The good news is that losing intercooler or turbo would just be a fractional performance reduction, not a countdown to an engine loss that an oil cooler hit would be.

This ties in with a question I was asking myself after seeing this impressive setup: did anyone build a skin surface intercooler? I seem to remember reading about at least one plane that had its oil cooler in the skin early in development until they accepted that the added vulnerability was worse than the drag from a conventional box radiator and abandoned the idea. But with the intercooler the tradeoffs might be very different. You could even add a bypass mechanism for when the skin/cooler has become so leaky that the engine has effectively become naturally aspirated and turbo without intercooler would be an improvement.

They very likely do. On the M: and Z: drive.

As far as I can see this is just IT saying “if you stored your data somewhere you shouldn’t have, it’s now gone”.

But of course they can’t say that, so instead they have to help people recover from their mistake.

Or maybe the mistake was thinking people would actually do what you told them instead of whatever was more convenient.
From the slide deck I saw, n=13. So this tells me there are 100+ others who are either not complaining or dont want to step up. Yes, its BS and you don't need to live like that.

There's a famous Goldman intern story: a high-ranking managing director asked to meet a bunch of the interns at 5pm on Friday afternoon, before a long 3-day weekend. He didn't show up until 8pm, at which time 3/4th of the interns had already left to get their weekend started. They were all fired.

Anyone with a good lawyer would argue this is circumstantial evidence, and considering the large volume of felonious criminals in the area, it wouldn't be above them to spoof the cell signals to frame anyone they wanted. Considering the government those rioters were attempting to overthrow is also in heavy possession of electronic devices to spoof cellular signals, the FBI/CIA/NSA could have framed them.
I had high hopes for Samsung Z SSD, which was supposed to be their competitor to Intel’s Optane. It hasn’t really gone anywhere and hasn’t placed Optane under any price pressure.
Awesome, but why not write this as a browser extension? Why create a new browser for it?
A bit more exploration on this:

Example: If I don't have transport then I can't buy food / do things to survive. Its 50km to the nearest shop. Etc etc

Thoughts: I need transport but want a car, horse or bicycle. Perhaps I do need that car after all? A horse isn’t as useful when it rains. The bicycle won't fit four people.

Perhaps I do need a car. Obvious requirements just appeared involving weather, number of people, moving capacity etc.

But do I need the fancy car or will a less fancy car fulfill the requirements? There's the need vs want line as I see it.

I started learning how to program some solidarity for fun and just to understand the whole concept better. While I agree that in the short-run 1-5 years, it’s extremely unlikely that something wins agains ETH, but... in the long run, 10-20 years, it’s a lot harder to know.

Not sure what that means for anything, but it’s important to remember that what we consider the gold standard today, BTC, ETH, they may be tomorrow’s tin.

When we talk about "inevitable" in this sense, we more mean "obviously had to happen given the events leading up to it" than "was predetermined to happen".

I get what you're saying, though, but please ask yourself: how does this idea contribute to discussion?
I've wondered the same thing! In particular, the highly polished and powerful interfaces of some roguelikes (DCSS comes to mind) strongly remind me of Emacs. It seems like the scriptability and power of Emacs interfaces is a natural fit for roguelikes.

Swallowing a valve is a common engine failure for high performance engines. The valve breaks off at the stem and falls into the combustion chamber. The piston comes up, jams against the valve, and the engine basically comes apart.

He was forced to land immediately.

The story was more about the P-47. He was nearing the airfield (again!) when the valve broke loose. He was asked by the tower if he could do another lap of the airfield and give someone else priority in landing. The vibration wasn't so bad, so he said "sure".

After landing, the chief mechanic called him over and chewed him out for doing the extra lap. The mechanic showed him the engine, which was just turning rubble.

He was a B-17 navigator during WW2. On one mission, one of the four engines was hit by flak and stopped. The pilot talked to the crew, saying they had a choice. Three engines meant the B-17 couldn't keep up with the formation, and would get picked off by the trailing Me-109s, so they would preemptively bail out over Germany. Or, they could drive the 3 engines way past their rated power, and pray they kept turning for the many hours of the return flight. They risked crashing into the Channel.

They chose the latter, the engines held, and they landed back at base (the engines were scrapped).

I have my dad's "Lucky Bastard" certificate, he earned it :-) He passed away a few years ago, I doubt there are more than a handful of WW2 aviators left.

no. optane is something like twice the speed of the 850 at random read. have it as a boot drive and ive been living in the future. i mean its great something like the 850 is as cheap as it is. but i can barely tell the difference between that and any sata drive. to be fair, it depends on your use case. look at real world benchmarks measured in human timescales (actual honest comparisons are rare in these reviews, because then this stuff wouldnt sell affiliate links). i cant help but feel consumer pc parts are merely for videogame consoles. the ssd and ddr speed crap, lack of ecc, etc.. building machines with this stuff is almost like a videogame itself -- my ssd scored 1,937,533 points on synthscore 3.5!

Basically that. I find that inventing something is a mindset - more than a gift - and you either have the drive/creativity to invent something or you don't.

So is vim? Not to rehash the same battle that’s likely older than most of us are, but both emacs and vim are text editors taken to their logical conclusion. Both can do pretty much the exact same thing as each other, if only because some neckbeard in the 80s wrote that feature to score points in the great vim/emacs saga.

> If the customer is a risk of non-payment, the bank will elect not to lend to them.

This seems a little glib. Everyone is a risk of non-payment. I have total confidence that over ten years of operation, there will be at least one occurrence of non-payment.

If you're actually providing 0% financing -- you pay the tradesperson $X up front and collect $X over the next 24 months -- that would mean you start out being able to employ zero people, and even the most infinitesimal risk of non-payment immediately puts you in the red.

Something I have always found insane is all the regulations and paperwork hurdles around killing mice in labs. Want to kill 10 mice humanely in a lab then you need to fill out a 60 page report, send it off to an ethics committee for their opinion, and then wait 3 months. Want to kill a few hundred million mice in the wild with a poison that will result is a slow and painful death - go for it.
Is Glacial (as in glacially slow) a good name for a CPU project?
Unless you encounter a firmware bug that causes premature death of a drive, the wearout of a SSD is pretty predictable and is based on the volume of data written rather than time elapsed. NAND flash memory has limited write endurance, and that can be measured by testing individual dies far more quickly than testing an entire SSD to death.

Based on known program/erase cycle limits for the NAND they're using, SSD manufacturers can make pretty accurate projections for how long (in TB written) the drive as a whole can survive, accounting for how that drive's controller manages the flash and what kind of write amplification can be expected from the intended workloads.

The most significant limitation where manufacturers have to go out on a limb with their projections pertains to the standard requirement that a consumer SSD needs to be able to retain its data in a read-only state for a year after reaching the end of its rated write endurance. NAND manufacturers can very quickly bring flash to that level of wear, but they can't wait a year to measure retention characteristics before shipping. So they make projections based on high-temperature accelerated testing.
My next door neighbour is a lawyer. I asked about her workflow when visiting during the lockdown.

There's about 40 lawyers in her office, and they have a lot of ongoing cases between all their clients. She spends some of her time each week "filing". For her this means sifting through the firehose of emails and documents that their office receives and assigning every one to the correct case, marking if it needs attention (and from whom), tagging the types of documents, etc etc.

She does all this from home through a custom workflow built on top of Outlook. I'm sure its not pretty in the backend, but can you name a system that would let her do her job more effectively? MacOS Mail? Gmail? Hah! No. Outlook is the tool they use; and it looks like it works well - even working from home.

I don't use anything in the office suite myself, but for my neighbour's office I don't think there's a better choice. Hate on outlook if you want, it solves problems for real users.
I love Emacs, but I think it’s safe to say that it’s a lot harder to use than Visual Studio Code, which is vastly more popular. I think what made VSCode popular was the availability of many high-quality extensions for major languages. Unfortunately, my experience with Elisp packages is that they tend to be much less stable. This is changing some with LSP mode, of course, but I think the Emacs community would do well to focus on improving the story for plug-in stability in the long-term. I already have to install use-package to make handling packages reasonable, which is not something I have to do in other editors. Manually setting up hooks for them is a pain in the ass too.

I once submitted a bug to the Emacs mailing list and after determining it was indeed a defect, a flame war ensued between maintainers of different subsystems that were competing over how a specific feature was supposed to be used, which was the source of the bug. It was offputting and felt juvenile. Social problems are inevitable in any open source project, but I can’t help but wonder if the highly dynamic nature of Emacs Lisp causes more problems than a less dynamic language would.
Oh this is very exciting!

Not exactly Nyxt (which looks amazing), but that people are are starting to "emacs" the web. There's a social process whenever humans make a thing where we rumble around a lot and try different things and eventually we settle on a kinda-ok-for-now-if-I-can-make-some-adjusments thing (like how I just used written english).

I'm a little skeptical (for me) that we've arrived at a 'durable state' for the web. I think it may change a little too quickly for it to make sense (for me) to invest time into learning this particular browser but I am very excited about the trend.

P.S. you might wonder how he went from B-17 navigator to P-51 pilot. After WW2, he rejoined the AF in order to be a fighter pilot. Wound up flying quite a diverse collection of machines.

The thing about EE&E is that it's not exclusively a Microsoft strategy. Anyone who develops a popular extension to a standardized format is inherently putting the standard at risk until and unless competing implementations "catch up" and those extensions are adopted back into the standard. Hell, this is what caused the UNIX Wars, and even GNU is guilty of EE&E on the C standard - try compiling the Linux kernel with anything other than GCC (or maybe LLVM) and see how that works.

Google does this a lot too - and usually, when they do it, everything's Free anyway so nobody cares right away. Chrome has basically ended the development of any competing browsing engine by proposing so many standards extensions that only Google's outsized staff could implement them. WebKit survives purely by mandate of the iOS App Store, and Firefox is basically funded by Google anyway. This is arguably more effective EE&E than Microsoft was able to do with Internet Explorer.

(Side note: the whole Oracle/Google lawsuit is basically Oracle trying to litigate EE&E of Java out of existence. This is part of the reason why I can't fully condemn it. If it's wrong for Microsoft to add new class libraries to their own JVM, then it's also wrong for Google to do the same thing. I'd rather live in a world where we can reimplement proprietary extensions, than one where every Free standard has copyright litigation risk associated with it.)
I've found denormalization to be helpful for such performance issues in that it reduces the number of joins. It can also be useful for debugging if you want to keep track of values from other tables at the time that data was processed within the primary table.

> The metric is also very human friendly: think of it as 30% of players in the given position, at the given game’s stage and state, successfully continued on to a victory

What I am trying to say is that this is a meaningless piece of information, because that's not how games work. You can't freeze the game state and say "I have a xx% chance to win here", because the state of the game continues evolving over time.

If you were actually estimating your chance to win, it would be a forecast. Except if it's anything like this kind of NN [0], then it is literally just estimating based on a snapshot of game state and not the context of the game. At best, this "win probability" is snapshot estimate of the current game state and has nothing to do with the actual outcome of the game.

This value is also impossible to falsify, so it could be spitting out any random number and you can't say that it's wrong.

That makes sense, since the underlying storage is probably log-structured/lazy write, whereas there is no way to perform reads other than actually reading the data. So reads would probably be a harder workload to optimize for than writes.

Indeed. Though I'm kind of sad that mouse gestures and voice control haven't gone mainstream yet. Keeping one hand on mouse and another on keyboard with voice scrolling was a nice combo. And the lower the bar for customizability the more accessible for differently abled users.
