No worries! Snark received.

As we go up the engineering career ladder and land on more specialised roles with the necessary experience, both from a technical and managerial perspective, the funnel definitely shrinks. I won't deny that that looks different from place to place, but it's hard to deny that it will take years still for any saturation we see to take place on the higher part of the career ladder as people specialise more as they get there.

Specifically once we started looking for engineering management and principal level roles that still bring the technical expertise we'd expect the hiring pool was definitely not saturated.
That's about the bare minimum. Does any modern client not do that? But I think an HTML renderer that doesn't even have support for Javascript, audio and video tags, perhaps parts of CSS, etc. has a smaller attack surface.

Ryzen narrowly beats M1 due to 60% higher clock frequency. Apple is avoiding clicking M1 that high to save power and reduce Heath. This at similar clock frequency and watt usage there would not be much competition. Ryzen would get destroyed.

This is false, the R value cannot tell you about the future or wether graphs are ‘likely to go down’. They tell you wether the graph is going down, which you can tell from the graph. It just quantifies this.

This is exactly why the R value is not very useful. It is calculated over historical data so it has no predictive power whatsoever. However, it does falsely appear to have this power. Quote:

I wonder if a "good law" making it is just proof that it won't help. Glue them shut, epoxy it in, everything getting smaller anyways. Gives you a lower score, but trying to get the best bang for the buck that score might not move the needle that much and there is no alternative iOS device either.
No, if I'm reading the quote correctly:

"To date, more than 17,000 people have taken their own lives this year in Japan. October self-inflicted deaths were up 600 year on year, with female suicides, about a third of the total, surging over 80%."

that's an increase from 110 people in a month to 200 roughly, if the 80% is of the rise in the percentage of the female suicides and not of the total amount, if I read right. Overall it doesn't seem like suicide has exploded, just that Japan had a downwards trend that reversed back up to old levels.

Not very newsworthy at all, imo.

In 2020, our firefighters here in Toronto are bored. They go to car accident scenes to simply block traffic, they show up at 911 calls to talk with people and see if they can offer aid while waiting for paramedics/ambulance, two or three trucks will show up for our small walkups occasional false alarms. My brother and nephew are cops, they end up shooing the fire trucks away from minor accidents because they clog up traffic with their trucks and multiple firefighters just hanging around.

The reasons for this boredom are fantastic news: smoke detectors, safer vehicles, mandatory sprinklers even in small complexes, mandatory fire escapes, laws around flamability of furniture/clothing/bedding, reduced smoking, better awareness of fire hazards.

Yes, these tragedies still happen, but don't make it sound like we're not doing anything because right now one of our biggest issues is too many fireman for the drastically reduced number of vehicle and house fires we have: we paid for all of these safety programs and we still pay for the fireman they should have replaced.
I don’t have one, but the benchmarks, both synthetic and reports of real world usage, along with the architectural differences, are quite compelling. I don’t think humans are capable of a conspiracy on the scale required to generate this much positive coverage across the board. Even the contrarian takes admit the performance advantages.

Personally, I’m holding out for Parallels. I have some Windows-only software that’s required for work; even after Parallels with Windows on ARM64 is available, I’ll have to see about having that software recompiled for ARM64 or if it will run under Microsoft’s x64 emulation in Parallels.

My other Mac is a 2013 Mac Pro that still works fine, but I am curious to compare compiling benchmarks with the new Mini. Maybe by the 2nd gen with more RAM is released, it will be qualified for corp use.

Why do gyms need to be open?
Here's how I think of "collapse": you suffer some serious injury or illness, you call for an ambulance and told that none are available. You get a friend to drive you to the nearest A&E department to be told to come back tomorrow as there's no room left. You drive to another to be told the same.

This is all entirely possible in 2020 to 1000s of people, and I still wonder why people think lockdowns are a bad idea.
Ugh. That “renounce your citizenship then” jibe speaks volumes about the revulsion felt by authoritarians for nonconformists. It is bigotry 101, and repeating it labels you personally.

You're making several incorrect assertion. First while carbon frames are largely marketed at the expensive high performance crowd they are not very expensive to make (for example the production costs of top of the line specialized or trek frames which sell for 3000-5000 USD for the frame only, have cost including shipping to the US of approximately 300 USD). Second every professional cyclistbis always limited by their physical abilities, compared to many other sports, material has very little impact on the performance of pro cyclists. Mind you they still take that 1% gain because it can make all the difference between a win and a place in the top 10.

There are also significant amount of carbon commuter bikes around by other companies so this is nothing new. Particularly the prices of e bikes are significantly due to the motor etc.

I notice current hardware still uses disks, so cylinders probably have disadvantages, too (possibly that they have to be either enormous or have a strongly curved surface, but I don’t see how the curved surface would be bad)

And yes, there’s current hardware (for the recording side). https://svi.nl/Spinning-Disk-Microscope:

“A Nipkow spinning disk microscope is one type of Fluorescence Microscope. A Nipkow disk is a spinning disk with a series of equally distanced circular holes of equal diameter drilled in it. It was invented by Paul Nipkow in 1885. Applied to a Fluorescence Microscope, it allows the sample to be scanned with an array of light points transmitted through these holes, participating in some of the advantages of a Confocal Microscope. Spinning disk microscopes are very good for living samples because they are fast and have relatively low phototoxicity. For fixed samples, a point-scanning Confocal Microscope is, in some cases, a better solution.

A Yokogawa Disk is a Nipkow disk with an array of microlenses in (or right after) the holes used in many commercial spinning disk microscopes.”

As you say, hydro makes for fairly cheap electricity. Though here in Norway at least, exports have caused prices to rise quite a bit. You can see the current price here[1] in EUR/MWh, so divide by 10 to get (Euro)cents per kWh.

The main driver to get people onto heat pumps has mainly been just lowering electricity bill. You get up to 5x more heat per kWh, so it has a significant impact. We've also just banned oil burners[2], though not too many had those.

Water heating is primarily done using electricity, using a water heater like this[3].

In some places, especially in cities, there might be district heating where the heat and/or hot water comes from a central. In my previous place that was due to a waste plant burning trash. They filter a lot of stuff but not CO2, however the other one in the city will be getting CO2 filtering now[4] after a financial go-ahead this year from the government.

I can't speak of the political climates of the majority of the world, but at least in Europe multi-party systems aren't that uncommon, and those tend towards less of an ideological divide between the parties than the American bipartisan system, from what I've gathered.

So I'm not sure I entirely understand what you mean with the divide being more internationally palatable. "Spilling over" also doesn't imply the source is static.

And this totally makes sense for people who are in known dangerous conditions and are relying on the mask operating at peak performance.

Lots of people are in the situation of thinking of an N95 mask as an “upgrade” compared to a surgical or cloth mask for grocery shopping, etc. Early in the pandemic there was this line of thinking as if an N95 mask was 100% useless if it didn’t form a perfect seal. This is obviously untrue, and it’s clearly a step up from a surgical mask even with some minor facial hair! How much of a step up is a totally different question and like you touched on it’s quite possible that it’s not worth the extra hassle and discomfort.

So, you’re saying an open source developer shouldn’t take a job contributing to open source because the company historically has a reputation of not contributing?

(In the language community, it is recognized that Amazon used to not contribute to Java at all and now is one of the major contributors. This probably hasn’t hurt in recruiting contributors for other languages.)
You completely misunderstood what this bike is for.

It's about profit, pure and simple.

I would like to mention that these articles claim "renewables generate waste" but they always omit that you can always improve the technology to produce less harmful waste. You can't do that with fossil fuels.

For example. A common complaint is that solar panels are full of leaded solder. What the articles omit is that leaded solder has been banned for more than a decade and the panels they are complaining about are two or three decades old. The articles also generally focus on the most toxic waste even if the most commonly used solar panel types don't contain any of that toxic waste. Thin film cadmium solar panels are "toxic" and everyone agrees but it's a tiny portion of the market. Most solar panels are based on silicon wafers and with some luck you can resurface the top layer of the wafer and use it to make new solar panels. If the frame is made out of aluminum and glass you can recycle that too.

My suspicion is that Google employee's were seeing their dns fucked with at public wifi hotspots (something that was happening at the time) and decided to build their own dns for their own security. Being Google and having boat loads of server resources I imagine they decided they may as well make it public.

All those products that got killed mostly started that way, employee's wanted them and google had the money to make them happen. Eventually though if they're not growing, then who in google wants to work on them?

Did google also see it as a strategic way to make sure dns providers couldn't force search results elsewhere? Probably, but then as users WE certainly don't want dns providers fucking with dns in that manner either.

We are not talking about patents here, but copyright. If someone comes up with an alternative implementation with a different license, you are perfectly free to start using it instead, what's the issue?

Oil (Diesel) generation is about 20% better in terms of CO2 output vs coal.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/reneweconomy.com.au/graph-of-th...

And how can it "negate years of hydro" anyway?

Say there are 5 years of zero emissions and then 3 months of diesel emissions. That creates some CO2 but it doesn't somehow erase the emission savings previously.

That makes zero sense at all.

Demo-oriented programming makes you better
> potentially any interaction with it

But that's not what I said. I said programs that do not work without some other program, is, in my opinion, a derivative work. I just don't see how the calling mechanism even plays into that judgement.

I do agree that there are other licenses such as the AGPL that try to cover these cases.

And arguably the online thing is a whole different ball of wax, because you can talk about software using a service, etc. It really is tricky in that case.

But I don't see the reason to distinguish between calling a function via the C stdcall mechanism, vs. "popen" and capturing stdout. It's exactly the same, logically, the only difference are details that imho should not matter for the legal case.

Right now, if I release a GPL library, what stops someone from coming along and writing a CLI program that just wraps every function with some textual interface, and including that with their closed-source program? The GPL becomes pretty toothless if it's bypassed so easily.

Lockdowns are expensive when you do them late. The point is to do them as early as possible or better do proper contact tracing, mask usage, travel restrictions early. E.g. Taiwan put on full travel restrictions super fast and now operate like a normal country with minimal economic damage. Dragging your feet on COVID19 is what gets expensive.
I have the same fear. I think this is where social interaction would be absolutely key, even if as a vegetable I’m not responsive. Isolation would lead to insanity.

Regardless, if I was in such a state, I would like the option to self-euthanize. Assuming I had the ability to hear, they could use brain-scanning to figure out my ultimate desire in that area, and ask me on a regular basis if I wished to continue living as a locked-in patient.
