Well, if we're going to throw embedded into the mix, Intel gets really complicated as well. What's this J1900? J3455? Quick: what features does the 3455 have over the 1900? Is Apollo Lake good? Or is Bay Trail newer? How does Cannon Lake compare to Apollo Lake?

Comparing NUCs, which is better: the BXNUC10I7FNK1, or BXNUC10I3FNK1?

I've got a i5 3350P. Quick, what does the P stand for?
Article touches on this: concept of a nation vs citizenship is a relatively new one (late 18th century with the rise of state-nations).

One can argue the usefulness of any of those distinctions, but there is going to be some genetic and some cultural part to the "nation" definition (around the Balkans, it's been the religion more than anything else to define a nation — like language, I would consider that a cultural component).

You seem to be going strictly for the geographical distinction (with time a contributing factor), but that's in opposition to how nations are defined everywhere (otherwise, it's all Croatians in Croatia today and there wouldn't exist any "Irish Americans", even with Americans being already a mash-up special nation). In Serbian people try to make the distinction by using "Srbi" and "Srbijanci" (citizens), basically Serb vs Serbians, though it is a linguistic stretch (just like we've got Bosniaks/Bošnjaci for a nation to oppose it to Bosnians/Bosanci which includes anyone from Bosnia and Herzegovina).

It is terrible, but very common in my experience. It is the success recipe for Apple to a large degree.

Software houses are something different, but if you change to another industry as inhouse dev, the priorities change drastically. It has advantages and disadvantages, but in industry jobs outside of software people just cannot really evaluate the quality of your work. It just needs to look shiny to a degree.

Double Question Marks(?) Or Nullish Coalescing Operator in Angular/TypeScript
The comment was a direct response to the other (about how much effort it takes to do open source [on GitHub]). I can't make full sense of your questions, but what is possible to make out doesn't seem to follow from the comment you're replying to.
Calling it a democracy doesn't justify majority rule either, it just gives a different name to the oppression of the minority. Democracy is the worst system, except for all the rest so far. I would go so far as to argue the closer a democracy becomes to being evenly divided the more it has the problems of the other less egalitarian systems of government.
If the competitors have indeed been subsidised by foreign countries, that's a nice transfer of wealth from those countries to Britain, and, given the low historical success of government industrial subsidy, one that only the British will benefit from.
Thermodynamically, the higher concentration of CO2 in industrial flue gas means you can capture CO2 there more efficiently than you can from the ambient air. However, industrial carbon capture typically is a loser because processing the huge volumes of gas produced by industrial equipment is neither cheap nor easy, requiring very large & energy intensive facilities. The products produced by such purification aren't valuable enough to offset those costs, and industry will not shoulder that burden out of the goodness of its cold mechanical heart.

Chemical looping can reduce the cost of these processing facilities (or eliminate them completely) by dramatically reducing the number of impurities in the CO2 that is produced from combustion, especially nitrogen. I.e. it makes a more pure CO2 product from the get-go, which means the total volume of gas to process is lower, and purification is even easier.
And -- from what I gather from the coverage -- becoming disillusioned with the whole premise once the thrill of rebellion against parents is gone.

Just because you use the word "fact check", "misinformation", and "disinformation" doesn't mean it's not censorship.

It implies you are removing something based on a criteria which is censorship by definition regardless of your views. We can argue whether it's okay or not but you cannot argue that it's not censorship. You do not have the authority to redefine censorship.
Yeah, I should have been more specific. Raising taxes lets you pay off debt, often by hitting the rich harder. Inflation lets you devalue debt, making it easier to pay it off, by hitting the poor harder.

In both cases, debt is accrued mostly by paying middle class bureaucrats and already-rich contractors to perform the "functions of government".

If you inflate, you are sneakily transferring wealth from the poor to the rich. So, why stop?
Yeah, I hear you. Nowadays I do Scheme embedded in C/C++. The stuff I used to love Python for is now done in Scheme, and the outer containers are in C++. It's actually a really nice way to write code, for me at least. Forces a clean architecture on you, and you know you can always move anything out into C++ if you need either a library or lower-level access. I use S7, but you could use Guile, Gambit, Chicken similarly.
That's... an interesting take. I'm not sure it's well founded, could you expand on your thought?

The refactoring tools in JetBrains products are amazing for me. Renaming a variable and having all uses within scopes renamed too is great. Renaming classes by patterns is also great. Being able to move definitions to new files and have it update all my imports etc is great.

How to save p5.js sound file with effects?
I am making a simple audio recorder and editor with p5.js and p5.sound. I have searched the docs, StackOverflow, and google for this answer and have not found it. So I am asking the professionals. I want to know how to save the p5.js sound file with the effects added. For example, I tried this:

soundFile.setVolume(3);
save(soundFile, "mySound.wav");

It will play like that, but it will not save with the volume effect added. Is there any way to do this? If so, how? Thanks for all your help in advance!
I think you're strawmanning/misunderstanding me a bit to say 'just not going to take any contribution come their way'. I never suggested they ought to, the point is they seem NEVER to take any significant contribution from outside the Google team, like at all.

>For people outside if their thinking aligned with core team they will feel welcome and others will feel unwelcome due to high handedness of core team.

No, whether you align or not major contributions are not accepted. See the godep vs. go modules debacle for example.

And again, that's all fine with me, and I can see why they'd operate that way, but they claim not to which is my major beef (and allow people to work very hard at contributing without realising it's not going to get them anywhere).
I get why they did it to some extent, although I agree with the sentiment they didn't put enough weight behind CoreRT (Honestly I blame their cloud-centric view; the result is ASPNETCORE has been swarmed with developers while CoreRT has a few that also tend to have to work on the main runtime.)

BUT, putting Mono out there let everyone else in the community start developing tooling (that Microsoft will take the best ideas from before politely acting like the community didn't keep the whole idea afloat.)

Where I live in the USA, you verify the voter to get a ballot, go to a private area to fill out the ballot, go to a new area to scan the ballot, and leave the paper ballot that is filled out in the scanning machine to have a paper trail of votes. Unless you are the only person voting in a long stretch of time it would be hard to determine which vote was your vote. That doesn't mean it is impossible just highly unlikely.

I recently broke my old iPhone and already knew I wanted the smaller new one that's about to come out so I got the cheapest ATT brand (yes, they actually make their own branded phones, no they are worse than you would think) Android, the phone is a pain to use. Texting is hard, opening spotify is a chore, unlocking isn't instant, and it's made me way more mindful and apprehensive about unlucking my phone. It just being bad, has made me a better more present person and I'm honestly now going to wait to go back to a "real" phone so the habits I'm learning stick
Driving long distances at super-stupid speeds is something I have done, albeit only on British roads. I had a bully of a boss who made me do it in his cars, all of which were powerful for the time.

What it gives you is a very different perspective on car shows where they test cars on closed circuits and runways. If you are going downhill for ten miles or so then you are going well above what the top speed of your vehicle is supposed to be. Skill level is approximately zero as you are just pushing a pedal and totally ready for that moment when you get stopped and banned from driving for what must be forever. Maybe with jail time.

The other perspective is on those police chase shows where the bad guy is only doing something like double the speed limit. You have been tanking along somewhat faster than that.

My weapon of choice was actually a brick shaped Renault Espace with a V6 engine in it. That could roll along at aforementioned speed for mile after mile, no mechanical woes at all. I am sure it wouldn't get to these speeds with the Stig on Top Gear, but, if you are driving the length of the country, then something magical happens even if the 150 to 151 mph time is 301 seconds. The speed just keeps going upwards.

Youthful stupidity means this is possible with walls of snow on either side of the road at 3 a.m. which amounts to the clear roads the recent Cannonball runs had.

There is also an adjustment afterwards when you are driving normal cars at normal speeds. For me this was just not what I wanted to do so I actually quit driving, having got away with many crimes. Nowadays, Ed Bolian aside, I detest anyone going at stupid speeds on normal roads. If you crash then you are going to have your brain crash inside your skull making you brain dead. Not to mention inconveniencing the world with the road closed and the people in the other car in hospital.

As far as driving is concerned, I have 'lived' and got several cars cruising along at that top speed figure few drivers would dare get to. Although I will never do that again I have scratched that itch. If I was to get back into driving I would recommend a vehicle with a good view so the scenery can be enjoyed at a safe 65 mph. I would also recommend a full roll cage with harness - for those maximum 65 mph speeds. As it is most motorway driving is more dangerous than people appreciate, not least because the roads are shared with crazy idiots like my younger self.
This is amazing! I've been handwriting some simple SVGs and this makes that so much simpler. I like how this goes down pixel-level accuracy that provides the simplicity I like and exposes semantics that are familiar to programmers such as path commands.

Tools like Sketch are a little intimidating to start learning and I'm not even sure if they expose things like path commands.

The lower bound of an answer is this: when the core of your work is kotlin android dev and you are only occasionally required to dabble in desktop (perhaps for some internal tooling related to the backend of your app) skill transferability will be worth a lot. Everybody can throw together hello world and some buttons in any toolkit, but reaching any meaningful level of productivity requires a lot of experience in the toolkit.

Something designed from the beginning for multiplatform will very likely end up not productive overall of you have a 50:50 distribution, but if you have a clear first class platform for product / second class platform for the occasional supporting tool situation, then something designed specifically for the first class platform that also has some capability for the second class platform can easily be superior.
Not necessarily. Public domain and fair use don't require distribution to
occur. Ex: Photos taken in the 1890s are public domain, and you may know that they exist (having seen a print in a no-photography-allowed museum), but the owner of the only copy of the photo is under no obligation to distribute them.
INtel screwed up - that was pretty major win for AMD.
The focus should be upon the dirt, the real estate, not the improvements on top. Look at fire insurance valuations of the improvements, and those have not appreciably inflated compared to the dirt.

It is interesting that Bezos' "your margin is my opportunity" nor Andreessen's "software eats the world" has yet to discount real estate valuations.

The rational emergent response from young generations is to reject conventions surrounding real estate, as that entire ecosystem is completely unsustainable for the majority of the population. The young generations have been completely shafted on real estate.
i love antiX.. it's the swansong OS of a couple of my old computers, giving them life. i like the approach of it. it takes a bit to adjust to, to the way it works, but then there's a warm feeling to it which is nice.
> I think one thing programmers underestimate is how many scientists and academics are using Python. It's not just ML, it's pretty much every kind of scientist and tons of non-science academics too. The fact that it's a great "casual" or part-time language is huge for these people. They aren't full time (or even self-identifying) programmers, but their programs are non-trivial. The readability, portability, tooling, and massive package ecosystem is huge for them.

I've found the reliability and tooling really unsatisfactory, at least compared to Haskell.

The libraries are there, though, and familiarity is in the departments (psychology (maybe more R?), physics, &c.)

of course - create any website open to the public where they can message each other, and there will always be some abuse. It's unavoidable.

But what can you do? You can't police the messages for every potential form of abuse. (I've only ran an automated spam filter to make sure that the service is never used for blatant spam. I've also blanket-blocked some domains whenever I noticed a pattern in any abuse reports, and finally recipients were able to easily do a permanent block themselves). In any case, running a messaging service even more difficult if you're a small guy and not Facebook or Google.

That is terrible. As a "boss" of an SRE team, we only use the GUI for groking, testing (in a sandbox account), and for a handful of _documented_ things that have to be done in the GUI (usually account wide settings). Everything else, in every "real" environment is in source control, we use Terraform.
I dont think the core bureaucracy (politicians and the workings of the democratic system) of America are, by themselves, in any way bloated or harmful. They are complexity that gives us overwhelming returns by having a stable political system that, as you note, prevents outright descent into tyranny.

But there's layers of bloat built around this system, from power brokers to marketing firms to talk show radio.

Ultimately I doubt the bloat of our political system is that great, if anything I'd be more concerned about the bloat from our military system. If I ask myself how many people do I know building a career off military dollars, versus a career off political dollars, the former camp is much larger.

I admit I haven't read the article yet, so it's possible this is addressed there, but it seems to me that perhaps a question that needs to be answered before that posed by the headline is: What would it even mean for a society to "collapse" in the modern age?

In the far past, societies "collapsed" when they were sufficiently ravaged by disasters natural and man-made that they could no longer keep producing enough food to feed the people, and could no longer protect the people from raiders from outside, emboldened thieving groups within, and wild animals.

Short of a massive nuclear war that sees significant portions of the US being bombed or the entire surface of the planet unlivable without protective gear, we're not going to stop being able to produce enough food to feed everyone in the US. There are no violent barbarians at our borders waiting to attack by land, and the wild animals left here are easy enough to keep in check with tools and weapons that are fairly basic to us now. The only thing on that list that I could see being even remotely plausible is a breakdown of law enforcement (or even "law enforcement" joining in) allowing roving groups of home-grown raiders to make trouble inside the country...but I have a very hard time believing that that would be permitted to go on for long enough, or spread far enough, to be able to meaningfully say that American society had collapsed.

The combination of having settled/conquered essentially the entire land area of the continent (northern Canada notwithstanding), modern farming practices producing vast surpluses of food, and the level of interconnectedness that even the telegraph gave, let alone the modern mobile internet, means that the kinds of things that could have caused a societal collapse in earlier millennia just cause dents that get smoothed out over time.

My take on all of this: There isn't going to be some grand Event that breaks everything and lets someone come in and pick up the pieces. There isn't going to be a revolution, there isn't going to be a collapse, there isn't going to be a singularity. There's just us, and what we do to move forward. We need to find ways to come together and work toward a future where we all take care of each other. We have the resources to do so multiple times over, so now what we need to do is stop accepting that some people get to hoard hundreds, thousands, or millions of times more of those resources than the median, while others starve on the street. It will take time, and work—lots and lots of hard work—but we need to work, step by step, on pulling our society away from a model built around scarcity, and around money as the central concept, and toward one built around abundance, with human life, dignity, and happiness as the central concepts.
It resonates with me a lot. I have this idea I would like to test. But once I'm done with my work (I'm a PM under french lockdown, I spend my whole day in front of my computer), I really need to disconnect, spend time with my 3 kids and wife, or exercise.

I'm afraid that if I spend my evening and nights into trying my idea, I would either 1/ not get results fast enough and hence loose faith in the project or 2/ get burned out and hence disgusted by the project.

Or maybe it's just the lies I like to tell myself to be comfortable with keeping on procrastinating this...

Isn't that exactly the complaint against what 538 is doing? Literally upthread, "[the] issue with 538’s models is how wide their margins are."
It's true that the Zen parts have higher main memory latency than their Intel competitors. If this is very important to your workload, you should consider them. I think this is caused by the fact that Intel's memory controller is more tightly integrated, while the AMD memory controller is on the other side of some wires from the cores. AMD compensates with huge cache sizes, but every time they increase the cache size they also make the cache slower, which isn't great.
It is easy to get too hung up on efficiency though. Overall cost matters more. If a solar plus metal powder solution gives the same reliable power as a solar plus battery solution at lower cost then that will often be a superior solution, even if it requires more solar panels.

Efficiency matters when you run out of space or resources. But you got vast areas like Sahara where solar power production could be combined with metal production. Wasting space in Sahara is a non-issue if it means you get the overall cost of system down.
