Without winterization, it doesn't matter if Texas is connected or not. With it, it doesn't matter either, because it produces and uses so much electricity.

If anything, it might be a blessing to the other states, that they are not connected to Texas at present. Consider the northeast blackout of 2003:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/2003-blackout-fiv...

Texas is not shutting down train lines in Canada. We didn't implement our own winterization guidelines and now we face the consequences. That's how it should be.

The justification for Texas's grid goes back many decades and can't be assessed on the basis of an event like this -- that's recency bias.

Just a nit pick: The limit on total employer and employee contributions to a 401(k) is $58,000 in 2021, which includes the $19,500 elective deferral, employer matches, and post-tax contributions. If the "401(k) shit show" was eliminated, I'd hope it would be replaced with similar contribution limits.

To your point about backdoor Roth shenanigans, they aren't really shenanigans, they are legit and IRS-sanctioned. Shenanigans kind of implies you're doing something morally questionable.
Anecdotal, but I made a used ibm t23 last from 2005-2009.i had to replace the motherboard once because of bad capacitors; and the ram eventually failed.

But, I had the thing optimized. Removable cd rom meant I could save the weight.

For it to last in 2009 against peers with quad cores and 4gb of ram, I had everything compiled as specifically as possible. It could run windows through virtual box "better" than peers that had windows with bloatware. Ultimately used it for a video processing project in 2009 because it would run python and qt better than the 4 other people in my group project.
This isn't a huge market. So that sounds like an acceptable loss to me.

All decisions have tradeoffs, and that is a small one.
Perhaps we can spare future generations of physics undergrads from the monotony of examining falling oil drops through a microscope.
Rachel Agnew is a great resource for learning modern css and the things it's capable of. A good start is probably these slides on 'The Evolution of Responsive Design'
- https://noti.st/rachelandrew/4AtjON#spytgfW which also lists a few other resources (including this article: https://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design)

Flexbox froggy https://flexboxfroggy.com/ is a good learning game for understanding flexbox

And Grid Garden https://cssgridgarden.com/ does the same for css grids.

Understanding both those is pretty core to understanding modern responsive design.
People really don’t understand that 25% of people who contract Covid-19 have long term effects from it. It can shred your heart, it can ruin your lung capacity, there are reports of seizures in a small portion, and yet people will talk about how “it’s just a flu.”

Honestly, the long term effects scare me far more than the infection itself.
Meh, it's within the guidelines of the license. If you don't want companies taking your work and selling it, please use a different license.
dont just downvote, present a counter argument that is based in science why I am wrong and use your own brains, don't just "defer to the experts".

Just because I used an extreme analogy to prove a bad point, that doesn't mean you shouldn't contemplate every bad idea along with the good.

I'm not saying we should practice eugenics on the human race, I am saying whether or not it is theoretically possible and whether or not scientists who brought up these ideas did so because they were nazis, or because they were pioneers traveling into dangerous lands for the very first time.
Is there any reason why Europe can do buried cables just fine (and has been for a good few decades), but the US can't? As I understand even new neighbourhoods in the US often have overhead cables.
The only real threat to them is the acidity. Over four decades or so they might have dissolved. They should have withstood everything else except maybe a lighting strike.

You still have bugs like this when you generate certs with an empty CommonName field, https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/11771. I have an app which has certificate checking turned off due to this bug, I hope they'll update the packaged nodejs sometime in the future.

The market and the history of the game is precisely the reason they became like this. It's hard to build a profitable server platform that can compete with what's already there. Engines are already very advanced, especially on the open-source front. Free resources are plentiful. Bookshelves are already crowded and chess-related articles probably don't make that much money. To make a successful app, you'd need some name recognition like Magnus. Coaching services are probably a no-go as well, since a professional player interested in that can always get a lucrative deal with chess.com or chess24 if they are high-profile or simply quickly get clients on their own and not have to pay a percentage.

All that is really left is targeting people who can't or won't perform even the most cursory research relating to their purchases.
> I have great experiences with Falcon

Then keep using Falcon! OP’s core thesis is that developer comfort matters more when choosing an API framework because the performance bottleneck is usually found elsewhere. The API itself should be fast enough with some combination of Gunicorn, gevent, PyPy, and horizontal scaling.
> These are the exact same pathology. You're drawing a distinction based on whether one is "government", but they're the same type of lethargic entrenched entity, regardless of how they were chartered.

One type of lethargic entrenched entity survives on the basis of consensual interactions, the other survives on the basis of economic values extracted by threats of violence. The pathology is in forcing the people who want to benefit from consensual interactions to support a system of coercion.

> The actual problem is the lack of accountability. The free market philosophy points us to exit as an ideal of accountability. Sometimes exit works very well - switching electric providers during quiescent times to get pricing that better matches your usage. And sometimes relying on exit fails terribly, like this rare event where it is easier to balk at obligations rather than have prepared enough to fulfill them. If we care about exit in general, then it behooves us to recognize when it fails.

I can agree with this.
> They're obviously going to test the firmware against common workloads.

They can only test against pre-existing software. If they start penalizing uncommon workloads, this kills innovation in many areas, videogames included.

In one of my projects I'm using GPGPUs for complicated optimizations in CAM/CAE. I don't use any libraries/frameworks. From nVidia's point of views, my compute shaders are extremely uncommon workload. Unwanted too, because I skipped CUDA and their vendor lock-in.
Those 60 cm are probably enough for his requirements. It seems that he's mainly interested on detecting signal presence, but not necessarily demodulating it. Then, I suppose that the signal-to-noise ratio provided by his small dish is sufficient
Apple Inc. currently has $196 billion dollars in cash and $112 billion in debt.
I also have the 2012rmbp; it's not even showing its age.
yeah, most "gamer" culture inspires absurdly wasteful habits, spec porn, etc. so that's probably not in alignment, and the windows tax is no joke either - it's delicious that their mondo data hoovering burns up your own cpu cycles, but neither here nor there.

that said, i'm still using an amd phenom II x4 bought in 2010 and manage hacking on clojure, golang, and odds and ends fairly well as a software consultant. arch, xmonad, emacs, and firefox are my "stack". similar to you, i also have a macbook air from 2013 for meet and zoom (and non cloud iphone backup :) ), so not quite as old as this person but certainly don't need a new one any time soon.

love the blog btw
We can keep the history. But to be clear, naming a building after someone is a form of endorsement and honor. That’s not the same as history.

It’s a bit like statues. A statue in a museum is history. A statue in the town square is an honor or endorsement. They’re different things.
The governor of Texas then was even less advanced than the one now.
The global average temperature is increasing. How is that a failed prediction?
At this point, mostly time constraints maintaining two very different implementations.

The archiving is done via the CDP Fetch domain (https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Fetch...), as it requires intercepting and sometimes modifying the response body of a request to make it more replayable.

Firefox doesn't current support this yet (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1587426), although, it does have webRequest.StreamFilter instead (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...),
which is lacking in Chromium.

It probably should be possible to achieve this functionality in Firefox, using this API, but would unfortunately require a new implementation that uses WebRequest instead of CDP. But probably worth looking into!

The archive replay using ReplayWeb.page should work in Firefox and Safari.

Edit: Another limitation on Firefox is lack of service worker support from extensions origins (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344561).
This is needed to view what you've archived in the extension. Would need to work around this issue somehow until that is supported, so probably a bit of work, unfortunately.
I would 100% use this! I do exactly what is described in the note. I use undo/redo a lot to traverse between two states of code and found this incredibly frustrating.

Until this point I thought that was just a bad practice on my end, so never saw the need/opportunity for something like a state slider.

Honestly never thought other people were using undo/redo like this.

Yes. You sign one receipt at the store with a security camera pointing at you, and are handed a second, matching receipt by the vendor.
Do you apply the same level of concern to the US military? It produces a lot more CO2 emissions than Bitcoin. I don’t think it produces more benefits for normal people either.
You'd think so, but that's not the case. Electricity is only running me around 7 cents / kWh, so when I say "net" I mean it. Ethereum is up 7x over the last year, and is largely driving the surge in GPU prices - if it weren't currently profitable, nobody would be buying modern GPUs for mining it.

Regardless, even if I were losing money, 100% of the waste heat from my computer is doing actual useful work in heating my room. No electric space heater would be more energy efficient at that, although it would be quieter and put out more heat per unit area.
If you mean responsive design as in pages that work on mobile and desktop views and change based on the size of the screen.

There's not a single solid answer along the lines of web standards as there's really not a web standard for how to DO responsive design. ... welcome to the land of front end development, where everything has 20 answers and none answers your question exactly... ;) Everyone will now probably point you towards more general CSS courses, and now I will too ;)

You've gotten a taste of being responsive with Bootstrap, with columns collapsing on top of each other at various breakpoints. Honestly IMO if you don't want to go down the rabbit hole, a good CSS framework like Bootstrap (or others) will fit the needs of most folks as far as responsive layout goes.

Otherwise responsive design isn't just layout changing with size, it can also be loading different images (smaller sized images if the screen is small) and etc. Then you're well into various CSS topics.

I suggest looking into more general CSS topics / courses that cover responsive design.

I really like https://frontendmasters.com/, they might not have a class just for what you're looking for, but there are some that cover much of what you're asking:

Nvidia is effectively incentivizing the cracking of their driver and firmware security signing with millions of dollars. Because a person who cracks it can build a more profitable mining farm

It's a sort of accidental bug bounty and I wonder if Nvidia have really thought this through?

I get it from ~15 years experience as a manager across many engineering teams in large ecommerce companies. I’ve seen it literally hundreds of times. Someone absolutely aces leetcode interviews and appears to walk on water with instant solutions to non-cookie-cutter dynamic programming problems, exotic tree / heap / graph data structure problems, word problems that are hard to map to data structure problems.

They join with a big offer and it goes nowhere. They don’t know how to choose simpler methods, do things a bad fast way, be incremental, follow evidence from quick user feedback and only optimize when you really have to. Their output is poor, but because they see themselves as high status due to leetcode superiority, it just becomes a problem for everyone. Eventually they think the issue isn’t their poor output but rather some ceiling they are limited by and they quit.

Meanwhile plenty of other people do terribly badly at the dynamic programming / data structure trivia, but they are great at the actual job. They work incrementally, they are less prone to over-engineering or premature optimizations, they focus on the business impact, all while still writing clean, simple code and carefully picking their battles in terms of significant data structure work or optimizations.

The sheer randomness of outcomes leads to leetcode performance just being totally uncorrelated with success in the role as defined by any measure of business impact or effectiveness.
Sadly I fear nothing will change this time around, as here in the good old USA, we value the dollar more than human lives.
> To that end, what evidence of weather patterns would you have to see to believe less in the global warming model?

Certainly a decreasing average global temperature would do it. However, we are seeing a consistent upward trend in the global average[1] even if some regions have lower than normal temperatures.

> me just being a person in the zoom era uses a combination of a windows gaming rig, an old mac for video conferencing, a new mac for xcode, and a linux laptop so I don't hate myself

I'm typing this comment on a Thinkpad X230 - not quite as old as the X60s, but still the better part of a decade old. It can perform most tasks quite adequately.

The real problem is getting spare parts for it; replacing the battery, for instance, was quite the fishing expedition, and I eventually had to settle for a bulky 9-cell instead of the smaller 6-cell I had previously enjoyed. So there are some downsides to be sure.
It’s unfortunate that fractional measurements and the base size of units get conflated.

Maybe metric users do use fractions and I just don’t hear about it. Is that table one and a quarter meters high?
Yeh I've always found the opposite. Mac tends to last longer. I'm on a 2014/15 1TB SSD 16GB Pro Retina and it's still a rocket. I've found very little that would make me want to buy a new Mac at this stage.
Hmm... I've found a couple of add-ons for Firefox but the latter appears broken.

I also found one for Chrome:

I haven't tried them, so YMMV. Edit: the Chrome one appears broken as well. Sigh.

Also, perhaps you could make a command line alias or function for your wget command to drastically reduce the number of keystrokes required.
No one knows nothing. That's why you diversify across cash, gold, bonds, US stocks, international stocks, etc.

I don't think limiting yourself to the possibility of 0 help makes sense if "maybe they wouldn't get very much help".
The interesting thing is that my generation (mid-twenties) and younger seem to view all those names as villains. I'm quite interested in all the people you listed for their achievements, but I feel like most of my friends are more interested in their shortcomings.

Buffett is a "rich old white dude." Zuckerberg is evil. Jobs was sexist and a crappy father. Bezos is taking over the world and also evil.

It's an odd trend in my generation to eagerly try to dismantle any respect earned by people who belong to older generations. On one hand, I appreciate that people are more skeptical of treating rich people like gods. On the other hand, the constant judging of character feels uncomfortably close to the cult-like religion I grew up with.
Oil = bad is too simplistic.

There are a few industry stakeholders... energy producers, petroleum, energy infrastructure, etc. Each has different drivers and motivations. One of the issues with all of these businesses is that maximizing return in capital investment is about cost control, and the interests of the operators of power plants and electric infrastructure don’t always align.

Scenarios where you cannot burn gas do not benefit gas drillers. But gas drillers have nothing to due with reducing capital spending that makes infrastructure resilient to unlikely/infrequent risks. That’s all about pipeline and utility operators, who want to keep that dividend rolling.

I'm insisting I disagree with you. A massive loss of capacity is a different problem than a short term shortage due to high demand.
thank you! yeah, that old mac air is really pulling its weight

IMO the web stack is best on old hardware -- it's designed to handle massive load at scale and has the most attention to pure build tool performance

Yeah, but that comes 6 years late. How does that help anyone in the same position right now in 2021?
I go the other way on this. We used to erase Millian's awfulness and celebrate the rest. We now decline to do so.

We're embracing all of the history in full, considering it and treating it the way we feel is right. We may revisit decades hence and treat it differently again, who knows? I don't see history being "erased" here.
Anecdotally, this is not how Mac users buy computers at all, unless they are quite well off or have someone else paying for them. Most people run Macs for half a decade if not more.
In the US that's fine but it's helpful to be able to drive a stick when you're traveling.

The times I rented/hired a campervan in New Zealand and in Iceland, they were manual transmission. I heard recently the ones in New Zealand are automatic nowadays. (That's good because I wasn't used to shifting with my left hand and was kinda freaked out for the first half hour or so of driving.)

A guy I knew had volunteered on Lesbos during the refugee crisis and can't drive a stick so he couldn't drive there. The availability of rental cars on islands can be pretty limited. A couple years ago I was on Madeira and apparently the only affordable rentals there are manual transmission subcompacts.
Not sure about a founder but past Presidents and Trustees have had their names removed from buildings and other landmarks after this sort of thing came to the surface.
The X60s is magnificent. I love mine and may also buy more in the future.

Just a fantastic piece of kit. If only the mainboard were upgradable...

The lack of webcam is a bonus as far as I'm concerned; "Zoom culture" can burn.
No, I don’t think you’re quiet understanding what they are saying. They aren’t talking about the different speeds of earth or Mars.

Simultaneity is not “perfectly well defined in a single intertidal reference frame”. That is just a convention.

If the RTT of earth to Mars is 20 minutes, then we can say that it takes us 20 minutes for our message to reach the rover, and the rover’s message arrives instantly, and that’s a consistent definition of simultaneity.

Yep, that's through the BGRT, which is part of ACPI. I'm not actually sure if a GPU could export one to the BIOS, but I assume not.
The simplest I answer I could come up with is to try to record video of light moving at over that framerate. If there's still smoth movement across frames we're probably real. If it looks like a crappy gif we're a simulation.

This seems to be cross-platform, while BusyBox is mostly Linux-only.
I suspect that is exactly the method most developers would uses in that situation.

All versions controls have a way to compare, merge and revert historical changes in and out of the current working copy.
Very well written article and I liked the live examples throughout. It's always taken me longer than it should to style a website, often because I'm struggling with the margins and spacing. For example, I had no idea that vertical margins collapsed.
I intentionally bought the cheapest and slowest laptop that can run low-spec commercial VR software. Same for xcode. If your thinkpad can do both of those things it has a market value of $2500 and I'll buy it from you
Yes, why isn’t the DTCC testifying? How does their algorithm set the collateral price? How does a phone call get the collateral price reduced by a billion dollars? Overall it seems that DTCC is a major shadow player that most people never knew about.

Overall I think this entire situation is a combination of sketchy abuse of special power (naked short selling and failure to deliver with little/no consequence) and unforeseen side effects (DTCC able to make entire funds, brokers, and exchanges instantly insolvent over night) leading to the Everyman feeling like they have been cheated by the incumbents. I don’t know the correct path forward but I’ve certainly learned more than I’d expected about order flow.
Yeah, sure it happens. Then I type “git diff”. But never have I unraveled the entire undo buffer stack only to peek at it and re-push the entire contents. That’s super weird to me.
That is a reasonable point, but it is only half the story when it leaves out regulatory capture (which certainly is not confined to Texas), the deliberate adoption or rejection of policies on the basis of whether they conform to a counterfactual ideology (climate-change denial), and the brazen attempt to shift blame for the problem onto policies that actually attempt to mitigate problems that really are happening.
