That's beside the point.

There are a lot of non high dpi devices out there. The majority of screens are. Whether it's your personal one (and you can't or don't want to change it) or a professional one (and your company may not want or be able to justify changing dozens of screens), you need to use them.

It's possible to display properly and cleanly on them, everyone else does it. It's not as great as on a high dpi obviously, but it's perfectly sevicable for its need.

Apple with osx is the only major os that fails to do it, either through incompetence, malice or just pure disdain for their users facing that scenario.

Automation benefits cities as well, you know. For instance computers probably drastically reduces the number of manual processing of paperwork. That's tax money you can use for something else.
With all of these advantages why don't the PS5 and XboxSeriesX use ARM? Do they have plans to for the next generation?
> It’s interesting that ivy students are trying to use their pedigree to get into tech. Tech itself isn’t impressed by an ivy university degree like other professions, nor does it really look for one in applicants.

I used to believe that, since I knew so many self taught coders become pretty successful 10-15 years ago. But the typical Stanford grad to FAANG route has become a total laughable mockery of its former 'build shit to gain a reputation' ethos but explains why their is so much corruption in University admissions.

You can still be pretty successful without a university degree with the right connections, but now with so much unemployment and significant applicant noise to signal ratio I think we will continue to see this as the norm. Which is how so many founders get their start anyhow; Elon's story of being a shy nerd waiting in the lobby of a tech company hoping to talk to someone to no avail comes to mind being perhaps the most famous of this phenomenon.

With that said, I think this how the toxic Ivy league mentality of entitlement happens; they often justify their entitlement as something they deserve after years/decades of not 'living life enough.'
Yet they still have that restaurant that closed 5 years ago.
I'm using the existing PoE hat on several Pi4's in a production environment and it works great. Never had shutdowns or issues with power. Note that I'm not drawing extra power from any of the USB ports, so perhaps the existing PoE hat isn't sufficient when you have USB devices attached to the pi4.

Posted before I saw this comment. Yes passive cooling is fine with recent firmware and a good heatsink case.

Old firware and bad cases will though.

Thats an extremely restrictive definition of zero sum. If that were the normal definition most transactions would be considered zero sum.

But its not. Zero sum has to do with the utility provided to each side of the transaction. I may have a completely different desire to own a future than you. Perhaps my portfolio needs less risk or my predicted oil needs have changed. In those cases I gain a lot of utility by being able to move out of the future into cash, even if later you make more than I would have by selling it.
Yeah that's the impression I get every time. Just think about it. The most power hungry desktop core needs 20W and going all the way from 4Ghz to 4.8Ghz is easily the difference between 10W and 20W. Apple's TDP for the entire package is 30W. They can trivially just overclock their CPU to the same performance level of any desktop. Nothing surprising here but everyone sells this like some amazing thing. In practice they use less power because the SoC is fully integrated, they have the 5nm process advantage and there are special processes for mobile chips that consume less power below 4GHz.

Consider for one second that in theory the M1 is technologically superior because it can decode double the instructions per second and yet it still is only consuming 2x times less power but at the cost of delivering worse performance on a superior manufacturing process. A lot of hard work with very little to show for it.

Then include heterogeneity of approach in your ranking system. Even if we do this we still have a rank order from which we can select the N best and give them a scalable platform through which they can reach large numbers, and be better off than under the archaic approach of a bijective mapping from random teacher X to Y students (Y less than 200), where the quality of X is probably dominated in a Pareto sense by any single teacher in the top N.

Caveat here that I'm no expert in pedagogy, but I would also say that this fits well with the part of the teaching process that can be scaled with no downsides, eg lectures. But TA sessions etc can't be scaled as well and such an approach wouldn't fit.

Interestingly I've made a successful career in this field in the opposite way it sounds like you did. I dropped out of college for unforseen circumstances and had to self-learn things like maths, data structures, and algorithms as academics routinely use these as litmus tests in interviews.

My learning wasn't social. It was spent during my breaks at my dead end jobs, after work, etc. If I found a topic I didn't understand there was no tutoring, professor to reexplain, or even friends to ask (for a long time I didn't know many people in this industry)

The result is that I learn new things quite easily, I can usually distill topics down easily for folks or represent them in a multitude of ways, I'm unafraid of failure, and I don't spend my workdays socializing. I still enjoy socializing, just not at work.

This is why meetings at companies seem so frivolous. What could be communicated in an email, slack message, or hallway conversation is left to a meeting and I often wondered if it's just because these folks want free lunch and some socialization.

I think I am gonna take this with a grain of salt, meaning as the rant that it is :)

It's valuable to hear some dissident voice from time to time because 100% agreement on trending paradigms always creates the risk for the new generations to jump to the cargo cult ship and accept the common wistom as a dogma, instead of appreciating with own reasonment the current state of suggested practices.

As always, virtue lies in the middle and computing is no exception: I was professionally born in the age of in house racks where every SME would own a handful of servers and sysadmins would plan whether colocating applications or buying new iron that had to be accomodated somewhere in the DC.
There have been very good reasons to switch from monoliths/SOAs to microservices and from bare-metal to containers/FaaS, reasons that I personally would not trade back for the bad old days of manual deployments: microservices offered live patching of systems with no downtime and imposed design by contract to ensure verifiability of single cogs inside the big clockworks, instead of having to run the full stack in own laptop to ensure end-to-end functioning.

I think the point of the article is really how bad is to swtich to new paradigms for use cases that are well served with single application, single server monoliths (internal inventory management systems, for example) just to change ship and "do what the others are doing".

Yes, the cloud is conceptually the new mainframe, but usability has also improved a lot: the user experience created agility and the agility created the opportunism that creates the commoditization of infrastructure. Is Heroku a sustainable use case for production? No, but it is super for development. Heroku is feedback loop for product development as smalltalk was for pure development.

So it is probably true that following blindly market trends just for the sake of it is a very bad idea, but the author seems also to be suggesting "Java monoliths or die!" which I don't agree upon.

"...to preclude such activity because we are surrounded by stimuli and activity that distracts people and gives them things to do and think about."

You're right. In my opinion, one of the best examples of this is to be seen in our films, videos and multimedia presentations, etc. With very few exceptions, extremely tight editing is now the norm, scenes are cut to within an inch of incomprehension and there's rapid switching from one scene to another and back again. We now have the ridiculous situation where scene switching is so rapid that the set designer's work is in vain as the viewer has hardly sufficient time to comprehend the foreground material let alone the background scenery. (You can easily test this by recording some typical video then playing it back and asking typical viewers to explain what they've seen. It's devastatingly informative in the negative sense in that they miss almost everything!)

From my observation, this fast, ever-changing stimuli is harmful from the perspective that people now have a shallower grasp on reality/everyday things around them than they once did when times weren't quite so fast. What's more troubling is that there seems to be no attempt to make people aware of the fact.
It is not greed, it is ego. Apple as a whole has an ego complex and it shows in so much of what they do. They always, to the point of harping, emphasize the Pro label and premium experience and premium materials. Even their head quarters is an expression of pure ego.

So when compared to other companies which do put out products with similar materials the difference is that Apple never reaches low. They won't sacrifice their premium material usage and expression to reach lower end markets.

Air Pods Max might be the situation backfiring on them. They were so wrapped up in having aluminum enclosures for the headphones they ended up with an overweight and overpriced to many product. It is going to be real curious what a lower cost version of these entail; the rumor is they will come but when and of what materials?

Pascal is throwing light and expounding upon a weakness found in (most) people, that of depending on distractions to prevent themselves from dwelling on thoughts which remind them of their mortal nature.

I didn't read his works enough, none apart from the above quote in fact, to comment on whether or not he recommends acknowledging our inner thoughts and contemplating on them.

As for me, I feel real and lasting relief from worshipping Allaah. It's something very tangible and enlightening. It might seem counterintuitive, but it does boost my productivity a lot, even though I ignore thinking about work during prayer.

Now, having belief in Allaah has its manifest benefits. I am happy as I write this. I am able to keep afloat a bit in trying times. I was able to come out of depression (and quite a few other mental illnesses). None of it I could achieve except by Allaah's help.

When I used to go to hospital for psychiatric treatment, the doctor used to advise me that whenever I feel anxious, I lie down on a bed, relax and think of some beautiful place, in order to ward off the bad feelings. So, even the best advice the doctor could give me was this.

And what better place to think of than Paradise?

What Pascal was explicit in saying is that there is no inherent happiness in material possessions. But if you know that there is a life after death, that there is a Paradise and a Hell, that there is a Merciful God who, if you believe in Him and obey Him, will reward you for you good deeds and forgive your bad deeds, you will be humble, you will be hopeful, and you will be happy.

Comparing single core performance between laptops and desktops is an apples to apples comparison. The Ryzen uses 20W on a turbo boosted core, it uses less when you utilize all cores. Same for Apple which needs 10W for a single core and the whole package is 35W. There is way enough headroom to turbo boost to 20W.

The reason why there is a 20W vs 10W difference between the Ryzen and Apple chip is that Apple uses 5nm and the Ryzen clocks way higher (and thereby performs better). There is no free lunch where Apple can double their performance and mop up anything because AMD can just manufacture with 5nm and reduce their clock boost to reach the same per core power consumption. And it turns out this is exactly what they do on their laptop chips. Just reduce the clock speed and watch the power efficiency pour in.

If anything it's Apple that is backed into a corner because they are in a local optimum from which they can only escape by sacrificing their primary competitive advantage. Ramping up the clock speed ruins power efficiency.

It's not that difficult to have a reasonably modern desktop PC idling more in the 10-20W range. For 100W you need to do something seriously wrong, or add extras that would blow up the Pi usage too (e.g. a home server full of hard disks will of course use more power, but so would Pis with the same number of drives)
