None of those are the capital cost of a simple cycle gas turbine powerplant (maybe $400/kW).
Yea, would have to say there's a lot more options now.

It kind of seems like an elephant in the room, so want to call it out....

Is windows better or worse than macs/osx with Linux hostility? To me, it seems like Microsoft is less bad than Apple in this regard.
In general M1 is fastastic tho.
That seems more like an implementation issue than a general one. Netty integrates with quiche via JNI for QUIC support: https://github.com/netty/netty-incubator-codec-quic
I think I agree but with the point "Isn't this a solved problem?" I'm not sure if the first library should be written in C, Rust, C++, etc but it seems as though very similar libraries-but-in-different-languages are being repeatedly written.

I certainly get that a good library yesterday might not be good today or that an existing library's style might not meet this language's style but I doubt the need to rewrite existing libraries so often. Even with the much-maligned PHP, libraries were frequently bindings to other libraries.
I was about to say that. The old buffer has to be copied to the new buffer, so a naive implementation couldn't possibly allocate them both at the same address.
No one. Unethical isn't illegal.
For clarification, was this near easter time or was the bunny completely random?
> But no other company will be able to out compete Tesla at manufacturing.

This is the reason I feel people are betting Tesla to get an outsized pie of the EV market even when the legacy OEMs catch up. When Tesla started manufacturing things in-house, folks were rightly skeptical about their manufacturing capabilities and their stupid refusal to rely on the automobile supply chain. The stubborn insistence to vertically integrate nearly killed the company.

Now that it has a market cap several times its nearest competitor, it can raise enough capital to focus on capital efficiency of new manufacturing plants to scale up production. In their battery day video, that's what impressed me the most - they have control over every cost center in their supply chain, and can optimize for quicker/cheaper manufacturing much faster than anyone else.

In some aspects, Tesla completely reversed Cook's playbook, and might even succeed at it if demand for Teslas remains high for the next decade or two.

> There's nothing that prevents a think tank from working with domain experts

One issue here is that the pool of domain experts depends on the different incentives faced by different researchers. If the top machine learning conferences all decide to reject papers about predictive policing, then this will reduce the incentive for machine learning researchers (who mostly want to publish in these conferences) to work in the area at all.

Maybe critics of predictive policing think this is good, or think that it's better for the field to restrict itself to the few computer science researchers who are prepared to seriously devote themselves to it? But there don't seem to be very many of them. And, as someone who thinks there is a lot of room for police departments to in general do a better job --- and I think most of the people arguing against predictive policing would believe the same! --- it's disappointing to me that the end result of this argument seems to be disincentivizing technical research on it.
But I was informed that we weren't going to hear anything about COVID-19 after November 4th.

Not really a demand.
Your point is very well taken, but using Turbo Pascal to create an application with a TUI was surprisingly easy back in the day. You could just add some small boilerplate and you basically had something with a TUI running. So the entry barrier was extremely low, which had the effect of giving you a quick reward to motivate you to understand and build more advanced features.
I don't think they signify much, but they're considered cute little friendly buds in Korea.
It does affect the bottom line, though.

Amazon used to be the place I went to learn about the quality of a product. If it looked good, well, here I was already on the product page...

Now, with the counterfeit product problem I will no longer consider amazing for anything health, safety or food related.

With the fake review problem, I no longer look at Amazon to figure out if a product is quality or not. Which leads to more purchases from physical stores or other websites.

Between the two of those issues, my use of Amazon has dropped pretty significantly (to the point that I cancelled Amazon Prime during the pandemic).
This is a lot like how I made my first long distance train ride tolerable, and if your 12h flights are this spacious and relaxed... bring a deck of cards or a guitar or something recreational you enjoy. Yeah it’s a hassle to get more stuff through security and lug around but you might make ”survive” into fun memories.
except that in large swathes of the state the “rolling” blackouts have failed to roll, so they’re just regular blackouts. my parents have been without power now for nearly 24 hours. thankfully i was able to have my parents come stay at our house. many people aren’t so fortunate and their homes are nearing the freezing point.
I'm upvoting you out of the grays and I hope you're joking, but there is no real deal and inferior is all a matter of taste and mostly snobbery.

Sicilian pizza is less authenticate than Neapolitan? Happy Joe's taco pizza is inferior to either? All a matter of taste.

I thank Apple for going to zsh- forcing me to begin learning it and now I have it on all my mzchiesn.
Obviously thats going to be the case through rampant price discovery. Youre not saying anything original. Are you smarter than Visa and Mastercard and Paypal? Maybe they know something about future consumers that you dont.
Some languages allow blocks in a ternary... ruby, for example
Even at that rate you will be fine for 10 years of use.
That's somehow even worse than what I would naively have guessed.
In addition, there's AppleScript for automating UI apps, which is capable of calling bash scripts. The reverse of bash scripts calling AppleScripts is also possible. It's super powerful.
I agree with what you're saying and I use Amazon much less now too, but Amazon definitely monitors the numbers and they're making more money this way. Who knows how much they're trading long-term reputation for short term gains?
OA is being narcissistic not vulnerable. There is a big difference. Instead of proving his theories by developing new games and showing the world how to do it, he gets upset that nobody recognises him as a genius, based on him doing a few somewhat successful games many years ago.
I admire and respect these types of decisions so much.

> In late 2015 we founded the start-up “Coati Software” and started building “Sourcetrail” as a commercial developer tool. We had the vision for Sourcetrail to become the go-to developer tool for reading and understanding all sorts of unfamiliar source code. And of course to become rich and famous on the way.

> Four years passed, and even though Sourcetrail slowly became known and regarded for its advantages in software exploration, it was still only used by a minority of software developers around the world. And we didn't get rich. Not even close. Instead we started losing money on the project by that time. Despite that, we didn't want to follow other companies in the field and go for higher and higher prices, because, as you remember, our goal was to bring the benefits of Sourcetrail to every developer, and not just benefit a few people in a handful of companies.

> But we didn't want to shut down everything and forget about Sourcetrail either. So we decided to steer away from our commercial license model and all the company internal secrecies and bring Sourectrail out in the open.
...

> Of course we have acquired a lot of knowledge while making Sourcetrail and it would be a waste to just open-source the codebase and walk away. We really want to continue working on Sourcetrail. That's why we set up this Patreon page. Here you can help us fund the time we put into further development of Sourcetrail.
My adaptive cruise control does work from 0-25mph and it is great, especially for bumper to bumper. You only have to watch out for cars aggressive merging in front of you (which the distance sensor doesn't always pick up) but otherwise the car does everything. It doesn't do pure stop and go, but the car rarely every fully stops and once it does you only have to press one button to get it going again.
It’s similar to rampant doping in competitive sports, where everyone knows what’s going on. When there are millions of dollars at stake in contracts, prize money, and sponsorships, people will cheat and take risks. Even if they’re caught, the payoffs are usually greater than consequences.

The incentives and payoffs are far, far greater than any type of consequences to the seller. Worst case, they can shut down and start another shill store.
I can define a decision: the outcome of a process that selects between multiple options. The process can be conscious, unconscious or a computer programme.

Semantics can be tiresome but if you are unable to define a concept and must resort to “try asking a stranger” then how am I supposed to know what you are referring to? You could be referring to the legal definition of free will, the compatibilist one as espoused by Daniel Dennett, the dualistic one where consciousness exists beyond the physical universe, or one that I have not thought of. Most likely, a stranger would respond with the legal definition or a vague reference to the dualistic one.

If you cannot define it, then perhaps it has no real meaning.
I was there too, although I didn't make it into any of the pictures AFAICT on the site. Everex computer (which was in Fremont) also refused to refund any money for "returning" the license code.
Neat! Did you use a framework or template social network/story format code to build this?
That's what Amazon does.

You buy things from their website and pay using their payment platform. The website doesn't make it obvious that you're actually buying from a third party ("sold by: X" is in small letters and gets lost between all the other details). And Amazon lump items from different vendors together in the same product page.

I literally bought like 3 items on Amazon before realizing that not all items were sold by Amazon themselves.

When it turns out that items are counterfeit, they try to offload a great part of their responsibility onto the legal system, because they see themselves as the victims of counterfeit, not as facilitators [1]. Luckily, some judges are not buying their excuse [2].

(Even if buy items "sold by Amazon", you can get a counterfeit product [3].)

The thing is for me, and maybe that's an opinion, is that the investment vehicle due to scarcity is the more important utility right now. Given all the QE and low interest rates across the board worldwide that is the real value prop. There is a need for an asset such as this to preserve wealth, and other assets such as gold have market mechanisms to stop them running away too far I think (e.g. gold certificates, reserve banks willing to liquidate, etc).

In first world countries for most people I would argue for all its faults the banking system is "good enough". In my local country can send money to people almost real time and pay by card quickly and easily without fees. Sure there is still room for improvement, but for most average people the need to change is low. Especially when I still need the banking system as "primary" to pay my taxes, settle my bills, etc - you know all the "real stuff".
To do PTP "right" requires every switch to support it and a NIC with hardware timestamps. Also, I've seen claims that PTP is no more precise than a good implementation of NTP.
Or just build a cheap desktop with a gpu. rtx 2060 + nvme SSD + any cpu is pretty good for most ML, and will only cost $800 or so.
You may not decide to be hungry, but regardless of your hunger, you can choose not to eat.

Incidentally I think that's also what separates us from other animals. Animals can't fast, for example. If the instinct is present, the animal acts on it. We don't have to. In fact, if it mattered enough to me, I could starve myself to death.
Really depends on the location. I spent a bunch of time with family in suburban/rural Ohio as a kid, and the area where I used to live has rapidly been emptying out over the last 10-20 years. IMO, techies moving to rural areas is good as those areas have been experiencing depopulation for quite some time.
Those are really data formats, not configuration. Their only features seem to be expressing simple data in different types and structures.

I recently watched this YouTube video about the Therac-25, it was similar to this article (albeit a little less in-depth). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7gVqBY52MY

Highly recommend all of his videos, actually.
FWIW, there's not a tremendous amount of parallelism to be extracted here.

I pulled the git repo on the site and it compiled in 54 s on a Threadripper 1950X @ 4 GHz (a 16 core processor). The dependencies loaded all of the cores for the first couple of seconds, but most of the time was spent in a lightly threaded section at the end.

From everything I’ve read, it tends to stagnate society. Why buy a car when you can just hold onto your money and tomorrow you can buy a house? Why buy a house when tomorrow you can buy a mansion. No value is produced because there is little incentive to invest into anything since just holding onto your money is a safe investment.
Lots of them are offering a gift card for a review to purchasers - which seems slightly less scammy as you’re unlikely to leave a good review of a crappy product for a $5 gift card.

I looked at getting a pizza peel and decided that there wasn’t a single best style. I recently discovered that I can easily transfer a pizza to the hot stone in the oven by building it on a piece of parchment paper (trimmed to the size of the pizza after adding the toppings) and sliding it from a tilted cookie sheet with the help of a large spatula.

It’s much cleaner than the way I used to do it, which required cornmeal and often resulted in crooked transfers, misshapen dough, and lopsided toppings.
I usually just vet reviews for the same product from other online retailers, re: BH Photo, Best Buy, Target, Walmart (although not sure about Walmart reviews), Monoprice, maybe Newegg, etc

I’m going to step out on a limb here but the metric system isn’t as it’s cracked up to be. First, it’s base-10 which yields fewer divisors than a base-12 imperial system. Highly composite numbers are favorable for dividing into equal parts. 65 miles or 343200 feet has 144 divisors instead of 100 km or 100000 m which has a measly 36. Yes math is easy when you’re in base-10 but our clock is base-60 for a reason. If I had a choice, this would look like an SI system with base-12 meters in duodecimal.
I don't know about that. My employer gives out Macbooks to us devs and there's no option but to use OS X. I must say that the OS is as bad as the hardware is good. This is definitely the best laptop hardware I've used, and unfortunately the most unstable, frustrating and bug-ridden OS I've used this side of Windows Vista.

Can you imagine that an OS update disabled the fingerprinter and also broke authenticated settings? And this is a common occurrence apparently.
Having tried a lot of pizza the napolitean style really has the best dough, sure it doesn’t come with all these crazy toppings but the dough... then you have deep dish pizza and I’m wondering how people can eat that (or call it pizza)

15 years ago I played in a band with some friends.

We now all love in different cities. Due to the pandemic and lockdowns we ended up reconnecting and despite the distance we are jamming and working on songs like we never left the drummers basement.

Strongly recommend jamulus.io. It is fast enough to actually jam on music with other players.
No, that's a mischaracterization of my argument. The decoy here is the lower salary that was the supposedly "market rate" salary for the work he does. That price wasn't advertised publicly in a central market for job listings, so it's an unrelated third option that is dominated by his current strategy that drives him to believe that his current strategy is globally optimal, despite tremendous evidence to the contrary. He would make more money if he could sort job listings by offered salary.

You clearly have some kind of chip on your shoulder either about me or about this subject. Acting like a snob won’t get you many conversation partners. Take care.
Still the best way of doing it IMO, even if not perfect.

And, this wouldn't affect this situation, since, you're doing it with external IPs for external clients.

I’m going to get downvoted into oblivion for this, but as a teenager who remembers when this happened, this always struck me as the absolute dumbest idea and the most useless of performative actions.

First, it was sponsored by a VC-backed company (that had hired a documentary crew to capture their success, the ill-fated VA Linux Systems (which eventually became known as Geeknet) and the pretty poor propaganda documentary “Revolution OS” that managed to just sort of forget the whole dot com collapse thing)), so although I know the LUGs were part of it, this was a marketing event by a company looking to boost their IPO. I didn’t know any of that at the time, but looking back, it’s so clear this was just yet another VA Linux publicity event.

Second, to anyone who wasn’t part of the group “protesting” — that is, outsiders — all you see is a bunch of weirdos dressed up with picket signs outside a sales office (they didn’t even go to Redmond) to demand action, only to be greeted what seem to be very polite corporate people with a sign and lemonade.

Third, it fundamentally changed nothing. It took the DoJ agreements to lessen the hold Microsoft had one some OEMs, but it really took the proliferation of Chromebooks (which was predicated by the short-lived netbook era) for manufacturers to get cheaper deals on Windows licenses and to offer more customizations of OS choice at purchase. That still had zero impact on Linux on the desktop adoption rates.

And sure, most bigger OEMs if you buy direct will let you customize a machine with no OS and sometimes with Ubuntu, but the Ubuntu XPS 13 isn’t much cheaper than the Windows variant (max $50), you just get more of an assurance that there is some sort of driver support for your system (although usually not for stuff like fingerprint readers).

So like, all I remember is that 21 years ago, some angry nerds showed up to an office park parking lot, got some free lemonade, were told politely to leave, and then went home with their cardboard signs screaming victory. When they didn’t get a refund. Didn’t change OEM terms, and had zero impact on OS adoption. OS adoption changed over the years but it wasn’t because of anything any of the people in that movement did, it was because of Apple and Google.

The disassembly can lie, however, i.e. the CPU can do a lot of work in the time a cache miss takes (or some other dependency induced stall, or misprediction) - you have to measure it, in the situation where the code is actually being used (i.e. contrived benchmarks will again often lie as they usually don't fill the cache, and are easy to predict)

"probably has some elements borrowed from the Chicago style."

LOL - the exact opposite, actually.

Neopolitan is thin instead of deep-dish. The idea is to blast it at like 900 degrees, but only for 1-2 minutes, so they keep it thin so it can actually cook in that time.

That said, Chicago style 'deep dish' is a personal favorite too. In fact, it's been a while since I made some - maybe I should go find my spring-form pan again :)
