Something similar happened to me once - I used faulty ram for about a year (it worked most of the time, and when it didn't, it typically became apparent within a few minutes of booting the system, so it was a minor annoyance at worst). One of the times it didn't work, I noticed all of my programs were being killed by the OOM reaper, even though I had just started the system. After running free in a spare terminal, I realized it was reporting that I had roughly INT_MAX memory in use, and so it was deciding to kill basically everything to try and get back to having a non-negative amount of free memory left. There must have been memory corruption in some kernel data structure somewhere that deals with memory allocation.

I rebooted and it never happened again, but it was pretty funny running free and seeing those ridiculous numbers pop up. I was kind of amazed the rest of the system was even working at all.
Your comment is childish.

Indeed.
He's not; cats are notorious for hunting for pleasure. I love cats; I've owned many. They are little killing machines.
They do have a shot on https://www.apple.com/mac/m1/ (the first non-logo image) which looks like it matches up (you'll need to rotate one by 180°). So it's not like they're hiding it or actively avoiding it. It apparently just doesn't suit their needs.
You don't need an electron microscope to discern large-scale repeated structures like CPU and GPU cores, or to tell the difference between random logic and highly regular memory arrays (usually cache, but sometimes you can see microcode or register files if you look at a small enough area). An electron microscope is only useful if you want to fully reverse-engineer the entire circuit schematic, but that's overkill for basically any purpose except manufacturing your own clone.
Yeah, because of the Humans Can't Do Things Twice law. You ain't bright.
Some scattered thoughts.

I'd recommend talking with your friends, and asking them if they find their work fulfilling. If it falls short of their expectations, ask which dimensions contribute the most to the diff.

This might give you some perspective on what life would be like in another vertical. It probably isn't as rosy as you imagine, but you might have done this already.

I would recommend to younger people, that they shouldn't make their career choice through the lens of prestige, because time has demonstrated that social standing is flimsy and unpredictable.

A profession's relative prestige varies regionally, temporally, socioeconomically, and in the eye of the beholder. These are mutable dimensions for the duration of a normal career.

It's kind of like the old advice: if you're interested in marrying someone for life, don't marry based on one dimension alone (looks, money, health, personality, family). Any of these can invert completely.

In finance terms, it's like betting your financial portfoilo on the 40-year performance of a single ETF: not outright stupid because some people will be successful, but it's not super wise.

If this doesn't help you feel better, maybe you should consider changing careers? As a SWE, you have enough intellectual capital, time and domain-specific education is the only thing standing in your way.
If you mean the online quiz, that is a screening funnel for the video interview, which (as of some years ago, don't know about now) was fairly involved.

The online quiz itself wasn't difficult if you knew what you were doing, but it seemed well designed to discern clueful candidates from those who needed to brush up. I know people who took it and didn't pass.
My comment is on the query for account takeover if you notice
There are no options that push pixel clocks that native RAMDACs can. The Delock 26297 (which needs to be imported from Germany) can hit about 250 MHz, which is enough for most uses. Unfortunately, the connector is total rubbish and causes serious signal integrity issues. I have two and one of them can barely hit 150 MHz.

There is a USB-C option which can supposedly hit 300 MHz.

RAMDACs hit 400 MHz. It’s a real shame they’re not in new cards. Hence my point: VGA is dead because it isn’t in new hardware.
SupCom's still active, through Forged Alliance Forever. I got back into it a couple of months back and was pleasantly suprised by how easy it was to find a game.
Cursors are stateful. This greatly complicates the design of the backend.

First, you have to maintain state in some kind of session on the app server.

Second, if you have more than one app server, you'll have to share the sessions across them using Redis or Hazelcast or something.

Third, cursors have to be closed, which means you have to know when the user is done with the result set. This is impossible to know. The user could go to page 2 and then go to lunch. So you have to leave it open for a while, and then have some kind of timeout. Have a lot of users doing the same thing? Memory fills, both on the app server and in the database server.

Fourth, your cursor is going to leave a transaction open, which interferes with updates and all kinds of other things.

Fifth, most users never go to page 2 anyway. They run another search.

Keeping cursors open in a web app is a spectacularly bad idea.

UPDATE -- I am in error. The article does not recommend a normal database cursor. Disregard my comment.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind another, with its own twist.
Why did you open source it?

And what was the reason you chose the particular license model?
> Do you have any specific recommendations for how/where to buy these?

I like LG, but its not available online to purchase. You have to go through a vendor (I fucking hate that). You can buy some model online on ebay and other places, but they are expensive. You can search for "pro:idiom TV". pro:idiom is a encryption protocol that TV provider uses. TVs are connected directly to the provider cable without a cable box. Pro:idiom is required for HBO.

Its very easy to obtain a digital copy but HBO still requires that their channel must be encrypted.
> How do you distribute it then?

You distribute a script and whoever runs the potential violation assembles it themselves, like with zfs on Linux.

I don't really get the demarcations typically made since a proprietary media could conceivably be as hard to pull apart as using linking tools to break apart sections of a static binary again..

I get the general sense that people work around examples of what one interpretation says isn't allowed without getting many opinions on the work around.
Only bottles are affected so you can just compile from source with homebrew
No. For many algorithms, AVX isn't a 2x speedup over SSE. Especially when lanes are conditionally masked.

Often you are happy to get a 1.25x speed up with AVX. Sometimes it actually goes slower.

If you were to emulate that code with a 1.25x speedup with AVX on the M1, you would end up with all the disadvantages of going to 8-wide, but with none of the speedup.

That 1.25x speedup is halved and the emulated AVX code actually runs at about 0.625x the speed of the emulated SSE code path.
Interesting. So I think I technically have AWD, but I do have a transfer case with a 2X reduction available and a locking center diff.
I agree wit you 100%

This is the aspect that I wish was implemented in my favourite games such as Stellaris since disrupting the logistics of the enemy and protecting your own requires a much more thoughtful setup by players

* Where to site supply dumps for front-line forces

* how to protect them

* how to get supplies to where they are needed safely from your home world / base to these supply dumps and then to the front lines.

* how to keep forces supplied if you break-through enemy lines

* How to disupt the enemies logistics

Without things like the above the games usually devolve into "Bigger army / fleet wins, with a bit of rock/paper/scissor based on unit composition"
What are some higher status jobs where I can use my above average ability to work with computers and sheer tenacity to compensate for my woefully underdeveloped social skills?
That life isn’t for everyone, and it doesn’t work out for everyone. But it’s also worth considering the average person. The average person isn’t going to be professionally successful, or travel the world, or do anything significant. But they can raise kids who probably love them and come to thanksgiving, etc. I think our modern ways of thinking are leaving the typical person behind.
> of leetcode and go work for FAANG

I work at a FAANG and the people that I work with aren't terribly different social status from the ones I worked with during my first internship, they're just ~20 years younger.
I spoke inartfully, as this was a moment to recognize him and not to dump on his faith. My intent was to acknowledge the life of a good man in the service of an organization I disagree with.

I think it's worth examining those institutions in a "hacker" sense but quite a few others here don't share that opinion.
There have been many theories about what to do to cure underground railways of overheating, but I have seen no evidence of monitoring to demonstrate the origin of the heats and how it progresses. One thing is certain - the problem is worse in the summer so reducing operational heat which is year-round will not hack it. Besides Glasgow, Warsaw and Prague do not overheat and they, obviously produce operational heat! So, I believe I have found the only answer that fits the evidence! Please see https://www.railbusinessdaily.com/a-reflective-perspective-t...
Not that kind of cursor. There is no state on the server / in the database and nothing to close.

> Generally, you have some ordering criteria, for example, product id. In this case, you’ll encode your product id with some reversible algorithm (let’s say hashids). And on receiving a request with the cursor you decode it and generate a query like `WHERE id > :cursor LIMIT 100`.
I wish there were real / usable Windows containers out there. I'd love to spin up a quick sandbox to run a MSVC / MSBuild, but the smallest "image" in Windows-land for that is 12Gb.

Still use Docker alongside WSL2 for purely-Linux stuff like some node.js scripts or python things that don't need GPU.
My goals are about the same, and sometimes I worry whether they're ambitious enough. But they really are. It takes a very particular reference frame to make them "simple" or "modest." $120k is a 90th percentile income! And that's among people working full time for it.
It reminds me a lot of "The Guy I Almost Was" (Patrick Sean Farley) http://www.electricsheepcomix.com/almostguy/ . It's an old (from the early 2000s) comic about trying to get into the tech scene in the 90s. Alternate life paths are explicitly explored.

Your mom is the crack-whore of 1995.
The RTS genre isn't really stuck - it's dead. Blizzard killed it. Studios left the genre when SC2 came out because at the time it was launched, SC:BW was, literally, e-sports. Power user players sought legitimacy for their games, hoping it would rise up to occupy that position, in the form of punishing, unfun mechanics. The result was that for a 4 year period prior to the release of SC2, games patched themselves to death to cater to the complaints of competitive players, players who promptly dropped the games they tailored to themselves for SC2.

Following SC2's announcement, RTS games almost stopped being developed entirely - no studio wanted to compete with blizzard's release. Unfortunately, Blizzard created a game which had very little of the UMS lobby scene, and very little of the captivating visual spectacle of SC:BW.

Blizzard's response to the decline of SC2 was made very clear very early; they didn't see the point in investing further in the genre when Hearthstone and WoW both featured recurring revenue and SC:BW had it's popularity owed to recurring fan based content at a set upfront price.
> smart policies and responsible governance

Agreed, they certainly have some people in charge with their heads screwed on right. From October's NPR interview [1] with "digital minister" Audrey Tang (of myriad Perl fame):

> There was a case when a worker in an intimate drinking bar was diagnosed with COVID. She did not initially review the contact because of, you know, professional requirements. But, of course, that will hurt the reliable information requirement for contact tracing. And we did not, however, do any top-down, shutdown, takedown, lockdown of those places.

> But rather, the people in the CECC, because they already had extensive prior experience working with HIV-positive communities - so they designed what we call a real contact system. So as long as people can be effective contacted and also social distancing requirements are met, no data is sent to the central government. And so they develop creative approaches such as leaving codenames, single-use email, pre-paid mobile phone numbers, hats with the plastic chuting to maintain physical distancing. And then they reopened."

> And there's no storage device, so you can't swap.

There's the cartridge. And yes, while technically that's supposed to be ROM, flashcarts like the EverDrive are able to get creative with that, and I can see that being a viable pathway to achieving something approximately resembling swapping.
Is there any long-form documentation (specifically an optimization manual) for M1 yet?.

Currently the only details I can find about the microarchitecture is either press waffle or things reverse engineered via timing (you can look for bumps in graphs to find the widths of various speculative features of the CPU).

It would be very Apple not to publish any (Fucking sad if true)

Edit: Intel, like them or not, have genuinely very good documentation (Much better than AMD's) and seem to have really thought about actually using their performance - AMD can really deliver the goods on their terms, but they still lag behind in both software (particular compared to Nvidia) and documentation (Intel's optimization manual is 850 pages; AMD's is 45 pages). AMD basically give you a raw list of RDPMC event assignments to play with, Intel actually tell you how to use them.
In the short term, perhaps it's fun.

What happens when open computing goes away? When creativity is dictated by one company. Certainly competition with that company will be banned, as it is on iOS. The term 'most users' will slowly shrink until it encompasses no one but consumers.

This is the wrong direction. We should be trending to even more open computers. Not appliances that can also run python scripts.
lol, which FAANG is this? I have friends that joined Goldman at the same time as I started working, and I make more and work less.
I haven't given up, I'm still here, still working in software. I'm just doing it my way now, with some new priorities, I suppose. The military is a complex subject for me and my friends. There are good things I can say and there are awful things I can say. Regardless, I will always be proud of what I did and accomplished in that time. It makes me proud you've made something of post-service life though, veterans will always hold a special place in my mind.
I'm torn about your comment.

In principle, I agree with the fact that studying failures teaches one more, whether more is better when it comes to learning stands to be discussed, however.

What I mean by this is that, although you may profit from your parents sharing a plethora of don't-dos such as avoiding drugs, staying away from toxic relationships, not dwelling on your insecurities, et cetera, having regular abstract conversations about how "thinking deeply about my predicament, my objectives and how to reach them despite the former" might be much more useful to you.

In short, the first approach teaches you, potentially, numerous, isolated lessons about specific circumstances you will likely never face. Yes, you certainly learned more things, but whether those things will be useful to you, particularly, is unclear and only time can tell.

If you and your parents, however, have a thorough discussion about what allowed them to lead a happy life, as in the second scenario, both pushing and pulling, trying to discover what it really was and looking to find consensus regarding attitudes, processes, ideas, roadblocks, etc, you might learn a framework what will be useful forever, regardless of the concrete circumstances you are faced with.

Nevertheless, this comment of yours is spot on:

> people who succeed rarely have much luck identifying which selection of choices got them there.

Therefore, I really emphasize that not only the mentor should share the reasons and methods behind their success, the listener must be able to understand why and whether they were as useful as the mentor portrays them.
I once pitched a startup idea that would enable this if I was given "infinite money and infinite time". Most folks ignored it, but my elderly parents still tell me to start a business to work on this right now
An incredible breadth of data has gone into this prediction tool which I had never even heard of.
Raising kids is what every single one of your ancestors did. It’s entirely orthogonal to those other things.
Yes indeed. One can criticize a government without talking bad about a race, ethnicity, or religion.
Yes, but for whatever reason the M1 is clocked at 60GB/s with Intel's best being around 45GB/s, from what I've read.
So maybe I was quick to comment, but I glanced at the images I have sitting around and python:3.7 is 876MB. However, python:3.7-slim is 112MB (still nearly twice the size of the image you describe, though). But it's conceivable that many people running into limitations with the slim image would just opt for the full Python image instead.

Maybe a better example is the Tensorflow image, which is close to 4GB for the GPU version. It's also the kind of thing that would be a pain to rebuild from scratch if you wanted to find a way to save space.
You sort by your fields and then by id. You also include those field values along with id into your “cursor”. This is complicated for general case but possible to implement.
Use less friction braking and more regenerative braking. This might mean adding bettery banks to absorb energy - later used as tractions, as they do in many electric cars. Often the power can not be dumped into the electricity lines for engineering reasons. This might effect some heat as well as cost savings, but needs a detailed study
There is a list of features here:

Or are you looking for more detail, like the width of the decode pipeline or depth of the reorder buffer?

I would think that a majority of software engineers don’t know what those are, fewer still would understand the significance compared other chips.
I think there's a lot more to it than status, but I do see your point.

Yep, just inverse your conditions and sorting and you’ve got previous page.
This is not about database cursors.
You could enable a batch hint in the API. The server has the option to allocate a cursor if one is available. Best of both worlds.
If one is on a tablet, would suggest MarginNote as it has tags & folders. Additionally, there’s a notion of a Study Document and with this, you can combine material from several sources and creat mind maps or hierarchical notes that will take you to the exact location.
With laughs we have been told about this reddit article using a message to using the cartel website. Many times have the client looked at our proposal and files list since 12 october, many times they have not agreed and insulted us.

Indefinitely. It's not the kind of cursor that a database gives out, which is a resource. A cursor in this context is just a pointer to some position in a set of results, something like "all results where date created is greater than $X". For SQL implementations, check out:

“Just because something is easy to measure doesn’t mean it’s insightful. Just because something can’t be measured easily doesn’t mean it isn’t.”

But if you can’t or don’t measure “it”, there is a very good chance it is because you really don’t understand it well...which is a problem. Your, perhaps misguided, belief that you have actual insight is what is problematic.

Hard to manage or meaningfully intervene in something for which you don’t have a good, accurate mental model...nouns (via data) and verbs (via process flows and other formalisms).

Instead of using the usual management quote by Harrington, let me cite Lord Kelvin

“When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science.”

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/166961-when-you-can-measure...

There are important things that cannot be easily measured, or objectively measured to any significant degree. But you spend significant money and resources on these things at your (or Society’s) peril, because you have no idea whether you are doing any good. (Except to those who directly benefit financially, ego, etc.. If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can absolutely count on the support of Paul. Taking Paul’s advice on these matters might be unwise.)

As an aside, you may not want to go full-bore Taylorism,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management

but higher education processes are amenable to measurement. The fundamental problem is it is in no one’s best personal or political interest in Higher Education to actually measure, much less test and improve, anything at a process level.
Do you also understand that once you have any image built on top of python:3.7 then that 876MB doesn't need to be downloaded again for subsequent images?

> the Tensorflow image is really big

This is kind of meaningless without comparing it to how large Tensorflow is with related dependencies if you just install it centrally?
