Wishing OP the best, and maybe your workflow is good for you, but 1000+ tabs is insane to me. I don't understand what you could possibly need 1000 tabs for.

I'm certainly guilty of keeping too many tabs open I'll never read, and about once a month I declare "tab bankrupty" and close most of them.

When I'm doing research, I save papers in Zotero instead of just keeping a tab open. That way I can organize them how I wanted and keep notes associated with them.

I'll add that with DPDK you end up needing your own TCP stack if you're doing anything above layer 3.

TCP is a beast with opportunity for countless subtle bugs. The Linux kernel is perhaps the best implementation there is. Many userspace implementations are simplified and missing features.

Even giants like Cloudflare use Linux kernel for routing when they need to operate above layer 3. They only use DPDK for very low level features.

DPDK has its place but for most use cases you need to man handle TCP and you're better off using kernel packet handling for that

100% this.

Not really. They pretty much stayed on course with both programs throughout the war — and this was true for those in the military just as much as civilians. The policy of shooting anyone who hinted at retreat, combined with treating Soviet POWs as traitors (which encouraged soldiers to fight to the literal death), contributed to both tallies.

You did not offend me at all. I'm not a kid. I am just offering a mirror from the perspective of someone who has actually lived the kind of thing you are proposing.

Look at it a different way: Back then I thought what you are proposing was sensible enough that I spent two million dollars to execute precisely that strategy. I ended-up losing a business that I built over ten years because of that decision at a time when it was the worst decision one could make.

In other words, if I called you a fool I would be calling my younger self an even bigger fool. I actually believed it enough to effectively destroy my company and affect my life for years. I am not calling you a fool. I am sharing a lesson I learned the hard way and simply warning readers not to assume they understand reality without the benefit of experience. Sadly some of this stuff we only learn after the fact, not before. I can't blame you at all for not understanding it.

EDIT: If there's emotion in my tone, please forgive me, ten years later and this still hurts. The experience put me in the hospital more than once and nearly cost us everything, we were horribly close from losing our home and everything we built over decades.
I agree and have experienced that too. Even without obsoleted parts, stuff will be impossible to find all the sudden, particularly specialty components. Heck, I've had vendors who simply had fabs that caught fire... but I always have a laundry list of substitutes that are pin compatible when humanly possible, which is for almost all the parts on the board. For the ones that aren't possible, that's a much smaller BOM to buy ahead of time if you absolutely have to keep the PCB design the same.

The caveat is that because MCUs are not standardized you frequently get screwed over so my replacement part list is a collection of versions of the part with different amounts of memory that are designed to be pin-compatible. Sometimes that isn't enough, and often companies aren't big enough to negotiate a guaranteed supply. But if you're not big enough to negotiate a guaranteed supply you just have to deal with buying enough of the parts to keep you in business long enough to create a new revision before you literally run out of stuff to sell...

I sympathize with the other comment berating me at length for being flippant about this, and am genuinely sorry for being flippant especially in light of their experience with the opposite issue (buying stuff and getting screwed by customers canceling orders). But I was talking about a dog washing startup. A dog washing startup vocally complaining to the news about needing to respin one board because of a supply chain interruption.

Yes, there is FCC and other testing you have to do if you significantly modify a board, so I'm not sitting here oblivious to the challenges involved in a respin. My response was to them being a poster child for the people suffering from this issue. Those of you who cannot find any component that will do the job have my absolute sympathy and I apologize for not being more verbose.
Nice that you talk about edits (or new articles?) that you have not seen. Spoken like a true Wikipedist: be hostile to anyone who is outside of the clique and dares to criticize it.

The hostile speed deletions and reverts applied to new users are never happen admins, or members of the clique - even if the quality of things they add is very, very low.

I even wrote above that there are ways to fight it: for example by randomizing the names of users who made the edits.
Although Im quite sure that Wikipedia is full of sad people, who will spend a lot of time and effort to still be able to bypass such a system.

What is even more sad, is that in this particular discussions, you have 3 different users who wrote that it happened to them... just look to other replies to the top comment.

The Big 5 Personality Inventory is pretty much the gold standard in the field of psychology. The traits it measures are reasonably (though not completely) stable over a person's lifetime, have decent predictive power, and have been tested and studied rigorously for decades now. They have nearly nothing in common with Meyers-Briggs.

In particular, each of the traits is measured on a separate spectrum—none of them are treated as binary the way M-B does, and they don't seek to pigeonhole you based on your levels of the different traits into some oversimplified bucket.

> The sensors and cameras in a car are always going to be better at spotting danger than a human for things like blind spot monitoring and backup cameras.

Any data to back this up? Note that there is a difference between "always better" and "generally better". The former needs only one counterexample.

My car has on several occasions failed to detect that there is a car in front of me, and would have happily crashed into it. About once a year, it also suddenly applies the brake hard thinking there is a car in front of me when there isn't. That is quite dangerous - were there a car behind me it would have rear ended me.
A good tutor and sufficient preparation time should be enough to transform anybody into an SAT expert. If that is the case and this indicates a person with low IQ can score high on the test then potentially everybody is potentially an outlier, which then isn’t an outlier at all.
> No. You're confusing group outcomes with individual ones.

This is a weird kind of selectivity. You weren't making this argument when OP claimed that teaching about systemic racism would be fatalistic. You were perfectly fine with the conflation between group outcomes and individual outcomes on that front.

So why the sudden change in heart?

And if you were Russian you would know that it was the Soviets that defeated the Nazis and won the war.

And if you were Polish you would know that the Soviets were bad for invading originally, and the English were also pretty bad through their initial inactivity. In fact if you look at the death toll by nation, one could argue that the UK barely went to war at all. The UK lost what, 400,000 people? Compared with Poland's 5,000,000? And of course a significant portion of the pilots in the Battle of Britain were Polish, and the Enigma machine was cracked by three Polish mathematicians eight years prior to Alan Turing pushing the work over the line (and subsequently taking all the credit for it, at least in the eyes of the British).

>Is Openness then really a feature of personality? Or maybe rather a description of the social behaviour of one person in a specific context?

This is a great question! And it touches on what's call the "person-situation" debate, first popularized by Walter Michel[1]. Essentially there was a major debate about whether traits were a thing or we should just be focused on context-specific behavior. Mischel believed that traits weren't useful, and situations ruled.

In many ways this debate has been resolved by the "person as a density distribution" [2]. People do vary a lot within, and that variation is vitally important. However, their average or "set point" upon which they vary is also important and predictive.

When we talk about the correlation between a trait and some external marker, we are only looking at correlations with averages or set-points, which as you mention is only a limited picture of that person, but it is still useful and valuable to look at. For example, I'm a fairly open person. This means that on average I'm more open in more situations. And this is predictive. It's also important to note that this only loosely predicts what I'll do in any particular situation or at any particular timepoint.

I agree, I really liked history and the humanities back in school but after traveling and living in different countries I found it extremely repulsive how the humanities are basically getting twisted to fit the local agenda everywhere.

Wikipedia states it pretty well, "When factor analysis (a statistical technique) is applied to personality survey data, it reveals semantic associations: some words used to describe aspects of personality are often applied to the same person." [1]

The Big Five are a statistically-derived groupings of phrases that are reasonably stable when measured from different angles. I think it would be fair to call it a "modest initial result" if compared to the physical sciences, or "wildly successful" if compared to basically anything prior that came out of the social sciences. There are some quite reasonable critiques listed on the wikipedia page, such as a lack of modeling theory, or only accounting for a portion of personality differences, or arguments for a slightly different number of factors, etc. That said, it seems to be one of the first actually solid findings that ever came out of the social sciences. It's like the whole field has been flailing around, swept down a river in the dark, and for the first time we found a stone that has a bit of purchase, even if it's covered with moss and slippery.

Myers-Briggs is astrology for office workers. You can read anything into it, helpful or unhelpful.
I agree but with a caveat, it's largely a result of BAD just-in-time manufacturing. Zero inventory production systems (ZIPS) are what people often mean when they talk about JIT, they are different. Toyota, one of the originators and leaders of JIT/lean has not had this problem...because they don't blindly ZIPS [0].

Not holding inventory is great for a lot of reasons, but it is a calculated risk...Toyota learned from experience that if they want to do it, they need to understand risk all the way up their supply chain. They largely aren't having this problem. They de-risked certain things because they really treat TPS and everything associated with it as a philosophy not a set of heuristics that should just be implemented blindly. Manufacturing something is all tradeoffs...there is (almost) nothing with a universal upside. Sure I want to hold less inventory, but JIT is actually about manufacturing time, not inventory. If I have NO inventory and NO ability to get inventory my manufacturing time goes up while I wait with my thumb in the fertilizer pipe.

I've worked with a couple of manufacturing plants (and consultants...) that treat 'JIT' inventory management as something that can simply be pushed off to vendors and then the upside of less inventory enjoyed. They have specs and forms and certification and paperwork...but nobody looks at it. Those are the companies struggling now. They outsourced without fully understanding the risk of the outsourcing. Usually this doesn't bite the world, it bites one or two companies that relied on a certain part (someone misses an EOL notice) or a certain vendor (who goes bust because the owner's grandson ran the thing into the ground). It's like my students who make choices in the first week of the semester that seem minor...and then are frustrated when it effects their grade at the end of the semester (sorry, too much grading this week)

I'm in the same boat. As soon as I find time I'm nuking my pfsense router and installing OpenBSD. I just need it to do NAT, DHCP and always work. I don't need a fancy web-ui, traffic graphs or anything like that, I thought I did when I installed pfsense ~10 years ago but the only time I've logged in for any reason was when it stopped working for some reason (usually the ISP's fault).

OpenBSD's history is impeccable and I really don't want to have to think about my router after initial setup other than installing updates once in a while.
Are non-inclusive safe spaces legal?

It seems that in residences that it would be sanctionable to deny housing based on assigned sex or gender identity, and in education it would be sanctionable to have admissions based on that as well.

I was curious about this with Hackbright too, but I wasn't interested in this cause enough to see what legal counsel thought of it (it was the closest coding academy to me at one point). The California regulator ended up slapping them with other violations, and the sanctions seem fairly toothless.

Linux Foundation launches open source agriculture infrastructure project
When I posted the first one in this thread, I didn't realize there was some previous discussion about this decision by this project. I read the post, then came in here and saw a comment that had jumped from that post to a conspiracy-ish project to ban all "offensive" words or something. I didn't have the context at the time to hear the dogwhistle so to speak so it seemed purely ridiculous.

Now that it's clear what they are actually worried about, yes it was meant to be dismissive. I'm not convinced this trend is real or that it's a problem if it is.

So, I agree that in today's economic climate it likely would be difficult to work well initially. However, I think that's mostly because (at least from my perspective) we all KNOW today that the largest corporations in the world have already won. At least on the current economic playground.

So I think one thing I didn't explain was that I believe that a particular type of phenomenon would "arise" from a structure like I've proposed.

For example, at small scale Bitcoin (for all intents and purposes) is worthless due to things like the "51% attack". But at a large enough scale, where enough people are standing firmly on their own two feet, fewer and fewer people are subject to the whims of some "elite class". The reasoning then follows that the more soundly something like this was regulated the more difficult it becomes for an elite class to exist let alone manipulate everything.

What I think also here is (from my perspective) an insight into human nature. That insight tells me that, by nature when people aren't forced or leverage doesn't exist to coerce people to comply, the manipulation will exponentially decrease as fewer and fewer people see it as a necessity to survive.

As it becomes exponentially more difficult to be greedy, I think greedy people will start to be far less greedy.
> We name things based on what people working in a field find most convenient for their work

My point is that I with kore than a decade of working theoretical physics I have NEVER seen anyone, student, professor or otherwise not use revolutions as their unit of concern. However they do it by squeezing together 2Pi (or very few by using tau) as a pseudo-unit. Imagine if we stopped using meters and instead used a unit we called meterians which was 1/sqrt(2) meter, yet everyone always in every single equation or table listing wrote out “72 sqrt(2) meterians” would that not be stupid?

As for redefining sin and cos, there really is no need you almost always see equations using cos(x pi) and the “annoying factors” you get in derivations still pop out, just not from the function itself, but instead from the factor you’ve put in place so you can keep dealing with rotations or half rotations while pretending to use radians.

As for concerns about other shapes it’s literally the case that the opposite of what you proclaim is true. If you rotate any other shape than a circle then there is no connection between radians as a length along the perimeter and rotation. A unit square requires 8 perimeter length units to rotate. By any kid even before they learn to multiply will be able to show you exactly that rotating a square once completely is one rotation. The fact that you might personally say “no that’s not intuitive! We should say that it’s 1 times (8 radial perimeter units) just shows that you’ve disconnected the math from what’s intuitive.

And changing how we deal with trigonometric formulas to drop the constant reference to pi, even though we’re multiplying it in and deciding net it away, doesn’t change anything, the fact that it shows up everywhere in formulas is just a concealed even of mathematical robustness, if we decided instead to measure angles in units of 1/200*(4pi^2)/tau as is done in land measurements doesn’t make the math simpler or harder, it just changes the scaling factor. But there is the benefit that people immediately and intuitively understand the measurements written down without need of a calculator, though that would also be the case with simple fractions and direct percentages.
Your example is out of place. A snake is amoral, it cannot act in a moral or non-moral way. Morality is by definition a trait that only humans posses, as we believe that human could or should act in certain ways, despite natural instincts.
^^ this is huge. I was looking at CPU's for a ML recently and Intel is out of the question. Chips with enough lanes to hit full speed on 4 GPUs + SSD cost twice as much as AMD.

This may even apply to high end gaming machines. Soon as you have 2 SSD's or video cards you will exceed link budget on most Intel CPU's and everything slows down.

It also happens to routers. 10 gig NICs plus attached SSD storage, over link budget again.

Intel's stupid market segmentation is biting them in the rear
