me, what would you do? Ban programming jobs for them, and reserve only for people who live the way you like?

Also what will you do about things like 'ramen profitability', or people like Elon Musk who at many times have stared at personal bankruptcy and have slept on their office floor.

Yes!

Just to provide one anecdotal example, I have a Asus Zenbook Windows 10 laptop (OEM installed), where the touchpad just randomly breaks after some Windows updates every few years.

Right now my laptop isn't recognizing any multi touch gestures, which makes scrolling a pain in the ass.

I can't exactly remember what I did to fix it the last time, but it involved downloading some drivers from the touchpad manufacturers website (not the laptop vendor), which looked really dodgy. A non-technical user would have zero chance of getting it to work.

For a technical user such as myself, it would be much easier to recompile libinput with some patch I grabbed from their issue tracker.

As a bonus, there's less chance of getting malware from the latter than going to some Asian hardware manufacturer's poorly translated website in search of a compatible driver download.

I always am irritated when people insist on disabling javascript. The fundamental problem is that HTML on its own is flawed and unusable. Even the most basic features that users expect will require a few lines of javascript.

Half of the webapps I make are just digitalizing existing paper forms. There is barely any javascript but the javascript that is there is absolutely essential. If the noscript warriors actually thought about ways of making plain HTML good enough that a JS free site was possible then I'd have sympathy for them. As it is right now they are asking the impossible. They would even complain about htmx even though it is exactly what they want.
This is very nice, I did something very similar many years ago for a client and am glad someone has made a polished version as a library.

Or auction the H1Bs to employers.

If skilled foreigners accept lower wages because the right to come to the US is worth something to them, then the price of the visa would settle at around the difference in wages. So overseas workers wouldn't undercut US residents. And the perceived monetary value of living in the US would accrue to the government, not to body shops.
So fuck the environment, the rules are for other people?
> anyone here, like me, not find automated dishwashers very useful?

No, when we got our fist dishwasher after our second child was born the dishwasher was like a miracle. We got so much time back each evening. It was life changing.

> same amount of soap exposure, and time at the sink, to wash dishes by hand.

What are you doing with your dishwasher that requires any soap exposure? With ours there is none. Scrape the dish into the bin/compost, stick it in the dishwasher. Every once in a while something will require a cursory rince with cold water before just to dislodge any stubborn food bits, but most of the time no prep is required.
Used to have a top of the line unit. These look very pretty, but they do a really shit job washing the dishes. Replaced with a Miele unit, was a bit harder to integrate nicely but now the dishes come out clean without having to handwash them first.

> there are many proper economic analyses that show that native-born workers benefit from immigration

I actually read through two of the "proper economic analyses" in that reddit link since I am interested in this.

One of them wasn't an economic analysis but a summary article: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/research/contributions-high-.... Almost all of this article is talking about all of the problems with trying to identify the net effects of immigration and how difficult it is.

It has quotes that directly refute what you are saying such as:

"Immigration has complex, sometimes ambiguous impacts on natives. The benefits to the US economy from high-skilled immigration can be accompanied by negative effects for certain groups of natives and positive effects for other groups." Which is the opening summary of the section on effect on natives. Also,

"Borjas found that a 10 percent increase of immigrants with PhDs in a certain field lowered the wages of native born graduating with doctorates in those same fields around the same time by 3 percent"

"Researchers have also examined the degree to which high inflows of foreign-born students affect the educational opportunities of native students. Borjas finds some evidence that an inflow of foreign-born students displaces native, white male students in elite institutions"

The other main article https://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/cacounts/CC_207GPCC.pdf is more positive but there is no way you can call it a rosey picture.

Clearly, the biggest effect of immigration is on previous immigrants (currently 30% of California): "Foreign-born workers already here sustain the largest losses in real wages, losing between 17 and 20 percent of their real wage over 14 years."

It just so happens that natives (specifically who are college educated) tend to have complimentary skill sets in the years mentioned.

"Except for workers with some college education, whose real wage gain is around 6 to 7 percent, no other group experiences real wage gains or losses larger than 4 percent. This implies that even with the moderate costs of moving, in the range of 5 to 10 percent of their yearly income, native workers would not move (out of or into California) in response to immigration."

That is the support you have that "native-born workers benefit from immigration". It helped college educated natives and the rest of the population wasn't negatively affected enough to leave California. And that's based on migration data ending in 2004 and Californians have been leaving in record droves since then.

Of course, it doesn't mention any thing about the rest of the effect on natives such as cost of living increases due to crowding, strain on institutions (do you want to send your kids to an average California school?), unwanted changes in culture and politics, decrease in social cohesion, decreases (or lack of improvement) in working conditions, increases in inequality or any of the other consequences.

The average US male wage has barely moved since the 1970s during a time of unprecedented levels of immigration. If immigration is such a net benefit to native-born worker, where did those improvements go?
> Is that possible with non-VM hypervisors on commodity hardware? Or is it another idea we've lost?

It's possible. For example, I run ESXi on top of VMware Workstation.

There can be caveats and limitations. For example, Hyper-V cannot be nested on AMD CPUs, although I believe MS is working on this. This creates problems for running things like WSL2 inside a VM.
> Add to that the sheer incompetence of the USB committee

In contrast to the sheer idiocy of demanding a "pocket change" fee of $1 per port, which made FireWire an instant turnoff for most device makers not targeting Western markets, and singlehandedly killed FireWire as a standard.

FireWire was possibly better engineered, but USB was better marketed.

I also used keybr extensively for some time while switching to an ergonomic layout and I have two additions to that:

- The layout is much more bearable when using ublock to remove about 60% of the site, makes it much cleaner and more enjoyable to use

- In my native language that I used for training, german, the site would frequently generate words that exist but are just spelt wrong or just stop before the last character, ruining my stats because my brain is auto-completing and auto-correcting what I'm reading so I have to go back and correct my writing to something wrong. This gets very annoying very quickly. I switched back to english after a week because that works much better and I'd recommend others to do the same.

Wikipedia seems to state no OS has managed to do so (as of 2019). Thunderbolt had been around since 2011.

So it couldn't possibly be made secure before 2015 and still wont be secure until $UNIVERSE_HEATDEATHDATE .

Except not only the rich can win. My longtime barber is a Vietnamese guy who speaks very broken English. When I go and get a haircut his son was often in the store studying. My barber would tell him a math problem, like 257 times 191 or whatever, then the kid would produce the answer, then my barber would interrupt my haircut to whip out a calculator and check.

Kid got a full scholarship to Duke University. And I’ve seen this in other Asian immigrants as well, a cab driver in NYC whose daughter was at Cornell Medical School.

It's not just software engineers...

Product managers are making 80-100% of what a software engineer makes. So 150-200k even at startups, and upwards from there at FANG.

Graphic designers are making 70-100%.

Even roles like "Human Resources Manager" are making 150k, because they're automatically "management", even though it's just a Bachelor's degree in Business and not a highly competitive role.

"Business analysts" (Excel and specialty tool power users) are making 100k+. No hard STEM degree or brutal interviews required.

However, it really is just in a handful of major US tech hubs that the pay is this high in tech. Outside the major tech hubs the high paying professions are the traditional ones... doctor, dentist, lawyer, etc.
> The problem is that there are many things you can't wash in the dishwasher

I have had a dishwasher for years. I either don't buy stuff you can't wash in the dishwasher, or wash it in the dishwasher anyway because I have better things to do than pamper some random crockery.

Except my chefs knives which never get put in there, but they are the exception.

> you have to pre-rinse some things

For me (and we cook every meal) it's the minority. It's a rarity that we ever pre-rinse.

If I lived alone it might feel differently about having a dishwasher, but it was life changing when we got one after our second child was born. However, I wouldn't not get one for the reasons you listed.
