I think there's a lot of companies scared to roll out application processors instead of microcontrollers. I wonder what your thoughts are on if it can save development time due to Linux dev environment Vs baremetal.

Obviously lots of applications it would be impossible to use a 264 bga but I've been there with projects with 3 CAN buses and Ethernet plus flash memory and thought maybe we should be using a cortex A7.

I'm sure you know but file storage on microcontrollers can drive you insane ha ha and the same with graphics+TCP IP
The LyX folks would say it's a WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean). Great tool. I wrote my dissertation and several papers on it, and it was a huge time saver, and a great way to focus on the content, not the form.

From the article:

> Cracking the knuckles is probably harmless. Although there have been occasional reports of dislocations or tendon injuries from overly vigorous knuckle cracking, such problems seem very much to be the exception and not the rule.

I'd guess that "overly vigorous knuckle cracking" manifests as a symptom in people with underlying mental health conditions.
I wouldn’t even put it in the pedestal of psychological manipulation. It’s gossip, the same as teen magazines and tabloids. They just dress it up with authority.

The ratio of the dimensions of the base of the Egyptian pyramids to their height includes pi as a factor. I once saw a TV show that concluded that since there's no evidence the Egyptians knew what pi was, space aliens must have been involved in their construction.

Later, some wag pointed out that if one uses a measuring wheel one cubit in diameter to lay out the base as a number of revolutions, then made the height as an integral number of cubits, you unwittingly wind up with pi in the ratio.
Something that comes up every time I hear a discussion about this: Just cracking your knuckles is different from actually overextending your knuckles. The latter is definitely harmful.

You can also just not use social media.

No one forces you to use Facebook. I respect the right of Facebook to not want to be over ran with hate speech.

It's a nominal task to spin up a fresh server everytime you get banned. The only effective way to stop said spam would be for FB to have a limited white list of vetted partners. So your back where you started .
There is a point where preventing people to write code is improving (future) productivity and maintenance.

I recall working in a large bank that enforced linting and testing on the whole codebase (monorepo with extensive CI). It's annoying at times but if it were not mandatory nobody would never write any test.

Stopping developers/interns/newcomers from adding thousands of lines of random untested code the very first minute they come in (code that would have to be maintained for the next decade by the next people) is a productivity gain for the company.

Besides, a good amount of (pet) projects have little or negative value, it's better if they don't exist in the first place.

Well this brings back memories!

I used LyX for all my work at university (over 20 years ago) and I vividly remember the difference in experience compared with my girlfriend at the time who used Word for all her work. LyX was such a stress-free experience in comparison, you could simply sit down and write, knowing that it would almost certainly look good at the end. In comparison, my gf would spend stressful hours battling to keep graphs in the righ place, sections structured properly, and references all managed correctly.

It warms my heart to know that LyX is still going all these years later, even though I have no need of it nowadays.

Coffee-shop coffees these days are dark-roasted (i.e. bitter) espresso for adding flavour to an otherwise milky (or your milk alternative) sugary hot or cold concoction.

Filter coffee made from a lightly roasted regional with fruity / tea-like characteristics is a world apart from a watered down Espresso. And really all you need is some filter paper and a pour-over filter holder, if you order your coffee pre-ground.
Thank you for the link, I hadn't listened this in a long time
Interesting. I've used this same file for a test on:

- I7-7920HQ, MacOS
Rust version: 90ms (rustc 1.47.0 (18bf6b4f0 2020-10-07))
C++ version: 340ms (Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.2))

- Xeon(R) Gold 6130 (skylake, Ubuntu 20.04)
Rust: 76ms (rustc-1.47.0)
C++: 60ms (gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2)), -O3, no PGO

Seems quite CPU and compiler-dependent. Odd that the results on MacOS were so horrible for C++.

And thanks - I've updated the post to include this more-reproducible benchmark, and included both macOS and linux results.

One note: I modified the single threaded one to use walkdir, but that shouldn't affect time in a major way. The macos timings were about the same.

And yes, I agree about the top N part. I deliberately tried to remain "algorithm-compatible" with the C++ example; there are lots of tricks to use to speed this up more. Getting rid of the line-at-a-time processing would be a good start, for example - it results in an unnecessary double-scan of the input.
> that's fine, the truth is the truth, but not 10 days before an election it isn't.

Why not? It's like watching a romantic movie, when a good guy crashes a wedding of a loved one in a last minute, and instead of "speak now or forever hold your peace" tell him "but not in 10 days before the wedding!"

I'm hearing way too much news about the Federal Reserve Bank recently. Why does absolutely everything seem to be somehow related to the Fed these days?
I've used both, and I prefer TeXmacs. Despite what the name might apply, TeXmacs is not built on top of TeX. This is a good thing. It's much less bloated (60 MB vs several GB), and compilations seem much faster. Highly extensible/programmable with GNU Guile (hoping they'll transition to Guile 3 train soon) + plugins. UI is better than 95% of FOSS apps.

LyX requires a LaTeX (or LuaTeX/XeTeX) installation, and comes with its lot of pros and cons. Access to massive universe of *TeX packages. LyX seems more widely used.
It's amazing what you can achieve with psychedelics laying around, and no Internet or TV available.
Absolutely. I’ve learned a tonne of things I never knew where interesting. Knowledgeable guests and a wide range of topics. It’s rare that I retain as much information as with this podcast.

Your post seems to assume networking with internet connection is required by the user. Not necessarily the case.

If a company buys a red team test, a Windows XP machine without networking has a different threat model than one with.

Also, Wine on Linux might be better option if its just one incompatible application (with or without networking).

In short I would say both (or rather, all three) have their place.
Just listened to it last night. What an extraordinary man.
While the people at my new job are very nice, I've not yet observed this phenomenon that you speak of. :-)
TeXmacs is not built on top of TeX. It is closer to a Lisp.
Chrome is the Internet Explorer of this decade. I’m old enough to remember when some developers defended IE when it was hot trash. There’s just no excuse for using it.
Not to be too nosy but I’ve noticed that tends to happen if you don’t have a very healthy or balanced diet. Since I’ve started eating better and making sure I’m getting enough greens and fiber it’s rarely been an issue, unless I have a few too many drinks.

>95% of the deaths in Sweden are from people over 60 years old. Our mistake was to let the virus into our elderly homes. I don't really see the evidence that we should have had lockdowns. As OP says the are a lot of precautions set in place already and even more earlier in the pandemic. Most worked from home and followed safety precautions given.

That said I am open to changing my mind and think it is good that the authorities are stressing more precautions again. People have been getting a bit careless again and infection rate is increasing. It hasn't resulted in rise in death yet but we have to be vigilant.
Knuckle cracking can become a bit of an addiction, especially so in some circumstances. At some point I had grown an habit to crack my neck too, among other body parts, until I almost felt it "snap" once, with a numbing sensation following, and have never ever tried or attempted to do so again except the one off stressful moment without realizing it. It may be "harmless", but as with every other thing it can definitely grow to be a threat to one's health.
this is the "rigor" of the "larger study" of 28 was studied this way... :- "Twenty-eight patients (residents of a Jewish
home for the aged) who were able to recall
whether or not they cracked knuckles (and in the
case of a positive response were able to demonstrate a KC maneuver) were examined clinically
and by x-ray. "
That's a design difference from C++ then, however even if the file is deleted the delete on Windows doesn't persist for existing open handles until the file is closed.

I don't think current law and understanding of same allows any major changes to how we treat platforms. I tend to think that any major changes in the law are liable to be for the worse because even well meaning law makers seem to possess a mostly incompetent perspective on tech.
When reading novels, I usually find myself skipping the portions that setup the atmosphere or looks of characters. I feel like a lot of it is forced. The latest book I read was Gideon the Ninth, and I found myself doing that quite a bit. I am more interested in the story and interaction between characters. Of course a bit of setting is indisposible such as where, when, rules of the universe, tech, etc. but a lot of the minute details I find don't matter.

If I were to write a novel, I would probably find it really mundane to flesh things out this way and perhaps GPT would be an ideal companion to fill in the details of the sketch while I focused on the main plot and interactions. Or maybe I would aim for readers who wouldn't mind reading a novel without all the fluff.
You seem to badly misunderstand what "data engineer" means. IME the role is basically infrastructure up to custom ETL jobs. It is a specialized strain of software engineering.

After doing about a month of research (The Mattress Underground is a good forum) I bought a latex mattress from SleepEZ. Had it for a couple of years and been very happy with it.

One consideration to keep in mind is that if you sleep in the middle of your bed you won't want to get the split layers. They make assembly easier and allow for more granular customization, but a friend of mine who got the same mattress feels the crack between them where the layers separate slightly.

It doesn't sound like you tried it? If so, I would suggest you give mastodon a try.

The way how I think about this is that there is a free and open market of communities and community rules. You can choose the one that resonates the most with you.

E.g. if you are in any way into Open Source, you could check out https://fosstodon.org/public to get a feel for the conversations that happen there.
Oh, it seems it has received the hug of death.

I have do say I was always fascinated by the idea of Lyx, but ended up using Emacs + AUCTex (I think?) for authoring my papers... but it was a different time and LyX was perhaps a bit to late to arrive for me gain any use from it. I think I was about done with my studies when I became aware of it, at least.

Great to see others posting positive experiences about working with it because it "sounded" about right for authoring and yet not having to fiddle excessively with details and/or formatting issues.

>it is not well reasoned discussion with a diverse representation of viewpoints that keeps people glued to their devices

This sounds like Hacker News. Every platform has (or: develops) it's target audience and we also can't blame the companies behind, that they are "for profit". Ads are lucrative and relatively fair (even beneficial - e.g. small businesses can make aware of their offerings... others have pointed this out before). Over time things consolidate by themselves: "We" hang out on hacker news and other likely more proper offerings. It's sad to see people "logging into facebook" and dragging down the discussion or just being offensive because of stupidity. But you can't fix that. The discussion itself and about it (discussions about discussions - meta discussions) is important to make sure "things get exposed". Things consolidate with time, e.g. you might look back on your last 10 years, and there are countless communities, where I left a last angry comment and then left. I am sure those communities are just small and irrelevant echo chambers, shrinking, because even their loudest advocates get tired and realize over time, that something is wrong, subconsciously. While others stay, though I have the feeling that there are a lot of big and relevant communities, that I still follow, and which are growing, which gives me hope, that we are heading in the right direction.
I live in the suburbs. My fence is broken in place, and my yard is not enclosed.

First, cats used a sand pit I built for my kids as a toilet. So I covered it with a tarp.

Then a racoons family used the tarp as a toilet.

I believe the common sense solution is to protect the vulnerable and elderly, yet I’ve been in complete lockdown for over 6 months. Lockdowns were never the solution to pandemics prior, so why now?

People don’t wear masks correctly at all, they don’t wash it, they don’t pull it down and fiddle with it every other minute. There has been no attempt at public education around this where I live. Old age homes have been severely understaffed, provided with no PPE, have allowed visitors, and their staff have not been continually tested. Over 80% of the deaths in my state have came from these homes alone

Before taking away almost all of a person’s fundamental rights you have to at least try these less restrictive measures. People have been arrested in their home when they’ve made a fb post about protesting the restrictions. The worst part, there is no lack of people supporting these measures. Only recently has it become politically unpopular
