You might want to try enabling jumbo frames by setting the MTU to something >1500 bytes. Doing so should reduce the number of IRQs per unit of time since each frame will be carrying more data and therefore there will be fewer of them.

According to the Intel 82580EB datasheet[1] it supports an MTU of "9.5KB." It's unclear if that means 9500 or 9728 bytes.

I looked briefly for a datasheet that includes the ethernet specs. of the Broadcom 2711 but didn't immediately find anything.

Recent versions of iproute2 can output the maximum MTU of an interface via:

# Look for "maxmtu" in the output
ip -d link list

Barring that you can try incrementally upping the MTU until you run in to errors.

The MTU of an interface can be set via:

ip link set $interface mtu $mtu

Note that for symmetrical testing via direct crossover you'll want to have the MTU be the same on each interface pair.

Again things I shouldn’t be using it for. I plotted latency/ping on a map When I was having pretty bad internet trouble in early Uni. I rendered some pixel-perfect shapes when building a stub website (At the time I didn’t know how to use Inkscape). I think at some point I visualised exponential mathematical algorithms too.

My initial project was to build a media center similar to Kodi. It was horrible, pseudo-objective, and built UI components from event and pixel blitting primitives. It was a year 12 project (in a ‘pick your project’ non IT class). It probably actually pushed me to complete year 12, and gave me a good foundational basis for IT at uni. I was a ‘troubled’ student who hated school, was bullied pretty bad, and hung out with people actively abusing drugs and alcohol. 15 years on am thankful I’m not a methhead, I’m sure that Kodi project had a part in saving me no matter how unstable and poorly written it was.

> From the POV of an external observer you never cross the event horizon

More precisely, the external observer never sees you cross the horizon. But he can still deduce that you did from other data. So the external observer does not say "you never cross the horizon", period. He just can't see it happen.
You make a new waterfront, the same way NYC has already done.

You can look at the map at https://www.thirteen.org/dutchny/interactives/interactive-ma... to see how much land was added. Most of lower Manhattan is built on what was ocean in 1609.

I looked up your statistics and the reason there is nobody calling it out is because, first, that's not the claim being made (the argument is that they earn far less than equivalently trained professions which is objectively true no matter how you dice it) and, second, teachers really are paid less on a per hour basis than the OECD average which makes your statistic super misleading. In fact, the gap in lifetime earnings compared with other countries gets even bigger when you account for their lower starting salaries as well as lower total compensation (including benefits). Ironically, this is a great example of the system working and not propagating partisan "alternative facts" like what you want.

It's all projection. You just can't imagine people adding reasonable context to contentious information because you know that if you were in that position that you would abuse it like with your misleading teacher claim. Nobody is out to get you and no you are not a victim of some sort of liberal conspiracy.

> There will always be an event horizon below them beyond which light cannot reach them

Wrong. See my other response upthread.

> they will always be able to observe the external universe

But the light coming to them from the external universe will be more and more redshifted, and they can calculate from the observed redshift when they have crossed the horizon.

Also, they will only see a limited portion of the future of the universe; anything that happens later than a fairly short time after they cross the horizon, they will never see, because they will hit the singularity inside the hole before light from such events can reach them.
I never said they did, or that they should focus on trustbuilding instead of aiming for accuracy.

I just pointed out that you were arguing with something other than what OP said.
To someone like me, who believes that the universe is, must be, fundamentally a computer, the actual academic paper is hardly any better. Whatever the paper is doing is not describing any kind of computational process. It's a mille-feuille of semi-rigorous mathematical abstraction that sounds far more like a kind of liturgical incantation than a description of the software our universe is running.

That's not to say it is definitely not useful! It could be that, for some bizarre reason, reading the mathematical tea leaves of our current incomplete (and incoherent) theories might well yield insight into post-quantum physics. I do doubt it though.

>SK transitioned to a kinda democracy around 2000? As a Korean I am deeply offended

Perhaps, but it's still true.

This was followed by 13 months of political instability as South Korea was led by a weak and ineffectual government. This instability was broken by the May 16, 1961, coup led by General Park Chung-hee. As president, Park oversaw a period of rapid export-led economic growth enforced by political repression. Park was heavily criticized as a ruthless military dictator, who in 1972 extended his rule by creating a new constitution, which gave the president sweeping (almost dictatorial) powers and permitted him to run for an unlimited number of six-year terms.

The years after Park's assassination were marked again by political turmoil, as the previously suppressed opposition leaders all campaigned to run for president in the sudden political void. In 1979, General Chun Doo-hwan led the Coup d'état of December Twelfth. Following the Coup d'état, Chun Doo-hwan planned to rise to power through several measures. On May 17, Chun Doo-hwan forced the Cabinet to expand martial law to the whole nation, which had previously not applied to the island of Jejudo. The expanded martial law closed universities, banned political activities, and further curtailed the press.

Chun and his government held South Korea under a despotic rule until 1987, when a Seoul National University student, Park Jong-chul, was tortured to death.[128] On June 10, the Catholic Priests Association for Justice revealed the incident, igniting the June Democracy Movement around the country.

South Korea was formally invited to become a member of the United Nations in 1991. The transition of Korea from autocracy to modern democracy was marked in 1997 by the election of Kim Dae-jung, who was sworn in as the eighth president of South Korea, on February 25, 1998. His election was significant given that he had in earlier years been a political prisoner sentenced to death (later commuted to exile).

That's just Wikipedia, mind you, not some bizarro source.

The citizens fought for democracy, but SK was not exactly a paragon of democracy until well into the late 20th century. And even then it has been problematic:

Putting aside the decades of brutal dictatorship that ended with Chun Doo-hwan stepping down in 1988, every South Korean presidency since has been rocked by corruption scandals. Roh Tae-woo collected $10 million per month in slush funds while in office, Kim Young-sam stunned the nation with his pay-for-play Hanbo scandal, Roh Moo-hyun jumped off a cliff while under investigation for bribery, Lee Myung-bak is serving 15 years for corruption, Park Geun-hye is serving 24 years and then there's President Moon Jae-in.

> There's also the REST verb

HTTP verbs. REST is a protocol-neutral architectural style (of which HTTP is an implementation), it doesn't have verbs.

> that is often super arbitrary. PUT vs POST vs PATCH...

They aren't arbitrary, they have well-defined semantic differences. It's true that “REST” APIs built over HTTP often play fast and loose with HTTP semantics, but that's not a feature of REST so much as people understanding neither REST not HTTP.

> HTTP response codes... so many numbers, so little meaning!

HTTP Status Codes have very well defined meanings.

> Response codes other than 200 and 500 are effectively never good enough by themselves, so then we come to the next part

201, 202, 204, 3xx, 4xx, and 5xx are usually fine alone, though sometimes it's nice to augment 4xx/5xx with additional info.

200, on the other hand, usually needs more info unless it's being used in a case where 201/204 would be more specific.
> This is why the Economist

Do you actually read the economist? The publication has downgraded quality enormously since 2004, when I first start reading the economist as a subscriber and not casually.

For the economist to make sense you have to accept reality in very simplistic terms, e.g. "US/NATO good, Iran/Russia/China bad". If you can live with this simple worldview, than the ecconomist is fine.

> no amount of thrust

Are you sure that's right? Thrust implies acceleration, not just velocity.

Suppose you're just inside the event horizon, from the perspective of an external observer. You're traveling outward at a velocity of .95c. That's lower than the escape velocity (which is > c), so you're going to fall back in before you actually get to the external observer. But if you were close to the event horizon you might cross back over it before you fall back in, right? At which point the external observer could see you again.

And once you're outside the event horizon, e.g. to the place where escape velocity is .9c, you might by then have slowed to .8c, but if you still have the capacity to accelerate back above .9c again, you could still get out, couldn't you?

> The usual definition of event horizon is from the perspective of the external observer

Strictly speaking, no, the usual definition of event horizon is completely observer independent: the event horizon is the boundary of the region of spacetime that cannot send light signals to infinity. That region, and its boundary, are invariant geometric properties of the spacetime, independent of any observer.

> time and space coordinate switch places

This is a common pop science statement, but it can be very misleading. It would be better to say that, inside the horizon, moving "down in space" (meaning, decreasing the surface area of the 2-spheres you pass through, since the radial coordinate that you are using is defined in terms of those areas) is moving forward in time: the "forward in time" direction in spacetime is also the "decreasing areal radius" direction in spacetime.

Even that, however, depends on a particular choice of coordinates. There are other choices of coordinates where it is not true (at least not in the simple form in which I have just stated it).
Apparently this is something that has totally stuck with the NYTimes. I respect them (for a mainstream media publication), but no one can get over the fact that they lied blatantly at the time.
My job at 16 was also McDonald’s. I loved it. The floor managers would make sure we all got free food basically any time at our store, so I could go with my friends and we’d all get dinner. Nobody took it too seriously and most people tried but we definitely worked hard.

It was fun. I don't think it really should mean one thing or another for one's professional destiny. I definitely don't miss smelling like hamburgers!
I got really in to Factorio for a while. Then I beat it (Launched the rocket in to space), and ever since then I have no desire to go back. I think it just feels too much like work for me now. I think the fact that Factorio feels so much like programming both makes the game great, and makes the game exhausting. Nowadays, after a full day programming, I just want to relax with games that don't require refactoring.

That being said, it's a great game and would still recommend it to anyone that hasn't played through it.

I'd love to see some kind of indication that a car is in autonomous mode. That would let others adjust their expectations.

Especially cops, it could be legal to be asleep/drunk if the car is autonomous!

That being said, it would be great if autonomous cars kept up with traffic. I've seen autonomous cars going 50mph on hwy 101 when other traffic is going 70mph, or 5mph over normal highway speeds. Not a great situation.

There's another really difficult challenge for hearing-impaired people not mentioned here: it's mentally exhausting to follow online meetings, even with captions. Hearing impaired people have to very intently while also trying to make sense of lagging/imperfect captions, and that's a high cognitive load to sustain for long periods.

Accented English is particularly challenging, because otter.ai (used in Zoom) has very poor accuracy with the most common accents we encounter in software engineering.
Awk and shell scripting is the rabbit hole that is best avoided IMHO. Often it's just easier to crank out a "real" program using your lost familiar programming language or at very least python instead of starting to work with shell or awk scripting.

You are legally obliged to have a ID card or passport. You also have a officially registered primary residency. Being a German citizen makes you eligible for all German and European elections.

No need to present your ID to vote, your invitation is enough. Your ID will do if you forgot that invitation.

So in a sense, we have. A mandatory, government run. You cannot be purged, we don't sign ballots (our elections have to be 100% anonymous), we don't need our ID to vote. And any party affiliation is not part of that system. makes stuff a lot easier, and individual parties cannot toy around with it.
I remember a previous version from about 2 years ago... I think Lobe.ai was web-based, at the time? And you could drag and drop various blocks around to do image recognition and analysis? I probably have some of the details wrong but the demos were very impressive.

While I never got approved for that beta (probably rightly so, I'm just some random person with no actual connection to ML or AI), I was excited to see what their work led to. Congrats on releasing this latest iteration and acquisition!

(a) Please don't assume.

(b) The keyword is "seemingly". Just because they are seemingly replaceable doesn't mean it would be a good idea to replace them with third party repairs in a highly minutarized device.

The items being tied is a red herring. Changing the camera for example has security implications (consider that the camera module is e.g. forced to light a led when on, so that you're not recorded without knowing, and that's a hardware feature tied to the secure enclave. A changed camera module can also have implications for face id. And whose to guarantee that the third party "repaired" iPhone is still waterproof to the rating Apple provides?

I disagree. This whole situation with Jeremy is because of vague rules just like this. If I tell you that you are "wrong", you might consider me to be "jerk" and we can do this whole song and dance.

> pedestrian's shouldn't be able to just suddenly jump out in front of a fast-moving stream of heavy traffic and expect everyone to stop across all lanes for them.

I don’t agree. If you are driving too fast to stop for pedestrians, you are driving too fast, period.

I’ll make an exception for protected major freeways, especially in rural areas. (Abominations like the I-5 going straight through the middle of Seattle should be illegal).

Fair enough - I think that in this fictional world where the CoC frowns on hurting others' feelings, you'd have a valid complaint, and I think that such a CoC would quickly break apart a community (especially an open community, where anyone can show up and then proclaim their feelings have been hurt).

I think the NumFOCUS CoC doesn't say that though (although it's ambiguous because it includes "Be kind" in the normative text, and I'd agree that's a problem), and other CoCs are more interested in the objective (or, at least, more objective) question of whether a personal attack actually happened than the question of whether a participant felt attacked. The Contributor Covenant, for instance, prohibits "Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks," to which 'I'm sorry you felt insulted, but this was not an insult' would be an adequate defense.

It does appear that the relevant sections of the NumFOCUS CoC aren't unique to them, though I can't tell exactly where they came from, and you have convinced me that this is a problem. (Geez, this is license proliferation all over again.) Thank you!
