Holy Crapoly. The system starts out at just under $8k, and can upscale the components to over $45k, with a lot of flexibility along the way (especially with storage).

There aren't any options for a different power supply, so it seems the standard one is intended to be adequate no matter how you configure or upgrade the system, which is reasonable, considering it's 1600W (although I have a feeling that running this and turning on the microwave at the same time would pop a circuit-breaker)

It looks like the CPU is in the cube shaped housing above the GPUs (that's where the big duct leads). Presumably that housing opens as well to give you access to the MB and let you swap out memory.

That leaves the flatter box at the bottom to be the power supply, which agrees with the placement of the main power switch. But the PS itself doesn't seem to have any provision for airflow, which I find a bit strange. I doubt the intent is for the PS to cook the GPU that's sitting right above it, so I must be missing something (perhaps the PS vents out the bottom?), or the renders aren't entirely accurate.

Anyway, my head scratching aside, a very impressive and sleek design with a seriously ergonomic interior.

One thing that I am sure of is that System76 gives very good value for money, and excellent support. The laptops I've bought from them have all held up to many years of constant use, and the support I got from them along the way when there was a problem of any sort was top notch (eg. when I needed a replacement power supply and the laptop was out of warranty, they helped me find a compatible replacement on Amazon rather than insist I get theirs at full price).

I really wish I could afford one of these, since even at the basic config they are truly drool-worthy.

A small, flat-bottom, glass-wall kettle. That way people who always fill the thing completely aren't being as grossly wasteful as they might be. The glass wall helps other types see exactly how much water they need. The flat bottom means you can boil one small cup of water if that's what you need.

Apply Occam's Razor.

Why would the most successful company in history—a success gained in no small part through protecting users, selling hardware and services instead of their data, and promoting and enhancing privacy as a first-class feature—do that sort of thing? What possible benefit could such a centralized database serve? How's that gonna make them more money?
Usually the candidate pipeline is:

1. External recruiter shotguns out candidates to my team manager. Having been on the other side of this process myself, any vetting the external recruiter does is pretty minimal and purely behavioral.

2. Our manager passes around resumes to the team, and we collectively review them and give a thumbs up or down based on how subjectively we are impressed by it.

3. Manager assigns the more senior members of the team to conduct phone screens. Typically we throw some of the easiest of the easiest leetcode questions, or very simple "implement this in JS" questions. I personally have failed people at this stage mostly for communication or behavioral issues.

4. On-site. Combination of easy leetcode questions and "implement this in JS" questions. I can honestly, proudly, say that my team does not look for hyperoptimal perfect leetcode solutions - we genuinely focus on the communication process more. Part of the reason for this is, as I mentioned before, most of the candidates we get would struggle at all but the easiest leetcode questions and we cannot afford to be picky. We're not a hot tech company. We're a boring investment bank.

Very, very rarely we get a candidate that has worked at a hot tech company - even a FAANG occasionally. Their candidacy gets treated like a celebrity. But so far all such candidates have been turned down by my manager's manager because "they don't have enough business (finance/trading) knowledge". Never mind that most of our current team has extremely little to no such business knowledge too. In any case I doubt we could match the level of compensation they might be wanting.

Cause all my services bind to a private IP on the inside. I don't see the real IP that it is receiving traffic on.

Also, if I have multiple IP's with EIP's attached so I can host multiple services (with unique IP's) I have to write automation to make sure I bind the service to the right internal private IP for the appropriate external IP address. It'd be much better if the IP address were routed directly to my EC2 instance.

Working from home was ugly until I bought a 4k monitor with a pair of smaller ones to go each side. I initially thought I could get by with the 2.5k monitor and a single secondary one but ... yeah, nah. 4k is surprisingly easier to read, and having two secondary monitors surprisingly useful. It means I can have all the distractions on one side (messaging, email, other messaging... why are there so many messaging apps?), the main monitor for the primary task, and the other secondary for reference. I still swap documents/tabs a lot, but having the main reference always right there makes it much easier.

Often that's the design document, with the IDE occupying the whole 4k monitor. Two code windows + helper windows, it's not just 500 character lines :)
They are basically movies broken up into 10 pieces. Which are fun to watch. They are more casual than watching a real movie. They wouldn't cut it as a movie, so are cheaper to make.

But how do you get enough content?

Our attention spans are shot, but at the same time we are a binge society. You easily blow one season on a week night (125 min total). They seem to only have half the equation.

[edit] The phone flipping gimmick (If you flip the phone the aspect and sometimes the filming camera changes) is also the whole, why no one want to watch a VR movie. We watch movies to relax not to have to make choices and move body bits.

A more precise phrasing of the sense intended by the article would be that reliance on discipline doesn't scale. Encourage discipline, supply it as you're able, but recognize that when the concern is important it probably calls for additional measures.
It’s the stuff you 60-80% believe but you don’t want to put your name on it because once you do people assume you believe it 99% or more. That’s unfortunately how publishing it works.
1. It's not too hard to page align a buffer. If you malloc a big buffer, almost certainly page aligned anyway. So requires very little effort. 2. You can try the same with mmap, but large files won't fit in (32 bit) memory, and read() is cheaper than mapping and unmapping as you go.
Software Is Not a Wheel
I think it's also important to remember that these things we sometimes consider character traits can be quite situational:

In the absence of deadlines or other external pressure, I sometimes write beautiful, uselessly incomplete code. With mild deadline pressure, I do all right. In a toxic, death march environment, I can see how teamwork and inquisitiveness might drain away and someone would write the terrible code you just described.

(See also: fundamental attribution error. I wrote the bad code because of the death march. He wrote the bad code because he's intellectually lazy.)
Some places are banning that full wall of 2" lexan, saying that it is discriminatory. My fading memory recalls that it was Chicago or Detroit, or somewhere vaguely near there, but it sounds like the kind of thing that San Francisco would do.
This is a smart way to handle it rather than making hate speech a crime. I don't mean this on a 1st amendment or pro/anti PC grounds, I simply mean that enabling a civil process takes it out of the criminal domain, speeding up the process and being more likely to address the real problem.

I collided into a similar shortcoming with search. I wound up creating an ElasticSearch instance, which has so far worked great, but was an incredible hassle compared to a traditional CMS+frontend like WordPress.

Were I to require comments, I would probably pursue a similar solution — a minimal cloud server with a bare bones comments API. Is this not the obvious solution? But as a newbie to JAMstack, I was definitely stunned to learn that headless CMS providers like Contentful and Sanity do not appear to provide services like this. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Plug: I wrote a small clojurescript wrapper around firebase. You can try it out here. -> https://firemore.org/

I haven't found another solution that can get you started as quickly as Firebase can. Most common complaint I hear from developers about Firebase is the concern that Google will drop support at some point. I can't fault that concern, but Google seems to drop developer products at a much lower rate than customer products.
>but I do occasionally still hear people telling less-experienced developers that they should learn C to learn more about how their computer works. Your computer is not a fast PDP-11, all you will learn is how the C virtual machine works.

Yes, this is wrong in that sense, but by learning C you learn how C works, and therefore how your computing systems, which are going to be C at some level because we live in Unix's world, work.

My organisation pays many $k in "software support". Having been in the open source world where we get along perfectly fine with no support whatsoever, that was a surprise. I am perfectly capable of supporting software myself.

It turns out things are structured in commercial land so you really can't do that. All the usual remedies available to me, like source code, self describing config files, open data formats aren't there. What help the vendor is willing to offer is locked up behind paywalls you can only get past without paying yearly support.

Having run a commercial software company myself, this isn't a surprise. You have to have a continuous, reliable revenue stream to pay those continuous, ever reliable wage bills. If you are making a few large sales a year those sales don't cut it, so you engineer things so you get a regular income from software. One way to do that is to ensure customers regularly run into things that can't do themselves.

A very good example of was in the time before office365 subscriptions. Microsoft arranged to get a stead income by deliberately breaking the on disk format of Office files every year, so the old copies of office could not read files produced by the new version. They would then seed the market by handing out free or very cheap copies of the new version of Office to students, so companies would start getting documents the could not open until they upgraded.

Not providing features only used once in a year, or making them unreliable or difficult to use are other ways of doing the same thing. It's all very ugly, but by its nature software lives forever once you get it right, so I don't know how commercial programming teams would have survived without either subscriptions or pulling some stunt like that.

I realize you like it but think about what we're talking about here: someone has a room full of students who have not been trained as programmers and they're working on a particular experiment, not taking a class on software development. Most of them have probably used Excel/Numbers before and if not the basic idea, especially given a template, is pretty easy to explain so you can get them up in running quickly and get back to the actual problem you're working on.

Now contrast that with how much stuff you need to learn to be proficient with any programming language — and no matter how much you think your favorite one is a friendly unicorn, teaching a room full of beginners will be eye-opening for the things they get stuck on. Which editor to use? How to install it? Are you saying “$LANG” but actually using that as a shorthand for “$LANG, Git and shell tools, and the conventions for using which are common in my specialty”? How much time does it take to learn the basics of the language, how to interpret error messages, and debug things?

None of that is insurmountable, of course, but the difference in learning curves is why many people end up with the Excel file which started in a hurry and is now Frankenstein's workbook which everyone is afraid to touch or share. Over a sufficient time interval, it'd be much easier to pick any decent toolchain because maintaining that level of complexity in almost any major programming language is going to be less work but unless you're starting with experienced developers the short term answer will probably favor Excel. I've seen people who've been meaning to get around to rewriting it long enough that the target language has shifted as things fall in and out of favor.

If both loads were on the same phase that would be a violation of the US NEC (NFPA 70) because use the load would be 40 amps..... And guessing we are taking 12awg, way over allowed current.

In hindsight I did not specify circut ampacity, or wire gauge. Still the question stands, how much current would you read at the panel on the neutral with those two loads on the line :-)

(In my example you have two phases 120 degrees apart. Think US Residential split phase. The actual result is pretty awesome. It's a common test problem for new electricians.)

I won't spoil the result because it's too cool when you get it.
Regulations (I'm familiar with HIPAA/SOX/PCI) do not require specific technical implementations like this. These are just things that have been negotiated between IT and their auditor. Saying shitty IT policies are due to "regulation" is almost always a cop-out.
OTOH, $2M is a sneeze for large corporations. I totally understand why they want to push community funding, but I wonder if they're open to having corporate sponsors or something along those lines. The idea would be "yes, you pay the bill, but you don't get to push an agenda with this".
I don't think that drug stores have an insurance policy that covers shoplifting. Who would offer such a policy if they knew there were going to lose money? Or if such a policy was offered, wouldn't the rates be greater than the losses? I guess I don't know for sure, maybe there is some sort of a corporate reimbursement. Are you guessing, or do you know more?
Yup - seems that's the way it works in finance. External recruiter sends my resume to a firm, internal recruiter then does a casual chat with me, and assuming I don't throw any red flags, I proceed to the coding phone screen.

Multiple external recruiters have attempted to submit me to Citadel and Two Sigma over the course of the past five years. I always tell the recruiter I've never heard back from them in the past, but they're always confident that they can vouch for me and get me an interview. Of course, I never hear back and the recruiter is puzzled.
I’m not sure I understand. Someone is unemployed, applies, interviews just a whisker under our normal bar, and if I offer them a job, I’m the bad guy in this story?

> it was designed to be a solution to one thing and do it well

What is that thing? It seems like the best application of blockchain is as a semi-decentralized, semi-anonymous token for transferring value.

But it's not even really good at that. It's not liquid, it's prone to bugs and attacks, and it doesn't even seem to be that anonymous.

So I'd personally argue it was designed to be a solution to one thing, and it does not do that well.

> Scammers seized the oportunity to market blockchain as a solution to all your problems to profit themselves and a lot of people were fooled.

So anyone who advocates blockchain for something other than cryptocurrency is a scammer?

That seems a little farfetched. There are plenty of "true believers" who have completely bought into the blockchain-for-everything nonsense, and they're now using "DeFi" to rebrand because blockchain has become such an embarrassing buzzword.
This discounts the massive cost of switching to HTTP/3 . Plus, increases in internet speed would negate all the gains within a few years.

The massive switching cost of IPv6 has slowed deployment for a decade. Since it's so expensive to switch to HTTP/3, it only benefits large companies like Google. To smaller companies it's a cost.

Only 33% of the web is using HTTP/2, which came out 6 years ago. Any big gains we're talking about are many years in the future when internet speed will be maybe double what it is now. The slow adoption of HTTP/2 relative to its great benefits compared to HTTP/3 shows you how bad adoption will be.

Since 3 is single digits percent better than two, I bet adoption won't cross 20% for almost ten years. It's only going to be the FAANG'S of the world that think such as small increase in performance is worth the switching cost.

So that was kinda a rant but I don't think throwing out big numbers because so many people use the web is a strong argument. Users aren't the ones paying a large cost for a small performance increase

`"Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family is that we would also be partners inn [sic] the equity and profits of the JV’s [joint venture’s] investments."`

`The documents obtained by The Post also include an “Attorney Engagement Letter” executed in September 2017 in which one of Ye’s top lieutenants, former Hong Kong government official Chi Ping Patrick Ho, agreed to pay Biden a $1 million retainer for “Counsel to matters related to US law and advice pertaining to the hiring and legal analysis of any US Law Firm or Lawyer.`
