Call me cynical, but Stebbins likely faces a decade long legal battle which shell very likely end up settling to be done with it, the board members will get even better jobs in or out of government, and the $200 million will remain missing. Yknow, justice.
Do we know what benefit they're getting by putting the memory on the chip to begin with? I had initially assumed there was some non-trivial performance advantage in it, but now people are saying not so much, so why did they do it?

It seems weird to artificially limit the max memory if there was no advantage in it.

This is true, retail Thinkpads are targeted at businesses so they’re priced fairly high. I’m sure many companies negotiate lower rates.
Most of the reason you see these laptops so widely recommended is the secondhand market. Once those businesses buy new machines, the used market gets flooded with the old ones. This, combined with the repairability and upgradability of many models makes them pretty competitive machines if you shop for a used one that isn’t the latest model. Macs hold value better, which means used models are comparatively quite expensive.

I’ll second your experience though. I’ve used many machines, including daily driving both a Mac and Thinkpad currently for work, and find I prefer the Thinkpad. It has excellent Linux support (even fingerprint reader works on latest Ubuntu) and an excellent keyboard. The trackpad isn’t as good, but I prefer the nipple mouse.
Mindustry is a tower defense game that has some RTS strategies, especially when playing with other human players. You have to stock your defensive units with ammo by drawing (and defending) conveyors with resources (different minerals and/or energy) that feed them.

(Just noticed Factorio is mentioned below; Mindustry is similar, but also Open Source cross platform Java)
With window tiling capabilities on pretty much every OS/WM these days, it really doesn't make sense to throw the kitchen sink into the editor.
I've worked with nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in my postdoc, and now in my own lab, and I'm quite shocked that anyone would rely on UV absorption measurements. They're inherently insensitive, and suffer from unreliability and reagent interference. Especially when they were taken over PCR based methods.

It's a remarkable f*ck up for a clinical trial. These decisions should have been made with data from gold standard analytical methods.
Goldman banking associates do not make 500k lmao. you are smoking something

500 at Goldman is like VP with some tenure, which would be similar to E6 at Facebook

Hell Goldman sales and trading managing directors make 750-900k a year, which is what a good E7 at Facebook makes, both usually reached by age 33-35 by high achievers.
The Great Migration Mystery
If everything is a priority, nothing is.

For me it's been helpful to understand who benefits from my actions in that particular moment, and then prioritized the ones where I benefit too.

In personal finance context they say to pay yourself first. I think this also applies when e.g. prioritizing health. And when paying yourself first, this also means doing things when most energy is available and leaving other things for when you're tired.

> On a Mac, there is a major performance hit whenever you do disk IO in a bind mount (i.e. voluming a directory of the host system into the container). Working without bind mounts is extremely limiting.

In my opinion, this is a big enough issue as to throw the whole idea of “Docker as cross-platform platform/target” into major question.

When running more than a few containers on macOS, the performance is so bad it becomes almost unusable.
If most people are using a word to mean something different, doesn't that mean the meaning of the word has changed?

I spent hours debugging an issue that boiled down to an IPV4 parser that treated leading zeroes as octal.
Connections to 192.168.123.100 worked as expected. Connections to 192.168.123.034 went to 192.168.123.28. I thought sure it was an issue in my TCP client code, which was handling connections to hundreds of different devices.

Guilty party was Poco::Net library if I recall correctly. I can maybe see this making sense if you provide four octal digits (0377), but not three, and I have a hard time believing anybody has ever used this on purpose.
The wireless side of this is band 14, which is shared with regular consumers but FN customers get priority and the band can be restricted to FN only customers.
Hell yes I would. Sure, you can’t change the past, sure , you can work now to try to correct those past mistakes, but often they’re made too expensive to be worth fixing now.
This is one of the reasons why I appreciate the geekiness of Cloudflare with their DNS service IP addresses, particularly:

I use email thyself to capture links, snippets and images.

Move them out to plain text files whenever I have the time. These are just text files. I add lines that begin with some keywords like "topic:", "source:" "subject:", etc.
Semi regularly, check these into my git repo and sync then into my nvalt dir.

This way I can search by topic, search by date, find files with no topics, group links by domains, run stats over them, extract links for any topic, download those links into a single pdf onto my kindle, group them by year, find where I get my most interesting links, cache and index the content of the links themselves.

The act of moving from email to plain text to git keeps things in shape without going out of control. I don't care if any of the services or sources are dead, things are backed up in my email + git + devices I use.

I also got pretty good at awk, grep, cut and sort working with this.

The Food Stylist Who Creates Hollywood's Unreal Dishes and Drinks
Reminds me of the famed Jacques Brel song 'La chanson de Jacky' - He sings through many possible exotic futures for himself, but what he really wants to do is return to his childhood where he can be "Beau, beau, beau et con à la fois" ("Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and stupid at the same time")
There are more legitimate reasons. If you are one of the few people who live in a radio quiet zone, or if you suspect 2.4GHz interference with other 2.4GHz radios you use, or if you develop and test RF gear, you'd want to be able to disable the radio.
So Apple corruptly bribes Congress to give it legislative benefits, Congress corruptly accepts those bribes, and the blame lies solely with Congress? That's one way of looking at things.

Funnily enough, this might actually be quite possible to achieve with sufficient technology.

Perhaps the only productive thought that comes out of ruminating on this topic is, come the revolution, the guidance counselors will be first against the wall. Honestly, I had no idea that the profession of actuary even existed, but I would have likely been rather good at it, having built my own primitive statistical laws as a kid playing with dice and taking grad-level courses in stats as an undergraduate. And gracious did I ask the guidance counselors what was out there.

I entered college as a Nuke E, then rather quickly realized that (at the time), there wasn't much of a career in it if you didn't want to work in a submarine. A guidance counselor could have clued me in to that kind of thing. I switched to physics, as it would be more general, only to, after observing the actual lives lived by the faculty and the PhD students, that the competition was quite fierce for such meager stakes. Noticing that my brilliant professors might have second jobs or rustbuckets to get to work, noting that a few of them were looking a bit threadbare, it was quite a shock.

Guidance counselors ought to have a lot of this information on tap. Perhaps they do now, but at the time, it wasn't available at my high school.

Perhaps we are drawn to this topic if only for the younger generations.
That’s correct behaviour fwiw - there are many ways to write valid IPv4 addresses which aren’t necessarily intuitive
I work on mobile games and my favorite QA report ever was, "game crashes when banana placed on screen, does not repro with other fruit"

(it was actually a boring enough bug, the banana triggered a lot of touches all at once)
Settlers did have combat, but it was greatly simplified (soldiers/archers/priests/towers.) I recall military victory was nearly always a foregone conclusion after the long economic buildup, so the relatively simplicity was forgivable. A more complex military game would perhaps have needed a complicated logistics path to training, route planning, sending the officers to look at the big board, etc. :)
The title needs some work. It sounds like the person who was fired for exposing $200M, has herself gone missing. Perhaps it could say.

Edit: Thank you for changing it from the original "California Public Utilities Commission fired director who exposed $200M missing" to ""California Public Utilities Commission fired director who exposed missing $200M"

Not sure why that earns me downvotes.

Isolation and reproducibility
filmgirlcw's experience matches mine; the answer is still "no, unless you mean something to the airline." The only difference between regular carriers and LCCs is that nobody means anything to the LCC, where at least with a regular carrier you stand a chance, just a very small one.

Twice in the past few years I have flown, on my own nickle, what's called "Y class." This is full-fare, unrestricted, usually-last-minute coach/economy class. It gets you the exact same seat as someone who booked on Expedia six months prior but costs an eyewatering amount of money because you usually bought it at the last minute and are just grateful to be on the plane. Both times, something went wrong, once with an airplane having a minor equipment failure midflight and another where the required airplane never showed up. (It hadn't taken off from its origin and we were due to fly back from an airport that only got two flights per day via this airline.)

Both times the amount of money I spent mattered little. I was an economy-class passenger with no status on that airline. I wound up having to deal with getting myself where I needed to go via another airline and clawing back the money for both unused tickets.

Unless you have status, airlines are privatized versions of public transport, just with wings. In point of fact, I've been treated better by King County Metro in Seattle[0] than I have by virtually every airline I've flown when an issue has happened.

0 - I used to work the late evening shift at my job and would take the last Seattle-bound bus of the night to get home. Once, because a driver forgot that the route served a slightly different set of stops during that part of the day versus the rest of the day, the stop I was waiting at got skipped. After 30 minutes of waiting for a bus that OneBusAway claimed had long-since departed, I called Metro's customer service line to see if it really was coming. Someone answered, reached out to the driver, and figured out what happened. They sent a supervisor in a van to pick up me and the two other passengers who were waiting and took us all directly home.
And this is an entirely reasonable position to adopt when you do not yet know, as was the case in early 2020, how long a vaccine will take to develop, or if one can be developed at all.
Moderna's vaccine's refrigeration requirements are not extreme. It just needs -20 C (i.e what a kitchen freezer can do) for shipping, and then will be good for a month at 2-8 C, i.e. kitchen fridge temps.
> use a more streamable format than JSON

Did you mean we should stream data over WebSocket or use HTTP/2 or do we need to do something different altogether?
They're in a weird spot. They're obviously making a lot of money, but most companies in their position do a lot of work to court developers and accessory makers etc. Apple's position is essentially that they control the market so you need them more than they need you.

But that makes others resent them. Which is a vulnerability because it means you have all the rest of the industry ready to sell Apple down the river the first chance they get, whether it's in making antitrust claims or lobbying against them or just fervently supporting any half viable competitor in the hopes that it becomes fully viable.
The benefit is they can charge you $200 for memory they bought from Samsung for $15. There’s no performance advantage to the user.
I've always taken it to be about your peak - when life is at its best. In your 20s, you're generally in good health, maintain a good social network from school or college, active social life, etc. I'm in my early 40s and feel like I have it more together now than in the past: fewer but better friendships, more interesting conversations, more means to do what I want in terms of travel or entertainment.
I think it's a power advantage, not performance.
I had an older X1 yoga that ran Arch great. I now have a newer X1 yoga and got lazy and just threw Ubuntu on it. Since 20.04 everything including fingerprint reader is working great.
I 3D print them - quick prototypes I use my own printer, for more durable/nicer plastic stuff I go through Shapeways (~$20), and for the metal stuff I get them CNCed through 3D Hubs ($150). Here's an example of a volume controller I made:

Agreed. But more AZ will go to e.g. Rochester over Manhattan.

Generally in boardgaming "tactical" is used to refer to moment-to-moment/turn-to-turn decision making, reacting to the immediate situation. I don't see how that applies here, you can't decide on a draw/action strategy at the start of the game and then decide as you go which cards you're going to use for it. I guess you can, but it seems like a bad idea.

To be successful you'd need to start by studying the card offer and seeing if draw/action strategy is possible and advisable. To do that you need to understand all the possible ways to build an engine(if any) from the available cards and how they might interact with other cards that are available. That seems like strategy to me.
Ahh, all those things I see when Arduino is doing its thing - I have some reading to do - thank you for putting me on this path!
Here is what remains unsaid..the central California (and Southern California) hospitals that are full capacity..almost all of them are in farming regions of central California: https://apnews.com/article/public-health-california-coronavi...

Farmworkers are disproportionately affected due to covid because they have to keep going. They live together cramped in rooms and are transported to fields together. There is no concept of ‘social distancing’

This is also the population that would be most skeptical towards the vaccine.

We needed automation 9 months ago. Food shortages are a real possibility in 2021 when we will have no picking crews.

Hard truth and straight talk: most farm labour is brought across the border by coyotes. It’s not politically correct to say it..but here you have it. Not many people will be crossing the border in 2021.

Not that most food imports will cross the border either. Lettuce is not food.

For everyone who pooh pooh’ed farm robotics and automation because it wasn’t going to be profitable enough..well our food is going to become real expensive real soon.

And what little data harvesting tech they have developed..too little ..too late.
Except yet again we have someone who doesn’t understand how exit codes work in bash shell scripts.

Npm errors out if the sub commands generate a nonzero exit code. I’ve fixed so many bash scripts that ignore errors and just keep going.
I don't buy this. Crying spells and slowed movements attract attention. Flat affect reads as ingratitude. Emotional deadening tends to leave you with the one emotion that will get you in the most trouble, anger. Lethargy and dread make you want to decline every invitation and activity, which is far from submissive - people feel you are rejecting them or neglecting your responsibilities.

Really the only thing that seems adaptive is suppressing executive function / initiative. In every other respect, to keep your head down and avoid punishment you need to conform. Depressed people do sometimes manage this but they describe it as exhausting work, which was easier before they get depressed.
I think there is a rule about nitpicking titles. The original was confusing so they changed it.

When the broadest studies indicate that symptomatic cases are ~25x more likely to transmit the virus to people in their household[0] I would say that converting a lot of symptomatic cases to asymptomatic cases is likely pretty consequential.

“Did you ever wonder what life would have been like if you’d said yes?” said Ridcully.

“No.”

“I suppose we’d have settled down, had children, grandchildren, that sort of thing…”

“What about the fire?” she said.

“What fire?”

“Swept through our house just after we were married. Killed us both.”

“What fire? I don’t know anything about any fire!”

Granny turned around.

“Of course not! It didn’t happen. But the point is, it might have happened. You can’t say ‘if this didn’t happen then that would have happened’ because you don’t know everything that might have happened. You might think something’d be good, but for all you know it could have turned out horrible. You can’t say ‘if only I’d..’ because you could be wishing for anything. The point is, you’ll never know. You’ve gone past. So there’s no use thinking about it. So I don’t.”
All of my refunds have been painless, many returnless. It must depend on hidden factors. One of my most recent returnless refunds was Amazon credit rather than to the payment method, probably because it'd happened too much lately. I still don't mind and their return policies are much more generous than the norm.
There’s an increasing likelihood that the AZ vaccine will arrive too late to the party in the US and will be the least effective of all the vaccines approved by the FDA. We don’t know the latter yet for sure, J&J’s data is supposed to come out in a few weeks, but if that comes to fruition it will be a HUGE misstep for AZ.

It’s unclear at what level herd immunity will be reached with Covid, more recent estimates are trending towards the 80-90% of the population range. If that’s the case then the AZ vaccine may not be good enough to eradicate the disease, even with full vaccination of the population.
It was a little surprising to see this here after I just came from playing Dominion :) I think it articulates well a lot of what I like about the game. I'm not very good at the game, compared to other players out there, but I still think there's accessible strategy and variety.

I'm curious what motivated posting this particular article now…

And by the way, this should have a (2012) tag in the title @dang.
Honestly given how little reproducibility there is in like 80% of the Dockerfiles I've seen in the wild it astounds me how this became a solution for packaging at all.

She uncovers incompetence and gets fired. The article makes no allegations that she stepped on Newsom's toes, but it sure seems like it. She deserves a medal, not to be fired. The article doesn't say who hired her in the first place, just:

> Stebbins was hired as the agency’s executive director in February 2018 to bring fresh scrutiny to its finances and operations.

Who hired her?

Also:

> “I find this outrageous!” Batjer wrote to her old colleague. “I’m terribly worried. Thanks much for any advice/help you can get before this gets much worse.”

> “Let’s get together and figure this out!” Lee responded. “We will help you fix, don’t stress.”

I can count on zero fingers the number of times I've used an exclamation mark professionally. Batjer then proceeds to essentially conspire with other board members to fire her, breaking the law in so doing.

Would love to hear from anyone with use cases or pain points.
