For me I get the best result when the receiver is on a USB extension hanging down from the table behind the monitor. Currently it's about 30cm from the floor. Every single on-desk position caused interference and delays.

(This is from a Macbook with USB 3 hub, so that might be the actual culprit.)

if you can't put a real cost on something you can't actually weigh it, what happens if you say ecosystem damage is astronomical in cost and the loss of jobs if we don't build this dam costs 1.5 million dollars is the dam gets built because nobody has put any sort of measurable cost on what happens if the dam gets built.

I remember back in the late 90's when I was studying Computer Science at Lund University, Sweden. They had a research focus in compilers and had their own Simula-compiler if I remember correctly. When they taught compilers, students first had to take the low level programming course where you needed to build a compiler back-end for an in-house IL. The first compiler course you could take after that was very focused on the practical aspects of building a front-end for the back-end you already had. Theory was pretty minimalistic at this point if I remember correctly. You got the hang of basic operator precendence parsing with a recommendation to use if for the expressions in our toy language and recursive decent for the rest. Of course this was almost like throwing someone at the deep end of the pool and se what happens. A grueling course that was renowned by students to be one of the more work intensive in the whole curriculum at that time. A lot of late nights in the computer lab for sure.

Afterwards, when I had the second more theoretical compiler course, I did feel that all that practical hard work to make a fully functioning compiler with mostly elbow grease gave an appreciation of the theoretical constructs that could make this more tractable.
If my 3 year old is about to pass away from starvation, and you walk by with a loaf of bread. I'll ask first, if you say no - I'll still be taking that bread.

Any parent would do the same. Who has a right to that bread? The person who bought it? Or the person who fought and "won" it from the other? Didn't I work just as hard to take it from you?

Is it right that a three year old die, if it could be avoided?

There was a time land was basically first come first serve claim any parcel you want and live off the toil of your labors. Lots of today's land owners I'm sure are predecessors of those first land-lords.

You feel you have a right to "peace" and that the police will protect you from crime.

If you're walking home with a bunch of junk food, and warm bread - you might see one family that salivates, maybe you can outrun them. What happens when 90% of society are those people?

Every year more people are getting pushed down into the dumps. Society is just one big social contract, I won't hurt you because I'm okay, things are good. I got food, water, heat, electric, I can't complain. I'm also too busy playing on my android phone to worry about what you have, or want to take it -- the incentive to commit a crime just isn't there...

Take away all my things, my home, my clothes, and make my kids starve and you'll see a very different version of me, probably a version I never knew existed. A lot of society is the same.

Society functions when everyone is at least "comfortable" and it degrades into anarchy and gotham city-like when everyone is relegated to squalor. If you don't believe me, consult the history books on the French Revolution and see how well it turned out for Marie Antoinette and her compadres.

> You get roughly the same architecture but without the process isolation.

I think that's only true for very specific kinds of architecture which are only tangentially related to coroutines: stateless data transformations or actor-inspired architectures. Things like shared atomic data structures or mutexes translate pretty poorly to microservice architectures (they're doable, but really painful, bug-prone, and you give up a ton of performance).

EDIT: Hmmmm... on reflection, I suppose if you think of the actual stateful set of yield and continuation operations of coroutines they are one particular possible microservice architecture, but it strikes me as a bit messy? Although I guess you can retrofit the usual set of other concurrency operators on top.
> you have to create things worth writing about

Really? Why make writing conditional? And what do you mean by 'worth'? Worth to whom?

I fell into the same bear trap and I ended up blocking myself. The challenge is to step away from attributing self-importance to what you write and make your writing superfluous. There are no rules except for those you encumber yourself with.

For sure, it's perfectly valid to set goals for yourself. Like attaining wide readership, connecting with others, sharing what you know and what you've experienced, establishing an identity for yourself as a writer, contributing to a field of knowledge,... Even so, those are choices you make for yourself, not obligations. You don't owe your readers your writing.

Sol LeWitt wrote a response to Eva Hesse who made the same complaint about the hardships of creation. Here's Benedict Cumberbatch reading that letter:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnSMIgsPj5M

Both artists became front-runners of post-modernism and post-minimalism.

Now, none of the above implies that selecting, curating, editing, reviewing, reflecting,... should go out of the window. It means that when you sit at your desk - feet in the air, shooting pencils at your ceiling, thinking about what you're going to write - becoming acutely aware of how you judge yourself in the back of your head and being able to step back from that becomes a valuable skill.

Per Neil Gaiman, your Inner Inquisition won't even remember the finer details of the hour long questioning sessions it submitted your thought process to in 5 months time.
- He mentioned that mining is more efficient when the GPUs are cooler, so using them to pre-heat outside air is better than using them to heat up room temperature air.

- since he would be forcing a lot of air through the miner, almost all heat would be transferred into the house using convection. The miner would stay cool and there would be very little radiation loss.

- finally, his ventilation system probably needs pre-heating on very cold days (often with a resistive pre-heater). Using the miner for that is smart.
The underlying problem here isn't people taking the piss but a system optimised for people taking the piss.

You optimise for time wasted rather than value created.

This is one more example of terrible management. Mistrust, too much control and micromanagement are totalitarian ways of push management that do not work with thinking and creative working force. Unless what you do is already known pattern coding and repetitive work, which does not include the left or right side of the brain, the above approach may work.
Maybe in movies, you can put a gun to a hacker's head and say you have 1 minute to crack this, but in reality, that does not work. Solving problems takes time, and art-wise, to get inspiration, it takes even more time.
"Slacking" time is necessary to produce a good solution...

So, you give a difficult problem to your employee, he gets stressed it is difficult, but now he needs to pretend to be busy to satisfy boss, he is even more stressed as he does not have time to think about solving the problem, but he needs to think about being busy... I can see people spiraling into mental health problems.

LinkedIn has a clear advantage here over the other freelancer marketplaces (Fiverr, and Upwork) especially in the unsaturated specialized knowledge sub-fields of technology. Although this feature will be gamified, in the first year at least, the freelancers (assuming they are existing LinkedIn Users) available on the platform will have:

1. Somewhat reliable employment history
2. Similarly reliable educational credentials
3. Code contribution metrics available via a Github integration
4. Reviews provided by authentic customers who also have LinkedIn accounts

A simple verification process here will ensure that the reviews are authentic, thereby ensuring trust in the ratings of each freelancer.

> How about assessing their work and thats that.

That’s not so simple with time and materials billing. If somethings taking too long to deliver or is being delivered to a low standard, it could easily be explained by having to deal with unplanned problems (which could also be entirely the clients fault), or it could just as easily be a contractor being slow and/or useless. I’ve worked as a contractor for quite a long time, and the number of complete dead weight contractors I run into is astonishing, and so is the number of projects that go way over budget due to poor planning from the clients. The metric you propose to track doesn’t do such a good job of telling the difference between these two things. This approach doesn’t do a terribly great job of that either, but delivering your work under the conditions chosen by your client is pretty much how it always is for contractors/consultants/freelancers. If they take things too far they won’t be able to attract the high quality contractors in any case.
I use my Sculpt with Windows, but I've tried using it on a Mac Mini m1, and it was horrible due to the lack of drivers. Maybe that plays a part in terms of the wonkiness as well.
My k-8 years started at 06:42, 9-12 started at 07:30. I guess the logic was that we got older we didnt need our parents to dress us. I made a deal with most of my 9-12 teachers: I wouldn’t show up and make their lives hell but I would get A’s on all of the tests.

My parents trusted me so they accepted this. I sort of stayed out of trouble, my teachers’ average test scores weren’t impacted negatively and I spent my days coding and hacking (so I got arrested twice .. sue me).

> I don't see anything about general computing there, am I missing something?

Did you already accept as a fact that phones are not general-purpose computers? But they should be! Here is an example: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5

Androids force many restrictions on the user as well, even those with unnlockable bootloader. You can never run mainline Linux on them due to proprietary drivers depending on ancient kernels, which eventually leads to non-updatable electronic garbage. You can not change the operating system unless you have ancient Linux kernel under the hood.

> It is like saying "Ford is attacking fuel-efficient cars" because they are making F-150 truck.

But a general-purpose phone does not prevent you from using your phone and being secure. It only adds unlimited possibilities. Using your parallel, Ford is attacking the industry by creating car+truck, 2 in 1.

It is a bit ironic to take issue with folks not respecting the authoritative, objective definition of privilege as decided upon by academic hierarchy.

I say this because the concept of privilege is deeply entwined with postmodernist philosophy which strongly believes in the subjectivity of the meaning through ones own lived experience and the rejection of hierarchial social structure attempts to assert ownership of meaning.

The word privilege has strong connotations of undeserved luxury which can be personally insulting to individuals that legitimately feel their own personal sufferings and hardships are being trivialized by the other party. Now do some folks really have undeserved amounts of personal luxury, yes of course, but luxury is by definition available to only a few. So why make it so essential to the word being used for the concept?

The real interesting talking point behind privilege is that you are arbitrarily spared from a set of societal injustices that other people are exposed to by virtue of arbitrary identity attributes. With only moderate amounts of reflection it is easy for most folks to buy into this idea and take some action in their life to reduce the negative effects of this phenomenon.

The cynic in me feels that the word privilege is used precisely to illicit defense responses from a subset of the population. Creating an irredeemable other and deepening division is never going to build a better society. What that does do is make the practitioner receive dopamine hits from their perceived moral and intellectual superiority. Sadly, self dosing dopamine will not bring about improvement to society at large.

If you're looking to have dialogues that have some chance of making all the participants better people than they were before, the tough work of going past charged language, being empathetic and assuming good intent are table stakes.

Otherwise you're just fishing for dopamine hits.

Hey, this is just the sort of thing I'm interested in. I'm an experienced programmer who has no idea what I'm doing with Unity. Unity's tutorials are surprisingly great, but they tend to start with "okay, so a 'variable' is..." and I have to skip forward a bit and just want to know "okay, but say I already know how to program, what's the right way to program with Unity?" I've found very little on that topic, and unfortunately whatever stuff Unity has at that point seems to be behind crazy high pay walls and silly "certifications."

Thanks!
It's possible that it is just more transmissible, not more virulent:

> Chiu also cautioned that this increased risk of death may not be a sign that the variant is inherently more lethal. Rather, it might simply be a reflection that its greater transmissibility caused hospitals to become so overwhelmed and healthcare resources to be stretched so thin that more deaths were the result — especially in Southern California.

Ye, I don't understand why they added back the numpad to their newer keyboards, it makes no sense from an ergonomic point of view. The lack of an attached numpad was the reason I bought the Sculpt in the first place. I had pains in my right shoulder from using too wide keyboards. I also like the split space bar on my current Sculpt keyboard, it makes the key easier to press down.

I'd actually like a mod the other way round: There are a bunch of great mechanical keyboards (such WASD V3, daskeyboard prime or many other amazing custom builds) but they are all wired. I don't know why they don't make proper mechanical wireless keyboards (they are bulky enough that a battery should easily find space). But a wireless conversion mod would be the next best thing.

Due to my (unchangeable) desk situation, wired keyboards aren't really a possibility, so this is a real gap in the market for me and I was quite surprised, given the extreme multitude of keyboard models in the world, that I wasn't able to find one (or even have one custom built within a reasonable price range) that ticked all the boxes.

Unfortunately, my electronics talent is by far not good enough to attempt something like the linked article (but in reverse, as it were).
