Yep. Thats the flip side the the growth is that storage capacity keeps growing relative to price as well.

I spent $600 over a decade ago and put 7.5TB in my server. I spent $600 this year to add another 28TB.

This press release is a month old - I didn't notice any new information released. See related article and discussion from early November here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24999975
You created the digital currencies and sold them? So you came up with your own coin then? When was this and how did you convince people to buy it, unless you had an active project for it (or you were intentionally fleecing them)?

You could possibly get away with that a few years ago when people were throwing a bunch of money away on vaporware ICOs, but it's getting cracked down on more now.
Yep, kind of a deal breaker for me, which is a bummer because this almost looks perfect for me. It seems this is a weakness across their product range.

AMD integrated graphics needs a bit of explaining to me is this the performance monster variety or Intel graphics is actually faster type of deal. How many external screens can I drive with this setup?
My main use case for this would be using Darktable. For the same reason I want a good HDPI screen. Otherwise, this would be a development machine (docker, misc jetbrains stuff, homebrew, some data engineering, and all the usual stuff). So looking for ram and CPU that is faster than what I have today (2018 15" MBP).

My mac book pro is literally falling apart (keyboard) at this point and I'm not eager to jump on the ARM bandwagon yet as it will mess up my tool workflow short term (Java, docker, intellij, homebrew) and cause me compatibility headaches I just don't need in my life right now. I am liking the performance though. All the software that I use runs fine on Linux. So, not a hypothetical option for me. I'd be up and running in a few hours with little to no loss of functionality.

I don't care about legacy ports; USB-C dongles are cheap and effective and I have a few in my bag. Likewise with hdmi to usb-c. What I do care about is being able to connect my Thunderbolt USB-C phone, fuji camera, hard drives, external screen, etc. I'm thinking of adding a headphone to that mix. 2 USB-3.2 ports seems like it's limited.
Could it be that this is a very SV problem?
I'm from a European state, I know some people doing programming in Asian regions.
What you are describing to me sounds like a bubble. Or I am in a bubble, IDK.

Yes devices can do less than 10 years ago (less arbitrary thing), but they can also do more than 10 years ago.
Of course the market in this segment might give you the feeling that everything is dumbed down. These devices are not used solely by very smart people.
The most basic of all humans has a phone nowadays. And If apple decides to make MacOS only run singed binaries. That shows that they are targeting people who do not know how to run arbitrary code safely. I am a programmer and when I have to do that I have to think really hard. If my main PC runs stuff that I would rather not like to leave my house. I have to set up a VM and check it beforehand.
You still have Linux to do whatever you want.

If people in the job market and Open Source community are getting exploited, it is only a matter of time until something develops to create a force against the exploitment.
There are unions (at least there should be) and there are multiple ways to fund Open Source nowadays (Patreon, Gitcoin, Bountys,...).

It doesn't seem to me as everything is moving backwards. It is getting harder to live out the freedom of the individual. But on a macro level, I think things are moving forward.

You ... did not read the article, did you?

Cause the thesis is exactly the opposite. The limited space just reinforces the need for single clothing to be good against both cold and warm weather. It does not remove the political need to flaunt wealth by elite either.

I recently got a 2020 Mac mini and I can tell you without hesitation: Linux+Wayland has far superior scaling support than macOS.

macOS only allowed me to run my 3440x1440 display at lower resolutions, but no _actual_ scaling support. The font is around 3mm tall.

Meanwhile, wayland scaling work wonders. The big issue being that xorg-only apps are blurry (it’s recently been fixed in master though).
ARM started on the desktop.
Give me a laptop without speakers, without a camera, native Linux support, AMD CPU and GPU, with usb C charging, support for a fully functional dock with multimonitor support, Asus Zephyrus Pro Duo-style dual screens and, for the love of God, good battery backup. You will have my money.

I've tried to actively go against the approach described in this article when I'm interviewing candidates. We allow thirty minutes for live pairing on a pretty generic task. Candidates are using their own device, so whatever OS; IDE etc they like, with desktop shared by video. The idea is to match the work environment as closely as possible, so all resources are available to them- Google; stack overflow; other people's public projects etc. We don't expect candidates to complete the exercise in the time available but we do see how they tackle it
Tmux is great for persistence. It’s also basically required for working remotely. Allows you to, across sessions, to reconnect to the same flow. I have it set up to have multiple views of the same set of windows, so I can scroll through them independently.

Project Loom and Structured Concurrency
I'm not American but I've used US styled keyboards forever but I fixed my touch typing a while ago after typing while hunting for keys for 16 years so I use blank keyboards everywhere. Not to disparage the need that you have but you should look into learning to touch type. Practice in the dark without keyboard backlight. It's hard enough to find a laptop that meets our needs these days, I can only imagine how hard it must be to also be looking for i8n.
I have to say I cringe a bit when I see terms like this and it's oddly off-putting to me.

It's a little like if you're shopping for a video game console or a phone and can't get a straight answer on anything due to children arguing over which brand's product they like better all over the internet.

I get that it's just terminology but it's always struck me as odd that buyers would affiliate themselves so strongly with a brand in an open, competitive marketplace.

At least between (for example) Android and iPhones there are objective differences that might matter to you in picking one or the other, but for internal components that fundamentally don't impact how the device works it seems odd to have such strong feelings about it.

Surely all I care about as the consumer is if this laptop is objectively better for my use case than my other options in its price range?

Your examples are excellent in pointing out the many to many mapping during the simplification process. Many people assume chinese characters are somehow "static" and that the modern traditional characters are not aggregately mapped from older characters. Your last point is also very important as the top questions I've come across language learning forums is traditional vs simplified. This seemingly trivial issue to people fluent in Chinese often get exaggerated and politicized to the detriment of Chinese learners. The best analogy I can think of between traditional vs simplified is akin to American English vs British English, except English learners don't make a big fuss about which version they should learn first.
Complaining about life adversities on social media in a hyperbolic race / gender wrapping, 'constantly dehumanized', is a recent widespread phenomenon. The heroine of this story happens to embody this novel behavior, which used to be a whole lot more private and a whole lot less race / gender driven. Not sure where 'ideology' enters the picture, it's a reasonably truthful observation from someone that is old enough to remember life before social media.
I used to think this way too, up until this summer when I spent a lot of time at my parent's house working from the garden.

My personal pc is a 2013 MBP, so glossy screen. My work pc is a hp probook 430 g5 (~2 years old) with a matte screen.

The one that I would take out in the garden when it was sunny was the mac. Sure, I could see myself in it, I had to set the backlight to 100%, but it was possible to focus my eyes such that the text on screen was actually readable. Of course, this implies black text on white background and to sit in such a way as not to have too contrasty a background.

The matte screen of the HP was completely useless. It was just a big blotch of white, it was next to impossible to see the text. I even took out an actual external monitor once to try it out, a Dell P2415Q with a backlight that's blinding inside. Same problem.

Now sure, when there's not a high level of ambient light, the matte screen is more easy to use as there are no reflections. But as soon as there's a source of light that shines on it (and there are cases when you can't control it) it's game over.

Protip: clean the macbook screen from time to time. Even if it doesn't look dirty. I wear glasses, so I use the cleaning spray on the screen. It always amazes me how much better it is afterwards.
I think testing whether someone can recall the implementation of quick sort and has practiced writing it quickly is not really testing for building complexity or solving problems.

It’s testing for practiced solutions of memorized algorithms and a bit of role play.

I get there’s some IQ challenge to preparing this and it’s hard to evaluate skill, but I don’t think this tests much beyond that.

Want to test true basic programming capacity? Do fizz buzz, ask someone to reverse names in a string with loops - everyone should be able to do that without thinking.

That’s actual basic stuff.

High level or more complexity? Discuss a relevant problem the company needs to solve and how they’d approach it.

Better yet discuss a problem and debug it together. Most programming is debugging anyway.

Quoting Jeff Dean's email about this (as published in https://www.platformer.news/p/the-withering-email-that-got-a...) " I also feel badly that hundreds of you received an email just this week from Timnit telling you to stop work on critical DEI programs. Please don’t. I understand the frustration about the pace of progress, but we have important work ahead and we need to keep at it." implies that at least Google does interpret her email as her telling people to stop work on certain issues.

Hilarious. As if “stickers” will change the amount of keys the keyboard has and the shape of Enter and Backspace, etc.

FWIW though, I do recommend trying out US English International. For programming it’s lovely (once you adapt, which is surprisingly fast), and you can also type German, Spanish and others on a single layout.

It’s also the easiest to find from most manufacturers.
>"When a free neutron bumps into the atom, it splits the nucleus, throwing off additional neurons, which can then zing into the nuclei of nearby U-235 atoms, creating a self-sustaining cascade of nuclear fission.

The fission events each generate heat."

OK, but...

Here's my question:

If heat is related to fission -- then is fission related to heat?

In other words, in the conventional Physics of the present day, Physicists have assumed that fission causes heat.

But what if the reverse were also true?

What if heat, heat itself -- was fission?

?

How would this be true, you may ask?

Well, if we use a billard ball model of particles, and we say that fission is some of these billard ball particles being bounced around in certain ways, then maybe heat is the exact same process, the exact same pattern!

...Or, maybe heat is the same process as fission, just at a smaller/faster or larger/slower particle size...

In other words, the bounce patterns might be the same -- even though the scale at which they occur might be different...

Like, maybe radiation/fission can be equated to a billard table with really small balls, and maybe heat can be equated to a table with larger billard balls...

Or perhaps the reverse is true... perhaps the particles/billard balls used for the fission are larger than those of heat, even though both types are still really small...

OK, so if that's true then why doesn't conventional heat generate radioactivity, you may ask?

Ah, but I'll bet heat does, at least to a microscopic degree!

But the radioactivity that the heat generates is comprised of particles that have lesser ability to penetrate space, much less be detected, in other words, we imagine a barrier of 1 millimeter of air -- 1 mm! -- as enough of a barrier to stop the emanated particle/wave!

Think of it like this... to block alpha particles, a thin sheet of paper is sufficient... But with gamma particles, you might need yards of lead...

Well, same thing, but with air and heat... The air blocks the particles being radiated by the heat, and the reason they aren't being detected as "radiation" is because they're at a different wavelength (infrared?).

Anyway, that's the case for looking at heat and fission as the same pattern, the same thing, but each is just relative to a scale...

Disclaimer: All of the above -- is a crackpot theory only(!), and should only be treated as such. <g>

(In legal terms, it would be considered rampant "conjecture, speculation and hearsay". <g>)
This is also bullshit. Had this type of interview before, and the interviewer has no ducking clue and don’t know how to explain a situation.
I visited the Faroes 4 years ago. Locals were proud of their cold storage industry. Fish from North Atlantic trawlers flash frozen many hours earlier than delivery to the continent. Lucrative.

I've been running git lfs without a webserver on my local NAS with lfs-folderstore[0] without a problem, and it doesn't require a webserver (and can also be used over SSH via sshfs). I can understand wanting such functionality bundled with git lfs, but all the different options seem very opinionated to me in ways that there isn't a clear "default" choice. To me custom transfer agents and transports never felt like an afterthought, and fit quite nicely into there.

My main problems with git lfs were more UX problems where certain workloads are not as well supported (e.g. keeping only a portion of the LFS files local).
