Standard American English: The next procedure is to sever the artery.

(In case you're wondering, if I provide 'server' as the input for the second case, it replaces it with 'serve'. Which is reasonable. I tried changing the wording to coax it into placing sever but didn't have much luck)
My (admittedly limited) understanding is that in order to provide support for OpenGL, Mesa compiles code from OpenGL to some target backend. Mesa needs support for specific GPUs because it needs to be able to generate code that can be run on those architectures. In this way it is similar to adding support for a particular architecture in a C compiler. I believe that for open source GPU drivers, Mesa is the piece that is used to provide OpenGL support as part of that driver, whereas with proprietary drivers, OpenGL support is provided by other software.

I'm sure this drastically oversimplifies the situation, so please correct / fill in what I'm missing, but I believe this will answer the OP's question.

What are the prospects for a hypothetical future fanless Ryzen laptop?
I disagree. The iPhone was revolutionary in that it made smartphones and phone apps accessible to the mass market, unleashing a wave of change in how people live, work, and play.

M1 Macs will be used basically like the previous Macs, but somewhat faster and somewhat longer without plugging in. So I don't think this qualifies as a revolutionary change.
I know I'm probably older than most people here, but the notion that 16 GiB is "a tiny amount of RAM" is tremendously amusing to someone who paid $740 in 1986 (with a developer's discount) for 2 "MB" of RAM (we didn't have MiB back then)...
Can someone enlighten me on the current use case for wanting big endian on an architecture that supports both ?

Optimizing for the htons/htonl family of functions in a router/switch is all I can think of, but I'm a network guy.

The former runs on virtualized Windows Me

...which is, like the rest of the DOS-based Windows from Windows/386 onwards, itself a sort of hypervisor architecture --- DOS applications effectively run in VMs thanks to V86 mode, giving native performance. The difference is very noticeable if you open something like MS-DOS EDIT on Win9x vs. NT 4/2K/XP --- the latter runs in an emulated environment and the latency is enormous.
It's revolutionary in the sense that apple is the one who did this rather then intel or amd?
Well, it's actually de facto indentured servitude.
Of course, I wouldn't dream of saying that spelchek.pas (as I think I called it because 11-year-old me thought that was hilarious) was state of the art at the time, nor would it be sufficient for any purpose today. But it solved the core of the problem: identifying words with a likely mis-spelling, which is all the original article was talking about.
Some quick googling and it appears that animated is roughly 25% cheaper, is that enough to make the direct route profitable?
It's also possible that they do.
Anyone remembers dBase, Clipper, FoxPro, etc.?

I actually had to complete a dBase project for my last year in high-school (it was math/comp-sci oriented, so it made sense), but man I did not like it at all :) - I was all about Turbo Pascal then!
Since the HP50g is running an emulator of the 48G, it inherits a lot of the UI lag. It also inherits most of the UI efficiency; in my experience, the keystrokes saved outweigh any remaining visual latency deficit relative to the TI-89. But that's contingent on learning how to use it well in the manner of becoming a power user of emacs, while the TI-89's UI paradigms and learning curve feel more like using Microsoft Office.
I wrote one for Windows back in 1990 and it was a lot of work supporting so many word processor formats. The spell checking itself wasn't too difficult.
Nothing has rivaled VSC for me.
In terms of GPU cores it seems evident that Nvidia is clearly number one—disregarding any thermal limits—and AMD is clearly number two. It seems Apple is a solid contender for third place now. I don't think Intel or the smaller embedded players (Mali, PowerVR etc) have anything quite so good.

Am I missing something?
So in short, CPU and GPU manufacturers will have to do vertical integration themselves to compete.
I get that, I didn't mean to imply he gets to keep them but as you say, just getting them a week in advance is a benefit.

Lock all the candidates in a room. Have them do a secret ballot on paper. If somebody gets a majority, burn the ballots with fuel that produces white smoke. Otherwise, burn the ballots with fuel that produces black smoke, and then go back to the voting for another try.
Why would anyone bother about controlled impedance or matched trace length on an ISA card of all things? At the speeds ISA runs at you could connect everything with wire coat hangers
I work with one codebase similar to that (DBMS only), and that's exactly what I do there (it's not that clear-cut, some code validates data, some data is short-lived). There is more than one "code" schema, with different lifecycles too.

There are plenty of interesting problems with it. I would prefer to completely separate code from data if it wouldn't impact elsewhere. As it is, separating them would severely harm us, so it's kept this way. It brings a lot of productivity, but we have a very small team working on it, and completely separated procedures for them.

Just pulling random stats of the internet but, number of alcohol related deaths per year = 3 million

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/alcohol

So then it's a valid question to ask, if other drugs were made legal would they also rise to that level? AFAIK drug enforcement casualties don't come close to that number.

We have history of, for example, opium being legal and having millions addicted. Of course it's a different time period. Maybe today stuff like that wouldn't happen.

Pfizer chairman: We're not sure if someone can transmit Covid after vaccination
> You say "people with those types of built in personal issues float to the top" aren't you implying their positions are not earned based on merit and, therefore, that they are less competent than their peers?

Many are, yes. I had to hire one because my director’s bonus was implicitly tied to a diversity quota OKR, and the VP’s bonus was explicitly tied to one, which he blogged about as a shameful virtue signaling PR exercise. They didn’t even interview her. Then we way over-leveled her to boot, because there was another stupid OKR to grow diversity among senior levels. And this was at a big tech company that you’ve definitely heard of.

This is happening at many companies who claim that they aren’t lowering the bar.

Truth be told I had already lowered the bar and wanted to pass her but still couldn’t justify it. I didn’t want to deal with the diversity police and had my fingers crossed that she would be the one.

Some perfectly capable white guy didn’t get an opportunity as a result.

As long as the US dollar is the global reserve currency, then forcing all other countries to accept our infinite printing is easier. But MMT will incentivize foreign countries to use alternatives, and when the US dollar is no longer a reserve currency, the game is over. MMT also requires the government to rapidly increase and reduce taxes, from my research on it. All of this makes it intellectual masturbation, plus a very terrible idea IMO.

I think the M1 Macs are a precursor for a truly revolutionary (for consumers) Apple ARM computer. Whether that will be realized with the M1X/M2 next year or further on, it remains to be seen.

A good alternative to strictly terminal-based workflows are tiled window managers.

The big gain is that you don't have to give up all those gui apps as they blend in next to the terminal apps quite well.

My experience using plaid with Schwab, on which I have MFA, is that you need to add an MFA code to your password when connecting the two. It works for some duration (a few days?) and then loses sync and you have to re-enter the password+MFA combo.
But if you look at his video, he does say governments might attempt to ban crypto, but it would be hard to totally ban, since other governments might adopt cryptos. For an effective ban all world governments have to work together on this, and that's quite unlikely to happen.

Actually Iran is using cryptos right now to circumvent some bans from the US government. Certainly Iran would not be in favour for banning crypto.

As Raoul Pal mentions, this is the state of game theory. One country might ban, another might adopt. If you can't spend (or exchange for fiat) the cryptos in your own country, you might move to another country.

I don't believe Bitcoin will be banned ... at least not while Bitcoin is still a relatively small asset class. Especially since institutional investors are now entering the crypto markets. And perhaps at some point, if enough institutional investors have entered the crypto markets, governments might hesitate to ban crypto, as it could destroy a lot of wealth in pension funds, etc...
Nice, I didn't think that but it makes sense that network hop isn't so slow now. I am surprised RDP to work isn't as slow as I feared, the shared server they give us is a different problem. :)

Or if you log out, if I recall. It just generally doesn't occur to me to wonder if my comments are dead. I'm enough of a social outcast here that if it gets ignored, I figure people were just ignoring it.
Yeah, exactly! - this is why building the perfect spell checker is still a challenging and interesting engineering problem, in 2020. The nature of misspelling varies from language to language, especially with non-letter-based languages like CJK, or with input methods that lead to different sorts of typos than a regular keyboard.

Out of curiosity, what is your native language, Dutch? Can you give an example of something that Google’s spell checker screws up?
Indeed, one could plausibly imagine that happening! But in fact, at Facebook, it doesn’t.

From your link: "The tax on one house, which sold in 2015, is $21,400 a year. Four doors down, the tax is about $1,400 a year."

What is the equivalent of that housing tax in other countries? In Australia, I pay council rates (local roads, garbage pickup, etc) which are about $2k/year, and there would be a further tax if the property was not my primary residence. But $20k is something else again!

While there is some overlap, generally speaking Identity Politics != Ethics. She's an Identity Politics researcher, narrowly focused on race and gender topics.

Perhaps for emulating some big-endian processors (using QEMU or something similar), there's probably a small speed benefit here?
It's too bad they're screwing over blind people who are legitimately using a guide horse[1] instead of a dog. There are trade-offs between the two, but miniature horses live significantly longer and are also much better at guiding around head level obstructions. A guide dog will happily walk its master into a tree branch or so on, even though it will do a great job navigating around ground level obstacles.

Anything beyond that is nothing more than a gimmick imo.
The kernel mediates access to the GPU, isolating between processes, but it doesn't abstract over them very much to provide a uniform API for wildly different GPUs. The kernel exposes more-or-less the low-level API of the GPU chip itself. So, an application that wants to use the GPU without tying itself to a specific GPU will use the OpenGL API/ABI, and link against libGL, and then when installing drivers you'd install the appropriate libGL for whichever graphics card you have, and libGL would implement OpenGL on top of the low-level API exposed by the in-kernel driver for that GPU. (The assumption that most platforms will work this way, not just the Linux kernel, is baked in to the spec of OpenGL.)

On Windows (at least back in the days when I was kinda familiar with Windows), that's pretty much how it really worked: when you installed the drivers for your GPU, a large part of that was just it plopping in its own libGL. A growing part of libGL is actually hardware-neutral OpenGL-related code, and most hardware vendors hold their libGL close to their chest because they're competing on optimizing the hardware-neutral OpenGL code in their libGLs almost as much as they're competing on actual hardware. But in the FOSS world, where the code isn't a secret, all that hardware-neutral OpenGL code can actually be shared between the libGLs for different GPUs, so we've ended up with pretty much just one libGL that supports all the GPUs: Mesa. So Mesa is both the graphics card driver and the hardware-neutral part of OpenGL.

Now, as much as I would like it to be, GNU/Linux isn't just the "FOSS world", we still have proprietary things here: For many years you had to choose between Mesa or your hardware vendor's proprietary libGL, most notably NVIDIA's. Eventually NVIDIA realized that it was problematic to ask users to remove Mesa, especially with the growing occurrence of multi-GPU systems. So NVIDIA coordinated with Mesa to create libglvnd (lib GL vendor neutral dispatch), which can be the libGL, but is thin shim that will dispatch to the "real" libGL implementation (NVIDIA's or Mesa's) as appropriate, so that they can be installed side-by-side.
> My first inclination on that speculative bubble is that it was silly, but I didn't comment on it because I don't know if there were supply and demand conditions to support it

So I researched the Beanie Babies bubble and it also does not seem irrational. Ty Warner encountered a temporary supply chain problem and announced that was permanent, and this was not priced in as in, nobody expected that. Beanie Babies did have high sales before this, and people wanted ones they couldn't get.

The Beanie Babies bubble burst when Ty Warner flooded the market with too many variants at once. He didn't know it at the time and was also more interested in his own revenue.

It is not irrational if the traders factored in the possibility of the market being flooded. Does that include the infamous tale of a divorced couple splitting their Beanie Babies investments on a family courtroom floor? I don't think that matters. This is a hallmark of all markets, a spot commodity that there is more of.

Beanie Babies traded at their retail value after Christmas 1999. It is possible to have sustained above market value, such as with diamonds. Maintain the scarcity properly at the expense of near term revenues.

In relation to crypto, the market doesn't become diluted just because there is "more cryptos", the digital commodities that have known immutable supply and market share occasionally have supply shocks and are expected to have them at greater amplitude.

At this point, I can only draw the line of irrational exuberance at equities and credit market bubbles. And even then, only sometimes. So that gives us South China Sea bubble, and the 90s Tech bubble in the Nasdaq.
Compared to the amount of bullshit we had to to deal with in the 90s and 00s getting Linux running on a laptop, it's a walk in the park. Often it was a choice between mediocre FLOSS drivers or binary blobs from 2-3 private parties... when things even had drivers at all. It's been a while, but how many laptops lack wifi support or require proprietary drivers to work now?

Are the FLOSS drivers for Nvidia's cards great now? How many years have people been hacking on that project to make them work as well as they do?

What people are describing as "Open" is actually an enormous amount of work on the part of developers and the grudging support of hardware vendors after decades of struggle.
It seems to be going well so far. I would say it's around 70% of the way there[0].

What's left is a few major runtimes (OpenJDK, golang is waiting for 1.16 to be released). Many of the packages that are not properly supported either require golang [4], rust [2], mono [3] or java to support arm64.

It's impressive the amount of work Apple has done behind the scenes get M1 support in many open source packages, [1] for example.

Advantage in the sense that they have to store less. 4.3 petabytes times the age of Google in days is way way more than they actually have to store, as the time period when they were adding 4.3 petabytes daily is short in comparison.

On some archs (like POWER), backwards compat with legacy applications is a motivator.

Here, well, I suspect the real primary motivation is "cuz we can!/it's cool!" and the novelty of doing it.

On POWER8/9 where we have both big and little endian, there are people who insist on using big endian with a near religious fervour. The best rationalization I've heard is it tends to break badly written code (little endian is more friendly to misaligned casts), but again, I suspect it's just cuz it's cool and just that much more "unusual".
Personally, I'm in a terminal anyways doing other things. tmux really enables me to compose things together really powerfully.
so kind of a problem here though. I pay for what was google g suite for the "unlimited" storage. I'm at around 13TB stored, it's mostly just backups so not really a huge deal if I lose it. The problem is there's no real way to pay them for this. The new workplace plans are vague about additional storage.

I don't get why companies selling storage cant offer higher and higher plans in say 2tb chunks.
