If you read the comments on the story, the author did appear to have reverse engineered several of the Apple branded PAL chips on the board. So he was able to program new ATMEL PAL16R8Bs as replacements.
I've used a similar technique on sites for many, many years .. specifically using the calc function to define body-level font sizes (page dimensions ratios) for each breakpoint, which can then be used to size everything else on the page (eg. img = 16rem; margin = 2.4em). It works really well, and saves a lot of time with responsive design as you only need to consider each breakpoint / ratio change. I don't think it's a particularly novel concept though.
I didn’t expect too many clever features but the special link hot keys and tree based history is something I didn’t know I wanted but now I do
I’m refuting the notion that “follow the science” is sufficient strategy for a pandemic or for anything. It’s in the category “necessary but not sufficient.” We also have to actually understand the science.
And since the amount of GPUs won't go up magically by inventing another product there will be too few anyway or the price will go up. There's nothing to win by doing so which is why people condemned Nvidia for doing it.

Reading through the front pages, one would never know this was an ‘African American’ newspaper, as it is no different from any other. It is quite racist to even mention that fact that it is ‘African American’.
Another way to compensate for bad high school is after-school math programs. They often teach math at a higher level that even the beat high school.

They are way more affordable that private school tool - the prices go from “free” (if you are in bay area) to $3k/year.
> I recently inherited a 32-bit laptop that runs Vista, any recommendations of what version of Linux to try?

I'll have to check to be sure that it is 32bit(l/top is downstairs and I'm lazy), but I do my personal projects on a 2008 Asus that came with Vista and 2GB of RAM. I literally use it daily using:

1. Emacs
2. Vim + every plugin you can think of for development
3. GCC + all the devtools for C development
4. Standard gui tools (browser, some solitaire games, dia for diagrams, etc).

I am pretty certain I am using this: https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=255

Once again, I might be wrong (although "pretty certain" covers that), but you can give it a try.
The easiest way is to not assume you yourself are very intelligent. Once you can do that, it's a lot easier since you are suddenly not "surrounded by idiots." Even the smartest people can get duped by their own hubris. Otherwise, I guess you might as well grab a blanket and settle into a comfy superiority complex.
A cesspool of trolls? :-)

(not saying it isn't also a huge museum btw)
About ten years ago I worked at a startup where things could get heated at times, though I doubt it's anywhere near as bad as what many people here are talking about.

I remember two instances pretty clearly: in one, the CEO and head of architecture were having a 1:1. The CEO got a bit shouty, and the head of architecture very calmly said, "Don't talk to me like that. If you do it again, I'm walking out the door and never coming back".

Unfortunately in another incident, with a different coworker and his boss, my coworker did get pissed enough at his boss' tone that he walked out of the conference room, slammed the door, left the building, and never came back.

This is all just toxic garbage. The people in power require that their employees "act professionally", but then feel free to heap verbal abuse on their people. Not ok in any situation. If you're unhappy enough with an employee's performance that you feel the need to yell at them, you either just have anger management issues and should see a therapist, or they're a bad employee, and you should step back, calm down, and after you're calm, fire them.

> Then my boss came in and asked me if I could build a client demo. After I responded sure, he said we needed it in 3 hours

This is why I never agree to anything until they tell me the deadline :-P

The unintelligent part is assuming you got enough context in 2 minutes to start making suggestions. You end up breaking discovery process for the other person.

It can help to frame it as questions and curiosity instead.
I often think that if I had one supernatural wish to make, I’d like to inhabit the inner-life and sensations of someone else. See, feel, hear, think, intuit, and fear like they do. Not as an observer, but as a first-hand experience. Whether that person is dumb, hyper-intelligent, manic, depressed, or autistic.

As I mature I’m starting to appreciate how very different our inner-experiences can be. Even for something as simple as what we experience when we count silently in our heads: Some people hear a voice counting numbers, some see the numbers without auditory cues, and some feel the counting as pulses in their bodies.

For this reason, I would very much like to inhabit someone else to feel just how divergent those experiences may be.
Ah, now I realise why there's no explicit redo command in Emacs. I thought it was just Stallman and friends being weird.
Presumably by charging more money overall.
Interesting, I just switched from chrome to edge and am very impressed with the speed.
It definitely depends on what you want to do. If you really want to design RF or analog circuits, having a mastery of undergrad EE signals and systems courses would be helpful. But if you only want to make digital logic work, you only need some basic knowledge of circuitry.

EE is a vast field that encompasses everything from high power transmission to designing semiconductors. Even full course work from undergrad to PhD in EE is going to be fairly specialized.

All that being said, I agree that if you just want to learn how to build a catalog of reasonably simple circuits, learning academic EE is a waste of time.
I think you need to be attuned to your own emotional state before you can perceive and respond to the emotions of others.
I thought about doing this a while back, but I quickly gave up. I don’t know if I’m just an idiot or something, but I quickly found my self way out of my league unable to understand a lot of the foundational theory and physics. I also picked up a handful of textbooks in the particular domains I’m interested in (boy were those expensive) and those were even worse, filled to the brim with notation I’ll never understand. Part of it is likely to my extremely poor math education in fairness.

I’ll add, I was somewhat surprised, given the explosion in MOOCs over the past few years, to find very few courses equivalent to introductory undergrad EE classes.
I majored in Finance over 10 years ago and this was common knowledge then. A recruiter even warned us about it. Graduates still applied for the program. It's just bankers larping as Navy SEALs in BUD/S training.
Nyxt seems really cool. I have a vague hope in the back of my mind that itll eventually be an emacs-like editor as well as browser. It seems like it could be a cool lispy answer to things like vscode etc.

I think this is how you get highly superficial people with layers that don't make sense stacked on top of each other.

I've done this. Don't waste your time. If you'd like to do this in a real way, identify the values in the other person that lead to that trait. Then compare it to your values. Then pretend you're doing it and see what fears come up along the way. Talk to your fears about it and see if there's a way around it -- your fears are a part of you after all. And they're very much able to engage in conversation if you push a little consciousness their way and bring them to more of a conversational and not trauma-time-all-the-time kind of place.

The first approach may seem to work at first and will get you near and close, but not truly intimate with people. It's the loneliest kind of isolation and misery possible -- thinking you're the person that you've aspired to be, but still missing everything.

Learn from my mistakes on this one and please, I'd absolutely encourage that you avoid the author's advice too, if you can help it! :)))) Real and silly > perfect and pristine, any day, not matter what or how the opinions of others strike us (much to the despair of the parts of us that deeply rely on others and the opinions of others for our own self-worth).

They also know and have experienced things you haven't.

I'd say that listen their description of the problem is the first (and maybe easy) part. But then you don't have to provide your solution, but rather find it together with that person.

Treating the other person as intelligent as you helps sharing the problem solving part instead of doing it individually.
Cuneiform math isn't the most terrible. It's 'column' based, like the modern arabic version we have. However, at some times they lacked the 0 representation.

Roman numerals, however, are quite difficult. In addition to the problems with basic manipulations (27-9, or XXVI - IX), they also lacked any higher symbols than 1000 (M in Roman). So for 15,000 you have to write MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I'll spare you numbers like 1,000,000.

Here's a good video on how to do math in Cuneiform, and a brief discussion on Roman numerals:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR3zzQP3bII

Strangely, Numberphile has yet to do a video on Roman/Chinese number systems. Maybe because it's really hard to do math with them, and that's a bit boring to just show that it's hard.

EDIT: I have been misinformed, Chinese numbers are in fact easy to work with.
True - but arguably Trump was too slow to invoke it and it wasn't broad enough. And states had to bid against each other to get PPE, only to have the Feds then seize confiscate some of them.

My main point was we should have had a coordinated response. Framing it as "leaders decided to indefinitely maintain crippling restrictions" is misleading. Lockdowns were necessary at the local level because there wasn't a coherent strategy at the national level. (Again, speaking only of the U.S.)
>Once I’m done, then what? At the present, I don’t have a clear picture of how to transition from studying to working with brain-computer interfaces.

Buy some BCIs and reverse engineer them, possibly. Maybe try to improve them. You might want to reach out to the authors of the papers you've been reading for advice. Neuralink put a BCI in a pig so try figuring out how they did it, and maybe they'll give you a job? Even Elon's pitch for recruitment during that presentation was "we don't know much about the brain anyway", and mostly just want you to have solved hard problems. There likely won't be a straight-forward path since this stuff isn't commercialized yet.
If I hack a printer to have it add an invisible code to documents, that I then use to track down its owner, that would be a criminal act. Except if I built the printer and added the backdoor in the factory. But if the owner of the printer tries to remove this backdoor, they run into my DRM, and breaking it makes them the criminal.

Are manufacturers simply exempt from laws, by virtue of having built something? Can they impose their will on others, and have the law prevent any kind of push back, by that same virtue? Items are treated as still belonging to their manufacturer, and buyers are reduced from owners to mere users.
> the dude made a wrong turn with Rust and didn't with Zig.

Yes, this one guy made a wrong turn once. If you want to conclude from one user making a mistake that a language is complex then you're just going to conclude that programming is complex … Everyday, with every language under the sun, people make mistakes, great discovery.

I'm not blaming “the user®” here, I'm blaming the blog post writer who makes a mistake and concludes that his tool is responsible for it and that he should tell the world how bad the tool is.

> Like I said, without metrics we're just trading subjective anecdotes.

Well that sentence is pretty ironic given the previous one, nevermind.

> We could compare the sizes of compilers for C and Rust.

I wonder what conclusion you'd draw from such a comparison. That assembly is the least complex language in existence, followed by Brainfuck and Chicken?

> We could teach each to different randomized groups of students and see how quickly people learn to write (safe!) code in each.

Oh I actually like this one. For Rust, you'd need to run a study to find out, but for C the answer is trivial: Never. Nobody on earth know how to write safe C. Not even DJB, not even Theo de Raadt, or Richard Hipp, or Brad Spengler. For almost 50 years, the brightest minds of computer science have tried to write safe C code, and consistently failed. Can we conclude that this language is a little bit too complex for humans, or should we wait a few decades more?
Situation without this CPU feature: Cops compromise the ME, disable Boot Guard, compromise your firmware, backdoor your OS directly
Situation with this CPU feature: Cops compromise the ME, disable Boot Guard, compromise your firmware, backdoor your CPU so it can later backdoor your OS

There's not really a meaningful difference between these! If there's an exploitable ME vulnerability then the police can absolutely own your system in an undetectable way regardless of whether or not this feature exists. If we were in a different universe where the ME enabled whether or not the CPU was in debug mode but wasn't responsible for any other security features then we'd care about this a great deal more, but as long as compromising the ME already gives you a way to permanently backdoor the system it's doesn't make any real difference.

In retrospect, my comment sounds more dramatic than I intend. I'm not recommending that, I'm just saying it's not worth letting yourself get too invested in a company or role that you really don't have much agency over. Your personal investment should be commensurate with your control and influence.
> That's a for loop.

I take it you've never read any Python? That's a forEach. Python doesn't even have a for loop construct (though it does have while, which is equivalent).

Yes, that's the point, that's an illustration of terminating the forEach before you've processed each element.
The word "turbocharger" was introduced to shorten the phrase "turbine supercharger", whether driven by the crankshaft or by the exhaust. Later, it came to mean "exhaust driven turbine supercharger" pretty much exclusively.

I don't have any dates for these usages.

From a New Yorker article about another Chinese proverb， 邯郸学步：

"One of the best known is “Handan xue bu” (“learning to walk in Handan”), which refers to the story of a young man from the provinces who hears that the people of Handan are so sophisticated that they walk in a special way. He goes to Handan to learn, but, years later, he still hasn’t mastered the gait. Dejected, he heads home. He finds that he can’t remember his own way of walking, and has to crawl. The moral: don’t copy others, or you’ll lose yourself."
No. me_cleaner reduces the amount of code running on your ME, and as such reduces the attack surface presented by the ME. But anyone with physical access (which is required for the interestingly exploitable ME vulnerabilities) is in a position to just put whatever ME firmware they want on your system.

The power of contingency. It's always been a huge factor in everything from cosmology to evolution. No surprise that pandemics are highly contingent events as well.
I have some recommendations for you as an EE graduate, you can club Digital Circuits and Systems, Embedded Systems and Digital Hardware with one book in one continuous course with

the book Digital Design and Computer Architecture by Harris and Harris (A RISC V Edition will release soon in 2-3 months, buy that one)

For Electronic circuits choose Microelectronics by Behzad Razavi. Instead of Purcell go for "Engineering Electromagnetics with Ida", it is more intuitive.

And th first book you should start with is "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits"

Then you go for DDCA and Ida in parallel.

The list does give me head scrather, this is too broad to be ever accomplished. My recommendation to redo the list is first find out what piques your interest in EE, Digital hardware, analog hardware or control systems or embedded systems and try to have a self study focus in that concentration.

The way I see it with this plan you are setting yourself up for failure.

Edit:Removed the ditching recommendation as I see it relevant to OP's goals.

What else should they be doing? You an advertising genius? Maybe cut off free youtube entirely? Only a free hour a day? Show me someone else that's in the same situation, by order of magnitude, and doing a better job by your standards.

Come back to reality, mate. Server bills (repair, licensing, etc) and rent and people running the servers and dear god so much else needs to be paid. YT is providing a service, a service that ain't free.
It's great to learn this; I hear so many "alpha male" references (or a gender-neutral "alpha") when talking about human behavior, and it's always rubbed me the wrong way. Even if wolves did have this sort of social structure, it's absurd to immediately assume that humans work the same way. Good to know it's rubbish even when talking about wolves.

> (I'm a physicist who transitioned to working as an EE. I have never had a single EE course, and yet I find myself with no obvious deficits compared to my colleagues who have.)

Not to dunk on the rest of your reply, which I agree with, but there is a humongous overlap between your typical undergraduate physics and electrical engineering degree, and I think you're able to be successful because they're so similar. Academically, the required courses are mostly identical until your 3rd year and if you choose an RF, microwave, or semiconductor physics specialization it's just more of the same applied physics, so it would make sense you would easily be able to pick up the concepts necessary with experience.
