We've tried contacting OEMs about some of the more buggy behaviors we've seen related to their power optimization features. Unsurprisingly, even when we did get ahold of someone in the US who was senior enough to understand the problem, they had limited ability to influence the China-based operations of the company. Getting whitelisted seems nearly impossible unless you are a large company with a major presence in China and connections to the OEMs.

Google has hinted that they are working on something to improve the situation, but it's been years without resolution and the problem appears to have become worse instead of better.

> Windows boots faster, feels faster, and benchmarked GPU and CPU considerably faster than macOS on the exact same hardware.

I put Windows 10 on my old MacBook Pro and was shocked by how much more responsive it felt in Windows than in macOS. I thought the hardware was just too old because it was starting to feel sluggish in macOS, but Windows runs perfectly well on it.

Maybe Apple can continue to evolve their hardware fast enough that their software doesn’t need to be as efficient, but share your feelings that we’d all be better off if Apple had made responsiveness a priority.

An interesting indictment of sugar from 2013 ;

Sugar Policy, Health Care, and the Law

https://www.c-span.org/video/?314740-1/sugar-policy-health-c...

Where Dr. Lustig posits that sugar [over-consumption] is actually a public health issue.

"Robert H. Lustig is an American pediatric endocrinologist. He is Professor emeritus of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where he specialized in neuroendocrinology and childhood obesity. He is also director of UCSF's WATCH program (Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health), and president and co-founder of the non-profit Institute for Responsible Nutrition."
Adding to my first reply: if Trinitron displays were gone (it appears they aren't), and some newer tech isn't, that would NOT contradict the Lindy effect.

If you already KNOW that Trinitron displays are gone, then there's no uncertainty. The Lindy effect is a heuristic for making decisions under uncertainty.

The relevant situation is if you have two things that still exist, and you want to guess which one will last longer. This doesn't override other facts about the domain -- it's SOME information in the absence of any other knowledge. It's for poker players, not scientists.

The example I gave was the new cloud blog startup vs. the old hosting platform. Which one would you put your blog on if you wanted people to read it 5 years from now? All other things being equal, I'd take the old hosting platform. But if you think the startup has a really good business model or you like the founders, maybe you choose that one. It's just common sense.

Another example might be cold-blooded crocodiles vs. a warm-blooded mouse as an example. All things being equal, you could guess that the crocodiles will survive further into the future, since they were here first. But someone with a specific theory or expertise could also argue that the bigger animal is less likely to survive, etc.

Similarly, we already know that dinosaurs are gone. This isn't a situation where you need to act or make a prediction.

Someone who understands Bayesian statistics can probably explain it better than me, but you have to take into account existing knowledge, and update it with new knowledge. Picking out something that you know is obsolete isn't relevant.

The ocean is clearly a better option.

First, water itself acts as an absorbent of the emitted radiation. So the only living things which take up the radiation are those which consume the water.

Second, unlike heavy metals, the uptake of heavy water isn't especially driven by biology. They don't soak up and concentrate the radiation.

Third, there is a lot more water in the ocean than the atmosphere. In the ocean it will dilute to nearly unmeasurable levels. In the atmosphere it will fall back down as rain and concentrate in our water supply, irrigation, and crops.

This is a common criticism but still extremely shallow. JPA/Hibernate is still the best way to actually produce working applications if you have to use an SQL database for some reason. To go point by point:

Mutable datastructures with default constructors and setters: yes, mutable entities suck. Unfortunately SQL is fundamentally built around mutable entities. Every field of your POJO is writable because every column of your database is writable. The impedance mismatch is big enough already without trying to make objects that behave differently from your database. Yes, an object shouldn't just be a datastructure with methods; unfortunately an SQL table row is just a datastructure, and classes are the only mechanism Java offers for representing such a thing. Same for mutable collections.

Reflection (which is the reason classes must be non-final): again, sucks, again, the only way to do something like this in Java.

Lazy loading is wonderful. Put your session in your view, write a normalised set of entities that actually model your domain, and get on with your life. Don't worry about the details of what loads when unless and until you have to.

Those who don't understand Hibernate caching are doomed to reinvent it poorly.

Don't use your database as an API. Yes, Hibernate/JPA needs to own your database. That's as it should be. SQL databases are way too complex to be shared between independent applications.

Do you really think people who can't be bothered to learn and understand Hibernate properly are somehow going to take the time to learn and understand "vanilla SQL"? Why?

None of the problems listed here are problems of JPA/Hibernate. They're problems of SQL databases which are surfaced through JPA/Hibernate, but if you skip out on JPA/Hibernate you still get exactly the same problems (maybe in a slightly less recognisable form). The real solution is to stop using these overrated datastores, but if you must use them then JPA/Hibernate is the least-bad way of doing so.

>Did you really expect Mozilla to care about Servo?

Yes. Servo represented a major technological differentiation from Chromium-based browsers while remaining competitive if not superior. A triumph in any real sense, not just for Mozilla but for everyone who cared about the future of the web.

>I'm sorry, but to them it was a experimental toy that didn't make them any money and they saw it as a cost center.

WebRender was part of that experimental toy, and it shipped to production years ago.

Cutting costs via way of sacking R&D is a type of short-term thinking that's so devoid of foresight it boggles the mind.
I started to get stressed out when my sister got cancer. I had headaches, back pain, panic attacks, developed agoraphobia and so on - all the spectrum of mental issues. I tried to approach all of them with weeding them out one by one(and did not look on all of that as a whole picture), so I tried medications, that were meant to cure my insomnia, then headaches(some of them made it even worse), got brain scanned etc. and could not understand the reason and why nothing worked. I just could not calm down, because thoughts that were occupying my mind in background could not just go pooh and vanish. More or less ALL of those symptoms(in most severe states) now are gone and I am now almost back to normal ~1 year later after my sister died. Because now I can afford not to think about her state - now I am able to achieve mindfulness about that situation, that now has gone, and I can occupy my mind with other thoughts, but it has become possible only because now it is too late to worry.

So, it is perfectly correct, that author of this article is talking about mindfulness in regards with imaginary threats and that is very useless for me, as that type of threats actually does not make me stressed out, but inability to save close relative from death I can't perceive as imaginary threat, but it is (pardon my french) sh!t advice to suggest mindfulness in extreme cases(that require most help on anxieties), for example - for someone who would be freaking out over someone close who has died in car accident. The first step would be getting away from that place and not sing kumbaya on that spot.

Knowing that humans have evolved as most violent primates(with everyday aggression amongst themselves), I don't think that meditation is that good, compared to inability to release frustration and anger - from my experience I got a break after I had to deal with situations that required violent solution, so I realized, that for me it had better therapeutical effect and more properly wired to my brains, than "coping" with stress and staying alive and healthy by inability to do anything and trying to meditate.

I mean, it is only really NOT "custom" if you have even considered using Groovy for anything other than Gradle; and like, while I remember there were people who seriously thought Groovy was "the future" 15-20 years ago, they were wrong.
I don't think there's that many places in MacOS where they write hand optimised assembly for either architecture. Looking at rust it seems like LLVM is optimising a lot of languages (specially that apple uses). This is platform independent.

The M1 is supposedly really fast, but it's not like they optimise userspace for either architecture.

Booting is different on the M1, but once the kernel is alive and well it's just RISC vs CISC.

>It should be noted that I don't work in the games industry though

Well there's yer problem!

The games industry is basically terrible - the management is full of people who don't understand the industry they're in and see their employees as cheaper-than-slave labor and their customers as open pocketbooks to take. In management's defense, nobody understands the game industry; it's ridiculously hit-driven and producing a "good" game involves taking on as much unmitigated risk as possible. The only risk mitigation strategy you can adopt is diversification - funding as many projects as possible. But that went away along with the PS2 when game development budgets skyrocketed and audience numbers plateaued.

Each one of the factors I mentioned above can be gone into with great detail:

1. "Cheaper-than-slave labor": Game studio employees are frequently replaced with fresh hires to keep costs down; expertise is a liability in an industry that remakes how to build a videogame every 5-10 years. You can survive this but it's at the expense of your own health and sanity. You will be abused, mentally and physically, by your studio for the privilege of working at a games company until you quit.

2. "Ridiculously hit-driven": Game studios can spend literal billions of dollars on a project nobody likes. Management wants to do this because games that don't screenshot well don't market well, so you need literal armies of artists to texture every tiny detail in these games and you need them to work 996 so the project ships anywhere close to on time. But that also increases risk which means we need the games to cost more, both in terms of up-front price and after-purchase DLC and microtransactions.

3. "No diversification": Diversification works well when your audience is large relative to your production costs. This hasn't been true since the PS2 era; most companies struggle to afford to make even one game that's up to modern quality standards - now you want to make hundreds of them so we can just "see what works"!? In fact, if you look at the libraries of, say, the PS3 to the PS4; you can almost spot the point at which publishers decided to just focus on one or two online games (which monetize very well) rather than tens or hundreds of projects (which are one-and-done things).

This has resulted in an extremely abusive working culture and I highly advise everyone I know getting into software development to not touch videogames with a ten-foot pole. Hell, I wouldn't even recommend it as a hobby: the "more, more, more, better, faster, and yesterday" mentality has even sunk into the people who play videogames. If your boss isn't berating you for not fixing up his fuckups fast enough, your customers will be literally threatening to kill you for having the balls to delay a broken game.

This has all been known since the early 2000s (look up easpouse on Wikipedia sometime if you want to know how much HASN'T changed); the entire games industry needs to crash and it needs to crash yesterday before any of this can be fixed.
I thought I knew almost every game for the 8-bit line. Don't recall this one, sort of a cross between Star Raiders and Rescue on Fractalus (aka Behind Jaggi Lines).
Not sure about that. With large screens 55" at home and over I can see a difference between FHD and 4K, enough to know I am having network problems when the streaming service starts to downscale the resolution in a 4k video.
Not sure who downvoted you, you're absolutely correct. The usual culprits are magnesium, vitamin D and calcium. Those can result in moderate depression and anxiety in otherwise healthy individuals. Getting tested is pretty cheap, pretty much everyone with anxiety, depression or chronic fatigue should get some simple bloodwork done first to rule out the easily correctable causes.

FWIW, garden-variety West Coast ER doc here. Right now, I'm an independent contractor who makes ~$200/h. In a few months when my small company gets acquired, I'll be a W-2 who for various reasons will make ~$160/h before CA taxes.

So, clearly not starving, and maybe even undeserving to be in the top 10--15% after working just ~24--36h/wk in night shifts. But won't make $$MILLIONS$$ and won't get as much as your average Googler with equivalent career experience to mine, I reckon. And also never made more than ~$50k in my life until my mid-30s.

Doctor pay is facing a whole lot of downward pressure from health insurers, private equity, and other FIRE people recently. Part of the C-suites' strategy has been to open self-funded residencies where they pay their residents much less than they would have to pay the equivalent lifelong salaried PA. This, then, creates an "oversupply" (from docs' perspective) of trained docs and forces pay down.

Personally I have no sentiment for the profession and do see how this could ultimately be good for patients. Unfortunately, in reality the FIRE people seem to just take all that cash for themselves and the patient is left paying the same amount or more than they did 20 years ago (via insurance or whatever you want to call it).

The increase in hashrate can be interpreted as an increase in security, i.e. it is much more difficult/expensive for an attacker (even nation-level) to harm Bitcoin. This is mandatory for a financial network that aims to operate on global scale.

Bitcoin does not consume energy per transaction but per block. How many transactions the block contains does not change the energy requirement to mine it. If the number of transactions on the Bitcoin network would go to zero tomorrow, energy consumption would not change (same if transactions were doubled).

Bitcoin's energy usage is a function of hashrate which is affected by mining profitability which is affected by block reward (mined coins + tx fees) and energy prices.

Long story short: Just make "dirty" energy more expensive by including the cost it incurs on the climate. This would make Bitcoin's already large share of renewables even bigger and would improve global energy production and consumption as a result.

I read Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.

Written around 2000, it is surprising how many of his verses are relevant today. These are translations of the original, so have picked up some contemporary interpretation.

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."

What scale? They lost most of their market share and they have a pretty low headcount. Wikipedia says they have around 750 people, but after the most recent layoff it's probably closer to 500. For comparison, Lime (scooter company) has about the same number of people. I think it's fair to compare Mozilla to a medium-sized non-profit, which would put CEO's salary in the 500k range.
Exactly. I have a suspicion that a large part of people complaining about "Internet issues" are faced with WiFi issues. Apparently many struggle with the concept of separate links that make up a connection (LAN vs WAN).

But the reverse mix-up also happens: Hotels, restaurants and the similar businesses like to boast their "included free WiFi" when they really mean complimentary Internet access, provided with an AP.
I think C will outlive those languages, in the sense that it will exist. But it doesn't necessarily follow that your grandchildren will have to learn it. There will be some other language like JS or foobar 2050 that's just way more relevant and popular :) But they certainly COULD if they wanted to.

The question of whether a technology simply exists vs. whether it retains its popularity is an interesting one. Chairs and forks will both exist and be popular. iPhones will exist, but they won't be popular on some time scale. So it is interesting to think whether C is closer to one or the other :)
Yeah it won't. Linux is kind of a clusterfuck compared with BSD.
