Also, they sell mostly-local, well dressed body-shopping drones to local companies, e.g. in Germany, where many companies require the "consultants" (body-shopped implementation slaves) to speak German. Salary is mediocre but not super bad and you have a chance to work in top companies and huge projects.
Yes, if anything, we should be macro-managing. The environmental air quality that we incur on ourselves is the largest factor we will have to deal with in life, why not start there? Why are we tolerating a society predicated on burning fuel to push two tonnes of steel around for almost any kind of human travel when there are so many cleaner alternatives?
Fascinating. Most of my circles are Australian, the majority have iPhones, and yet I have never seen anyone mention iMessage. Everyone I know uses Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, with Telegram and Signal being very distant third and fourths.

We must have very different circles!
This doesn’t work.

It’s not content filtering that I care about, it’s the ability for Apple to enforce standards around usability and features that are better for their users.

Without control of the store they lose that leverage.

App devs will just ship outside of it and include all the tracking they want. It’ll also block Apple from being able to require things like Apple ID or Apple Pay support which provide direct benefits to users, but can run counter to what app devs want.
Exactly. Management's job is to make decisions, and they outsource it to "consultants" to insulate themselves from blame. This is the true reason consulting firms exist and make so much money, this is the true service they provide.
I don't eat dinner until after 9. So this diet would definitely work for me.
If we're being pedantic here, it's not Win32.

> (Note that this was formerly called the Win32 API. The name Windows API more accurately reflects its roots in 16-bit Windows and its support on 64-bit Windows.)

Though Win32 is going to stick around for a while as can be seen in the URL for the page that's quoted from: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/apiindex/wind...
Heh, I find it uncomfortable under 25C.
An interesting thing that we forget with Bob and Clippy is the people reviewing/commenting on it are almost by definition NOT the people it was aimed at. Having sold 58k copies, there must be some people who actually used it.
That’s true sometimes, but Doge was incredibly liquid so its market cap was more indicative of reality. You can look at volume to see if this effect is happening for any specific coin, but I’m not seeing SCAM listed anywhere to check.
Wait, I can't expect everyone to download an app, but I should expect everyone to buy a $500-1000 phone? That's ridiculous.
I'm not sure what you mean by nit.

Apple designed and released custom hardware that used a new slot to accelerate compute. My point is that this illustrates Afterburner as a product shows clear direction for Apple to put Apple Silicon into discrete graphics or other acceleration compute in the Mac Pro.
In fairness, there was another incident where two 5th grade girls (9-10) at the same school tried dragging me into the bushes on the east side of the building out-of-view when I was in the 4th grade (8). Unfortunately for them, there was a space around each bush and the building, so it was easy to slip out next to the building. At the time, I didn't understand what they were doing, so it wasn't that traumatic.

The "magnet" schools seemed to group poor and dysfunctional kids together and then try to sprinkle middle-class and gifted kids involuntarily under a social experiment that they'll make the other kids "better" by osmosis. The promise of the "magnet" school was they were supposed to do something extra and get more money, but I think they were a magnet for concentrating problems. My guess is there was a lot of child abuse occurring against girls in the low income areas and at magnet schools, so some of them were experiencing precocious puberty and acting-out.

Oddly enough, I was never in a fight with other boys anytime in school, probably because I dwarfed everyone else. Or maybe we were all too tired to care?

Also interesting was by high school, which started later, I was able to awaken at the same minute (7:58 am) every day. By then, I bicycled 3.8 miles / 6.1 km twice a day to school; a school with a parking lot full of students' Mercedes and BMWs while the teachers were making peanuts.

Having excess savings go into cryptocurrencies would be a stabilizing mechanism. It keeps it away from consumption, staving off inflation. And it keeps it away from financial assets, avoiding a generalized speculative boom. As long as cryptocurrencies remain decently segregated from the main financial system, the whole mechanism becomes a heat sink.
It's weird that people get alergic to stuff they grew up with.

I grew up with cats. Never had a problem with them. My last cat died when I was 21. I moved out. I didn't have any contact with a cat for about 4 years. Bam, now I'm alergic to cats.

Air purifier does wonderful thing for people with allergies. Thanks to it I could pretty much stayed off meds last year.
I haven't read anything about FUTEX_SWAP since Aug 2020. Do you know is there ongoing progress?
That's even more bizarre, since that uses the "v86" emulator, which can literally run in a browser tab with one click:

You put all of that effort into compiling this lengthy comment just to come off as a condescending, smart ass critic. Constructive criticism would explain how his model can’t possibly give rise to the Lorentz invariance or Schrodinger’s equation. But you physicists clearly have it all figured out.

Good day.
Some trivia ... Melinda French was the GM over Microsoft Bob. She later married Bill Gates and is now known as Melinda Gates.
I guess that's why they are in BETA? Nobody makes perfect product in their first attempt.
Yes of course, they are all exported from ntdll.dll (in userspace) and ntoskrnl.exe (in kernelspace). You may need to link dynamically or make your own import libraries for many of them though.
That is surprising. They have an inferior efficiency already due to the Betz limit (it is proportional to surface area facing the wind) and will always be about 60% max for a HAWT and worse for VAWT. However, the dynamics of turbulance have been one of the hardest things to model in large wind farms. The article is a bit light on details, but the last time I went to the Sandia Labs wind turbine conference in Albuquerque, VAWTS were nowhere to be seen (2015) and the biggest modeling challenge was large farm interferrence. Very interesting.

> Maybe we’ll see some innovation in this space from browsers in the future, where an app can identify itself as local only and then be sandboxed by the browser.

That would be a really cool 'HTML5' API — let the page do:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
// some bootstrap
document.goOffline();
});

Which could prompt the user — "this web page wants to disable its own internet access. Do you want to continue? (Refresh the page to reload from server)[OK/Cancel]" — and then it can do longer use the internet & has its own storage which gets wiped before it's allowed back online.

Would allow all the benefits to devs of doing things in the browser (if that's their choice), & end-users could trust that it was truly offline.
The bulk of that is stablecoins though, of dubious backing. You couldn’t cash out billions in dollars.

There were no usernames with watsapp, its just your phone number, its so easy that even my mom can use it.
It's not 4% improvement for the wine use case, it's 4% improvement in existing synthetic benchmarks for the futex syscall. And a 21% regression in performance in another synthetic benchmark.

It's likely the wine WMO implementation is getting a much more significant increase in performance than 4%, but the patch description doesn't provide numbers.
It's common usage in North African and Middle Eastern / Near-Eastern studies, in English. "Palestine" designates and area larger than either Israel or the Palestinian Territories are, individually or combined. Further, by convention, it's essentially timeless—if you write "Palestine" in this sort of context, it'll mean the same thing in 100 years as it does now, provided that convention continues. Meanwhile, the borders and names of modern nation-states change from time to time.

I haven't looked into it, but the convention may descend from the German, which language dominates studies of those regions—aside from English and Arabic, now, but for much of the 19th and 20th centuries it eclipsed all other Western languages as the language of Near East studies, generally. (it also comes up more than one might expect in social science concerning South America, in that time period)

PC gaming isn't niche. In the past few years it feels far more mainstream then it ever has before. You underestimate that there's literally a generation which has grown up on Twitch and YouTube where people predominantly play games on PC.

Sure mobile gaming is massive. But considering the current growth of PC gaming it's hardly something that negates the existence of PC gaming even if it's smaller in comparison.
Came to comment that.

We're just focused on writing content that's interesting to developers, and somewhat related to internal tools :)
Tough crowd. I think this looks great. I've been managing these sorts of calculations manually, and I think there's definitely a market for better tools in the financial planning space. (I agree with removing the theme selector though.)
Because you don't have to change one line of your previously running software to get this benefit or replace your hardware. Of course, will need a new version of the kernel and wine, but that is a matter of time to hit distro repositories. Also, consider that this will accumulate when combined with new user space libs, servers, compilers, drivers... Software will improve without any change just by keeping your distro updated.

Yes, a 4% improvement is huge.
I agree with your point, also worth remembering that much of crypto trading is wash trading, but the point stands that if you bought crypto in the past 10 years you almost certainly can sell it all today at the market price.
I’ve been wondering why we don’t have these on top of our street lights. I imagine a street light with a Darrieus vawt on the pole under the light and a small solar panel on top.
I personally haven't had any trouble with Maven but that's after beating my head against it for ~5 years... It feels nice and comfortable now. :')
The Velvia simulation at the end is very good, nice work!

As someone that still regularly shoots film and also owns a Fuji X Series camera, I don't find the film simulations that Fujifilm puts in the X models to be any good, so I feel like there is still a lot of worthwhile work to be done here.
If you think Apple is collecting less personal data using iOS than Google is collecting using Android then you'll be disappointed...
Oscilloscopes are hardware that can be used to analyze digital and analog signals. They may be able to interface with a PC (USB) using software as well. logic analyzers are small, usually cheap pieces of hardware that can analyze digital signals only, and rely on software on a connected PC. IMO even the $10 analyzers are great for digital (troubleshooting I2C, SPI etc), and can analyze many channels at once. You only need a scope for analog.
Highly agree.

I also prefer to host any actual services behind my domain on a third provider, but at the very least being able to redirect your domains is very helpful.
I don't think calling Chrome a closed source browser is accurate unless you have a citation showing that Chromium is missing this code

That's completely backwards. You would need some evidence showing that Chrome does not include proprietary patches, otherwise you pretty much have to conclude that it's closed-source, even if it includes a large % of code from an open-source product.

“Fraud creates alpha”
Pre-Covid, I was involved in a project to set up an outsourced tech support center. Of the competing vendors, Accenture had by far the slickest Experience Center, the largest meeting room with the most people, the best dressed top brass with coiffed hair, and the shiniest slides. But the people they trotted out as examples of their best tech talent were, by and large, clearly incompetent and/or from entirely the wrong domain, and this is the A-team they trot out to customers, not the B-team you actually get or the Z-team they downgrade to after launch when they think you aren't looking anymore.

We ended up going with a much smaller player who knew what they're doing, and from whom we are by far the largest customer instead of just one among thousands. Zero regrets.
perhaps also aerodynamics relative to a big generator blob right at the top?
Yes but that doesn’t mean people are selling large amounts each day. What is the volume? And how much of it is wash trading?
How is installing an executable on my machine and then entering my financial info any less sketchy than entering my data into a website? The average user would still have to take it on faith that the data isn't going anywhere, and as an industry we have spent the last 20 years telling people not to download unknown software onto their systems. I think it would be a complete own-goal for the builder of this to switch to that model.
Well, it's a relative measure. There's been a ton of optimization already. All the low-hanging fruit is gone. It's probably been a long time since a single optimization gained 4%.

The kernel is regularly shedding off unmaintained code.

So the codebase is actually not growing as much as it could.
It's not just tech. This is how people talk about hobbies, academic fields, etc.
Tried this on Windows 10 and immediately fired up the Civilization II demo... it mostly worked well until I built a unit and tried to move. It would take about 30 seconds for the unit to move... and I couldn't interact with anything else (within the emulator) for that time. Sometimes the unit would move correctly, but most of the time it crawled. Odd! But neat for the few minutes I played with it before that bug led me to just Quit the whole emulator.
This is a problem with Market Cap in general even for the largest and most solid businesses like Amazon and Apple.

It’s a statistic, not a measure.
Sure, I don't have trouble believing it. I just thought "common sense" was a little strong.
There's a team at amazon (I want to say part of their worklink product?) doing cloud-based rendering and then streaming it back to clients.

I believe they're focused on solving security problems though, not performance.

Perf market feels pretty narrow, but corporate security is huge market, and Amazon in the space would really justify the solution here.
Signed up!

I'd love to see a little more flexibility in putting some kinds of numbers in, especially as someone not great with understanding financial data. For instance, I'm currently plugging numbers in about my mortgage. I know how much I currently pay per year in homeowner's insurance, but ProjectFi is asking me for the annual rate. I divided what I'm paying per year by the current estimated market value and got 0.3%... but I'm sure that's not accurate.
Amount of free time is orthogonal to start time. That's controlled by the length of their school day; not when they start.
Accenture is "split" into Technology, Digital, Strategy and a few others. In technology and digital they have implementation devs and in strategy they have power point warriors.
>We are of course willing to responsibly disclose the specific vulnerabilities we know about to Cellebrite if they do the same for all the vulnerabilities they use in their physical extraction and other services to their respective vendors, now and in the future.

Having worked a the consulting arm of a big 4, what this article (slightly) misses, is that auditing is a limited market (you can count how many Fortune 500 companies there are that need auditing), while there is a practically open ended amount of consulting projects (and monies).

Mostly, these companies can't do consulting projects at companies they audit (conflict of interest). So the Big4 are mostly shifting away from auditing, and moving into more consulting.

While I can echo a lot of the sentiment here, about powerpoint this, powerpoint that, subpar delivery, etc, from my experience I can also say there are very many talented individuals building extremely impressive solutions.

What most people didn't mention, is that these firms see the solutions / market landscape as a whole, something that not every company can do. They can help an unattractive company (one that (ie.) techies may be less inclined to work at) develop cutting edge solutions, bringing experience from how the bigger players do it.

I know this from looking at some Amazon job postings where they looking for ppl w/ chromium experience.
one might consider that, taking the marginal utility of money into account, a dollar in the hands of an Amazon employee is in fact more valuable than the same dollar in the hands of an Amazon shareholder.

I'm not at all certain this is correct. Yes, Jeff Bezos owns a lot of Amazon; but so do pension funds and other institutional investors. Amazon has a lot of very wealthy employees, and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the average employee is wealthier than the average beneficial owner of Amazon stock.
Who said anything about management consulting? I'm talking purely tech / "digital transformation".

That said, my opinion of management consulting is similarly low.
Fair enough. For a day or so I was looking up if I could somehow emulate iMessage on a Pinephone, and I remember a lot of it being a non-starter unless you had an iPhone. It stuck out to me that Apple had their own MMSC for some reason. But perhaps it is old news or I read the wrong post?
Why does it need root?

My GF has no idea how to administrate her phone, she has an android, and certainly doesn't side load apps, install them from websites or use an alternative app store.

She wouldn't know how to do those things, so this point seems kinda moot.
Are these humidifier particles bad at all? What does “cellular response” mean? Typically combustion particles are bad because they contain carcinogens and PM2.5 can deposit deep in the lungs.

This seems like a “PM2.5 bad no matter the source” theory which isn’t supported at all.
Hey, on https://www.remotehub.com/services/details/freelance-illustr..., you instantly share your data with thousands of employers and that can save you the hassle of finding a job yourself. Many employers are looking for candidates precisely by their resume on various sources. Such sites with advertisements must be carefully filtered and selected as this site must be reliable.
the "non personal cause" could be tricky though, I see that for example with religious people doing things for non personal causes- they are actually gaining from it but not money or fame, could be "points" in the afterlife or happiness
You can put words in my mouth all day but here is exactly what I wrote.

> When it comes to discussing specific experiences that minorities face, however, you should defer to the experts in the area who have lived their entire lives being in the seat of discrimination.

We all appreciate attempts to understand and empathize with us. You can go very far by talking with us and trying to place yourself in our shoes, but we don't appreciate it when you talk over us, attempt to silence our voices, or, case in point, put words in our mouths and exaggerate our points beyond recognition.

Please try and engage this topic in good faith and not through pedantics and wordplay. If you fundamentally disagree that the victims of discrimination should have the loudest voice in the matter, I'd love to talk further.
And yet there was a prompt visit to HR. The text is also clearly redacted, so we actually don't know what the original said.
It's worse than that - the hiring managers were accurately identifying things that matter. The article isn't saying that the hiring managers were unfairly biased, but that they were somehow able to pick up on traits (their level of education, their level of professional success) that they'd otherwise care about.

It'd be more worrying if hiring managers picked up on thing that didn't matter (their parents' level of education, controlled for their own, their parents' income level, controlled for their own, where they grew up, again, controlled for other markers of professional success) but the article isn't saying that's what the study found.

To me it sounds like they were going to come to the same conclusion no matter what. If the hiring managers were unable to identify any meaningful signals and discern better credentials from the recordings, they could've spun this as: the hiring managers, unable to discern things that matter, picked up on irrelevant cues and discriminated against people with certain irrelevant characteristics (it's inevitable that some traits would be correlated with the hiring managers' selection). In this case, the hiring managers managed to discriminate in favor of better candidates - so they are just reframing better credentials as class.
This article is harmful noise, written by a reporter known to peddle anti-Tesla FUD. If you care about rapidly transitioning to a world where energy is carbon-free, you should care about supporting Tesla. They make solar roofs, battery storage, and the world's most efficient electric vehicles. They have done more to change the course of the auto industry on this front than anyone else, and it's time that we show them some respect.
