As an ErgoDox EZ user, your resource looks well made!

Have you considered contributing a testimonial on ErgoDox people [0]? There are some great write ups.

Also have you considered buying ZSA’s new Moonlander keyboard? Despite using an ErgoDox EZ for more than a year now, I feel the outermost keys on the keyboard are still uncomfortable for the pinky fingers and the overall thickness of the latter makes for a slightly unnecessarily raised wrist position which the Moonlander solves with its smaller outermost keys and thinness respectively. The angle adjustable thumb cluster also seems more ergonomic.
One thing to note though from your current layout is that the Moonlander has four fewer keys, so one has to plan their key map afresh accordingly!

A different perspective is that Python leadership has been overwhelmed addressing the concerns of the enormous and growing Python community, for whom generally performance is not yet the primary concern - believe it or not. It's probably fair to suggest PSF has stumbled in executing some of their goals, most notably and publicly the transition to v3, but overall it seems like the general Python community is most interested in language and ecosystem features, while performance-critical workloads are already being addressed in a number of projects (not just PyPy, but Numba, Cython, and others).

Data science may be at the heart of Python's strengths, but it's simply not accurate to suggest Python (whoever that is!) is resting on its laurels, as evidenced by the very active, albeit sprawling, package ecosystem. And while the CPython devs seem to have found their stride in 3.x releases.

It's also inaccurate to suggest numeric computing in Python has a "low performance ceiling," considering you can get near-C performance via JIT or AOT using a package like Numba, and in most cases it's not even necessary because of Numpy and the many other highly optimized compute packages that can do most of the heavy lifting.

I think the main draw of Python is not just that the syntax and language features are approachable, but that the package ecosystem is so broad and active, you are likely to make lighter work of the same job done in another language. I think to displace Python you would have to displace the package ecosystem, which seems as big and broad as it's ever been.

I don't think it's possible for this sort of individual, opt-in action to be material to the climate problem; problems at this scale can only be solved by government action. If Stripe raises $30M/year from this program, it'd be like 10000x too little to be significant to our carbon problem. (Maybe it could have some minor R&D acceleration impact for the carbon removal techniques they're looking at).

The root cause of our climate problem is the fossil fuel industry having successfully manipulated the government and public to prevent real action on climate change, for decades. The Drilled podcast is a good resource for primary source material on how oil companies systematically manufactured climate change denial.

I would prefer that Stripe allocate the funds to groups working to counter the fossil fuel industry's misinformation strategy. $30M/year would be a significant budget for that sort of work.
This seems a common pattern with Microsoft, I've seen the same with changes to Printer Drivers.

The under armour website is terrible with coupon codes. Some of the time, it does not work and you get a cryptic error and have to wait on hold to even chat with a customer service rep to decode the message for you and tell you what you need to add/remove from your cart to make it go through. Worst of all, these are not random codes I picked up off some deal site, these are codes they emailed to me directly.

It's absolutely awful from a customer experience standpoint. But, I believe I end up buying more from them because when it does work I feel like I need to buy everything I've been thinking about because I don't want to deal with that hassle again anytime soon.

If this is the same sort of thing that was happening on your site, this would only work if your product is not available elsewhere for a similar or better price. In the case of under armour, their products are available elsewhere, but not in the same variety and not with the same discounts.

This as with every other piece of information that goes against the narrative of Biden being pure will be shutdown.

The reality of it is, China has a deep hold on businesses and people with the US and will continue to exert their power overtly. The amount of businesses with non substantial ownership and investment by China is crazy. China is not our friend, they are a relationship of necessity, which is how they view us.

Fortunately some companies and countries recognize this and are slowly adapting to it.
Yeah, I have a hard time sympathizing with this. Windows drivers have become so much more stable since WHQL/HLK compliance became a thing.

We need source for that GTK+ example used to imply GTK+ is broken on Wayland.

It could very well be PEBKAC, client-side decorations make being coordinate system aware much more important. If your code assumes everything's in drawable coordinates, it'll work in a top-level window on X11, but may break when Wayland w/CSD shifts things.

That slide is potentially quite damaging to GTK+'s reputation, to not even provide a way for us to independently verify the results is frustrating.
This is excellent. FWIW I bought and read "C++ Crash Course" by Lospinso. I found that tremendously helpful with his approach of "assuming you really know C [I do], here is C++" and can easily recommend his book for anyone on this path.

That said, I like your ordering too.

The other confounding factor is that I have also written a lot of Java code (both during the development of the language and afterward for my column in Javaworld) which I really enjoyed, but it too "fixes" some things which James disliked about C++ (and as a long time C programmer I understood quite well).

As a learning experience, this journey has been confounding, enlightening, and painful in equal measures :-)

I love this. I've wanted this to exist for years but never did anything with it, so I'm thrilled you have. Can you say more about the marketplace of interviewers? How do you recruit them? How are they vetted? How does matching work?
Never trust an engineer who says they don't need to write tests. It's somewhat of a dream for many engineers to be heads down working alone on deep technical problems but while coding may be solo endeavor, _code maintenance_ is a team sport. It's never good to let someone go it alone for too long.

Side note: It's much simpler to say "they/them" when referring to someone rather than "he/she", "s:he", and "his/her".
What if D is "always-use-utf8"? Or, in general, the option being requested is something that places much more stringent restrictions on semantics.

There are two main reasons that users might validly use unknown options. The first is that it's an option with valid semantics in different versions/implementations of the protocol. The other is that you're reusing an option block for many API calls, and some of the options may not be relevant for some of those APIs. For the first use case, erroring out (or at least warning) is usually the superior solution: you don't know what it means, so you can't guarantee that you'll implement it correctly. For the latter use case, ignoring can be a safe solution.

FWIW, there's been a pushback against Postel's Law (which is what the adage you cite is usually called) in more recent times. In particular, it should be emphasized that the law is generally most applicable when you're dealing with multiple interpretations of an ambiguous specification, and is least applicable when the standards are prescribing or proscribing particular behavior.

At the start of my career (have been almost entirely in legacy NYC investment bank/hedge fund tech), I thought it would be beneficial to rack up business domain knowledge.

After a while, I arrived at the conclusion that it wasn't. I could try to get enough business domain knowledge to put up an act like I was a mediocre junior trader or banker, or I could better spend that time to improve myself learning tech (and studying for interviews for that matter).

Plus if I were to leave the finance industry (which I'm desperately trying to do), none of that business domain knowledge would be portable, whereas most of my technical knowledge would be.

Just my two cents, but then again, I'm not looking at freelancing.
Does this involve uploading your potentially private PDF file? If so, do people really feel comfortable doing that?

If so, this reminds me of free internet fax services where you upload documents you want to fax to their servers, and they make a local call to fax them to their destinations. Most of what I have to fax these days is to doctors and lawyers. Why on earth would I want to upload such sensitive data to some businesses servers where they can do god knows what with it?

And yet we're not having an extended conversation about editorial control over "letters to the editor". Somehow, after years of gatekeeping of all kinds in media, deleting some 140 character headline level information is a crisis.

My guess is that there is a kind of entitlement at work here. The rise of social media was predated by lots of techno-optimism regarding what the internet would do for humanity. And the rise of social media itself was wreathed in a kind of "victory for democracy" zeitgeist that these companies often played into themselves.

But in reality, Twitter is a big corporate media business just like any other. And what's happening here is people are realizing the hard way that business is largely unaccountable.

Personally, I am not opposed to restructuring the relationship of the individual to big corporate businesses. But at the same time we have to be honest about the fact that this isn't really something all that special. And if we want do this kind of restructuring to social media, we should consider those changes within an entire landscape of companies that reap all kinds of benefit from society and externalize all kinds of costs onto it.
I wonder if Smart Memory is even using PCIe 4? Remember AMD uses the PCIe lanes for interconnect between two EPYC CPUs. It's supposedly very similar to PCIe but a bit higher speed.

Smart Memory could then be as efficient as cross-CPU EPYC memory access. Which is pretty good.
I don't think that "immersive experiences" are going to play huge part in our lives. The other side of "immersion" is escapism from the real world, which is the most complex RPG, so "immersion" would be rather likely to be absorbed by current economical mechanisms to deepen that escapism. Information access is so trivial even with current technologies, that it's not something that makes anybody high (as with everything: what makes one high is acceleration, not speed, so new technologies are charming at the beginning, than they are absorbed as habits).
Yes, Quadro was for non-gaming workloads. Titan meant a different thing with every new iteration. Some were explicitly "non-gaming card that you can play games on" other were "got tier gaming card".

RTX Titan for example was not as good in FP64 calculation compared to RTX Quadro. While first Titan was good at both. Nvidia kept changing what Titan means in order to extract most amount of money without hurting Quadro sales.

Even at its peak certain things were software limited for Titan, but not for Quadro. Nvidia has tons of artificial limitations for each of their graphics card once you go beyond gaming.

Last I checked (about a year ago) you could still run the upgrade tool, and it'd go through the licensing registration process just fine.

I wouldn't do that if it weren't a personal machine, however, because the "official" upgrade process ended a long time ago. Even using it for a home office might put you into questionable legal territory, but it's still possible.

I do think your last statement is more accurate, though. It really feels that they're subversively pushing as many people away from Win7/8 as possible by unofficially allowing upgrades through existing channels. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't find it especially nefarious.

I don't even use Windows (I have family that does). I'm a Linux user.
I haven't checked in a while if a patch has appeared, but it's probably no harder than cracking activation, which is already well done.

Once MS stops issuing updates, you don't have to worry about them reverting your changes.

How many people spend $500-800 on a GPU just to play indie games?

And in any case since Unreal and Unity are integrating DLSS and other "GameWorks RTX" features more and more games will be able to implement them with essentially just a toggle.

The graphical fidelity in indie games has increased dramatically mostly due to the fact that Unreal Engine became very indie friendly and Unity has really stepped up their game with what they offer out of the box.

Eye candy is now easy because the game engines have a lot of these effects and the materials required for them built-in and you also can quite easily get really high quality assets, particles and materials in the engine marketplace for very low cost.

5 years ago developing a water shader for physically accurate water rendering would probably take an indie dev months to do complete and probably could've gotten them a speaking spot at GDC, today it's a toggle switch in the UE4 level editor.

> You can still update compliant drivers

If your customers aren't willing to install unsigned drivers (and none of mine are), then the new driver will have to be put through the HLK tests and submitted to Msft for signing.

My issue isn't so much the testing/signing process, but that I've had an HCK test suite setup for the past 4 years that has worked just fine. It will have to be replaced w/an HLK test setup, the release engineer and I will have to learn a new process, and possibly get a new signing cert. It's not a trivial process, but one we can work through.

> the main "victims" of this will be shitty vendors with buggy drivers that lagged in supporting newer Windows variants

Some of us have to support customers who are running old versions of Windows, and sometimes we just need to add new features.

Think about what you're saying. There's no reason to denigrate vendors. Also, it's not always about bug fixes. A lot of us really care about the quality of our drivers and our customer's experience. It helps everyone stay in business.
There are certainly some real bugs in there, but saying there are 2.7k "bug reports" is a little disingenuous. These are "GitHub Issues", many of which are feature requests, and many more are new users trying out this free open source software for the first time. Many of these "bugs" are from users asking why their setup isn't working, and then failing to produce any kind of technical debug info when asked by the maintainers.
> because DLSS 2.0 is the big differentiator

Is it really, though? Consoles have been doing upscaling without it for years, and one has to assume they're still going to be innovating on that front on RDNA 2.0 with the new generation, too.

The DLSS 2.0 mode where it's used as a super-sampling replacement is kinda interesting, but realistically TXAA in most engines is also pretty solid. It seems like a fairly minor extra feature at the end of the day as a result... Cool, but not game changing at all.

EDIT: although AMD did make mention of something called "super resolution" as part of their fidelity fx suite which sounds like a DLSS competitor but there's no real details. And of course the actual image results here are far more important
> And embedded is usually dog slow processor running at minimum clock, to save power.

It used to be like this for a long time, but nowadays the market is moving towards stronger embedded CPUs, either just because they are affordable (raspberry pi), or the power is actually wanted for something (e.g. nvidia jetson for video processing and AI)
I thought it was R6.
I would encourage folks to look at Gitea.io. I run that on Kubernetes alongside Drone and it basically replicates all the most important parts of GitHub.
Meh. The point of crypto is to bypass the present rails of commerce. Not to add yet another layer and middleman / middleware to the mix that adds fees and overhead.
> I'd love to find a viable competitor to Python that's strictly better than it.

I strongly recommend Go as a better Python. Personally, I think it's easier to write than Python (although people who care very little about correctness will be bothered a bit by the type checker), and the tooling is many times better (single-binary deployments, great dependency management, etc are awesome). Also, the performance is about 100-1000 times better for serial execution, and Go's goroutines allow you to take advantage of multiple cores much more easily than with Python.

JavaScript and TypeScript are similarly easy-to-use, performant languages with a better-than-Python tooling story. I've also heard similar things about Elixir, Closure, and Kotlin.
This sounds very similar to what zscaler already does. Unless I’m missing something

SiriusXM truncates a "The" prefix from artist names (so "The Cure" and "The Who" become "Cure" and "Who"). I always wondered how it would display The The. Would it be "The The" (special case), "The" (default removal of "The"), or an empty string "" (in the unlikely case the algorithm recursively removed "The" prefixes)? Eventually they played a The The song and the answer is "The The".
There is no reason AMD wouldn't pull their own "Titan"-class GPU. A 6900XT with 32GB of HBM would destroy anything NVidia could muster.
Late 30s is most certainly not old.
RDNA2 seems to be based on the R&D AMD already done for Sony and Microsoft when designing new consoles. It brings largely the same architecture and feature set to the PC platform, with the exception of the proprietary storage technologies.
