I’ve heard that about SSDs and EEPROMs. They don’t require a 27V or whatever supply anymore because they’ll generate it on-die with charge pumps.

But charge pumps are inefficient (like 25% efficient), take up a lot of die Space.

It would be better to have a switch mode PS generate the voltages required for erasing (effectively required for every write). On a USB key, whatever, but on a 24/7 system or laptop, it can matter.

Maybe it’s a thing now, but it’s very recent:

It's pretty much the same thing for people that say things like all guns should be banned. (This is not a stance I support BTW).

But who knows in ten years the opposite reaction might be true.
This is a pretty cold take, imo. There are plenty of ways shady people slip through systems and background checks without any malice assigned to the process.

That being said, the real issue here is how Reddit is covering up and stonewalling the situation. Classic Reddit to fumble the ball at every given opportunity.
I think harmless is working at a grocery store or writing code for a smart lightbulb, not helping to decide what stays and what goes on a website with a really problematic history of managing what is acceptable content in terms of child pornography, among other things.

I think redditors have a right to be skeptical, especially when there are so many people like her husband trying to attach pedophilia to the LGBT cause.

Take this with a big grain of salt, but I vaguely remember tp not being great at using prepared statements / safe quoting provided by the db driver - has that been improved (if it ever was a problem)? Is it easy for plug-ins to accidentally open up to sql injection?
I don’t think interpreters were ever banned, if you weren’t executing code downloaded from the internet: at least, there’s always been a variety of lisp/Python/Ruby environments available to play with.

Buying high-end GPUs? Basically don't bother. You can sign up for the Newegg shuffle which happens at least once a week and hope you get picked to buy an RTX 3070 but even those are pretty expensive. People often brag about how they subscribe to notification bots which tell them when Best Buy gets restocked, but for every buyer who got lucky, there were hundreds of people who dropped what they were doing just to be told that the card is now out-of-stock and has been removed from their shopping cart.

For lower end GPUs? They're ridiculously expensive, but if a card was $100 originally and you have to pay 200% the cost due to shortages, it hurts but it's still doable.

Like others have said, it's too bad that you already have a rig, because now is a great time to buy prebuilt PCs. The '/r/buildapcsales' subreddit usually has people sharing the link whenever a decently specced prebuilt PC goes on sale.

> A great deal of their difficulty is, of course, the difficulty of the subject and the inapplicability of the scientific method to the subject.

"Inapplicability of the scientific method to the subject" is exactly what I wish was more widely appreciated. Perhaps I would just rephrase it to say that "the scientific method won't get the same results it does in other fields". It's not that psychologists/etc are stupid or malicious. If you talk to any big player in that field they will gladly acknowledge all the problems. A lot of research will try various things to minimize some of the limitations. Nobody will hate you for pointing it out. But the problem is none of that can ever work. And if you take that position there's just no place for you in these fields other than being a hater.

Take something simple like non/fake respondent bias. Everybody knows about it. Nobody flat out "denies" it. But most sketchy fields think they can work around it. You can do better than the other study, but you cannot cancel it out. It's fundamental. I don't care how stable the result is. If what you're studying can only ever be ascertained by asking people you're basically a pollster. You're studying people's responses, not the "nature" of some psychological concept you came up with.

This is not to say all the work is useless. Polls, stock market models and these kinds of things can be useful in a very bounded context. But pretending it works like some other fields where you can just build on top of previous results is a futile endeavor. I'm not going to argue the science/not science part, I'm fine with people calling it "science" if applying the same methods is the only criterion. I think useful/not useful is a better debate. For example, biology, medicine in particular, is IMO rife with sketchy stuff, but once in a while the field can indeed knock it out of the park and produce something useful.

I can't figure out where this association ever came about. I literally only ever hear the phrase "bastion of free speech" when it's in relation to Reddit and not any other social media platform.

> I am anxious not only for my family, but for society at large

Absolutely; I didn't mean to underplay how privileged I still am, that my worst-case scenario is spending more than I'd like to on housing or moving somewhere less-pleasant to live. Lots of people are in much worse positions right now and I'm really hoping something gives at some point. I just wanted to air/discuss the source of my own (much smaller by comparison) frustrations, given that lots of people here can probably relate.
No one really cared about her or any of this until Reddit started banning anyone who mentioned her name...

So yeah, people now want her to be fired as retribution for the events that have transpired over the last few days.

But also, what RMS did is not comparable to what Aimee Challenor has done. The context is wildly different so your comparison is disingenuous.

Yes it can tell a lot about people who have the bandwidth to be able to be able to contribute to such. Others may and do have the same level of skill but didn't have the bandwidth to contribute to PRs, so by looking at PRs as an extra we're effectively penalizing those without time, which has the practical effect of biasing us against people with kids, people with a full time job and in grad school, or you name it. We shouldn't be biased against those people.

Any career, especially in our field, requires a high level of skill. We try our best to level the playing field for everyone while still getting a lot of signal in the interview process so end up eschewing things like school attended, talks given, OSS contributions in evaluating candidates. Anecdotally we've seen little correlation with these sorts of things and interview ability or ability at the job after being hired.

Well that's just AC/DC which is similar to the PSU of a computer or laptop. The monitor, itself, has voltage regulation for much lower volts that the one connected to the mains.
"made it easy" != "invented". Anyway, it looks like this thread has devolved into banality, so I'll be ducking out.

We spent some time on making up a quite simple project with a readme about the tasks to be implemented. It's something that can be done in half an hour when you are fast and we always thought we need to make it a bit harder. Turns out it's good enough to weed out quite many people who can't keep a deadline or don't get their shit together in other ways. From reviewing the code you can judge how people think, if they keep their files and code in order, use git etc. We also prompt people do document their process in finding a solution.
Nobody's calling you crazy.

I am however saying that you're making super vague claims with very strong words.

It just means a disparaging remark or a slight. I don't care about the noun, so if you want to suggest a more accurate one I'm happy to edit my comment above. What I care about is that you (or anyone) not post putdowns like that, because it leads at best to crappier discussion and at worst to hellish flamewar. Being a member of the disparaged group doesn't help, at least not on the internet, where such nuances get lost immediately.

Re "half-joking, self-depreciating", I believe you, but such things don't communicate themselves, as this thread already demonstrates. The burden is on the commenter to disambiguate intent. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...
> I mean most reasonable people would not believe their parent capable of such horrors, even if they were charged.

Blind faith in friends/family is absolutely NOT reasonable. If I'm supposed to believe a system convicts strangers accurately, then it follows people you know are accurately convicted.
Gitlab has a post money valuation of $6b on revenue of around $150m+. It’s not “winning” but arguably it’s okay to be #3 (behind Atlassian / Bitbucket though they’re more diversified). It’s clearly doing fine enough to IPO or get bought at a premium. They have some huge customers that refuse to use GitHub.

I do question the “kitchen sink” product strategy and whether it’s sustainable -
Atlassian pulled it off by building a product line rather than an all-in-one.

There's really no need to make this conversation uncivil by refusing to use a trans person's pronouns.
Certainly D has a lot of support for hobbyists and solo developers, but hasn't seen much adoption from industry.

It's a tough language to sell to a large organization. When you're a solo developer D gives you the flexibility and freedom to pursue the many different paradigms that it supports and create your own mini-dialect of the language that suits you perfectly. You can sprinkle some garbage collection here if you want, some meta programming there if you'd like, or narrow things down to a barebones strongly typed C-like language. There's a great deal of exploratory freedom in that respect.

When you're in industry, those freedoms can become liabilities because you end up paying the cost of the language supporting things you have no use for. I don't want to pay for D's garbage collector and I don't large teams all writing up elaborate template metaprograms that have to be maintained. If I wanted a garbage collector, then C# or Java is almost certainly the better choice. If metaprogramming is what I want, I'd use a Lisp dialect like Clojure. For any specific feature D has that would be a major selling point or competitive advantage for my company, there's another language that is almost certainly far better suited to providing it. There isn't one single language that does everything D has, but there's also no single project that would want to make use of all those features, and this becomes very apparent when you see how fractured the D community is and how many mini-dialects of the language there are. Do I support GC or not? Do I make it compatible with betterC or not (meaning exception support).

Having a kitchen sink like language results in those kinds of trade-offs. Good language for carving out a niche for yourself that can adapt to your specific style of programming and give you as an individual a great deal of expressive freedom... bad for when you need to coordinate with a large team and buckle down on a small set of rigorous and specialized features that are likely better served by using a tool focused on delivering it.
Corollary - let’s say I start exercising more and lose weight. I used to eat 100kg now I weigh 90kg. Where did the 10kg go?
Yea I haven’t found a way to do that, I know many trans people who are absolute bastards but can’t really say that out loud if I care for my reputation.
This kind of emerging technology is just so fascinating and has endless opportunity to just imagine how it's all playing out.

Thinking of how one might deploy a test drone against an adversary in a way that is undetectable seems remarkably easy these days - they could have a container fall off a cargo ship and deploy a vehicle sized drone from that after floating in a shipping lane for a week or two at a safe depth.
When a person has a critical mass of accusations of sexual assaults, AND they are open about their support (or at least sympathy) for a well-known rapist and pedophile, the accusations start to become more and more plausible.
> CPAN is great, but also horrible. There are so many packages that do the same thing

IMO, that's a good thing. Imagine having only one choice at any layer in society (to make my example extreme): one type of house, one type of car, one type of computer, on type of OS, one type of file system, one type of programming language etc.

> Want OO? Use Moose, or Moo, or Mouse or whatever else.

This is true; no built-in "proper" OO has been a pain for Perl for a long time. However, I've used to love Mouse (like Moose, but a trillion times faster), and I've never had any problems with it.

There are plans to inject proper OO into Perl, though.[1]

> Then hope that the one you picked will continue to be maintained.

This is my biggest problem. I wish there was a "system" of sorts that let _groups of people_ adopt/take over a Perl module and Just Fix It (tm). Having only one person take over a module/package isn't good enough; there must be more people involved in fixing things.

One good example is Crypt::Curve25519[2] which could/should have been fixed years ago, but because the maintainer is inactive, it won't happen.

And now we're back to where we started: because things doesn't get fixed, people create their own versions of CPAN packages just for the F[ix|uck] of it.

The CPC propaganda department has ordered its local media to stagger the Oscars this year and downplay the event because this documentary short was nominated. https://variety.com/2021/film/asia/china-tells-media-stagger...

I watched it recently and thought it didn't go nearly far enough in highlighting the abuses by the HK police, and even glossed over or omitted some very important events that triggered the continued protests. I actually felt it was far too fair to the HKSAR government and police.

The fragility of the CPC and its fear in being portrayed in any negative light knows no limits.
The proposed idea is not viable for so high currents with so little ripple and microseconds transient responses.
Regarding arrest for accessing online information, I have become fascinated lately with the concept of legal warfare. It is the use of legal constructions to align other governments or subordinate bureaucracies to your strategic goals. For example, when Russia invaded Ukraine, they used the pretext that only volunteers from Russia were traveling to Ukraine to support a legal separatist movement.

Now none of these claims withstand any sort of legal scrutiny, but that's not the point. In the year or so it takes the Hague to spell out the obvious, that the Russian military in coordination with the Russian presidency created a bogus legal argument that aligns with their strategic goal of annexing as much of Eastern Europe as possible, the invasion is already completed and Donetsk is effectively a Russian vassal in the middle of Ukranian territory.

Just like in the time of the American Revolution guerilla tactics were innovations to the stodgy preconceptions of war that the British had, where they believed a gentleman's war should be fought by squares of men taken broadsides at regular intervals, we must recognize that armed conflicts today are always accompanied by legal warfare, the legal activities that support broader strategic objectives.
Pretty cool dude.

This old stuff by internet standards but historically the reddit administration has been uncomfortably friendly to pedophiles on its site.

It, for YEARS, had at least a dozen (public!) subs that were explicitly for exchanging sexual photos of underaged people and it was an open secret that DMs with power users there was a way to access actual child porn.

They gave a site-wide award to a power-mod who managed a huge number of these and other awful subs. They finally banned the subreddits when it got media attention. People on the site had been calling for them to do it for years.

I'm aware of what hormones do, I did plenty of research before getting on them. I take hormones so that my body is feminized, which I like. But I don't present as a stereotypically feminine woman in terms of long hair, dress or makeup. I'm not sure why that is so hard to understand.

I'm usually perceived as a gender-nonconforming woman, which is how I'd like to be perceived as. The only reason people like me are uncommon is selection pressure due to medical gatekeeping. There are a lot of trans people who have no interest in conforming to gendered expectations, but are coerced to by the threat of losing access to medically necessary healthcare.

Medical gatekeeping is not "a fact of life" that can't be changed. There's less of it where I live and it works out just fine. Informed consent is the modern protocol and the rest of the world should adopt it, but GCs in places like the UK oppose that and want to reinforce silly stereotypes like "if you don't wear a dress you're not a real trans woman".

---

edit to respond: sigh, no, transness does not hinge on gender expression. It hinges on gender identity and subconscious sex, neither of which are the same thing as gender expression. Gender identity is only somewhat related to social conceptions of gender expression.

What a lot of GCs do is deny the existence of gender identity. But that's just empirically false based on the evidence from millions of trans people worldwide, which includes literally me as a human being, writing this comment right now.

It is important to note that this is a contingent fact about Homo sapiens—it is possible that a different species with our level of intelligence doesn't have anything called a gender identity. But humans do.

Please read Whipping Girl. It goes into all this in quite some detail.
The practice of cargo cults in Papua is actually far more interesting than Feynman gives it credit for. It's worth going and reading about them. There was a whole lot of other social stuff tied up in them beyond "oh, we want cargo."
There are definitely jurisdictions where this has been found not to be the case. In Australia the protection of databases is incredibly murky[1].

Yeah this is hard. Honestly E. Cezar Chavez is lucky in a lot of ways because Pio and the Brit are so active in the community. The one thing I can say is that you should meet your neighbors, join in if there's a block party and just generally talk to people in-person. If you do that, I'm sure you'll meet someone who is at least the de-facto community leader.

But whatever you do, stay off of NextDoor -- nothing good happens there.

As just one anecdote, the mere presence of a GC made me stop looking at D more or less immediately. In terms of positioning, I think D would be better served focusing on a vertical.
The reason why the VRM is tightly integrated with the asic is that there are extremely stringent constraints on the power integrity connecting these two parts. To first order, a decent GPU draws about 1000 amps of current, so even a single milliohm of resistance would absorb the entire voltage supply. Not just the ripple tolerance, the entire power rail! This is before we even get into the ludicrous requirements on transient behavior, inductance, etc, of the connection.

They do make GPUs with a socket for the asic (typically only used in test labs) so it is theoretically possible that you could for example... buy a 2070 carrier and then get nvidia to sell you a 2080 asic to socket into the carrier. But generally the technologies used in GPUs change every generation (memory technology, number of memory channels, display technologies, etc) so you probabably wouldn't be able to keep your carrier more than 1 maybe 2 generations tops.
