The biggest wart with the M1 Macs is that you're stuck running MacOS, which just feels like molasses every time I use it.

It's the same problem with A14 iPhones. You're stuck running iOS, which is not only too restricted to be of any use, but also too slow to showcase the hardware.

Original article is much clearer. This is a long-needed and awaited step. I'd say this might be the most important change in Excel in years. The recursion hacks mean that all kinds of looping hacks can be removed.

"Yes, many are. And then there are those, that are a bit more cash strapped (like the 300k households cut off from electricity each year) or work in energy intensive industries fearing for their jobs."

I don't think the US collects national stats but it sounds like Germany is pretty average in terms of "energy cost burden" amongst European countries. [1]

I found stats for CA AND TX, 700k/40M disconnected in CA in 2016 and 900k/30M in Texas vs Germany 330k/81M - for whatever it's worth, didn't check methodologies. [2]

And even the most conservative use of databases usually relies on them enforcing particular application logic. E.g., foreign keys or non null constraints. Or, to be even more radical, maintaining structured data itself, with separate tables comprised of different columns with different data types.

I read that only a small fraction of people who take cocaine get addicted.

Shouldn't we figure some (genetic?) tests so anyone check if he can safely use or is prone to addiction?
UK Startup Horror Story
I think I dumped a backup of my Juno emails (90s offline dial-up email for kids with parents too cheap to shell out for internet) but it's probably on some obsolete media like a Zip drive somewhere. Probably for the best.

Recursion in SQL is one of the questions I always ask Data Engineers during interviews. The answer in MS T-SQL is to use a recursive CTE. It is not a common problem, but it comes up once in a while. Using a CTE is a better solution than calling an SP recursively because you can only nest 32 calls deep. In the MS Azure SQL Data Warehouse product you are simply fucked if you need to do recursion.

STILL! 5 minutes vs 2 DAYS can't be attributed to just being replicated.
I tried very hard when I first installed Linux to get into a terminal-based workflow, mainly by creating an elaborate vim config. In the end I couldn't do it. I spent a lot of my time at my computer writing LaTeX documents, and for this the ctrl-click capability of a GUI editor is indispensable. That is, the editor brings up the source and compiled file simultaneously, and by ctrl-clicking somewhere in either, I am brought immediately to the corresponding place in the other display. I don't really use any conveniences of the editor (e.g. autocomplete) except this.

Whereas, in vim, trying to do random-access edits like this with just a keyboard is sort of a nightmare.

I'm sure there's a way to rig ctrl-click up in vim, but to me the appeal of vim is the (purported) speed boost from your hands not leaving the keyboard, so that really defeats the point.

If anyone has ideas in this regard, I'd be happy to hear them!
In general, theatening to resign is never a good strategy and will never be in your favor unless you are a highly valued executive.

If you're anyone else in the company and think a problem could possibly work out, try to amicably work it out. If you believe it to be impossible to work out, it is much better to just resign than to threaten to resign, which will almost always result in firing.

If you resign, you have the upper hand, can still get 2 more weeks of pay, possibly a couple of good recommendations for your next job, and then go write your blog posts after that.

It's amazing how fast expectations have changed.

AWS mislabeled something that is a "backup" (delta copy to s3) as a "snapshot". That's not what is called snapshot in the storage world. Granted ESX snapshots aren't exactly that either.

In this scenario, your odds are probably best with the CEO leading enterprise sales - at least, that's how the successful companies that I've been a part of did it. A product led founder works best in a product-led market.

At this point expecting someone to have read them is just nuts. The "lawsuit culture" in the US, where you have to guard yourself from possible lawsuits all the time, have made these legal contracts comically bad. They have always been strange, since you typically get to read them after you unpack the phone/computer etc.
A lot of the arguments here seem to come from people thinking laptops are the only game in town. When someone makes unqualified claims about the m1 beating "all the other PC cpus" of course people are going to compare it to desktop chips. Even Apple themselves advertised it as the "worlds fastest CPU core" when they announced it, which is blatantly untrue.

People aren't saying that this isn't a very compelling CPU, they're just annoyed by the bullshit marketing, and the people blindly repeating it.
Sorry, I was referring to the assertion that "they wouldn't share the feedback on her paper".
I, on the other hand, feel sad that we don't have better terminals, but still rely on ancient teletype protocols, escape codes, and arcana.

I'd very much like an advanced, still cli/terminal, interface option.
Even if you are marginalized, threatening to resign with ultimatums will never work in your favor unless you have an entire union behind you.
While it's not bad, it's not that great a universal tool either. My native language makes use of a lot of compound words and Google's spell checker often gets confused when I combine words according to the standard grammar.

I can see and understand the technical limitations, but tools like Microsoft Word seem to do a much better job than Google's spell checker, even in things like Google Docs.

Google search will often suggest splitting up words and sometimes even does it transparently, which can give entirely wrong results because suddenly Google matches words across a sentence instead of specific compound words. It's kind of frustrating to have to resort to quotation marks for some single-word search terms.

I get the feeling Google's spell checker doesn't check spelling, it just tweaks the input until it manages to find more results. Not quite the same, because a lot of "fixes" often have entirely different meanings in my experience.
Air travel has become so cheap you can pretty much subsidize 3-4 domestic trips a year with a good rewards credit card and flexible dates. I am not sure this is a net win for my personal happiness as I rarely take these trips for fun reasons.
The RTL8019 appears to still be in production; the oldest datasheet I could find has a date of Jan 1996 on it, making it close to 25 years old.
“If you’re not paying for it, you’re the product” :)

FWIW I’ve contacted Fastmail’s support once and they were excellent: they helped through a funny DNS issue that was my own doing within an hour of contacting them, and didn’t bat an eye at the question. It was one of the few times I’ve contacted support and thought “this person knows what I’m trying to do, why I messed it up, and how to fix it” at a deep level.

They’ve either made great runbooks or hire great people, but the result is the same.
As such, it's a kind of a curse.

That is not always true: top tier companies like FB (the subject of this article), Google pay internationals the same as locals. As for the issue of rights I fully agree: much better to instead give foreigners much more security when they immigrate in terms of visas.
Yes it can. Why can't it? It's something people want because it's value increases, and there's a limited number of it. People don't know what value to assign to it, so its price violently fluctuates.

I have no idea where this thinking comes from that it's novel other than people are sold on the hype of the concept without thinking about the concept from a different angle.

If we did "Bitcoin by hand" and threw out increasingly large numbers, and whoever could figure out its factors would be awarded a ticket, and lets say there's only 100 million tickets, what would be the difference?

That it can't be counterfeited? That the central bank can't print more tickets? That's it? Wow, OK. You know, the counterfeiting issue isn't one that modern economies face in significant portion anymore. And if you wanted to prevent the printing of money, you could just ask your local representative to advocate for the US to go back to the gold standard.

Except it doesn't work anymore. So why would it work in software?
You could host your DNS elsewhere. Cloudflare (though they recently had a serious outage) or any of the million DNS providers that have been around forever.

Is it? In Geekbench the M1 was outperforming the 5950X in single-core.

Highest Geekbench 5 single core score is apparently 2239 on a 5800x (https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/singlecore?page=1)

Highest m1 single core score is 1716
(https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/search?q=Apple+M1)

(Of course they're likely overclocked past factory settings, but if we ignore those results that's not the fastest CPU core in the world, is it?)

Geekbench has also not traditionally been a benchmark used for x86 desktop chips, it's more commonly used to compare android and apple phones.
Just to be precise, Marketplace is not produced by NPR.

It is produced by American Public Media, which is a branch of Minnesota Public Radio (and Southern California Public Radio).

Perhaps you meant "US public radio" in general, but said "NPR". They are not equivalent, however.
Patrick Moorhead is a stock analyst for the chip industry. In Wall Street terms, he is aligned with Intel others who are shaking in their boots right now. He's not going to say that the M1 is great until Intel/NVidia/etc. allow him to.

These pundits know which side of his bread is buttered. He knows that his clients were caught off-guard by the M1 announcement. He needs to give his clients enough time to sell their Intel stock before it becomes conventional wisdom that the legacy chip makers have a business model that doesn't work.

The history of the tech industry is dotted with pundits nay-saying anything new from companies they aren't in bed with. Eventually they can't deny reality any longer. Through the magic of the media's short-term memory they change their song and deny they've every said anything else.

I remember in the 1980s when the top pundit of the industry was John C. Dvorak. Everyone read his column. EVERYONE. The Amiga was a potential threat to John, who was aligned with the MS-DOS world. He wrote many columns about how multitasking was stupid because "your desk can't fit more than one keyboard and mouse". Yeah, that was his reason. Of course, once MS-Windows arrived, suddenly his column was about how multitasking is this new thing, the best thing, the thing everyone should have. If you don't have it, you're an ignorant loser. I remember telling my friends that I wish I had saved his old, anti-Amiga/anti-multitasking, columns because I want to show up at one of his public appearances to ask how MS-Windows allows you to fit so many keyboards on his desk.

The "search" here refers to the idea that, in principle, you could search the entire space of possible hands of cards and exhaustively predict the optimal action by imagining every hand. However, like in the game of Go, this is computationally intractable, so instead they use machine learning to "guide search" towards more promising "moves". In AlphaGo (and here) this learning happened as part of a reinforcement learning pipeline.

There was some discussion of this in the AlphaGo Zero blog post from a while back: https://deepmind.com/blog/article/alphago-zero-starting-scra...

> That's nice in the abstract, but in real life, shitty performance costs people money and sanity right now, and that cost scales up with the number of users.

So do crashes, and so especially does silently outputting the wrong answer. Slow but reliable beats fast but flaky every time, and it's much easier to speed up a working program than fix a flaky one.
API for Charging Data for Energy Apps
For games, consistent, smooth frame rates and vsync(no tearing) is more important than input lag so often times things will be buffered.

That said, the VR space has a much tighter tolerance on input lag and there's hardware based mitigations. Oculus has a lot of techniques such as "Asynchronous Spacewarp" which will calculate intermediate frames based on head movement(an input) and movement vectors storing the velocity of each pixel. They also have APIs to mark layers as head locked or free motion etc.
Can I try and convince you why that's not a good idea?

Let's say you and I agree that a day's wages is worth 30 or so units of my currency--well pick any value, it doesn't matter for this example. And yet the currency keeps growing in value week over week. Should I not be paying you less and less over time? If the currency increases in value 7% in a month, should I not decrease your pay proportionally?

And are you really going to negotiate that day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month, year-to-year? What if the value drops significantly in the middle of the day? What do I pay you at the end of the week?

After all, the value of the currency is going up. I didn't decide the value of your labor was going up. It's staying the same.

Two dogs are already a lot, what if someone on the plane is allergic?

I get that some people may want to bring their emotional support animal (didn't even know those were a thing), but the idea that it can be an untrained animal seems absolutely crazy to me. Nevermind the fact that it's a dangerous for the other passengers, take off and turbulences are absolutely terrifying for them.
Docker and Kubernetes: The Complete Reference
Bravo!

Back in 2009 I helped to put together a small app in APEX, which then was quite new, in the two days, or day and a half, before the lead developer left for an overseas vacation. I had never before used APEX, she had been introduced to it an an Oracle tech day, but that was the extent of either's experience with it. The application is long gone, but got a lot of use over several months.

PL/SQL is an excellent tool for implementing business logic, and I really like APEX largely because I can call PL/SQL at any of several points.
The question being asked is what creates, sustains and strengthens the right presuppositions in an individual.
I should start by saying, I'm not a drug user (sans alcohol) and I don't have a dog in this race either way. To me, it's simply an interesting topic to discuss.

I'm not so sure Amsterdam is an accurate reference point.

1) Size. Was Amsterdam spending $1B fighting drugs?

2) We're not talking about cocaine being legalized, we're talking about the gov getting in the coke biz. The latter is a significant change in paradigm.

3) What are the unintended consequences? When that $1B spent on "fighting it" stops, what happens? Jobs lost? Etc.?

Note: I'm not suggesting it's a bad idea per se, only that it's more complicated than "X works in Country Y."
I would be quite fine with that. Maybe something akin to the labels required on cigarettes (in the US at least).

There’s a comfort with someone that comes only with spending time near them. The conversation I’m going to have, the answers to the exact same questions, is going to be different if I’ve just met someone compared to if I’ve just met someone and then spent an hour and a half sitting next to them, maybe with some hand on knee or around shoulder action.

This goes doubly so for online dating. Where when we first meet we might be at acquaintance level of information about each other while still at complete strangers level of comfort.

Maybe. American working class students have been priced out of many top academic programs, yet foreign students continued to pile in, solidifying the prohibitive cost of these programs. How is that a good thing? I’m personally happy to see these institutions struggle... they clearly need to find a way to serve more than the wealthy elite here and abroad.
Worst of all, it pushes non-racists to become actual racists.

If you start attacking people who previously had no problem with you, grouping them as evil on the basis of their physical characteristics, you’re going to get various forms of backlash. One of those is going to be those people seeking support among others belonging to the evil group identity that you carved out for them, and they’re going to push back in kind.

Looking at Bitcoin solely through the lens of an investment vehicle is myopic. Bitcoin solves a number of problems right now, for example providing an opportunity for the nearly 2 billion people without access to a traditional banking system to securely participate in the world economy with nothing more than an old Nokia phone that can be bought for a few dollars. Another example is how it is providing a way for people in hyper-inflationary economies like Venezuela to store value.

I think you're correct, but also it's a great "training date" when you're first starting off in your dating career. You don't have to interact much, and just being by someone you like holding hands can be enough when you're 16 years old.

I wouldn't make a movie my go-to first or third date in my 20's though, as it's not really accomplishing the goal of getting to know someone and finding a mate.
